MITCHELL PLEASED.
4 Decided JiCtory for Miners, He
,SaUS.

Detroit. March 21.-President Mitchell Of the
United Mine Workers said tonight: The de
cfsion Of the strike commission is on the whole
decided victory for the miners. and I am
pleased with it, The anthracite miners of Penn
svlvania have reason to he much pleased with
the commissions awards. and I that
they are"
In reply to a question as to whether the
miners received as much as had been hoped
for. Mr.. Mitchell answered Il do not care to
say
The most important feature OF the awards"
he continued, rs Of course the Increase Of 10 per
cent given TO the miners. This will result in
an annual increase in the wages of the 10000
anthracite miners of Pennsylvania of SGOOOOOO.
The sliding scale provided for by the commits
sion is very satisfactory. iAsmuch as a mini
mum of 81 10 ton is fixed With white ash
coal at 81 30 a ton at tidewatcr. the increase
provided in the sliding scale will be equivalent
TO 90 per cent more on the miners wFges."
President Mitchell asked II he was dis
appointed because the commission did not recog-
nize the union formally. and he replied that he
was not because the decision OF the commission
and its awards were in themselves recognition
of the power and influence of the United Mine
Workers.
After the increase Of wages" said Mr..
Mitchell. the most important of the awards
from the miners standpoint are the the ones fix
Ing nine hour day and providing for board
Of conciliation. The award gives a nine hour
day with ten hours pay directly to ninety thou
sand men, and practically all the other en-
ployes OF the anthracite mines will get a nine
hour day by reason OF their comrades shorter
hours. The provision fer Il board OF cOncilia-
ton will result in great good. and am much
pleased With II. 1t will compel investigation Of
both sides of controversies between the miners
and operators and bring the employers into
closer relationship With their men. This cannot
help but bring most beneficial results"
