THE COMMISSION AND ITS WORK
1t is reassuring to learn that the
Strike Arbitration Commission has
not abandoned its labOrs and left the
matter of settlement of disputes TO
the operators and miners. Such an
impression had evidently taken pos
session Of the minds OF the people.
and they were not fain to regard the
change in any very cheerful light
That the miners and operators
should privately settle their troubles
would be against the interests of
every citizen of this land. lie would
mean an uncertainty as to the future.
and upon the people generally would
be left a feeling of decided uneasineSs
What guarantee would the consumer
have that a private agrC ement
reached between the two parties to
the recent strike would nOtina short
time be violated? None whatever
However, it is fair TO presume that
the great questions once settled by the
Commission will remain settled for a
long time at least since the resump-
ton of hOstilities on either side
would result in bringing down upon
that side the unanimous disapproval
of the public, and public sentiment in
this country goes a long way to-
wards solving even industrial prob
lens. This fact was clearly demon
strated during the last strike and the
Commission is the happy result. it
seems that the arbitrator have sim
ply adjourned until December Bird
and have in the meantime appointed
"A subcommittee to represent at any
and all meetings between employee
and employer so that all agreements
reached can Toe reported in .ull 70
tie Commission upon reassembling
Thus, while this body is relieved OF
great deal OF detail work in solving
the various questions in dispute, it
Reserves the right TO pass upon all
agreements entered into between the
two parties and ratify or not as its
members see fit. In other words the
Commission will give its verdict to
the country, and any agreement
reached will be with the consent and
approval of that body. This is "a il
should be and the consumer is look
ing to these gentlemen appointed by
Mr. Roosevelt to arrive at such an
equitable settlement as to make re-
mote the chance of another such
strike as the one lust terminated.

As TO STATE TANES.

1t seems to US that a special tax Of five
cents on the hundred dollars would be
exceedingly heavy on the people Of Nir-
ginia at this time, even for so laudR5ie a
purpose as the care Of Confederate Nete-
rams who are in need. Five cents is the
extreme limit of taxation permitted by
the Constitution for this purpose. The
Landmark believes that the State should
do what il can for tie veterans, but
might il not be advisable for the General
Assembly to consider starting with "A
lower rate The average citizen is find
ing the cost OF living mnch increased
during the past few years.-NoriOlk
Landmark
Without taking issue with our able
contemporary, whose Judgment W.
always respect, we would like to ask
why The Landmark thinks this tax
of five cents would fall heavily on the
people. True we realize that all tax
es have that tendency, but in view OF
the general prosperity of the people
OF Virginia, and in view of the fact
that the State tax was reduced
ten cents by the Constitutional Con
ventlon, we see no reason why this
not unexpected tax OF five cents
should be burdensome We disre-
member whether OF not The Land
mark advocated or opposed the re-
duction in the State tax rate, but
Judge from the above remarks that
our contemporary approved at the
time the action of the convention.
However, should it be found neces.
sary to levy this additional tax the
people will still save five cents on
every hundred dollars as a result Of
the conventions action.
