Newspaper Guess at the Findings of
the Arbiters Who Investigated the

NEW YORK, March 5.-The Herald

findings of the coal-strike commission ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt, which, IL

within a week:
There will undoubtedly be at least 10

same rate for 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 check docking represen-
tatives, at their own expense. This will
practically amount to a second increase in
wages.

are submitted by President Roosevelt to
John Mitchell. as president of the Miners
Union.
1.-The causes of the strike, as found by the
commission, will not be comforting to the
coal-mining companies. The boycott will
be condemned, and the principle will be laid
down that a miner has right TO work
without molestation, even though he does
not belong to the union.
1.-The terms of the verdict are to hold

other questions at the end of that period

out the great increase since 1885 in rail-

In the exports of the country, and the do
mestic manufactures, and said: These
figures tell the story of the difference be-
tween low and high tariffs more eloquently
and convincingly than tongue of orator
could possibly do, and they furnish
the highest possible tribute to the wisdom
and craftsmanship of the great Republican
party. And yet" he said, I'VE have Demo-
cratic discomfort and in certain quarters
more or less Republican unrest The Demo
cratic cry is going up for a revision of the
tariff, and ever and anon we hear the faint
voice of the Iowa idea borne in on the
breeze. Both voices are those of political
sirens to follow which will lead to newt
able economic ruin. AS an illustration we
are told that reciprocity with Canada is
duty that we should not neglect. Under eX-
listing conditions she buys largely from US,
more than she sells-precisely the condi-
ton that we should desire. But there are
those who loudly clamor for a reciprocal
arrangement that would necessarily benefit
Canada and injure the United States. What
utter folly that would be.
Let us stand for our own country against
the world, upholding the policies that will
best subserve our own interests by building
up American industries, fostering American
agriculture and selling to the nations of the
world more than we buy from them That
is the true policy, the American policy. the
policy of the Republican party. AS TO the
revision of the tariff, the Republican party
will attend to that in due time, and the re-
vision will be made not according to Demo-
cratic ideas, but in consonance with the
principles of the party which has always
legislated for the best interests of the peo-
pie of the United States. We have enough
experiences with tariffs for revenue only"

THE MICHIGAN CLUB.
Senator Gallinger on 'Patriotism and
Protection"-Victory for Graeme
Stewart at Chicago.

DETROIT, Mich, March 6.-Judge Frank
A. Hooker, of Charlotte, was tonight re-
nominated for justice of the Supreme Court
of this State for term of ten years by the
Republican state convention, at the storm
lest meeting held in this State since the
Grand Rapids convention that nominated
Governor Bliss in 1898. Seven candidates
were in the field against Judge Hooker,
and the convention was stampeded during
the taking of the sixth ballot in the inter-
est of Judge Edward d. Kinne, of Ann Ar
Dor. but the seventh ballot gave a large
majority to Judge Hooker. For regents
of the University of Michigan the cenven-
ton nominated Peter White, of Marquette,
and Loyal E. Knappen, Of Grand Rapids.
The following platform was adopted:
I'VE, the Republicans of Michigan, in
judicial convention assembled, reaffirm our
allegiance to the principles and policies of
the Republican party. We cordially indorse
the patriotic, courageous and wise policy
of the President, Theodore Roosevelt, and
hereby renew our pledge of support and
our expression of confidence in him and his
administration. We congratulate the peo-
pie of Michigan on the election of the en-
tire Republican state ticket last fall and
on the economical administration of state
affairs under Governor Aaron T. Bliss.
1--WE glory in the national fame of Mich
igan's Supreme Court and In its continued
strength and probity.
I'VE commend our great State University
to the continued support of confidence and
esteem of the people
Resolved. That it is the sense of this
convention that a general primary election
law should be enacted for the entire State
of Michigan"
Senators Alger, Foraker and Gallinger
attended the convention. Mr.. Alger was
called on for a speech at the conclusion of
the address of Temporary Chairman Wede-
meyer. He spoke very briefly, however.
merely thanking the delegates for their
warm welcome. and Immediately introduced
Senator Gallinger, of New Hampshire.
Senator Gallinger spoke highly of General
Alger's services TO his country and de-
clared himself proud to have been Senator
Alger's friend through adversely as well
as through his hours of triumph. Former
Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, addressed
the convention after Senator Gallinger,
closing his remarks with an eloquent eulogy
of the late President Mckinley that created
a tumult of applause.

GENERAL STRIKE Is ON
EMPLOYEES OF THE AMERICAN
BRIDGE COMPANY ARE IDLE.
Ordered to Quit Work by the Execu-
tive Board of the Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers.

PHILADELPHIA, March 6.-A general
pany has been called by the executive
board of the International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers. This
general order includes all construction
work in the hands of the company through
out the United States and Canada and in
wolves thousands of men in all sections.
When the order was received by House
smiths and Bridgemens Union No. 3, of
this city, strikes were called on all oper-
ations where American Bridge Company
iron was used in construction, although
the erecting contracts were I'm the hands
of general contractors who purchased the
iron from the American Bridge Company.
Frank Buchanan. general president of the
international union and another member
of the executive board, came to this city
last night. AS the result of conference
between representatives OF several con-
tractors and the business agents of the
local union. the men were ordered back TO
work to-day operations in this city not
being erected by the American Bridge
Company.
The American Bridge Company is said
to have large construction contracts at
many points. 1t is stated here that in
New York 800 men are idle, while Pitts
burg, Albany, Buffalo and St Louis are
said to be seriously affected.
The union has taken steps to prevent If
possible, the su5etting of construction
contracts.
NEW YORK, March e-An official of
the American Bridge Company said to-day:
This strike has been called without our
receiving any prior notice of any trouble
So far as we know the strike is in sympathy
with the hosting engineers and reports
from our foremen throughout the country
show that everything is tied up everywhere
in the country. We have always lived
up to their agreements with the men in
regard to the employment of union men,
but the unions have failed to supply us
with union men, The question for us to
decide now is whether to employ nom
union men or stop work. The organization
of the iron manufacturers does not con-
template any action against the interests
of the men. 1t does not intend to cut
wages or do anything unless driven to
some action by the men themselves"
