Loss OCCAsIONED BY STRIKE
BUSINESS OF THE COMMISSION
HAS BEEN TRANSACTED
WITHOUT THE LEAST
FRICTION.

The commission gives an estimate Of
the losses occasloned by the strike.
These are as follows;
As to mineownerb. sis.ioO. 900; to the
mine employees in wages, $4,000. 900; to
the transportation companies, s2S.0e0.-
$780,. The commission says In making
Ing their investigation they have done
whatever II was practicable to do To
acquaint themselvs with the conditions
which brought about the strike. and
they make the following summary OF
their work:
They have gone through mines and
inspected the various conditions which
the production ~ anthracite .oal In
wolves: they have visited the break
ers. the engine houses and pumping
station; they have examined the ma
chinery by which the miners tire pro-
tected from water and foul air; they
have talked with the miners in their
work and a. their homes and they have
given attention 10 the economic, do
nestle, scholastic and religious phases
Of their lives; they have listened to
and directed the examination and cross
examination Of 55 witnesses; they have
given free scope 70 the counsel who
represented the operators. the nom
union men and the miners, and they
have devoted an entire week 10 hear
their arguments,
The commissioners also say that
while there have b.en differences of
opinion among themselves. tfiere never
has been time during the five months
of the existence OF ,he commission
when ther was an unpleasant word
spoken among them, "or any indication
whatever Of thought or desire of aught
save truth and Justice"
The commission then takes Up the
demands Of the mineworkers and the
answers OF the mine operators. giving |
In detail the reasons Tor the findings. |
In a general way they say that the
conditions OF the life Of mineworker
outside the mines does not justify TO
their full extent the adverse criticisms
mads by their representatives. They
also find that the social conditions in
the mining communities are good and
they fail to find that the wages are so
low among the miners as necessarily to
force them to put shsir small children
to work, The commission also finds
that the average daily rate OF earnings
In the anthracite regions does not ccm-
pare favorably with that Of other in
dustrles.
On the subject OF the recognition

sion says that they do lot consider

They do say, however. that "the sug-
gestion OF working agreement be-

oodying the doctrine Of collective bar
raining Is one which the eommisslonl
believes contains many hopeful ele-
nents for the adjustment of relations.

body to the struggling ministers and
churches of his denomination. On one
occasion he had opened suburban
