UNION PARTIALLY RECOGNIZED BY BOARD
Causes of Recent Dispute Are ANA
IyEed and Blame t. Largely
Placed to Coal BarOn5
Account.

NEW YORK, March 6.-The Herald
prints the following as a summary Of the
findings of the coal strike commission ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt, which, It
Is expected will be handed to the presi-
dent within a week.
There will undoubtedly be at least 10
per cent advance in the pay for mining.
to take effect from the time the miners
returned to work last October. The per
diem employees will not have their wages
increased but will be recommended for the
same pay Of day OF nine hours.
The system Of pay will be regulated.
wherever practicable the operators will be
required to pay by weight, instead Of by
the car, and elsewhere by the lineal yard.
The miners will have checking representa-
tives at their own expense. This will prae-
ticaly amount to a second increase in
wages.
There will be indirect recognition OF the
union, which will come when the findings
are submitted by President Roosevelt to
John Mitchell, as president OF the miners
union.
The causes Of the strike as found by
the commission will not be comforting tc
the coal mining companies.
The boycott will be condemned and the
principle will be laid down that miner
has a right to work without molestation
even though he does not belong to the
union.
The terms Of the verdict are to hold
good for three years. and recommendation
are to be made for settlements OF other
questions at the end OF that period.
In local disputes the operators will bC
advised to treat with committees of the
miners and there may be a suggestion
for a local board Of arbitration.

BIG PAY AIDS AMERICA
Drives German Goods from Market
and sends German Clerks 10
CompetitOrs' stores.

BERLIN. March 6.-Export, a trade pa
per devoted to extending German foreign
trade publishes a series of articles on the
methods by which American goods are sup
planting German goods in foreign markets.
The articles consist largely OF letters from
Germans living in Mexico, Venezuela, Fra
I'll and Australia.
The writer's explain that German houses
are being beaten because they are unwilling
to guarantee agents fixed salaries, as Amer
leans do, and also because they depend on
sending out catalogues. whereas Americans
keep stocks of goods in established agen-
cies. where buyers are able to purchase
after seeing the goods. German agents, 1t
is added, are largely taking service with
American houses because Of the better
terms offered them.
Export urges the German manufacturers
to abandon their 'penny-wlse. pound fool
ish policy" and give their agents decent
fixed salaries so as to enable them to with
stand the iattering offers Of the American
competitors, adding:
This Is all the more important since
American competition in the worlds 8 mar
ket will evidently grow keener during tht
next ten years.

NO BOUNTY FOR GERMAN SUGAR
Government Refuses 10 Copy Austria
( and Rum Risk of United
States Action.

BERLIN, March 6.--The sugar producers
Of Germany want the government to intro
duce the Austrian system Of allotting to
renneries and raw factories the amount Of
sugar they may produce yearly.
Count Won Camman interpellated the gov
ernment in the Reichstag today on what it
intends to do for the sugar industry in
view of Austria's action. He said Austrian
sugar would enjoy an advantage in the
American and British markets unless Ger
many adopted the allotment system.
Treasurer Secretary Won Theilmann, in
announcing that the government did not
approve the allotment plan, said it was
highly probable that the United States GUS
toms authorities would carefully examine
the new status OF Austrian sugar after Sep
tember and decide that it enjoys an indi-
rect bounty under the double allotment
system, as in the case Of Russia's indirect
bounty.
