DENVER, July 19.- The subcommittee on mines of the United States Industrial Committee closed its labors here today and will leave this evening for Wallace, Idaho, to investigate the Coeur d'Alene trouble.
Ex-United States Senator N. P. Hill, manager of the Boston & Colorado Smelter, one of the anti-trust concerns, was the only witness today. Senator Hill declared his strong opposition to trusts of all kinds. He thought they were detrimental to the public welfare, but could not see how they could be eliminated by law. He said he favored labor organizations as a means of maintaining wages. He opposed an eight-hour law, and declared that the men in his smelters preferred the ten and twelve hour system.
