THE SERVICE OF GOVERNOR TAFT.

patriotic youth for all time to come I
A good student OF the law and a success
tu Judge, he had as the ambition of his
life seat on the Supreme Bench of the
United States. He was in the direct line
tor such promotion if vacancies should
occur, when he was appointed chairman
OF the present Philippine Commission n.
But from a sense of public duty he &C.
cepted the uncommonly difficult task of
leading the Philippine peoples out of the
chaos OF war and ignorance to orderly
government. When he accepted this
post the difficulties were greater than
beset any other public task that we had
in hand. 1t was not clear what could be
done. 1t was not even quite clear what
we wished to do. Congress had enacted
no Philippine legislation. The whole
problem was yet a military one; and pub
lie opinion in the United States was
divided. We were making our way
through log. But Judge Taft, with
his capable co commissioners, took the
task IN hand and began the work of con-
structng an orderly governmental of
making a civilization where civilization
had never been. What they have done is
great piece OF constructive work, and
the first piece OF such work that has
been done by democratic government
with an Aslatic population. - Worlds

The Coal Commissions Report.

The report of the commission appointed
By the President last October to investi.
gate the anthracite coal strike, was made
public at Washington yesterday. The
report is dated March Is, and is signed
by all the members of the commission.
In brief the commission recommends a
general increase of wages, amounting in
most instances to 10 per cent; some de.
crease Of time; the settlement of all dis
putes by arbitration; fixes a minimum
wage and sliding scale; provides against
discrimination Of persons by either the
mine owners or the miners on account of
membership or no membership in labor
union and provides that the awards
made shall continue in force until March
81, 1906. The commission discussed to
some extent the matter OF recognition or
non-recognition of the miners union, but
declined to make any award on this
matter.
The award torbids any increase in the
size of cars and allows the miners to
choose a check docking boss to weigh
the cars with the miners agent.
The commission refers to the hazard,
Gus nature of anthracite coal mining,
and give an estimate of the losses coca
stoned by the strike. These losses they
estimate as follows: To the mine own
ers, SAG, 10000 to the mine employees
in wages, $25, 900 900; to the transport
tation companies. $28,000OO0.
The awards are rather favorable to
the miners, as had been anticipated, but
the United Mine Workers Union is not
recognized and is even criticized by the
commission.
But what interests the public the
most is the probable effect of these
awards on the price of coal. 1t is pretty
evident that the coal trust will make
the dear public pay for the strike and
that all advance of wages means higher
prices for anthracite coal. But the public
will know that the miner is getting
mole pay and shorter hours and that
there will be peace in the Pennsylvania
coal fields for three years.
The commission have performed their
arduous labors TO the general satisfac-
ton of TIE public and their awards are
final. The friends OF the miners appear
satisfied with the awards and the man
ayers OF the coal trust have nothing to
say.

naturalist, will be member Of the party
and be the Presidents sole companion in

Report

The weather has continued very warm
the past week but there is still frost in
the ground and in many places the roads
are heavy. Conditions have been IN.

dlcted that at best only small yield will
be secured. lfweather conditions do not
speedily improve the crop will be almost
failure. The farmers are busy prepar
ing tor spring work, some blowing hay
ing been done already. The manufactur-
els are very busy and orders for manutac
tured goods are freely received. Pros
poets in the department of business is
very good. Collections are slow, in but
few instances are quoted above tair, the
scarcity of available funds appear more
pronounced than usual. The retail trade
is fairly satisfactory. Notice is being
published in local papers of applications
to sell liquor under the recent act of the
state legislature. The mills and factories
are busy in Burlington. The wholesale
business in groceries, tobacco, hardware,
etc, remains unchanged. Retail trade
and collections fair. No settlement is re.
ported from the strike at the bush fac
tory. April LIST is awaited with con-
siderable apprehension because of the
attitude of workmen in the lumber dis
trict who have made requests of en-
ployers to reduce the length of working
day at former wages. Lake Champlain
is practically free from ice and naviga-
ton opens Wedn, sday March IS.
Waterbury reports general business con-
dtons favorable. The garment factory
and stone shed are busy. Retail trade
and collections unchanged. LEGAL con.
dltions govern trade largely at White
River Junction. The railroads are doing
a large business at this point and trade
is improved in consequence; the business
situation here is satisfactory. The
machine shops at Springfield are very
busy and general trade is good labor is
well employed, collections as usual.
The paper mills at Bellows Falls are
busy with good prospects; other manu-
featuring concerns are busy, retail trade
and collections good.
The marble mills at Rutland are doing
large business, retail trade is fairly
good, collections as usual. The strike
against the machine shop continues, but
the situation has become complicated as
ouit mas pCCu pIOuSHI Ill tue courts by
manufacturers against some of the indi-
vidual strikers for damages growing
out OF the labor trouble. The interest in
gold deposits at Readsboro continues,
and the town, Friday, voted to exempt
local company from taxation for pc
riCd of years. At present no mine is be-
ing worked, but it is expected there will
be activity in the gold regions when the
spring opens up. A plan is also being
discussed to develop water power near
the town of some five thousand horse
power. The chair factory is very busy

The Coal C,mmissiom's Award.

| If the corporations had at the outset
volunteered thes concessions that they
have now agreed to make, the strike and
the losses wouldhave been averted. AS
it is the corporations have gained moth
ing, the miners have gained pretty much
all there is to gan, while the public has
suffered badly. The corporations prac'
tically receded from their original posi-
ton OF refusing to arbitrate or recognize
the mine workers; union, when they con-
sented to refer tn. dispute to arbitration;
and they are now advised by the COM
mission that collective bargaining with
employees is omehing which they might
as well recognize n the future as iair and
desirable. The United mine workers
union is not let of without some adverse
criticism, and that body is bound by the
award to let nonl1nion labor alone; but
on the wholeit is adecided victory gained
by the union.-[springfeld Republican,

SIX THOUSAND BOOKS A YEAR.

According to London publishers cir
cular the output OF new books during
1902 amounted to 1899 as against 1856
in 1901. | think that every one of this
1899 must have found it's way to the
Critic office. Never since the foundation
OF this journal in 1881 has it received so
many books. Out of this number how
very few have been worth while. The
publishing business seems to be more
and more of gamble. Throw manu-
script into the press and see what hap.
pens, is apparently the principle upon
which many publishers go. Nothing else
can account for the enormous quantity
OF books published and the unimportance
OF most OF them The Critic.

Rev. Edward Cummings of Boston, a
former Harvard professor who is now
assistant pastor of Rev. DR.. Edward
Everett Hale's church, said something in
public address recently that ought to
set people to thinking: you have labor
trusts and capitalistic trusts, and they
are having a glorious time lighting each
other because they do not know they are
inevitable. Finally they will combine,
and then the great consuming public will
have them both to reckon with"

the recipients of the collection are at a
