The indianapolis Sentinel. the dem
ocratic organ of Indiana says: Mr..
Jerome's criticism of Mr.. Carnegie, to
the effect that the workingmen would
be better off with fewer libraries and
more wages, might be accepted if it
were a choice between the two, but
the weakness of the proposition lies in
the fact that Mr.. Carnegie did not
make his money by cutting down
wages. He paid as high wages as
others, on the average.

The republican senators give several
reasons why the Cuban treaty was
amended and nullified, the chief be-
ing that otherwise it could not have
been ratified. Mr.. Hansbrough, who
keeps tally on the republican side. de-
clares that they didn't have thelvotes
to ratify it, and we're at least three
and probably five votes short Of the
necessary two-thirds majority. He
canyassed the senate several times.
and counting all the doubtful votes in
favor of the treaty there was at no
time two-thirds in its favor. This
situation, it is explained, was due to
several reasons, chiefly to the deter
initiation of Mr.. Gorman and other
democrats that the president should
not have the credit of winning the
long fight be has made irLfavor OF
Cuban reciprocity. In the second
place, Mr.. German and the democrats
are determined to provoke general

recognized that Cuban reciprocity was
the mist favorable wedge they could
secure for opening that issue.

Binding On Both Parties !.

There will be some curiosity to see
to what extent and how faithfully
both the operators and miners will ac-
cept the findings of the anthracite
coal commission. Will both parties
accept them in good faith and en-
deavor to give full effect to the mean
ing. and intent of the commission, or
will they, by Juggling. try to evade. or
defeat such features as they do not
like? AS far as men can be honorably
bound to accept the decision of any
board of arbitration and carry it out
IN good faith both parties are so bound
in this case. 1t has been more than
five months since the commission was
appointed, and the public may have
forgotten the circumstances of its
origin. II was appointed by President
Roosevelt after conferences with repre-
sentatives of the operators and the
miners, in which he succeeded in get
ting them to agree to this course and
to submit all the points in controversy
to a commission he should appoint.
The proposition came from the opera
tors, ard in their statement to the
public they said:
"We suggest commission to be ap-
pointed by the President of the Unit
ed States to whom shall be referred all
questions at issue between the re-
spective companies and their own EN-
ployes, whether they belong to union
or not, but the decision of that CON-
mission shall be accepted by US. /"
The proposition was accepted by
Mr.. Mitchell subject to the approval
of the miners convention, and this
was given. In his dispatch to the
President announcing the fact Mr..
Mitchell said: 1--WE have decided to
accept the proposition and submit ali
questions at issue between the opera
tors and mine workers of the anthra-
cite coal region for adjustment to the
commission which YOU haye named. :"
Thus the submission OF the questions
at issue to arbitration was complete
on both sides, and the findings OF the
commission are equally binding on
both. journal.

Labor Leaders Claim Victory. but Report
Is Hostile to the Unions.

Although substantial victory for
the anthracite coal miners is claimed
by labor leaders as the result of the
coal commission appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt last October and made
public Saturday, the dicta of the re-
port may be accepted as hostile to
union labor. After ordering an adj
vance in miners wages ranging from
10 to 20 per cent. based upon current
coal prices. reducing hours of labor
and awarding back wages amounting
to $4,000, 900, the commission in its
report refuses to recognize the United
Mineworkers OF America, expressly
denies the right of labor organiza-
tion to abridge the freedom of non-
union men to sell their labor in the
open market and caustically arraigns
subordinate heads of the miners
union as we'll as the miners them
selves for lawlessness and coercion in
connection with the anthracite coal
strike.
The commission says: "Our lam
guage is the language of free people
and fails to furnish any form of speech
by which the right of a citizen to
work when he pleases, for whom he
pleases and on what terms he pleases
can be successfully denied"
According to the miners counsel all
the awards made by the commission
represent net gains to the miners, al
though it is admitted that President
Baer offered at one time to fix the
minimum wage scale on the basis of
s. coal. The commission fixed this
basis at $3.50.
Under the commission awards
miners not working by the day, month
or year will be granted an advance in
wages of 10 per cent and miners
working by the day, month or year
will be granted nine-hour instead of
a ten-hour day. The wages of the
former class, it is figured, will be ad-
vanced 124 per cent. as they, too.
have been granted nine-hour in
stead of ten-hour day. Firemen and
engineers under the decision of the
Gray commission are given an eight
hour instead of twelve-hour day and
the wages Of some of these employees
have been advanced.
In addition to general advance of
10 per cent in most instances and a
decrease in working hours the COM
mission recommends the settlement
of all disputes by arbitration and pro-
vides a minimum wage with sliding
scale. Provision is also made against
discrimination Of persons either by
mine owners or miners on account of
membership or nonmembership in a
labor union, and it is provided that
the awards Of the commission shall be
in force until March 81, 1905. The
miners having worked 120 days since
Nov, i, 1902, it is estimated that back
pay due them will reach nearly 50, OO0,-
900 and that advanced wages will
amount approximately to IS, 600, 900 a
year.

miners themselves, and goes on virtu-

even more than the public or the in

system to be built by the city in the hill
district. The work would have begun
yesterday but the pipe did not arrive
until last evening and then only two car
loads came. Seven and one half miles
of pipe will be laid in bitches from ten to
twenty-four feet deep. This improve
ment will furnish employment for many
men this fall after the harvest is ended
Mayor Kress has been very anxious to
have the sewer installed. In his opinion
the improvement is an important one as
it is necessity in order to preserve the
health of the people. The residents of
the hill portion of town have, in the past.
been digging cess pools for sewer pur-
pose. Pollution will rise from these
death pits and containmate the air spread

sent city government is sewers first. then
