The locations of a great number of stratigraphic sections, especially detailed as to eoal and measured in the course of the field examination, are e also shown. The sections measured are now being prepared for reproduction as a supplement to the map. 'A few eopies issued in six sheets are available in the offices of the geological survey in Washington, D.

With the completion by John L, is, the president of the United Mine Workers, of his analysis of the ills besetting the bituminous industry, the senate committee investigating the situation was presented yesterday with a defense of the Pittsburg Coal company against charges springing from its dash with the union. C. E. Lesher, executive vice president of that company, appeared as the first of the numerous operators, and their representative subpoenaed for the inquiry at the instance of the United Mine Workers. Lewis had just described the Pittsburg Coal as a Mellon concern, and Senator "Wheeler of Montana sought immediately to4; obtain from Lesher the names of stockholders of his organization. Lesher said be did not have such information, but assured the committee that it would be forthcoming from other sources. At the instance of Oliver K. Eaton, attorney for the union, the company officer outlined his administrative duties and briefly traced the history and He said aoope of his organization. that a forms 1 statement of its side of the ease would be submitted later. Senator Wagner of New York asked Lesher for statistics on past earnings nf the Pittsburg concern, but the witness pleaded qnfamiliarity with those aletails. Eaton then informed the committee that he hud the figures aud later he asked the eonqmny officer whether the earnings were not 000,000 in 1017, $9,000,000 in 1018 and $4,500,000 in 1910. Ijeslier said be could not answer. Wheeler asked if Lewis knew what motivated that policy on the part of the Pittsburg, and Lewis recounted his meeting id 1025 with W. G.

PRESIDENT OF CONCERN GETS DRILLING, SATURDAY D. C.,' March WASHINGTON, Jacksonville wage agreement was Tespcrted as legally and morally binding by the Pennsylvania Coal and 'Coke corporation, John W. Searls, the president of the organization, testified today before the senate committee "investigating the bituminous situation. "Searls, a resident of West Orange, N.

Senator Wheeler of Montana questioned the operator on the cost of production and the sales price to railroads, aparently with a view toward developing the charges by John I Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, that the railroads conspired through manipulation of large purchasing jsiwer, to lessen fuel prices by depressing miners wages.

Both operators entered the statis ties requested by the commitee concerning the average eost of production and the average price received from eoal sales to railroads yearly sineo 1919. The resolution of Senator Johnson, under which the investigation is being conducted, specified that an effort should be made to ascertain whether the railroad companies and their officiate have been or are, by agreement or otherwise, endeavoring to depress the Ulmr eost of coal production by union mine labor. Searles said that his company had observed the Jacksonville wage agreement until its termination and agreed with Senator Wheeler that the instrument carried a legal and moral obligation for its observance. Wage reduction as a solution of the eoal problem was criticized by Wheolcr, who questioned Searles concerning the fight for markets between the West Virginia and Pennsylvania fields. He contended that the answer was not in reducing the miners' eonqiensation in one field to a figure paid in rival recently paid $1.90 a ton to his representing an approximate cents loss on the coal of ton to the eonqtany. per He denied, however, that this accounted for his eomimny listing money for the past four years.

UTAH non-unio- WASHINGTON, D. C March 10. Economical factors in the struggle between the operators and union miners were shunted aside momentarily today before the senate committee ipvesti-gatin- g the bituminous situation, while a mother of eight children nestling the youngest in her arms testified that her husband had been discharged by the Pittsbuig Coal company because she had talked too much to the senate which recently inspected that area. Shrinking into her chair, Mrs. Eva Barr declared that she had been rebuffed at the store of the company when seeking to obtain shoes for her children that had He aaid if he give me shoes, none. he stojvs eata on me, she continued. We got to have eats. The appearance of Mrs. Barr and her husband, Charles Barr, led to a clash between the committee and Horace Baker, the president of the Pittsburg Terminal Coal eorxration because the attorneys for the latter were not present. He exchanged sharp words with Senator Wheeler, and insisted that the eouple be kept here until Monday for examination by operators representatives. Officials of the eoal concern had previously denied that Barr was discharged because of the testimony hie wife Sengave the senate ator Gooding noted that an announcement of the calling of Barr was made while C. E. Lesher, the executive viee president of the Pittsburg Coal, was on the stand, and he refused to detain the eouple. She has seven children waiting for her at home, he told Baker. Previously the charges by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, that railroads dealing with the bituminous mines were in conspiracy to deflate wages and eoal prices were denied by oierators to the extent of their knowledge and so far as their firms were concerned. This phase of the inquiry, discussed in technical terms throughout the ernes examination, apparently interested only a relatively few in the crowded committee room, but a quiekning of attention was noticed when the miner, Barr, garbed in a frayed blue sweater, took the stand. Proceeding haltingly the man eaid he had been notified to visit the office of Robert Baughman, superintendent of the Somers mine of the llttsburg Coal at Priredale, Pa., soon had after the senate The boss told me left that region. to get out and stay out, he added, because my wife bad talked too much. Barr said that Dan Chew, the outside boss, had followed him out of the office and told him he could stay on nntil he found a house, and that he had worked since. About a week later, he continued, Baughman met him and said hed gotten kind of qwly at first anu to keep quiet about it. R. L. Wildcrmuth, Columbus, O., general manager of the Lorain Coal and Dork company, and John W. Searles, West Orangv, N. J., president of the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke eomimny, defended the railroads as customers and denied knowledge of any agreements between their purchasing agents and mine oierators concerning the miners' wage scale. Their testimony ran directly counter to Hut of Lewis, whose charges against the oNrators and the railroads form the thread of the inquiry. Wildennuth declared flatly that better prices were obtained as a rule from the railroads than from customers of less industrial Office Phone 81 1 Residence 177 Bilvagni Bldg.. Price, Utah. ANDREW W.

Mrs. Eva Barr of Pricedale, Pa., who apearcd before the senate investigating committee yesterday, told the that her eight children were generally in rags, because the $4.08 a day earned by her husband in the Pittsburg Coal mines all went for fowl.
