Arbitration a SUCCESS.

Before the American Mining Con
gress in Pittsburg recenu-, the Hon.
Carroll D Wright, United States
Commissioner of Labor for twenty
years and member of the Anthracite
Strike Commission of 1902. presented
a pape- dealing with he arbitration of
disputes between labor and capital.
A considerable part the paper had
to 90 with the coal STRIKE of 1902 AMI
the peace which has prevailed in the
anthracite region most of the time
since that year. It will be recalled
that Co7oiliation Board was estab.
lished b. the Strike Commission. In
speaking of this Board Mr. Wright
said
During the drst three years var
lous questions arose relative to the in
depreciation of the award. extra de-
mands of miners etc These were re.
tered to the Cancellation Board the
results of whose decision was accented
by the miners and operators. Several
questions, perhaps fifteen or twenty.
We're referred to the umpire. and in
every instance the decisions of the
umpire was accepted by both parties
and faithfully ahided By. During the
second three years of the award
which became a voluntary agreement
by action in March 1906. there has
been little for the Cancellation Board
to do, and so far as information goes
the affairs of the anthracite region
have been running along smoothly and
with fair satisfaction to ali parties
The result of the award of the com
mission appointed by the President
put several millions of dollars into the
hands of the miners which they would
not have received otherwise. ,lr.
Wright added that the sliding scale
has worked satisfactorily and the
whole result has been beneficial in the
extreme. Tie public has had full con
fldence that mining operators would
90 forward and the whole benefit of
arbitration has been realized.

Advertising that appeals to women
readers of newspaper has a peculiar
value that makes it a result-bringer
beyond expectations. Usually The
women are the real buyers in a home.
Mark Twain once said as to the differ,

When a man goes to buy a collar.
lie comes pack with collar and per-
haps a necktie or two. When Wom-
an starts out to buy collar she re-
