VICTORY FOR BOTH SIDES.
A Synopsis Of the Coal Strike Com.
missions Report.

Ss~ - A~~HS"
New York, March THE New York
Herald prints the following as a
summary Of the findings Of the coal
.rike commission appointed by
President Roosevelt, which, it is ex-
cted, will be handed to the Presi-
'rnt within q week.
There undoubtedly will be at least
| 10 per cent advance in the pay for
mining, to take effect from the time
the miners returned to work last
October. The per diem employees
will not receive an increase in wages,
but will be recommended for the same
pny for a day of nine hours.
The system Of pay will be regulat-
ed Wherever practicable, the opera
tors will be required to pay by
weight, instead Of by the car. and
elsewhere by the lineal yard. The
miners will have check docking rep
resentatives at their own expenses.
This practically will amount to a
second increase in wages.
There will be Indirect recognition
OF the union, which will come when
the findings are submitted by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to John NJ. Mitchell,
as president Of the Miners union.
The causes OF the strike as found
by the commission will not be CON-
|feftiHg to the zeal mining eempa-
MES,
The boycott will be condemned,
and the principle will be laid down
that q miner has a right to work
without molestation, even although
he does not belong to the union.
The terms OF the verdict are to
hold good for three years, and rec.
concentrations are to be made fol
settlements Of wage and other cues
tions at the end Of that period.
In local disputes the operators viii
be advised to treat with committees
of the miners and there may be {
suggestionior local board ofarbitra
tion.
The demands OF the union whicl
resulted in the strike May Is, 1902
were as follows:
/. That there shall be an increas
Of 20 per cent to the miners who ar
paid by the ton-that is, for men per
forming contract work. These mel
involve about 40 per cent Of all tn
miners.
Q. A reduction Of 20 per cent.il
the time OF per diem employees. III
mines are operated about 200 day
per year ten hours per day. Thi
demand, II granted, would result il
reducing the day to eight hours g,
per cent?, so that the mines would b
operated 24O days at about the sam
pay; hence an. equivalent OF - pc
cent increase In the earnings, no In
crease IN the rates OF Per diem en-
nlovaaa hang demanded.

THE EXTRA SESSIONS AUTHOR.
Alth ough So Years Old, Senator Nor.
gan is a Tireless Speaker.

Sdu 10 q hSiSSS SpSuhSis
Whashin gton, March f.-Senator
John T. Morgan OF Alabama, who is
nearly eighty years old, has during
the present session of congress bro.
ken almost all records for volumin-
GUS speaking on the measure. He
has forced an extra session OF the
man Of the hour.
Almost the first question asked by
scores OF visitors at thecapital in the
last and most exciting days Of the
session is: "Where is Senator Nor
gan? must see him."
When the venerable senator is at
last pointed out, walking erect and
sturdy to his seat in the front row,
directly opposite that Of Senator
Quay, the invariable reply is: "Why,
indeed? That Senator Morgan? He
doesn't look tired at all. Apparently
good for two weeks more"
And 80 he seems, for the senator is
still strong and well and prepared to
renew his fight against the Panama
canal treaty when the special session
begins. It is estimated that Mr..
Morgan has spoken moro than 200,-
900 words on the subject Of an 18th.
milan canal during the present short
session. His last installment was
spoken when Senator Cullom and the
other republican leaders attempted
to force ratification. This amounted
to about 80, 900 words.
While this was not continuous
speaking it involved about as much
strain, for the senator had to be con-
stantly in his seat to take up the ar
gument at any msment.

blNVANSO " hNs
Henderson, KY, March 5.-A ter
rible tragedy occurred in this county
near the Unisn county linelsst night.
A farmer named Allen Melton went
to the home Of John Culver, where
his stepdaughter, Mary Melton, 16
years old, was spending the night,
John Culver was away from the house.
Melton entered, and, seeing his
daughter, drew a revolver and shot
her. The ball entered the spine in
the small OF the back. The girl ran,
and the maddened father fired a sec.
ond shot, when the girl fell.
Mrs. Culver heard the shots and
screamed and ran into the room.
Melton turned on her and fired. The
ball passed through her lungs and
she fell to floor. Melton then left the
house and went to the home OF Dock
Latta, two miles away, where he re-
manned all night.
Early this morning he left and
went to his home at Morganteld.
Bloodhounds trailed him to a barn.
When he heard them coming he shot
himself through the head and swal-
lowed a large amount OF paris green.
Two weeks ago he tried to bang
his divorced wife, and it ssaid he had
threatened to kill his step-daughter.
Itis thought he returned to Union
to kill his wife, and this is thought
to be the reason he did not commit
suicide when he shot the girl.
Melton was respected farmer and
well to do Excitement is running
high. The girl will die. There is
some hope for Mrs. Culver.

