TO MEET TOMORROW
STRIKE COMMISSION WILL FIRST
CALL ON THE PRESIDENT,
Arrival Of MI. Observation-Disclosures
With Secretary Root-The
Matter of Expenses.

Mr.. Thomas II. Watkins Of the commits
sion appointed to arbitrate the coal strike
called on the President today. Mr.. Watkins
came here to be present at the meeting of
the commission tomorrow
p Mr.. Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of
labor and Mr.. Walcott, director of the
geological survey, called on Secretary Root
together today, and although not acknowl-
edged. 1t is believed that they discussed
with the Secretary some of the details Of the
projected arbitra ton of the coal differences,
possibly with reference to the best plan of
procedure by the arbitration commission for
the development of the facts necessary TO,
determination of the issues
Will Call on the President.
The commissioners will meet at the
White House tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock. After a conference with the Presi-
oent they will adjourn to some other place
probably the Office of Mr. Carroll d. Wright
commissioner of labor, who is the recorder
OF the commission, for further meeting.
dt when they Will endeavor to organize and
map out their work. If the commission de-
cides to meet in Mr.. Wrighfs office, it will
nnd very comfortable quarters there His
office is in the building Of the National safe
deposit Company, corner of 18th street and
view YORK avenue. and, being a corner
.ooHl' LOOKS out on both of those thorough
fares.
The Expenses.
Inc commission as is well known, has no
money With which to pay any bills. The
commissioners, and also the force of clerks,
stenographers and typewrters it will re-
qulre, must all pay their own expenses and
Ioreso any compensation unless Congress,
When 1t meets in December, sees fit to make
an appropriation to cover those expenses
mere seems not the least doubt that Con-
gress viii look after the wants Of the com
mission as soon as 1T meets. It is possible
that before the work progresses much fur
tner some contingency fund In one of the
departments may be discovered which will
De available for this work.
How long the commission will remain in
this city Is problematical. 1t is probable
that they Will require but a few DAYS IN
order to map out the work in a way tina,
Will allow them to proceed to the coal
region to begin the investigation. Before
they leave the President will doubtless have
full understanding of their proposed
methods of procedure
While no one can yet predict what the
commission will do. it is believed that the
miners. who are practically in the position
of complainants In this dispute, win have
their case taken up first, after which the
operators side will be heard. Every pos
sible opportunity will be given to every
one desiring to be heard to tell the com
mission his story.
