PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26.—The atten- tion of the Anthracite Coal Strike Com- mission was to-day directed to the claims | ana charges of the independent operators, | the first case being that of G. B. Markle | | & Co., whose collferies are located in and about Jeddo, In the Léhigh region. | Ten witnesses for the company were ex- | amined, the more important being Syd- ney Willlams, general superintendent ot the firm; Gertrude Martin, a professional nurse in the employ of the company, and Frank Walk, general storekeeper at Jeddo. Superintendent Williams' testimony was based upon the company's answer to the miners' demands. He was subjected to a rigid cross-examination by Attorney Darrow for the Miners' Unior, and was compelled to admit that, although thir- teen men were refused re-employment by the company for alleged criminal acts during the recent strike, he had no knowl- edge that any one of them had ever been gullty cf a criminal action. Miss Martin was a good witness for the | compa She told of the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Markle to properly care for the sick employes, and stated that where of necessity were discovered pa- tients were furnished with medicines and nourishing food free of charge. Frank Walk described the operations of the ‘‘credit,” or company store system. The prices of articles, he said, were about | the same as those charged by other deal- | ers, but he admitted that none other than “rrmpluyvs of the company were given | credit. He stated also that after the com- ’ pany store em had been abolished and he had resorted to the cash basis he lost two-thirds of his customers. P. K.

He was rescued last night shortly before mid- night by officers from the Sheriff's office and Police Department. i The man was suffering from ulcerated variccse veins and he was all but dead | | when succored. So intense had been his suffering that he had worn a deep hole in the mud where he had wallowed about | in misery. He was taken to the Receiv- | ing Hospital, where he was attended by the County Health Officer, Dr. Ladd. He was removed to the County Hospital this | afternoon. His recovery is doubtful. Dean is about 30 years of age. He | | stated_that he had been ill while in Sac- ramento, but had dbout recovered. Early this week he set out to walk to Stockton. His legs began to pain him and he was two or three days on the way. He says that the pain must have made him deliri- ous. When he came to his right senses he found himself on the bank of North- street canal, some distance from this city and unable to walk. That was on Friday afternoon. He had no blankets and no | | food. He shouted for help, but was un- | | able to make himself heard. He lay there all that night suffering agony. He was | & % unconseious part of Saturday.
