BEFORE THE STRIKE COMMISSION

BEFORE THE STRIKE COMMISSION
President Mitchellis under a steady
fire, not a coal fire. but from about
- lawyers, employed 10y the mine
operators, led by the most astute
and able of the lot, Wayne MacVeagh.
But Mitchell Is equal TO the occasion:
the fact is the Miners Union has a
fearless and able leader in Mitchell:
the most successful, because cOnser-
vative, leader of strike this country
has ever seen. His management of
the strike situation when confronted
by nearly insurmountable obstacles
was OF the highest order His first and
main fight before the commission is
to compel the operators 70 recognize
the Miners Union. This the opera
tors are contending against. They
wish to deal with the miners as indi-
viduals and not through or by the
Union. We think, as Bishop Potter
says, that it is q great and grave
mistake for these operators to fight
the inevitable These Unions have
come TO stay, and their recognition,
as well as their appreciation by the
operators, is good policy. Mr. Olney
expressed the present conditions in
his Boston speech when he said that
labor unions are part OF these pres
ent conditions and have to be reck-
oned with. The right for labor to
organize for its welfare and better
ment is conceded. And the right OF
these unions and organization to in
some measure control their individu-
al members is also to some extent
conceded President Mitchell is in
the forefront of this fight, battling for
the rights of these unions.

THE BOWLING AVERAGES

Three bowling leagues are now In full
blast, the Independent and Commercial

Indianapolis League week before last. One
of the biggest surprises in the Independent
League opening was the low average made
by Lee Graft, last years champion. He
was badly out of form and got away with
an average of only 15S Kleine, of the

bowl a consistent game this season, heads

with 179. There are thirty-three in the $50
list.
Mat Paxton now leads the Indianapolis
League with an average of 100. His high
scores last week placed him in the enviable
position. Gus Williams, of the Marions,
is second, with 1S6. r. Smith, who led the
league the first week is now in fourth
place. The averages show fifty-one in the
160 division.
The Commercial League does not boast
of any champion bowlers, but 1T was
demonstrated when the league opened at
the Pastime alleys last Thursday night
that there will be lot of pleasure in the
seasons bowling and incidentally a few
good scores may be made just to surprise
the other leagues. Ruhl, of the Marotts,
now leads the league with an average of
1872. Brant, of the Kahn Tailoring Com
pany, Is second, with 152. There are six
