Coal Strike Commission Decide for Afln
cra-Hepori With President.
Washington, March SO, Memlxtrs
of the Coal Htrlku Arbitration commis
sion, appointed by President Itoowvolt,
have filed with tho president unani
mous recommendations and n final re
port. Although the commission's re
port will not bo mado public until to
morrow, enough Is kniiwft of Its recom
mendations to permit a review of tho
materia! features.
Not outv Is an Increase of 10 per cent
In viages granted In tha miners, hut
new regulations In weighing coal, It Is
said, will roallv mako tho increaso
much larger, as the- will preclude inon
from being compelled to mine more
than n ton to got pay only for n ton,
as at proi-cnt.
Another point decided by tho com
mission Is that tho mlnooperutnrsmust
fix tho day's work at eight hours for
every minor.
Tho minors also gain another point
of their contention lu being recognised
with checker of tholr own for coal ns
mined, -fly the system of dockage
thu miners asnirt tho oorators hereto
fore havo overburdened thn workmen
with rebate, which materially re
duced their actual income.
Ho tho real issue raised by.tho miners
when they went on strike is grantod by
tho romm'ssion. Iass work, morn pay
and less Interference on tho part of tlio
mining oxrtors Hims up this feature
of the commission'! report.
Tho report also contains a provision,
It Is said, for the settlement of all fu
ture trouble between minors and
operator by adjudication by a commit
teo of tho two parties to the contro
versy, lly this provision, It Is under
stood, the Miners' union Is directly re
coguUod, and this again Is regarded as
a victory for President Mitchell and
organlrci labor. Tho commissioners
condemn tho lioycott.
