Important Features.

OF the report are given herewith
The fourth and last demand OF the
miners was the Incorporation in an
agreement between the United Mine
Workers OF America ami the anthracite
coal companies OF the wages 10 be paid.
the conditions Of employment which

for the adjustment of grievances. Upon
this point the report says. in part
The commission is constrained to de-
cline making an award which would
compel an agreement by the operators
with the United Mine Workers of
America. for however important that
order may have participated in tho
strike. a. is not a party 70 this sub
mission. Nor does the commission con
slider that the question or the recog-
milton OF the United Mine Workers OF
America Is within the scope OF the juris-
diction conferred upon il by the sub
mission.
whatever the jurisdiction Of this
commission under the submission may
be- the suggestion Of a working agree
ment between employers and employees
embodying the doctrine OF collective
bargaining Is one which the commission
believes contains many hopeful elements
for the adjustment OF relations IN the
mining regions. but Il does not see that.

which the powers OF the commission
are derived such an agreement can be
made 10 take the place OF. or become

The Only Way TO Cure.

In most chronic diseases the only way to cure is
TO strengthen the inside nerves
Remedies that merely doctor the weak organs
may seem 70 bring brief benefit. But real re-
suits come only when we restore the inside nerves
This is the which operates the vital or
gans And no weak organ do its duty until that
nerve power back
MY restorative does that-always. I have spent
Ietlme in perfecting il for just this one pur-
pose II treats a weak organ YOU would treat a
weak engine-by giving ii power. II does all
that is needed. and does that which must be done
whether the trouble is or severe.
