DECISION BY UNANiMOUS- VOTE Arbitrator Have Under Considera tion the Issuance of a Preliminary Report Covering the Three Most Important Issues. SCRANTON. Pa., Oct. 31 The first !m portant action of the Anthracite Coal Btrlke Commission, which Is arbitrating the differences existing between the min ers and their employers, was taken to day -when it was announced by Carroll D Wright, the recorder of the commission, that If any award affecting the existing rate of wages should be made, the award shall be effective from November 1. It was lully expected that this question would come up before the arbitrators, but the action o today shuic any pos sible controversy that fit. - side may have desired to raise. The miners want ed the new scale, if one is made, to date from the time they returned to work, but the operators left the matter to be de- elded by the commission, ine mineworK- ers are perfectly satisfied, however, with the decision 01 tne commission, xne strute has been off nearly one week, and most of the men have not worked more than four r five days. The announcement of the commission was contained in the fol lowing' resolution: "Vote unanimous that if the commission at the conclusion of lis hearings and de liberations makes am' award affecting rates of wages, such award shall take effect from November 1, 1502." It is possible that the commission may make a preliminary report on three prin dpal strike questions. They are the In crease In wages, a shcrter workday, and the weighing, of coal. After these have been decided, the conmissin can take up all other questions without undue haste. It is known that the commissioners have fills feature uitfer consideration, and it is -probable a preliminary report will be made. More Mines Inspected. The tommissioners spent the entire day in continuing their Inspection of the mines and tht mli.ing region about Scranton. They v sited the Manrille Colliery, oper ated jo itly by the Delaware & Hudson and tht Delaware, Lackawanna & West ern Co: lpanies in the forenoon, and the afternj n was spent .n, riding through v&ewaC&vtn on a specie trolley cat. The commissic n will spend Saturday In-, the vicinity 6: ' Wllkesbarre, returning, here in the evenir g. The cor lmissloners were underground today for two hours . and a half. The party cons isted of 13 .persons, and includ ed six commissioners, the two assistant recorders, j General Surerlntendent Rose, of. the Delaware & Hudson Company; General Superintendent Phillips, of the Delaware, (Lackawanna & Western Com pany; District President Nicholls, of the Miners Union; a miner employed In the Manvllle mine, and one newspaper cor respondent, who represented the other newfcgatherers. The party which visit ed the mines yesterday was too large and for this reason the number of persons permitted In the mine at one time was cut down. Recorder Wright did not ac company the party, owing to pressure of work in connection with the investiga tion. The arbitrators Inspected practically the entire underground workings. They asked numerous questions of all men they en countered in the gangways or chambers, end did not seem to mind the discomfort of the trip. The Manville is said to be one of the worst mines in this region, frGm the ifiners' standpoint. The veins of coal are not more, than three feet thick, and the miner has a more difficult ime In getting the coal out than where the vein Is thicker. The commissioners walked several miles through the gang ways, and owing to the exceedingly low roof, they had to do their tramping usual ly In a stooping position. After the ar bitrators had been In the workings an hour. Judge Gray decided that his back ached enough, and he came to the sur face accompanied by Bishop Spalding. Three Chambers Inspected. 1 Altogether the commissioners inspect ed three chambers, where miners were at work at the face -of the breasts blasting coal. T'le first- breast visited was 2000 feet from the foot of the shaft. There the Investigators found a miner and his helper at wotIc General " Wilson and Messrs. JLark and Parker crawled into the. Jlitce-f oot opening out of which the 5al was being taken. The miner was !tked how much he made a day; how many cars of coal he was able to get out; how many hours he worked; what he, paid his helper; how much he made per month before tho strike, and numerous other questions that might give the com missioners an idea of how to proceed, i The visitors were then taken 4000 feet In another direction, where a miner was working in an accumulation of water. This miner was questioned principally re garding the water. He told of how he takes It out every morning before doing any mining, and also told the commis sioners what compensation he received for doing it He called attention to the loose rock overhead which made bad roofing, it often falling and compelling him to spend considerable time In im proving conditions about the breast. In reply to a question as to how much he got for removing the rock, he said: "We take it out for the .good of our souls." After the commissioners, superinten dents and miners' representatives had asked innumerable questions, the party Journeyed up a plane or tunnel to the second vein, which measures two feet four Inches to two feet 10 Inches in thickness. . At the end of one of the chambers of this seam of coal, the arbi trators were shown how the miners drill a hole In the narrow space. The visitors then returned to the surface. Complaint by Superintendent. On the waV to the first breast, Imme diately after being lowered to the bottom of the shaft, which is about 213 feet from the surface. Superintendent Rose called the commissioners attention to a train of mine cars filled with coal. The rules of the company require that there must be six Inches of topping on each car. The ars exhibited were filled only to the top dge of the sides. In commenting on this to the commissioners, Mr. Rose said & was a "sample of how the company irnpsrscd upon by some of the men." --ter luncheon at their hotel, the com- Sah Coats Serviceable, warm, little garments, very suitable for school wear, in all-wcol serges, the new Angora goods, also Meltons.

Repuljlicnn Ofllclal of Clevelnnd Is AMsmulted DurliiR a Political Mcetlns o ArrcstH Yet. CLEVELAND, Oct. 31. A sensation oc curred during a political meeting in the public square today, in which Mayor Tom Li. Johnson struck William Mylcralne. a Republican tax board official, in the face with his fist. It seems, according to the statement of bystariders, that the Mayor overheard Mylcraine assert that he (John son) was a liar. A few hot words fol lowed, and then the Mayor struck Myl craine In the face. Mylcraine left the square, declaring he would secure a war rant for the Mayor's arrest. Mayor John son, in explaining his side of the ques- I tion, is quoted as saying: "We were talking about the assessment in the Thirty-second Ward. Mylcraine had repeated twice that 'Mayor Johnson lies,' and I walked over to him to ex plain that there must be some error in the papera. I intended to give him a chance to retract, but he would not let me, declaring to my face that I was a liar. I then hit him. It was only a tap. I'm not certain that) my hand touched . him. I only intended slapping his face." Up to a late hour tonight Mylcraine had PRESIDENT OFF FOR A HUNT Roosevelt Leaves WnxlilRton to Shoot Quail in Virginia. WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.
