MORE PAY FOR MINERS.

A F0r@cm@t of What the Strike C0m-
 mfssiens' Report VIII Say.
 NEW YORK, March 6.JThe Herald this morning says:
 President Roosevelt's coal strike commission is hurrying with its report and the document will probably be in the hands of the president within 2 week.
 "The commission has practically agreed on all the vital points on which 1t was required to pass.
 ''The only matter in which the con- mission has been in doubt was the question as to how the miners should be paid. This was thoroughly discussed today, when the commission had be- fore 1t most of the reports of the min CTS and the operating companies.
 Secrecy as to the report has been imposed on all members Of the commis- sion, but it is stated, nevertheless, that the forecast presented herewith covers briefly but correctly the main decisions and recommends tions that will be made in the report to the president.
 Ut is believed that the increase of 10 per cent will be granted without any question, but that certain changes will be made in the system of paying the miners which will make that increase considerably larger, because it will do away with the abuse of which the union complained of making the men mine more than ton of coal when in theory they were paid for ton.
 "The miners struck for a 20 per cent decrease in hours for the men paid by the day, without any decrease in the mems wages. It is understood that the decrease in hours recommended will be from ten to ndne.
 ''The causes of the strike as found by the commission will not be comforting to the coal mining companies.
 s@The boycott will be condemned, and the principle will be laid down that a miner has right to work without mo- lesta ton, even though he does not be- long to the union.
 saThe terms of the verdict are to hold good for three years, and recommends tons are to be made for settlements of wage and other questions at the end of that period.
 "In local disputes the operators will be advised to treat with committees of the miners. and there may be a sugges- ton for local boards of arbitration"

Anderson Fails to Win His Match in
 Manchester.
 South Manchester. March 6--Afred Anderson, ssthe Terrible Swede," lost his wrestling match under the aus pices of the Pierce Athletic club in the Armory opera house last evening. The result was great surprise, for 1t was thought that his strength would make his opponents easy victims. Ander- son was to throw William Madden and Charles Reinecke once each in side of an hour, the winner to take 75 per cent of the gate receipts and the with Madden first and for the sixteen minutes that the bout lasted there was much exciting work done. Mad den showed up in fine shape and near ly threw Anderson early in the match with half-Nelson hold Anderson got a similar hold on Madden after twelve minutes on the mat, but it was impossible for him to get fall on this hold. Anderson claimed a fair fall, but Referee Tanner could easily get his hand under Madden's shoulder and he would not give the decision.
 After considerable arguing, Ander- son gave in and resumed his wrest- ling. Four minutes later both men thad worked of the mat, Anderson rushing Madden into the crowd around the ring.
 Anderson. who was almost -brutally rough, continued to rush Madden. un- til the crowd came to the latter's as- sistance. Anderson stopped then and refused to go on with the match. He attempted to explain, but the noise made by the crowd was deafening. When the opportunity was given him to explain he said that Madden had improved so much that he was sur prised and he asked to arrange a match for his pupil, Oscar Johnson, with Madden, Johnson to throw Mad den twice dn an hour Previous to this Madden could have arranged a match on the terms that Johnson would throw him five times in an hour.
 Reinecke, who had not gone on with Anderson, gave an exhibition with Madden for fifteen minutes and it was & fine bout. Madden was somewhat sore from the rough treatment he had received from Anderson, who at ev- cry opportunity injured him as much as possible.

About 1000 Shots Fired Between the
Strikers and Non-Union Men,

Wheeling, w. Va, Aug. ia clash

1000 shots were fired and several men
were injured took place early Sunday
morning between 300 striking machin-

ken their places in the Riverside plant
of the United States steel corporation.
The battle was begun Saturday night.
The machinists have been out on
strike for several weeks and the Situa-
ton was becoming desperate for the
corporation until they imported about
20 men to take the places of the Strik-
ers. The men have been assaulted
from time to time but the situation
has not reached an alarming stage
heretofore.
The strikers cOngregated about the
boarding houses of the non-uniOnists
Saturday night fully armed and began
an attack on the places. The houses
were heavily barricaded and many vol
legs were fired into the structures.
Finally a well-directed shot from
within the house wounded one of the
strikers and he was carried to hos
pital Clay Hoover, a spectator, was
shot in the left knee. A number of
other people who were in the build
ing with the non-unionists received
wounds
The rioting continued until o'clock
Sunday morning, when it abated some
what. The police were pOwerless to
interfere and reinforcements were re-
quested A fresh outbreak is feared at
any moment.
At 10 o'clock Sunday night the strik-
ers, who are lying in the hills, fired on
Peter Silatek as he passed. He was
seriously wounded. The strikers mis-
took him, thinking he was a spy.
