on the border line Of their Constitntonal
powers and duties under the circum-
stances, invited JoHN nIfcnRLL to ths
White House to msst tie representatives
Of the men and property that were In
daily peril because Of his followers.
We como now to the two most signih-
cant and effective conclusions OF tho
Commission, taken in the invefse order
Of their importance. The Commission
respected fully the condition imposed
by the operators. namely. that there
should be no monopoly Of coal labor BY
tho United Mine Worksre. Tho Com
mission goes further and indicates that.
although the Mitchell organization SIREN
uously denied always that monopoly
was their aim. no doubt Of II could exist
after the evidence vas In. nor, - body
Of intelligent and fair-minded Americans.
could Judge GRAY and hs colleague
refrain from characterising 1t a. II
deserved.
I. Against MIrcHILL's demand that
the anthracite opsratop deal with .
labor organization covering tho entire
country, the Commission recommend
an independent and autonomous or
ganization Of the anthracite mine work.
en Of Pennsylvanis. The advantage
OF such an arrangement to the anthracite
miners themselves is, in our opinion,
indubitable. The advantage 70 the en-
tire country Of having the disputes and
complications arising bstveen coal labor
and capital limited to as small an area
as possible IL not for debate ct ell; the
case Ia too plain. We call attention here
to the Commissions advioe that Q plan
DO adopted vhsreby. m CASES Of disagree
ment, all questions Of difference between
the employer and his employees shall
first be considered in conference between
the employer and q committee chosen
BY his employees from their own ranlgs.'
II. The Commission deals with the
fundamental issue which the union men
raise against the non-union men In q
spirit Of broad, patriotic and frank
philosophy. Upon thu topic the text
Of the report deserves being quoted at
length:
