Washington, March 24.-victory to
the miners is the result Of the an
thracite coal strike arbitration. They
win every important point of the con-
troversy excepting decree that the
union shall be recognized, and on tais
point the commission makes no award.
but expresses an opinion favorable to
the contention of the miners that their
union should be recognized by the
companies
The report Of the commission ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt last
October is noteworthy triumph for
the miners and a vindication OF the
course pursued by President Mitchell
in their behalf. All the members of
the commission sign the report and
there is no minority report. Such
differences of opinion as existed
among the commissioners were har-
nlonized in a series of awards and
recommendations which secured their
Unanimous Approval.
In brief, the commission recon-
mends general increase OF wages.
amounting in most instances to 10 per
cent; some decrease in miners time;
provision for arbitration OF disputes:
sliding scale of wages with rates I'M
der this award as minimum; finding
against discrimination By either party

eide question of recognition of union !:
recommendation against employment
