Larger Cars, More Pay.

In all cases where miners are
paid by the car the increase awarded to
the contract miners is based upon the
cars in use, the topping required and the
rates paid per car, which were in force
on April 1, 1902 Any increase in the size
o. car or in the topping required shall
be accompanied by a proportionate in
crease in the rate paid per car.

Summary of Recommendations.


Against Compulsory Arbitration.
That the state and federal governments
should provide machinery for the maxi
ing of a compulsory investigation of dit
ficuties. The commission expresses the
opinion that with few notifications the
federal act of October. 1883. authorizing
a commission to settle controversies be-
tween railroad corporations and other
common carriers could be made the basis
of law for arbitration In the anthracite
coal mining business. The commission,
however. takes a decided position against
compulsory arbitration. On this point
they add lengthy commentary. which
closes in the following language:
THE chief benefit to be derived from
the suggestion herein made lies in plac-
ing the real facts and the responsibility
for such condition authoritatively before
the people that the public opinion may
crystalize and make its power felt Could
such a commission as that suggested have
been brought into existence in June last
we believe that the coal famine might
have been averted-certainly the suffering
and deprivation might have been greatly
mitigated'

NOT FOOT--BUT SHOE.

Every woman wants her shoes to look well,
so that she need not be ashamed to show her
feet 1t is the shoe that decides beauty not the
foot. If Woman'S shoes look well her feet
will look we'll, but the handsome foot counts
for nothing in unshapely shoe.
Now the great advantage of a QUEEN
QUALITY Shoe is that you have a choice
from so many styles, shapes and sizes, that it
is just like ordering your shoes custom
made. You get not only every shape but
every size in every shape; you get not only
every style but every style for every occasion.
And all these styles originate on "QUEEN
QUALITY" Shoes; other makers simply copy
them as closely as they can be initiated. Don't
forget this when you buy your next pair OF
shoes.
