DEMANDS AND ANSWERS.
REcoGNITIoN oF uNIoN.

on the subject Of the recognition of
the Mine Workers union, the commits
sion say that they do not consider that
this subject is within the scope Of the
jurisdiction conferred on them. They
do say, however. that THE suggestion
of a working agreement between EN-
ployers and employees embodying the
doctrine Of collective bargaining is one
which the commission believe contains
many hopeful elements for the adjust
ment of relations" Further on they
say,
"The present constitution Of the
United Mine Workers Of America does
not present the most inviting induce
ments to the operators TO enter into
contractual relations with IT,
The commission report their incapa-
city TO make an award on the demand
of the miners for recognition Of their
union because, they say, the union is
not a party to the submission. Atten-
ton is called to the fact that Mr.. Nit
chell appeared before the commission
as "the representative OF anthracite
coal mine workers" and not in his OFF,
cial capacity. They also call attention
TO the fact that the agreement to arbi-
trate was reached between the 0per-
ators and the coal miners convention.
The commissioners say that trades I'M
ionlsm" is rapidly becoming a matter
OF business. II the energy Of the en-
ployer is directed 10 encouragement
and repression of the union he need not
be surprised If the more radical ones
are the ones most frequently heard
They express the opinion that differ
ences can best be settled by consulta-
tions by the employer with a COM
mittee chosen by his employees" but
they add that in order to be entitled
to such recognition the labor organiza-
ton must give the same recognition TO
the rights Of the employer and OF others
which It demands for itself and for Its
members"
They add: "The union must not UNI
dertake TO assume. or TO interfere with
the management Of the business Of the
employer"
They also pronounce as untenable
the contention that "a majority OF the
employees OF an industry, by voluntarily
associating themselves in "a union. ac-
auire authority over those who do not
SO associate themselves"

TWO LIVES SAVED
WITH THE LASSO
Cowboy Ropes Young Men Who
Had Fallen Into a Ne
braska River.

Hardy, Neb. IA cowboy named
Wilson was made Il hero by his clever
use of the lassO in rescuing two young
men, Frank Hammitt and Harry Web
ster, from death in the Republican
river. The river was swollen and filed
with ice. An attempt was made by
the youths to cross in rowbOat. which
was capSiZed in midStream. For mile
they succeeded in keeping themselves
above water by clinginE 10 cakes of
ice. As the current carried them nearer
shore ropes We're thrown them. but the
water completely numbed their limbs,
and they We're unable TO raise Il hand.
Wilson wasen route to a ranch where
he worked, ard was attracted by the
crowds. Riding his horse along the
bank parallel TO the floating bodies he
threw his lariat, which fell over the
body of Hammitt. Wilson drew it taut.
and winding the end about the POM
mel of his saddle turned his COW pony
and drew the body to shore, and then

ADJOURNMENT OF THE EXTRA
Still Looked for About n Week Hence
Some Comment on Special Ses-
sion Talk,

Washington, March 1.-THE Repub-
Hcan steering committee of the senate
yesterday considered the general con
d:tion of business in the senate. The
opinion was expressed that it would
be possible TO fix the day for the final
close of the session not later than next
Friday or Saturday. No resolutions
to that effect, however. will be intro
duced until an effort shall have been
made to name day for voting on the
Cuban reciprocity treaty.
There has been much speculation
about the probability of an extra ses-
sion of congress, but the only thing
that is certain is that the president
has mot made up his mind to call
one" The reason for this would seem
to be pretty plain. The only reason
for an extra session in the president s
view would be the failure of the Gu
ban reciprocity treaty. and as it can
not be said yet whether it will fail,
of course it cannot be said whether
there will be an extra session. The
reference of the Cuban treaty to the
house would be the same thing as
failure so far as an extra session is
concerned.
Washington, March 14.-In response
to the senate resolution the president
has returned the nomination of Will
liam Plimley, to be assistant treasur-
er of the United States at New York,
for further consideration.

Der, when Bonilla. feeling confident
of success, Tilted the presidents
daughter and announced his engage
ment to another young woman.
The result has been the cause of
the most intense bitterness in the up

civil war now under way there be-
tween Gen. Terencio Sierra, recently

who was engaged to the presidents
eldest daughter, refused to marry her
at the last moment.
Bonilla was member of Sierra s
