A strike among 10000 miners in Scranton,
Pa, may be averted a result of a de-
cision reached last week by Commissioner
Carroll D. Wright as umpire in disputes
between the Pennsylvania coal miners and
the mine operators. The umpire's decision
was on the clause in the anthracite award
relative to the employment and payment of
the check-weighfng and check docking
bosses in favor of the union miners
Three coal companies had refused to de-
duct the wages of these bosses from the
wages of the miners unless each miner
made a personal assignment of the portion
of his earnings necessary to make ND the
wages of the bosses. The union workers
were willing to make this assignment but
were afraid that non-union men were not
and that this division would prevent the
proper collection of the wages. President
Nichols thereuron, after postponing the
threatened strike, submitted the question to
Umpire Wright.
Mr. Wright sustains the companies and
declares they have perfect right to in
sist upon personal assignment He also
sustains the miners by declaring that
where majority of the men wish the col

clinches the decision in favor Of the miners
by declaring that the refusal of any miner

"Newspaperdom" Discloses a Few
 Facts Regarding The Republican.

The Republican seldom boasts of it's circulation or of the volume of the business it does. The people within this jurisdiction pretty we'll under stand the value of the Republican as an advertising medium anyhow. Of its news service the paper itself is the best evidence.
 Now and then though, the Republi-. can cannot very well avCfd saying something favorable of itself One Of these occasions has just arisen. Re- gently two men in Georgia engaged in a dispute about Arizona newspaper cir culations. They decided to leave the matter to the editor of Newspaper dom" one of the best authorities on all things relating to the newspapers of this country. They accordingly ad- dressed to "Newspaperdom' the fol- lowing letter:
 Savannah, Ga, Jan. ?. "To the Editor of Newspaperdom:
 [" "A says there are several newspa- pers in Arizona with over 5000 circu- lation. B says there is none of 5000. Which is correct?
 JAMES DONIS."
 This is "Newspaperdoms reply:
 There is but one newspaper In Ari- zona with definite rating. The PhoS- nix Republican has in the neighbor- hood of 5000 actual circulation. It is, likewise, Arizonas best newspaper. T. Editor.
 Not long ago the Mesa correspond cnt of the Republican paper writing to this paper describing one of the new rural routes in that neighborhood said that there were 1GO letter boxes on it and he added that into, seventy three there were put copies of the Re publican every morning.
 It is not likely that any other paper in the country can boast of having such large circulation as that accord ing to the population of the neighbor- hood. It certainly is not likely that any other newspaper in the United States fills it's whole field so nearly full as the Republican fills Arizona. Six thousand subscribers in a sparsely set tied territory is some thing to be proud of. The greater part of this number of course is circulated in the Salt river valley and in Phoenix where the pro- portion of subscribers to the whole number of reading families is not far below the proportion on that Mesa rural route.

He would have left sooner only that the train service was not convenient. The kaiser was enjoying Christmas, and MT Bryan could not wait for an interview.

 But I want to go to the Grand hotel, Brussels!" exclaimed MT. Bryan. The cabman named a sum of several hundred francs that he would charge for the work. MT. Bryan thought he was being imposed upon. It took a long time to explain to him that he was not in Brussels.
 Finally the real Brussels was reach ed, and MT. Bryan, after gazing long and emotionally over the field of Wa terloo, returned to London.
