WORK OF 10mMIS'N

Washington, Nov. 6.-Roosevelt's strike commission have concluded their investigation of the mines. They will now deal with the operators in answer to Mitchell's statement of claim.
 The Miners Demands.
 Hazelton, Pa. Nov 6.-The statement of the mine workers has been filed with the strike commission and made public.
 They demand an increase of 20 per per cent upon price. paid during 1901 to employees performing contract or piece work. The demand is made on account of the reasons that the present wages are much lower than paid in biluminouS coal fields for substantially similar work; present wages are lower than in other Occupatlon5 requiring equal skill and and training: annual earnings of miners insufficient to main tain the America standard Of living; wages of mine workers SO low that chli- dren are prematurely forced into the breakers and mill instead of being sup ported and educated upon the earnings of the parents. The demand is made for 20 per cent to the hours of labor without any reduction in the earnings for all employees paid by the hour, day or week. and submits the following:
 Ten-hour work day l., detrimental to the health, life and safety of miners; shorter hours increase intensity and efficiency of labor: the tendency Of na- tional and state governments and of organized trade generally toward short CT hours: working day of eight hour, is

Vancouver, Nov. 5.-The latest re- turns from yesterdays American e.ec- tions show that the republicans elected 197 con9ressmen, the democrats loo, with nine districts to be heard from. Unofficial reports place Odell's majorl- ty in New York at 10000, but Coer re- fuses to concede his defeat and says he prefers to await the official vote. and also hints that fraud robbed him of many votes, and action may be taken. The narrow escape of Odell from de- feat is commented on as democratic landslide. It was Erie, Albany ana Rennsaler counties that saved the re- publican governor.
 New York, Nov. 5.-The election held yesterday in the United States were the first to occur since the reapportlOn- ment. of congressional representation made necessary by lSOO census results.
