Ono Interesting chupter In tho sum mary Is that in tho conditions of llfo. tho commission finds that tho conten tion la not fully Justified that the wages paid are insufficlout to maintain tho American stnndnrd of living. Dur ing tho last 20 years thoro litis, been n steady Improvement in tho minora' homes. Tho social conditions are good, nnd the percentage of churches above the average. Tho wages of the anthracite minors aro not lower than those paid tho bituminous miners, and tho avorago dally rate of earnings compares favorably with other Indus trios requiring equal skill and train ing. Tho annual earning of tho con tract minor is between GG0 nnd ?C0O a yenr. Mining should, howovor, bo classed as a dangorouB industry, ranking with tho most hazardous.

It says the blacklist Is equally bad, and Bhould be frowned down by honorable men. It condemns tho prac tice of employing deputies, upon re quest, and at the expense o employ ers. It Irritates tho men, secures the services of unprincipled men, nnfl is against tho doctrine that tho county and state officers nro ubundantly able to preserve peace, and protect proper ty. The employment of coal nnd Iron police Is unwise. Tho commission can't Bee any. way to recommend com pulsory arbitration. It docs believe, however, tho stato and federal govern menu should provldo mnchlnery for whnt may bo called compulsory Inves tigation of controversies when thuy arise. Inferentlally It condemns tho operntors for not agreeing to arbitra tion when they first decided tliey could see no wny to make conces alone. REAL ESTATE MEN KICK Immigration Agents Demand -- -- 4liv f til-rn Claim if Agents are Not Paid by Railroad they Should Be Albany Herald. March 21st: Several Hnrrlman immigration ngeuts, and others in tho employ of trnnscontlnontnls railroad companlos are nttomptlng to work a "skin" gnmo on tho Oregon ronl estate men, nnd on Intending sottlora.

Doth parties to tho contract havo compiled with It, ho far oh known, but now tho Imml- gratlon agents, who aro paid a regular Balary by tho railroad companies, de mand one-half of all commissions col lected by, tho rent ostnto men, or threaton to place tho intending sot' tors in othor towns. A few wpeks ago a real ostnte exchange was organized in this city through tho efforts of the same Immigration agents, and it now transpires that their motive in per fecting thnt organization was to cen tralize tho real estate business, so Uiat it would be easier to denl with ono central body in collecting tbolr part of tho commission; Instead of watching a number of Arms. Whether the railroad company Is a partner to this scheme Is unknown, but wo think not.

If the rail road companies should now attempt to exact additional money from tho settlers and real estate men' It would bo Just causo for retaliation.

Tho Albany real estato mon will resent this undue Interior- enco in their business, and will tako up the mattor with tho head officials of the Iiarrimaa linos. Seven Were Drowned.
