"THEy Say

They say that several of the

visited several negro cabins IN

MRS. JOHN BLAIR DEAD.

Word was received in this city, by
the relatives last Saturday, of the death
of Mrs John Blair, at her home in
Seattle, Washington. Death occurred
on Saturday, March 21st, at 10 O'clock
a. m, of lung trouble, after an illness
of only few months. Deceased s
maiden name was Emma Murray and
she was the oldest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Philip Murray, of this city. She
was born in Wausau on the 18th day of
January, 1874; was educated and grew
to womanhood here and by her pleas
ant ways and kindly disposition, made
warm and lasting friends of all with
whom she became acquainted. In 1894
she was united in marriage to John
Blair and they resided here until two
years ago when they went to Seattle to
reside. Mrs. Blair was taken quite sick
in December and her parents went out
there in January and Mr. Murray re-
manned until February LIST Mrs Muir
ray came home on the 18th of March
and was accompanied by her grand
children. For a month past it was felt
by all that there was no hope for the
patient and while the end might come
at any time, still her vitality and natur.
ally strong constitution indicated a
year or more might yet be added to her
life. She leaves, besides her parents
whe reside in Wausau husband and
two children, son, Lilburn, aged eight
years, and daughter, Dorothy, aged
three years.
Mrs Blair will be buried in Wausau

The Strike COMMISSION

The strike commission, composed OF
seven men appointed by the President
to investigate the conditions OF the
miners of the anthracite coal region of
Pennsylvania, has at last made its
report. The report generally favors
the miners and is considered a great
victory for organized labor. The fol-
lowing are the main points covered in
the decision:
A 10 per cent. increase in wages and a
nine-hour day.
This will give the miners 100000 in
back wages.
1t means also that the miners will
gain 1925, 600 monthly in the future.
No discrimination againstany person,
union or lon-uniOn.
No concerted effort to limit the output
of coal
A board of Cancellation to consist OF
six members.
Three of the board members of the
miners union.
A sliding scale of wages depending
on the market prices of coal.
Compulsory investigation, but not
compulsory arbitration.
Discontinuance of the coal and iron
police"
Stricter enforcement of child-labor
laws.
The daily average rate of earnings in
the anthracite regions compares favor
ably with other industries.
Present constitution of the United
Mine Workers Union is severely
criticised.
No obligation on operators to employ
union men and no discrimination to be
exercised against the miners union.
No strikes or lockouts pending the
settlement of matters submitted for
adjustment.
The most remarkable result of the
decision is that the miners will receive
at once nearly SO zoo, 600 of back wages
and that their wages per month in the
future will be increased $7OO,O0b
or about $1,000, 900 more each year.
The miners union is recognized
only as it is empowered to appoint
three members of local board
of arbitration of six members, to
which shall be referred for settlement
all disputes between employees and oper-
ators and the union is to cease To inter
fere with the business of the operators.
The toal loss to miners in wages during
the late coal strike is estimated at 49,
DOC, 900 and the total cost to everyone
interested is figured at approximately
$4,000, 900.
