in Shamokin next December The re-

There is little doubt that they will

contracts regulating their dealings
with the mine owners. II is also likely
that they will demand a reduction in

wages I'm every department Of work.

what is the present condition of the

1T IS very strong" was the emphatic
reply. "Our organization has main

there are a large number Of men who
keep mp with their locals. but who are

In the strike Of 1900 we demanded
the abolition Of the sliding scale be.
cause there was no minimum set. The
men were constantly told that the price
was going down, and they had no right
to examine the books. Now, under the
new agreement, through the commits
sion. there Is u Minimum and the books
may be inspected by members OF the
commission at Washington"
"What are the special grievances Of
the men in the anthracite rcgionT
"The main thing here that demands
adjustment is the time Of labor. This
is a fundamental question Of trades I'M
ions all over the world as the demand
for an eight hour day Is universal The
bituminous miners work eight hours a
day; the anthracite miners work nine
hours They might continue TO do so II
other workers did not have eight hour
days. So long as this difference exists
there can be no contentment"

KEEP REPORT ISSUED.
Roosevelt Makes Public Printing
Onlce Inquiry.


Omce Inquiry.
OYSTER BAY, y. Y, Sept H.
President Roosevelt has made public
the report Of the Keep commission on
its recent investigation Of affairs IN
the government printing Office AT
Washington. The inquiry was made
by special direction Of the president
on account Of a protest which he had
received from officials Of the Mergen-
thnler Typesetting Machine company
against the award of a contract by
Public Printer Frank W. Palmer TO
the Lanston Monotypo company for
seventy-two machines Of its make.
by order Of the president the contract
with the Lanston company was held
up until an investigation could be made
with a view Of ascertaining whether
the charges Of fayoritism and corrup-
ton In the letting Of the contract were
substantially founded.
AS heretofore chronicled In these dis
patches, the president decided, after
an examination Of the Keep report
that the contract for the Lanston ma
chimes should stand The Keep com
mission reported that II the contract
could be set aside such a course would
be desirable" although the commits
sion states expressly that mo corrupt
consideration. payment or promise
passed from the Lanston Monotype
company to the public printer or to
any person IN the government service"
II was developed by the investga-
ton, however. that two important as
slstants of the public printer were in
directly interested in the LanstOn COM
pany, "tholr wives being stockholders
therein" The commission shows that
fair and impartial test Of the Ian
ston and MerRenthaler machines was
not made and reports that the pur-
chase Of 20 large a number Of Lanston
machines was "lmprovident' and in
dicated great partiality and bins on
the part Of the public printer" The
commission regards the purchase as
"maladminlstratiOn."

tions unless guarantees were given
