But the committee did visit one of the Pittsburgh Coal Co's model mines and after putting on overalls, miners’ lamos and bandana handkerchiefs, descended half a mile or so into the earth and came back praising the sights they saw. Visit Somers Mine. Leaving Pittsburgh at 10 o'clock yes- terday morning, accompanied by the usual procession of photographers and newspaper men, the Senators were led by Morrow to the Pittsburgh Coal Cc.'s Somers mine, 35 miles south of Pitts- burg, at Pricedale, Pa. Here Morrow let the crowd into the mine offices and the nvestizalion got under way. At the outset Morrow ex- plained that the Moon Run mine of the company. visited by the committee Friday, was the only one of its mines where there were barracks housing striking miners. The barracks, he said. were exceptions, rather than the rule, and the colonles of striking miners visited by the committee previously were not to be found everywhere. At Pricedale he explained. there were neither barracks nor colonies of idl: strikers and while there was some “peacetul picketing” neither the com- pany nor the strikers caused any trou- bie. He said the Pricedale property was tvpical of the Pittsburgh companv's mines, while the others visited by the committee were not. Ten per cent of the 400 union men formerly occupying company homes in Pricedale are still occupying them, he said. while many other union men are now working in other non-union mines of the company. Denies Forcible Evictions. | He explained that there had been no | forible ~ evictions—that the company | Invited the union men to keep living in company homes and offered them work in the non-union mines. Those who refused to do so were given plenty of time to move and were moved at the company's expense. It was at this stage of the testimony | that Scnator Wheeler began asking about why the Pittsburgh Co. had brok- en the Jacksonville agreement, and Mr. Morrow replied that the agreement wasn't broken. | “But you did enter into an agree- | ment at Jacksonville, after the Federal Government had used its good offices to bring about the mecting?" asked Senator Wheeler. Yes, sir,” sald Morrow. “That agreement was to run for | three years, wasn't §t2” fore we discuss that I woud like to ex- plain some things about the nature of that agreement.” Wheeler Demands Facts. “I don't want any definitions, want the facts,” said Wheeler. “The agreement was to run until April, 1927. You closed your mines in 1925 and opened them again with non-union labor. Didn't you sign an to pay a basic wage scale, and tha agreement was to run for three y ? Morrow explained that the compa; agreed 1o pay a basic wage scale as !long as the mine was dealing with union labor, but nothing in the agree- ment prevented the company from clos- ing its mines and opening again with non-union labor. was brought about because, paying the union wage scale, the coal could not be sold at a profit. He maintained that his company did not enter into an agreement (o employ union labor, and recalled that he had been indicted by |8 Federal grand jury in Indianapolis |in 1921 for entering into such an agreement, which was held to be in violation of the Sherman law., The indictment was afterward quashed. Names Go Into Record. Senator Wheeler sought to show that new directors of the company were responsible for its changed attitude to- ward organized labor, but did not pur. sue this after getting down for the record the names of R. B. Mellon and A. K. Oliver as members of the board. Morrow told the committee that only one mine is operating now on a union basis in the Pittsburgh flelds, and that this mine employs 123 men, who still are being paid under the Jacksonville wage scale. On the other hand, non- union mines now operating are em- ploying 20,000 men, perhaps 15 per cent of whom are former members of the union When the committee attempted agatr to get at the difference in cost of produc- | | that the company is mining coal cheap- er with non-union labor, Morrow de- duction. The committee did not press him for an answer. Senator Wheeler then returned to the company's atti- tude toward organized labor, | You are proposing now to break Away permanently from organized labor?" he asked. Wil Not Talk to Unions, “We are going to keep on operating hon-union,” replied Morrow. "We will not treat with any officials of organ- ized labor, that s, Workers of Ameriea Do you know of any other labor organization you might . suld Morrow, Morrow tonight Issued the following staterient to make clear his position o Jacksonville wage agreement: “Mr J.

FEBRUARY Barr told the committee her husband was working in the mines for $4.08 & day, but that he never got any cash as the company store took all he made: Company officials stood. by listening while she sald the store charged exor- bitant prices and that she couldn't af- ford clothing for the children. She said conditions were much worse than when the mine was operating with union labor. She sald her husband had to pay $7.88 a month for the house in addition to fuel and light charges. One of the Senators, who wouldn't be quoted, declared the condition of the family was a “damnable outrage,” but a mine official asked, as the party left the house, “What do they expect us to do about a case like that? She was a widow with seven children when that guy married her. We can’'t wash them can we?" mittee into the spic and span home of Ralph Snyder, another mine worker His wife, dressed for the occasion, met the Senators and proudly showed them her two bables. “How are vou getting along?" asked Senator Gooding. “Fine,” replied Mrs. Snyder. “‘What does your husband make?" asked Sen- ator Wheeler. ive dollars and thirty-five cents a day,” sald Mrs. Snyder, and when Sen- ator Wheeler developed the fact that he had boen making $7.50 under the union scale he asked Mrs. Snyder if she missed the difference. She said she did not. “Do you mean you get along just as well on $535 a day as you got along on $7502" asked Senator Wheeler. Bought Bigger Auto. “Yes, sir. we got along just as wel said Mrs. Snyder, beaming. and she added, that she and her husband had bought a larger automobile than they had when the union worked the mines. But this was the last and only home the committee members were shown by the mine officials. More union pick- els had gathered. First they took the committee to hear the ctory of a 10- vear-old girl who had been assaulted by a former colored union man who turned strike-breaker. Then they heard the story of a young woman's indiscreet visit to quarters of the coal and iron police, and were told that other young women had been equally indiscreet. Riding up the Monongahela Vallev in a special train provided by the Pitts- burgh & Lake Erle Railroad, the com- mittee stoppsd once to look over the pay roll of Banning No. 2 mine, at Jacobs Creek. and obtained figures showing how much more union work- ers made in the mines under the Jack- sonville scale than non-union miners now are making. But the climax of the tour came at the Warden mine, at Suterville, where, after some protracted debate among Senators and newspaper- men, the whole party put on clean overalls, gloves, bandana handkerchiefs and miners’ lamps and went down into the mine. This is a model mine, which employs 800 miners and turns out 3,800 | tons of coal a day. But the committes | found only one man digzing coal, with |a machine, because the Senators wer> | too tired and didn’t have time to walk | any farther. Find Mines Dark. | The two things demonstrated by the visit were that mines are dark and there is coal inside of them. For the sake of the newspaper men, however. the Senators allowed them- selves to be quoted as follows: Senator Wheeler—"The ventilation and working conditions are good. It is a good-looking operation.” Senator Gooding--“Very up to date.” Senator Pine—"Ths mine is in very good shape. It is my first visit to a mine."

ILLNESS IS FATAL T0 EDGAR WALLACE Labor’s Legislative Delegate Dies in G. U. Hospital After Operation.
