mine workers grievances on which the board
could not agree made his first decisions to-day.
They uphold the contentious OF the operators
and are disappointment TO the miners. Who
had expected the arguments Of their represen-
tatives on the board TO Be sustained. The most
important relates 70 the right OF the mine own
ers 70 discharge men without giving a reason
therefor Mr. Wright decides that they can
discharge or employ whom they please. but he
recommends that IN cases OF discharge due

Mr. Wright declares that the rockmen. who
asked for the same per cent Of increase granted
the miners. had no standing before the board
because they were not parties to the submission
70 the Strike Commission. On the charges Of
discrimination against Cox Brothers & Co. and
the Lehgh Coal and Navigation Company he
advises that in cases where former employees
are not under arrest or have not been convicted
of criminal acts during the strike or are not
incompetent, or have not been displaced by new
machinery. they he employed in preference TO
new men.
In the case of Thomas Tanner who gets less
wages now than before the strike. Mr.. Wright
decided that, he gets an increase Of IL per
cent his hourly wage. no injustice is done
him. He works nine hours. he formerly worked
twelve.
He recommends that in all cases Of dispute
the employer and employee make an effort to
