STRIKE COMMISSIONS REPORT.
Baltimore Sun


The report of the commission appointed by
the President last October to investigate the
anthracite coal strike bears the marks of care
full and conscientious preparation and seems
to hold the balance evenly between the miners
and mineowners. An increase of wages, some
decrease of time, minimum wage, sliding
scale, equal rights for members of unions and
non unionists, permanent Cancellation board,
with arbitration of disputes--these are the
leading features of the award. The increase
of wages is to be 10 per cent. in most cases be-
ginning November LIST, 1902, and wages are to
vary according to the price of coal. not, how
ever, falling below a certain minimum. The
award regulating the relations between miners
and employers, as respects wages and reclpro-
cal obligations generally, is to continue IN
force till March 3lst, 1906. A period OF three
years is thus fixed. during which the new ar
rangements will be adequately tested. and
both employers and employed will enjoy a
stability of conditions most favorable to their
business. All employees, or company men,"
except such as get special awards, Will get an
increase of 10 per cent. between November lst,
1902, and April LIST, 1903, and after April LIST
and till March 31st 1906, will have nine
hour day, receiving therefor the same wages
as were paid in April, 1902, for 10-hour day.
Overtime is to be paid at proportional rate
per hour. Present methods OF payment Will
be continued. No strike or lockout is permit
ted during the time in which matter in dis
pute is being adjudicated by the board of con-
cilation. For every increase of five cents in
average price of coal above $40 the miners
are to receive per cent. increase of pay.
There is to be no special favor for nor dis
elimination against any person on account of
membership or non-membe rship in any labor
organization, nor shall the unions interfere
with non-unionists. The employment of the
Goal and Iron Police" is to be discontinued,
as source of irritation to the miners, the local
police being relied on. Laws in respect to the
employment of children ought, it is suggested,
40 be more STRICTLY enforced, but their y,ioy
ment in the past has not been due. il is held,
to insufficient wages OF parents. Compulsory
arbitration is not recommended, but modi-
fcation of the Federal act of October 1888,
authorizing commission to settle labor con-
troversies would probably be useful. The con-
dtions of life in the mining region are not
such, it is stated, as to justify very adverse
criticism. The social conditions are good and
the average wages compare favorably with
wages in other industries. Recognition of the
Mine Workers Union is not dealt with, but
it is suggested that the present constitution of
the United Mine Workers of America is not
such as to invite contractual relations with it.
The losses caused by the strike are estimated
at nearly S100, 000 600, the mineowners having
lost S46 100000, the miners $25 000, 900 and the
railways $28000,000.

THE COMING municipal election in Baltimore
city is beginning to attract great deal of at
tention. The weekly circular issued by the
banking house of Messrs. Hambleton & Co.,
says: There probably never was a time
when the citizens of Baltimore took as great
interest in a municipal election as they do at
present. There are several reasons for this.
In the first place, city affairs and the necessity
and desirability of public Improvements have
in recent years been fully discussed, the rea-
son for this desirable change being the interest
taken in public affairs by the better and more
conservative element of society. In former
years very many of those who should have
been most interested in civic affairs were &C.
customed to stay away from the polls, and so
far as voting at primary elections was con-
cerned this element was always conspicuous
by its entire absence-this because the nomi-
nations were cut-and-dried in advance, and
there never was any doubt of the election of
the party candidate. This has, fortunately,
all been changed and no one can predict with
certainty the success or defeat of either party
or any candidate. There has grown up an in.
dependent element in Maryland politics which
cares more for the suitability and fitness of the
candidate than for the success of either of the
political parties, and this element absolutely
controls"

With glad spirits hymns of love.
She is gone to heaven before u.s.
But she turns and waves her hand.
Pointing to the glorious DER US,
In that happy spirit land.

SENATOR CARMAcK, of Tennessee, has been
giving his ideas to a Washington newspaper
correspondent about the coming Democratic
nominee for the Presidency. He thinks that
Judge Alton B. Parker, Of New York, is the
most likely candidate because he supported
Bryan in 1896 and 1900 and is therefore a
straight party man. Senator Carmack said ::
II do not mean to say that harsh measures
should be used in dealing with the men who
have not been supporting the Democratic
ticket, but as a.matter of party policy l think
it would be a very bad idea to nominate man
who has recently supported the Republican
ticket. 1 think we ought to get man who
supported our ticket both in 1896 and 1900. If
we nominate a man who did not support the
ticket, then there will be thousands of Demo-
Gratis in every part of the country who would
refuse to vote for him."
IT IS rather hard, it seems, to please Col.
VIM. Jennings Bryan. He is up in arms be-
because Senator German has been chosen as
the Democratic leader. In the last issue of his
newspaper the Colonel says: There's not a
single reform for which Mr.. German stands,
nor is there single remedial measure which
can be said to have his earnest and hearty
support. When the Wilson tariff bill was be-
fore the Senate he was one of the Senators
who, by holding the balance of power, forced
the emasculation of the bill in the interest of
the manufacturers On all economic
questions except the tariff he is in agreement
with Mr.. Cleveland, and on the tariff he is
avon vvorsa than CLEVELAND Unless there has
been complete revolution in the views of
several of the Democratic Senators there will
be protest against Mr.. Germans leadership
and the sooner that protest is made the better
for the party. y

In HIS address to the candidates for the
ministry Bishop Fowler, who presided at the
New Jersey Methodist Conference, gave the
young men much wholesome advice and among
other things said II hope you each have a
good wife. Ifyou have not,get one, and don't
marry her because she is pious. Marry her
because she has good common sense. If
had two women to choose from, one having
common sense and the other only religion
would take the woman with common sense,
for if a woman with common sense under
takes this work that person will be religious
within the next hour. A woman who is only
religious may backslide, and l have no doubt
we give them plenty of cause for it, but wo-
man who has common sense will not expect
us to be saints.'
