 Nationalist Party

Manila-General Allen, chief of the Philippine constabulary, has written to President Gomez of the Nationalist party charging that the party is assist ing the ladrones in Rizal and Bulacan provinces and requesting Gomez to produce the records of organization and explain the collection and use of the duties.

COAL MEN ARE SATISFIED
WILLING TO ABIDE BY THE FIND-
 INGS
L'high Valley Company Has 35,00O Men Who Will Rceive From S25 to $50 Each, Besides as Much More on Percentage

Wilkesbarre, Pa.-Local mine off cials in and about Wilkesbarre were seen Saturday in reference to the mine commission award but nearly all declined to make any comment. The manner in which they express themselves, however, would indicate that they are satisfied, or at least willing to abide by the findings and carry out its provisions. An official of the largest corporation said the award was practical vindication of the coal companies that the 10 per cent in crease and reduction of hours to the firemen was practically conceded. He said that the report and the review of the coal mining conditions will be of great ultimate good; that violence and boycotts have been denounced in no unmistakable language and that peace and normal conditions will prevail in this region for the next three years at least.
 All the local company officials will put their clerks at work to figure up the bonus cj.ailg to each employe under the award granting 10 per cent increase of wages earned since Novem- Der 1.
 The Lehigh Valley company has in its employ 8, GOO men and majority of them will receive from S25 to $50 each. The miners have also made good wages since the strike ended and will profit by the award to the extent of from $40 to S60 each on percentage. The Susquehanna Coal company was the only corporation that was not re- ported before the commission, but they have agreed to abide by the re- suit. They will pay their employees the same rate and in the same manner as all the other companies.
 Shamokin, Pa.-Coal operators of this vicinity at an informal meeting Saturday night decided that the best plan in reference to paying the mine workers the back wages since Novem- Der 16, awarded by the strike commis sion, was to divide the amount into three parts and add each amount to the three ensuing regular pay days, the first of which will fall due on March 30.
