IF ANY AWARD SHALL BE MADE

WAGES.
May MAKE PRELIMINARY REPORT
THREE PRINCIPAL STRIKE CUES
TlONS WILL BE DISPOSED
OF FIRST.

Scranton, Pa. Nov. 1.-The first i'm.
portant action by the anthracite coal
strike commission, which is arbltrat-
ing the differences existing between
the miners and their employers was
taken yesterday when it was an
nounced by Carroll D. Wright, record
er of the commission. that II any
award affecting the existing rate OF
wages shall be made, the award shall
be effective from Nov. 1. 1t was fully
expected that this question would
come up before the arbitrators, but
the action of the commissioners shuts
off any possible controversy that eth
er side may have desired to raise.
The miners wanted the new scale, II
one Is made, to date from the time
they returned to work. but the ope-
rators left the matter to be decided by
the commission. The mineworkers
Are Perfectly Agreed,
however, with the decision of the COM
mission. The strike has been off only
one week, and most of the men have
not worked more than four or i've
days. The commissioners spent the
entire day in continuing their inspec'
ton of the mines and the mining re-

the evening.
1t is possible that the commission
may make preliminary report on
three principal strike questions. They
are the increase in wages, a shorter
work day and the weighing of coal.
After these have been decided the
commission can take up all other ques-
lions without undue haste. 1t is
known the commissioners have this
feature under consideration, and it is
very likely a preliminary report will
be made.
The commission has not yet decided
when it shall begin taking testimony.
Chairman Gray said yesterday it may
be nearly a week before the hearings
are begun.

FOUR MEN KILLED.
Overcome by Gas While Working in a
Sewer.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Nov. BY a
sudden rush of gas, supposed to have
been sulphurated hydrogen, four men
were killed and three seriously affect
ed near the Twenty-fourth street head
ing of the big tunnel trunk sewer last
night. The accident was a peculiar
one. Thirteen men, comprising the
entire second shift, were working on
the sewer. They had started head
ing at new level and had loaded up
blast which was to be discharged.
After loading they walked back about
225 feet, between the heading and the
shaft at Twenty-fourth street, but be-
fore they could reach the shaft four
of the men fell to the floor of the tun-
rel, over which considerable stream
of water was flowing. The others, be-
coming alarmed, pushed ahead to the
shaft. Foreman Mulroy was the first
to reach the surface, a distance of
fifty feet, and gave the alarm. George
Rhodes was ascending in the bucket
when he was overcome by the gas and
fell from the bucket to the bottom of
the shaft. He died from the result of
his injuries. Seven others succeeded
in getting out. Four men lay in the
tunnel. All are dead.
