AN INTERESTING REPORT
Issued by the Industrial Commission,
at Washington.

special 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON. d. c., October "a
The Industrial Commission has issued
report on immigration and the coal
miners. prepared by Prof John r.
Commons, of Oberlin College. This
report goes at some length into the
competition of the West Virginia coal
fields with other coal fields where la
Dor is organized. Ii is found that i'm
migration of foreigners plays a very
small part in the labor supply of the
Mountain State. West Virginia coal
miners are largely native whites and
negroes. In 1890 the foreign born
miners were on I3.4 per cent. of the to-
tai number as compared with ISL per
cent. in Pennsylvania, 57.4 per cent. in
Illinois and SIS per cent. in Ohio.
Colored miners number 20.9 per cent.
OF the total. Notwithstanding the use
of native labor in the mines wages are
80 to 20 per cent. lower in West Vir-
ginia than in other coal mining regions
where labor is organized. A cospari-
SON of wages is as follows: Track
layers, West Virginia, sl.25 to s1.35;
Pennsylvania Ohio. Indiana and Hi
nois, S22S Driver Wese Virginia,
81 to $3.50; other four states. $210.
Other inside labor-West Virginia. 81
to $l10: other four states, safe. Pick
mining. run Of mine, per ton. West yir-
ginia. Is to 22Is cents; Pennsylvania,
43 to 81; Ohio. 81 II; Indiana, AZ;
Illinois, 40.
Prof Commons. commenting on the
conditions in the West Virginia field
says:
The agreements and scale of wages
established in the interstate miners
conference are becoming more serious
ly jeopardized every year on account
of the competition of the unorganized
field of West Virginia. The signifi-
canoe of these considerations is two
fold; the miners of West Virginia are
mainly native Americans, who have
only recently turned from home in
dustry to mining. and the coal veins
are thick and the coal is abundant
and easily mined. These are the con-
ditions, rather than foreign immigra-
ton, which at the present time operate
as obstacles to the improvements of
miners wages in tie bituminous
fields"

more.
Some persons, who presumably Tvs
in New York, strongly opposed Mr..
Vanderbilt in his effort to employ MIR.
Harker, the law concerning foreign
contract labor being the ground OF OPP
position. These persons held that Mr..
Vanderbilt should not bring an orxanist
here from abroad under contract for
his services, and the effort 10 prevent
him from doing so was apparently de-
termined.
The servants on the $1,000 600 Van
derbit estate were approached by
secret agents of the opposition In the
hope Of learning the name Of the or
ganist and the day of his arrival. The
Rev. DR.. r. r. Swope, the rector Of An
Souls church, was asked to tell what
he knew of the matter, but he paid no
attention to the request.
The fact that Mr.. Vanderbilt con-
templated the importation Of an organ
list was some time ago brought to tho
attention of the immigration bureau at
Washington. Those who. az represent
atives of Mr.. Vanderbilt, negotiated
with Mr.. Harker kept the matter SO
quiet that the name of the new or
ganist was not known even to the MEM
bers of the choir until few lays ago
1t is stated on good authority mat
Mr. Vanderbilt will entertain the Chi

that the next consistory of the Catholic
church at Rome will be held in February
when Pope Leo XIII. attains the twenty
fifth year of his pontificate. While thera
have been no definite advices to this eff

vantage of it to deliver an allocution
taking strong position on the question a
assassination among other things.
Cardinal Martnelli will remain in office
here until about time for the consistory.
No authoritative word has yet reached
here regarding the successorship. In view
of his past experience. it is quite likely
that Cardinal Martinelli will be assigned
in Rome to the congregations Of the holy
Office known as 1.-The inquisition," which
watches the morals and discipline of the
church. and the propaganda. which deals
with the propagation Of the faith.
Cardinal Martinelli and two or thee Of

Rural Delivery Routes.

The neighboring towns of Apple

ting the question of rural mail deliv-
cry routes starting from their towns.
The pcstof6ce department requires
that proposed route shall be about
twenty five miles in length and that
there shall be at least 100 families
living on or near it. The advantages
of the system are obvious, as it per-
mits the farmers to receive his mail
daily and keep more in touch with
the outside world.
Morris shouldnot be behind the other
towns in this section in moving for
free delivery ronte, as it would be
possible to lay out several routes
around here that would meet the re-
quirements of the department.
Especially to the northeast and south
west of town are the mail facilities at
present very inconvenient.
