ARBITRATION COMMISSION.
Ito Tour Of Observation In the Anthracite
Coal Region Ended and the Members
Take . Short Recess.

Mahonoy City, Pa, Nov. 6.-The an
thracite strike commission ended its
tour Of observation of the coal fields
in the Panther creek valley yester-
day and the members Of the party
will return to their homes to-day
and will meet again at Scranton on
November IA to take the testimony
Of the miners. The biggest days
work Of the entire trip was coon
plished when the commissioners
made a complete inspection of two
large collieries and a tour of the
region lying between Mount Carmel
and this city. Six working days have
been consumed in travelling from
place to place in the anthracite coal
regions and the arbitrators feel they
are now qualified to sit in Judgment
on the controversy between the mino
owners and their employees. The
commissioners have gained a knowl-
edge of mining in its many different
features that will be of the greatest
assistance to them. They will be able
to understand questions and ask
questions where they would not have
been able to understand them If they
had not been underground.
