4 LABOR LEADER.
Discusses the Report of the Com
 mission.

Indianapolis, March 21-S. II. Sexton, editor of the United Mine Workers Journal, commented on the strike com missions report as follows:
 There are parts Of the decision that will probably not suit the miners. The ten per cent can be taken, I suppose, as being in favor Of the miners. though percentages are great Gelusions. One Of the greatest points in favor of the miner is the recommendations for the withdrawal of the coal and iron police who are responsible for most of the trouble that occurs in the mining re- gions. The lessening of the working hours for engineers, firemen and other workers is a great point in favor of the miners.
 The ruling against child labor, the requirement. that the companies pay the laborers of the contract miners, the section in which the commission takes grounds against a compulsory aroitra- ton. for the employment oi check weighmen and the distribution and regulation of cars are favorable to the miners. The provision for creation of conciliation board to settle points Of disagreement will generally meet with the miners hearty approval.
 Though the commission does not re- quire the operators to recognize the miners organization in the organiza- ton of this board of conciliation, the recognition Of the organization is as- sured. The commission also suggests recognition of the organizat ton in
 several places. The decision itself rcoshlzes the organiza tion. These points at least are in favor of the min There is at least one roint in the de- clslon Tn faVor the operators and that
 IS the sliding scale based on the mark
 cts between Perth Amboy and Edge
 water. By the decision it seems that the operators may combine to c1,rtai,
 the production Of coal but the miners cannot without the consent Of the op- erators."

Almost to a man the employees signal corps have deserted their work and started for the new fields.
 The fever has infected the enlisted men of the corps, and undoubtedly there would have been many assertions could the men have made sure of get ting out of the country without being arrested.
