EFFORTS AT ARBITRATION.
Commissioners Trying to Get ths
Miners and Operators Together.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 13-The arbitra-
ton commissioners representing five states
in which the miners are now striking, will
make a strong effort today to bring the
operators and miners to an understanding
that will result in arbitrating conciliat-
ing their differences.
The Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania COM
missioners were enforced today by those
from Illinois and West Virginia. The Illi-
nois members are Daniel J. Keefe, Edward
Ridselly and Horace r. Calof. 1. V. Bar
ton, labor statistician, is here to represent
West Virginia.
1t has not taken the members of the COM
nittee long to arrive at the conclusion that
their task is neither a pleasant nor easy
one. They find that while a majority of
the PittSburg operators and miners say
they favor arbitration. they are inclined
to resent outside interference, and believe
in fighting it out to a finish themselves.
w. p DeArmitt, president of the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company,
consented to appear before the board this
afternoon. and explained his position.
While Mr. DeArmitt has said that he has
nothing to arbitrate-

tee no satisfaction beyond the indication
that they were receiving better pay than
the others were striking for. This wcrd
was passed along the lines and the miners

were only drop in the bucket as against
the balance Of 1905 shares. Mr. Bartnett
accordingly could do no more than protest
against the course of proceedings.
Chairman George Stone said that so far
as the affairs OF the bank were concerned
the past year had been one Of general dis

been small, and consequently sales had
been few. Many lawsuits had been begun,
and it was found expedient in many cases

National Prison Association Will Meei
i'm the Great Convention City.

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 4.-The National
Prison Association to-day decided that it
would hold its next annual meeting in In
dianapols. The most important business
of the morning session was the submission
of the report of the committee on criminal
law reform The report stated that the
progress of crime was something frightful,
and recommends that it should be most
successfully checked by the following
changes in the handling Of the criminals
of the world: Greater security CT punish
ment, doing away with all technicalities in
trials; adjustment of juries making con-
viction more summary and trial more
speedy; depriving defendants of the rights
to appeal to a higher court; offering re-
wards for the discovery and conviction or
criminals; sterilization of detectives, both
moral and physical; adjustment of poverty
removing or restricting the power to par
don; prohibiting the use OF Intoxicating
liquors; reconstruction of the ethical code
of lawyers; curing inherent defects in the
law as distinguished from its enforcement;
developing a scientific motherhood; state
regulation of marriage; restricting immi-
grafton; popular education and colonization
of criminals; the reformation of criminals
by the abolition of the definite sentence
The committee states that some of its sug-
gcstions are practically impossible at pres
ent, but if followed as closely as possible
the morals of the country will be greatly
improved and crime be correSpondingly de-
creased.
The wardens elected the following officers
Wolfer, of Minnesota; first vice president,
Philip H. Dorm, of Cleveland: second wee
president, Walter N. Thayer of New York;
third vice president, c. p. Hoyt, of Colo
RADIO; secretary, Il. B. Patton, of Pennsyl-
vania.
At the afternoon session the reports of
the committees on preventive and reforma-
discharged prisoners, were read. A discus
sion was had on the condition of some of
the prisoners in the Indian Territory and
it was stated many Of them were in the
most wretched condition imaginable. being
full of vermin of all kinds and filthy be-
yond expression. A committee was APP
pointed to investigate the various labor de-
vices employed in all the state penitentiar-
les with view to getting a census of opln-
ion as to the best labor to be employed. 1t
is to report at next Years assembly.

for foreign affairs Count Goluchowski; the
Austrian premier, Baron Won Gautsch Won

Baron Banffy. The latter on Monday next
will submit to the lower House of the Hun
garian Diet, at Buda-Pesth, provisional en-
actmentS maitaining the status quo in Aus

garian Bank and the commercial policy of
the empire.
AT Tabor, Bohemia, last evening, the
CzechS attacked the houses of the Hebrews
and broke the windows of the synagogue.
Five of the rioters were arrested. The To-
cal force of gendarmes was reinforced this
morning and the military were called on
to assist in restoring order. A mob of over
one thousand persons at Braunau last
evening attacked the houses of the CZechS
and in spite of the efforts of the gendarmes
and regular police smashed windows and
did other damage. Quiet was not restored
until midnight. In Prague a military patrol
was fired on from a house on Brenne-
strasse. None of the patrol was wounded.
There have been no outbreaks of violence
In Prague to-day and complete tranquility
now prevails. A search was made to-day of
the house on the Brennettgrasse, from
which a military patrol was fired on last
night. The search resulted in the discovery
of a number of revOlvers, which were seized,
and the arrest of three persons. SiXty-Seven
persons were taken into custody last evening
on suspicion of being concerned in the dis
orders which have taken place here recently

Of the sufferings and sacrifices which the
quarrel has already imposed on our fellow
laborers could have induced US to submit
proposals of such humiliating character
for consideration"
The above is an admission of the fact al
ready known that the strikers are reduced
to pitiful plight. Briefly, the employers
propositions acknowledge the workmen's
freedom TO join unions, but they won't
promise not to give preference to
nonunionists. and they claim COM
plete liberty to put men on
piece work to work at machines to learn
new methods. To the efficient they guar
antee wages equal to the current rate; but
the employees will not guarantee a standard
rate. Efficiency is to be decided by the
employers, who may engage nonefficients
at lower wages. In addition, they insist
upon the right to employ as many appren-
tees as they please The all-pervading idea
IS 10 substitute individual bargaining for the
collective principles of the unions The bal
lots OF the unions are returnable on Dec. b.
but the general opinion is that the en-
ployers conditions will be rejected over
whelmingly, in which case it is almost need
less to point out. distress Is confronting
hundreds OF thousands this winter, which
promises to be unusually severe
The whole aspect of the industrial world
here is most depressing. In addition to the
engineering troubles, the Amalgamated So
ciety of Railway Servants has issued strike
notices TO 10000 of its members, and the
cotton industry is also threatened with
paralysis The contending factions are adj
amant, the men utterly refusing to arbi-
trate.
