Of- Philadelphia, Jan. 10.—The cases of the coal carrying companies were opened this morning before the anthracite strike commission. In accordance with the plan outlined yesterday, the Delaware and Hudson Co. was heard first. In behalf of the company, Attorney Torrey, of Scranton, presented a lengthy statement, setting forth what his company proposed showing. He promised to prove that the miners were paid more liberally than workers at any other manual employment requiring so little special training or skill, the expenditure of so little physical energy, exposure to so little risk of health and life, and occupation for so small a portion of the working day. "Mining," he contended, "is not hazardous, and Is more than ordinarily healthful." "We shall," he added, "submit statements which show that even during the period when coal is most in demand and the collieries operated to the limit of their capacity, breakers are operated on an average of less than' eight hours a day, partly for reasons due to voluntary action of the men and partly for reasons beyond the control of either the company or men. All of the reasons for a reduction of hours, based upon the the health, comfort or well-being of the men. are eliminated by,, the fact just stated." Torrey claimed that nocomplaint as to the Delaware & Hudson's method of weighing coal had ever been made by the employes directly to the company. He accused the officers and agents of the Mine Workers of creating hostility, dissension and unrest, and alleged that "In many Instances, to further designs of the organization, the efficiency and productive capacity of the men voluntarily diminished." Following the reading of the statement, witnesses were called on behalf of the company. fer to Help Them.
