OPERATOR AS AWITNESS Scranton, Dec. most interesting testimony brought out at yesterday's session of the coal strike commission -svas to the effect that an alleged attempt had been made by a former mine foreman to bribe two presidents of a local miners' union to have resolution passed sending the men to work, thus making a serious break iu the solid ranks of the strikers. Each of the presidents was to receive.52.500 cash down and a good position as mine foreman and each of ten men who were to aid the officials was to get from $100 to $200. The company which made this offer was not mentioned and none of the lawyers cross-examined the witness.

John Early, a check weighman employed at the Gypsy Grove colliery of the Erie company, who was president of the Gypsy Grove local union, was the witness who gave.this sensational testimony. He said he was introduced to Michael Grimes, a former mine foreman, in the Lackawanna Valley hotel at Scranton. In the. course of conversation. Grimes asked him how he stood in politics.

After Grimes made the 31,000 proposition he "was quoted as having said: "How about the strike? Don't you think the men are -weakening?" to "which Early stated he replied that he did think they were wavering just a little. Grimes then told him that he knew a "break was coming in the ranks of the men and tbat they would be defeated. Grimes recognized that the men had grievances and that, they had put tip a good right, but that as long as they were going to be defeated by the operators Early ought, to get something out -of it.

If Early could get ten men to have a resolution passed by his local union Grimes would give nine of them SI 00 each, the tenth man $200 and Early 52.500 and all expenses necessary to carry out the scheme. He further added that Early need not apply for work for three months and that he then would be given a foreman's position.

Crawford, a prominent independent operator and president of the People's Coal company, which operates the Oxford colliery at Scranton.

Lawyer Darrow, when objections were made by the operators' attorneys to his questioning Crawford about the company's profits, said the witness was called to show that the coal companies were able to pay the advance in wages asked for. Darrow sought to have Crawford tell the price he received for coal, but the witness would not give the information. He said he sold coal to the Lackawanna company and received about 65 per cent of what the Lacltawanna got for it. The colliery produced about 1 000 tons per day, and he estimated he received about $2.50 per ton, Crawford said that during the latter part of the strike his colliery was in operation and he got $20 a ton for coal. Chairman Gray here stopped tho examination, saying the high prices during, the strike were not pertinent to the inquiry.

The miners called several witnesses, who told of conditions in the collieries of Pardee in the Hazleton region. Darrow here announced the miners expect to close their case this week, enopgh to open up a territory which is and gave notice to the other side to be Six cars of a train carrying pilgrims rolled down an embankment, in Mexico.
