DETROIT, Mich, March 6.-The ex-
ecutive committee of the Lake Car
rierS' association today closed season
contracts with the grain scoopers' IN
ion, of Buffalo, and the Marine Cooks
and Stewards of the Great Lakes. A
contract with the Lake Seamen's I'M
ion was closed on Wednesday. This
is the first time in the history Of the
lake trade that both interests have
joined hands for their common good,
the carriers recognizing the unions, in
creasing wages and giving better con-
ditions generally. In return the IN
ions agree not to enter into sympa-
thetic strikes and to submit all con-
troVerSieS and grievances to arbitra-
ton instead of striking.
The agreement between the Interna-
tonal 'Longshoremen and the Lake
Carriers association declares that all
grain handlers employed by the super
intendent shall be members of the
all differences is provided for and
the agreement says taht all boss scoop
ers shall be appointed by the super
intendent.
The wage scale for unloading grain
will be $2.12 1-2 per thousand bushels,
except on Sunday, when the rate will
be 1912 1-2. Cargoes started before
p. m. on Saturday shall be unloaded
at the $2.12 1-2 rate. The agreement
with the cooks provides for Il wage
scale as follows: Chief cooks, sec per
afterwards second cooks, $50 per
month up to Oct. l $3.50 afterwards;
porters, $25 per month up to Oct. /;
$35 afterwards. The cooks also will
be paid % cents a day extra for each
passenger carried on a freight boat

When any of these warning symp-
toms are experienced, the use of
Paine's Celery Compound will do Won
ders for anxious and suffering women.
Paine's Celery Compound used regu-
larly for a few weeks will build up
nerve force and physical strength, tone
digestion, keep the kidneys and liver
in working condition, will Danish
gloomy fears and give sweet sleep.
1t has saved thousands of women from
terrible sufferings and death. Miss
Annie Pasold, of De Witt, Iowa, tells
how Paine's Celery Compound made
her mother we'll and strong; she says:
My mother was taken very sick by
approaching change of life and was
confined to her bed for seven weeks
We employed the best doctor, but his
efforts were of little avail. She could
not keep anything on her stomach,
could not sleep and she wasted to a
shadow. We procured a bottle of
Paine's Celery Compound for her It's
use gave grand and wondrous results.
She soon slept we'll at night, got
stronger and her appetite returned. She
Is now well and strong and does her
work with pleasure. She would not be
without Paine's Celery Compound for
any consideration"

FINDING OF THE COAL
COMMISSION FORECAST
At Least 10 Per Cent Advance in Pay
for Mining.

NEW YORK, March 6.-The Her
aid prints the following as a summary
of the findings of the coal strike COM
mission appointed by President Roose-
Welt which, it is expected, will be
handed to the president within a week.
There viii undoubtedly be at least
a 10 per cent advance in pay for min
ing, to take effect from the time the
miners returned to work last October.
The per diem employees will not have
their wagI increased. but will be rec
commended for the same pay for day
of nine hours. The system of pay will
be regulated. Wherever practicable,
the operators will be required to pay
by weight, instead of by the car. and
elsewhere by the lineal yard. The
miners will have check docking repre-
sentauVes at their own expense. This
Will practically amount to a second in
crease in wages.
There will be indirect recognition of
the union which will come when the find
1ngs are submitted by President Roose-
welt to John Mitchell, as president of
the Miners union. The causes of the
strike, as found by the commission,
will not be comforting to the coal COM
pe'hieS' ne boycott VIII be condemn
ed and the principle will be laid down
that a miner has a right to work with
out molestation. even though he does
not belong to the union.
The terms of the verdict are to hold
good for three years, and recommends
tons are to be made for settlements of
wage and other questions at the end
of that period. In local disputes the
operators will be advised to treat with
committees of the miners and there
may be a suggestion for local boards
of arbitration.

FIRE DESTROYS
HARRIET PAVILION
Live Electric Wire Starts the
Blaze Which Was Pic
turesque.

The main part of the pavilion at
Lake Harriet was totally destroyed
by fire early last evening. The north
wing and the float are still standing,
but the other portions of the pavilion
are burned to the waters edge.
The fire started a few minutes after
o'clock from a live electric wire in
the building. Several of the residents
in that part Of the city noticed the
blaze in its inception, but were power
less to prevent it's spread.
They Immediately telephoned fire
headquarters, but owing to the great
distance from a fire station, the flames
had wrecked the greatest part Of the
building by the time the fire depart
ment arrived
When the fire department arrived
the men started to save what little
had not already been wrecked and by
valiant work succeeded in keeping the
flames from the north wing and from
the float and the approach to it. The
flames were so hot when the depart
ment arrived that it was we'll nigh i'm
possible to battle with them to any
advantage. Two engines were pulled
up to the waters edge and the water
supply taken from the lake. Consid1
cradle difficulty was experienced by
the firemen from a great many live
wires that were lying around on the
ground. Several of them received Sc
we're shocks, but no one was seriously
injured.
The flames Illuminated the skies in
the southerE part of the city and for a
short while it appeared as if the entire
south side was threatened.
The pavilion is owned by the street
railway company and the furniture in
it was owned by H. NJ. Barnet, to
whom the building was leased. The
loss on the furniture will foot up So
900, as the larger share of it was COM
paratiVely new.
The pavilion was erected ten years
ago and cost the street car company a
little over $4,000. The building as it
stands at present is a total loss. 1t is
covered by insurance. This is the sec
ond pavilion that has been destroyed
by fire at this summer resort. The
other one which stood up close to the
street car tracks burned eleven years
ago.
Whether the company will erect an
other pavilion could not be ascer-
tanned.
