THE STRIKE DECISION.

THE MOST IMPORTANT piece Of
4 news in yesterdays papers was the
report Of the anthracite strike arbi-
tration commission. There win be
difference Of opinion as 20 which side
has won the victory, for the report
seems 20 be ia the nature OF COM
promise. No one win doubt, however.

tiaI gain.

an increase Of 10 per cent in their

the handsome sum of 50. 900, 900 as a be-
ginning The commission recommends
the withdrawal of the coal and iron
police, another point contended for by
the attorneys for the union miners on
the theory that these police fomented
anarchy and disorder in the anthracite
region.
The hours Of labor for engineers,
fremen and other workers are short
ened, while their wages are not pro-
portiouately reduced. The commission
places itself on record against child
labor and in favor OF the employment

honestly measured. The tribute paid
by the commission TO the officials Of the
union is noteworthy and thoroughly de-
served. 1t says:

organization which began and CON

ident. condemned all violence and ex-
horted their followers to sobriety and
moderation. The mine work

The non-recognIuon of the union is
unimportant. The tacit acknowledge
ment Of the report that the union was
responsible for the settlement and the
words Of praise for the union leaders,
Is recognition enough. More. it is an
indication that future troubles in the

Through union mediums.

AN ALERT TAX DoDeER.

NEW YORK CITY'S milliOnaires have
" attained considerable unenviable
notoriety by reason Of their eageness
70 avoid taxation, but the most fla
grant case Of this kind came to light
recently. Mrs. Teresa Oelrichs went
before the taXgatherer in the metrop-
oils the other day and swore that she
should not be taxed because she was
"a resident of San Francisco. Her as
sessment for personality, which was
nos far from $1OOO,O OO was thereupon
wiped of the books.
But that is only part Of the story.
Last year Mrs. Oelrichs went before
the San Francisco authorities and es-
capped taxation there on the plea. made
under oath. that she was a resident of
New York. The San Francisco affidavit
was laid before the New York author
tiles; no denial Of it was made by the
parties in interest. but no action was
taken. 1t looks, therefore, as II Mrs.
Oelrichs would escape any taxation
whatever on her personal property.
There have been other cases almost
as bad. and it is small wonder that
the small property owner. who has
nothing that can be concealed, should
raise his voice in vigorous protest. The
system is unfair. unjust and a breeder
Of anarchy. If the men who own the
bulk Of the taxable wealth Of the coun-
try could be forced TO make fair re-
turns, the result would be such a re-
duction Of taxation as would make life
worth living in any community.

preach to her hearts content. Why
shouldn't she preach If the spirit moves
her? We have women speakers on ev-
cry subject under the sun. Out here
in Utah the women go on the political
stump and advise the voters as TO the
casting Of their ballots. They are elect
ed to legislatures and they have no
hesitation in telling their colleagues
what laws should be passed and what
laws should be killed
IL Is difficult for reasonable people 70
see how anybody can be hurt by the
woman preacher. She has almost no
possibilities for accomplishing bad re-
suits, while her possibilities for good
are manifold. The woman preacher is
still enough Of a novelty to attract at
tention. Many sinners may be drawn
TO church to hear them out Of curiosity;
many who come to scoff may remain TO
pray. Let the woman preacher, there
fore. go on her way ungagged and re-
joicing.
The average woman win talk any
way, somewhere or somehow, and she
might as well talk from the pulpit as
from anywhere else. The view that
women should not be ordained as min
listers is a narrow view. The law Of
the survival Of the dttest Will govern
in their case as in all others. Those
who are really able viii meet the test
while the weaker sisters viii fall by the
wayside as in every vocation of life.
If Mrs. Bennett is inaugurating
crusade for the woman preacher she
may count on such help as The Herald
is able to give her. We are perfectly
willing for her to have the first word
"a well as the last Through such phi
losOphy a good deal of worry viii be
saved, especially as the result will be
the same in the end whether we worry
or not. The woman always wins, soon
er or later, i'm civilized countries, and
she will win here.
