At Williamson’s Scranton, Pa., Dec. 11.—Lawyers for the miners sprung a surprise on the companies at the opening of today's proceedings by calling to the witnes. stand J. L. Crawford, one of the lnde pendent operators. He is piesiden! of the People's Coal company, which operates the Oxford colliery at Seran ton. Mr. Crawford, '.'ho has l>een at tending the session each day, was sui prised to be called and he remarked as he took the stand: "Tills Is a new turn of afTairs.” "When did you ship coal last?" ask ed--Mr. Dai row. “Yestei day.” "What are you getting for 11.?” "I don't know exactly." "Can you come near it?” "I can if 1 want to." ■‘Don’t you wan* to?" "No sir." "You nre a party to this commission and went to New Yolk to see the coal operators?" "Yc-s sir.” "Then you refuse to give this com mission that information?" “I don’t think I am compelled to tell." "Which road do you sell to?" "Delaware, Lackawanna and West eia.” "What do you get for it?” "About U5 per cent ot what the Del aware. Lackawanna and Western gets for It” At this point attorneys for the opor ators objected to the inquiry proceed ing any further along the lines what a company's profits were. Mr. Itairow said he called the wit ness to show that the coal companies were aide to pay the advance In wages ashed for. Wayne MacVeagh In his cr< ss exam ination of Mr. Mitchell, he said, inti mated! that the increase, if granted would-ultimately be placed on the "bowed backs of the juror." and he wanted to show that the companies were well able to give the imreasi asked for without putting it on tin- poor. Mr. narrow then continued the ex amination. "How many tons do you produce a day?" you don't know tow much’you get for it?" • , “I can give an estimate.” "Well, what is it?" . “About *2.50 a ton " On further examination Mr. Craw ford said that during the latter part of the strike when his colliery was In operation he got *20 a ton for his coal Chairman Cray here stojijted the ex amination. saying that the excejitlonal ly high price during the str ke were not pertinent to the Inquiry. The miners’ lawyers caller several witnesses who told of conditions at the collieries of the A. Pardee company. In the Hazelton region. One of the Wit nesses was a boy who said he lost a leg In the mines, received nothing foi its loss, but lnetead when re returned to work, the company took of? hie wages his father's debts Mr. DaiTow here announced that the miners expect to close their case this week, and now gave notlve for the other side to be ready next week. The companies’ attorneys said they desired a recess for a short time after the miners’ close to complete -he prep aratlons of their case.

NEW OPERA HOUSE “J; 15th. opvudf Return Engagement ' *?'' -W/7: ~~- w < ft «f ~ 'ii r 1 I MISS FLORENCE SMYTH and Mr. Howard Kyle and his compan ion p ayers will present it at the new opera house Monday night. The play Is said to be in its nathor’s best vein, some have said it was the best of all his plays. It is of an important oharaoter, free from the* customary friction of action of a morbid sensation ■ a ism. It has genuine humor and pathos pitched in the right key and its com- pactness is admirable. Net only is the interest uniformly snstained but it springs naturally out of the action and not from enforci <1 encounters and out astrophies such as so many forcible- feeble dramatists rely upon. The play is so sound and good that it is a pleasure to recall its continue n. suc cess siuce its original production three years ago. In the prinoipal cities through out the continent, local managers have >een vehement in their desire for return ’nR&gpments; many such have been ilayed and have never failed to meet with a thronged attendance, so we are assured. Miss .Florence Smyth, who was every where received with enthusiasm for her jerformance of Alice Adams, continues u the role.
