Plans of arbiters map work of strike commission
The anthracite strike commission held its first hearing in Washington with operators and miners present. It agreed to begin investigations next Thursday, starting with mine and miner home visits near Scranton, and discussed using expert accountants to audit wage statements. Mr Mitchell read the miners declaration demanding wage increases, shorter hours, weight-based pay, and a wage agreement. Baer objected to Mitchell as miners representative, and the panel debated whether company payroll data should be verified by experts.
