SHOWS THE NEED OF CON-
PuLsoRY ARBITRATION.

Unless same extraordinary power

some 600, 900 coal miners next April.
If the struggle should come it Will
mean an immense amount of suffer

miners, the loss Of millions OF dollars
by the operators and a general in
crease in the price of coal that will
be felt by every section Of the
country
1t is undeniable that in such con-
flict public sympathy will be in
general way with the miners. john
Mitchell the President of the United
Mine Workers is one of the most
level-headed labor leaders in the
world, and his course in counselinS

Mitchell conceded that conditions
made it necessary. and his influence
prevailed with the miners.
He now insists that conditions have
improved and that the operators can

employers did not deny the statements
OF Mitchell, but sought to divert at
tentian to other points in the miners
demands Mitchell stated, however,
that the crucial point was the matter
of wages, and it will generally be be-
lieved that had the operators shown
a disposition to restore the old wage
scale an agreement could have been
reached on the other points.
The situation again brings promi-
nently before us the necessity of some

should be a great coal strike, how
ever, the public would suffer more
than from any probable overcharge Ly
railroad companies. 1t seems strange
therefore, that the authorized repr !.

the right to step in and say that dis

There is alarm among the managers
of insurance companies doing business
IN Virginia. The Cation insurance bill
is the cause of the dismay. In the final
rush to speed the bill through, an
amendment put upon it by the Senate
escaped the notice of all but a few Of
those interested in the measure. The
amendment prohibits surety companies
from going on the bonds of its patrons
to an extent greater than 10 per cent. OF
its capital and surplus. The effect will
be a severe blow to the majority of the
surety and bonding companies doing
business in this State. The amendment
passed the House unchalenged, having
escaped notice.

The membership must have been COM
posed largely of EpiscOpalians, for they
did many things they should not have
done and left undone many things they
should have done, and there was little
health in many of them. Some excel

respects offset by the evil done and the
State in all probability would have been
none the worse off had the session not
been held. This was most extrava-

was a full treasury, but measures were
passed which it is feared will turn the
surplus into a deficit within short time.
The entire appropriations made will ag-
gregate 80, SlS, 900, or over two millions
more than has ever been appropriated
by any other legislature in Virginia.
Much time was spent and lost IN at

sible in the extreme and many other
measures adopted can be placed IN the
same category. Out of the one hundred

done by less than forty men, the other:

biennially aud for but sixty days at a

number of the casualties in the great
mine disaster there on Saturday, give
the figures as between 200 and l, 300.
1t is probable that the exact number Of
those who lost their lives there will
never be known, owing TO the fact that
bodies were destroyed by the fire which
rushed through the mine.