WHO ARE THE BIGGER sNoBs?
A corundrum Which It. Would Be
 Difficult to Solve.

From the Washington Times
 Close following the news that Rich ard Croker will not return to New York this fall for fear that his pres ence will hurt Tammany comes the announcement that the British aris- tocracy is banding itself together to check Yankee influence in London
 We were once vanqu.shed by the race which camo over with the Con- queror, but what a fate to be sup planted by the purse-proud horde who come over with the Cunarder' is the worthy wit of the ancient Countess of Cork
 Isn't it al very funny, though, this bloodess contest between snobs and snobs for social eminence in a world of snobs?
 For ourselves We, can't see a great difference between the selfishness and egotism and general daraphoolishness of the man or the woman whose papa made his money in pork and >tne~lora or the lady whose papa's papa dozen times removed got his by smashing some one smaller tnc.-- himself in the jaw.
 
 own way in their day and generation, but that does not prove that their progeny can measure up either to the pork or the basning standard.
 When snobbery gets extensively as- sertive it IS well to read Shakespeare, who, by remarking in effect that rose by any other name would smell as sweet, plainly inferred that stink is a stink even if we are refined and dare not call it anything worse than a disagreeable odor.
 Fortunately for the other fellow, it isn't what we think we are that counts in the long run-it's what we prove we are.
 The only thing that snob ever suc- ceeds in proving is that he is just natural born idiot.

BOBBY WALTHOUR WILL
 USE HUGE MOTOR CYCLE

In his race against twenty fast running horses, which win be brought from St. Louis, at the Trotwood park on Septem- Der g. Bobby Walthour, the worlds champion cyclist. will follow for the first time In the south one of the big fourteen horse power motor cycles similar to those which were used in and around Boston all this year.
 This motor is so large and heavy that there is not a bicycle track in the south strong enough to stand its weight Be- hind this motor cycle Walthour has bro- ken all worlds records from one to fif- teene miles, riding his fiftieth mile in one minute and seven seconds, the fastest mile ever ridden by any bicycle rider in the world in a race.
 Walthour is scheduled for many races with horses this fall and winter through out the south. and this race in Birming- gam will be his first and longest race yet scheduled. In fact, this is the longest
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-09-06

run he has ever attempted againstshorses and in taking on such a race against twenty fast horses with a fresh horse to relay every mile will be the toughest proposition he has ever undertaken.
 Walthour does not know himself the limit of his speed, for he has made rec ords to have them broken by other rid CTS Then he returns and lowers them again, as he says he has never yet seen the motor go as fast as he could have followed it. This gace will be entirely new in this city and lots of money will be wagered upon the results.
 Walthour rode his first races against horses last fall. These were ten mile events and Walthour won two out of three. In the two he won it was only by a narrow margin. but this style of racing is so much different from regular cycle racing and so much harder that with twenty horses to compete against if will require steady speed close to. 1:50 in order to win. Those who are get ting tie horses will select those with records better than 1:43. This race is for the benefit of the Labor temple.

The Genius of Labor.

From the New York Press
 Two hundred persons, waiting for a train, intently watched an old mau driving six-inch spikes with an iron maui. Now, there is nothing unusual or extraordinary about driving spikes with maui, even though the head of a spike is only three-eighths of an inch square and that of the maui only quarters. But there was a fasci- nation in this old mans work. His genius for driving spikes was manifest, He never ml-so a blow. He never needed more tan three blows to send the spike nome, with it. head buried in the planking. He always gave three There was a rythmic harmony in his task that appealed to all. In his par ticular line he excelled. That is the genius of labor.
