The action Of tho commission In taking
this step at this time will save the COM
missioners lot OF time. It is known
that each side to the controversy would
take determined stand on the question
OF when the new rate of wages. IL one is
made. shall go into effect.
The operators in this original prcpcsi-
ton TO President Roosevelt wanted the
commission to fix the date. The miners
wanted the prospective new rate to be re-
troactive and go into effect on the day
when the miners returned to work which
was a week ago yesterday. Oct. g.
President Mitchell. who was here over
night left for Wilkesbarre today before
the announcement was made. 1t Is not
known here what he thinks OF the COM
missionons action.
COMMISSIONS wOR KToDAY.
The program of the commission for to-
day calls for an inspection of the Man
Vile colliery at Green Ridge, two miles
from this city and a drive through the
nearby territory for the purpose Of view
ing the habitations of the men who toll
I'm the mines. The commissioners expect
to complete their inspection OF this re-
gion this afternoon and SO TO Wilkes
Ddrre tomorrow morning.
The members OF the party were up tarly
today. They left their hotel soon after
the arrival OF Commissioner Watkins,
whose home is In this city. Mr.. Watkins.
owing To his Intimate knowledge OF min
ing in this region is the guiding spirit OF
the party. He ARRANGED yesterdays trip
and has general charge of todays tour.
In this he is assisted by the superinten-
vicinity and also by President Nichols
OF District No. of the miners union.
BAD FOR THE MINERS.
The Manville mine which was inspected
today Is operated Jointly by the Della
ware and Hudson and the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western. The mine Is
one OF the worst for miners I'm this ter
Is barely room enough for workmen TO
stand up. This collier. was visited at
the suggestion OF the mine workers rep
reSentatives.
The arbitrators had an interesting day
yesterday and returned 10 their hotel
last night, grimy from coal dust and tired
after eight busy hours OF observation and
Investigation. The trip was quite nov
city TO the party. some OF whom had new
er been IN the hard coal regions.
The commissioners displayed the great
est interest I'm every feature OF coal min
ing, and went about their work in n man
ner that was pleasing 60 both the mining
superintendents and the representatives
OF the mine workers who accompanied the
commissioners.
The seven arbitrators had 20 endure
many discomforts. make their way
through wet places IN the mines. almost
crawl along some Of the gangways in the
workings. and pass through clouds of coal
dust In the breakers. Notwithstanding
this. their cagerness for Information was
not diminished and they expect 10 put IN
another hard days work today In this
vicinity.
ASKED MANY QUESTIONS.
IL would be unfair 90 say that one COM
missioner displayed more interest than
another. but 10 can be truly said that
bishop spaidlng asked more questions

than any one OF the others. He was usu-
ally In the centre Of the group OF COM
missioners and asked many questions Of
those who are employed In and about the
mines.
All OF the commissioners are good lis
teners but poor takers, when It comes to
getting an expression from them Of any
feature OF the mining business. BY their
actions today IL is certain they have
agreed not 10 say one word OF what they
think of any question that will come be-
fore them.
Several persons approached one or an
other of the commissioners during the day
merely for the purpose of having him say
what he thought OF the things he saw.
and In each case the inquirer was put
of.
The tour consisted of an inspection of
No. 2 mine OF the hillside Coal and Iron
company. operated by the Erie company.
and the Coal Brook breaker of the Dela-
ware and Hudson company. The former
| is located at Forest city, 22 mites north
OF this city. and the breaker at Carbon
dale. four miles south OF Forest City.
On the run up the Lackawanna val
ley the commissioners Viewed with IN
terest the several mining towns situated
along the Delaware and Hudson railroad.

wAR ON NEGROES IN ILLINOIS.

Of all states IN the union that are
Indifferent of the negro Illinois takes
the lead That state does not want
them and VIII not have them to any
great extent A few years ago when
m effort was made to land negro
iaborers in Illinois they were met
with Wjnchesters and the train was
forced to carry them on to ST. Louis.
And yet Chicago people abuse the
south for its treatment of the negro.
The following clipping shews how
the negro fares in Illinois:
'War is being waged by whitecaps
on the eolored residents of the city,
says telegram from EIdorado, and
general exodus of colOred people
has begun. The industrial college
founded by Prof. ]. d. Aston has
been forced to close and all teachers
and students compelled to leave the
city.
IA few nights ago band Of men
bombarded the college Sith guns and
stones and ordered Aston and the
entire colored population to leave.
This Injunction was obeyed.
Each night since that time the
houses of the colored citizens have
been attacked by mobs and stones
and guns used freely. The authori-
ties thus far have mad e.no arrests
and the few remaining colored peo-
| ple are in a state of terror"
Had this occurred in the south q
great huIlabaloo would have been
raised about 1t.
Human nature is tbs same in al
sections of our common country. The
white race will always predominant
because God intended it to do so
But if there were as many negroes ii
Illinois as there are in Mississippi
race riots would occur every day.
Southern people understand til,
negro and know how to manage him
As long rs he behaves himself and
keeps in his place he will be well
treated, and the sooner the NORTH
realizes the true situation Of affairs
the better it will be.
