COAL STRIKE COMMISSION
THEIR REPORT HANDED TO THE
PRESIDENT.
Miners Won Three Concessions-Re-
port Calls for an Increase of Wages
of 10 Per Cent-Eight Hours Days
Work in Hard Coal Mnes-Trouble
in Future to Be Arbitrated.

Chicago, March 2O.-A Washington
dispatch says:
Members of the coal strike arbitra-
ton commission appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, filed with the presi-
dent today unanimous recommends
ton on final report. Although the
commissions report will not be made
public until Saturday enough is known
of its recommendations to permit a
review OF the material features.
Not only is an increase OF 10 per
cent in wages granted to the miners,
but new regulations in weighing coal,
it is said will really make the increase
much larger, as they will preclude the
men from being compelled to mine
more than ton of coal and getting
paid only for a ton as now prevails.
Another point decided by the com
mission is that mining operators must
fix a days work at eight hours, for
every miner. The miners also gain an
other point of contention in being rec
ognized with checkers of their own for
coal as mined By a system Of dock
age the miners assert the operators
heretofore have overburdened work
men with rebates, which materially re-
duced their actual income.
So the real issues raised by the min
ers when they went on strike are
granted by the COMMISSIONERS work
more pay and less interference on the
part of the mining operators sums up
this feature of the commission report.
The report also contains provision,
it is said, for settlement Of all future
trouble between miners and operators
by adjudication by committee of the
two parties to the controversy. By
this provision it is understood the min
ers' union is indirectly recognized and
this again is regarded as a victory for
President Mitchell and organized la
Dor.
The commissioners rebuke the boy
colt.

FRAUD PROMOTER UNDER BAN.
The President Orders an lnvestiga-
ton.

Washington, March 16.-Serious
charges have been flea with President
Roosevelt against a practicing attor-
ney at law who formerly was an en-
ploye of the postoffice, but they are
of such a nature that at this time
they can not be disclosed. The charges
were placed in the hands of the pres
ident by t. G. Campbell, an attorney
Cincinnati, representing one or more
of the turf investment concerns about
which recently there has been much
scandal. 1t is understood that the bur-
den of the charges is that the former
received large sums of money from
the turf investment companies for pre-
pairing an opinion declaring the state
ment of such investment companies
to be legitimate, and for a promise of
protection to be given to the compa-
MES by officials.
When the matter was brought to the
presidents attention he regarded it as
so serious that he ordered a sweeping
investigation to be made. The presi-
dent has directed that no means be left
lntried to develop the facts and to pun
ish the guilty, if the guilt of any Of
ficials shall be shown by the investiga-
ton.
