a thing of the past in Mitchell. AL
though often disguised by features in
tended to bring them within the scope
of the law, the punch board and its
near relatives are really gambling de-

$4,000 had been paid by spectators
at the game. A dozen stores were af-

. Commission.

Washington. Nov. 30.--Government
officials who have been keeping in
close touch with the Colorado strike
situation were hopeful today that there
would be no repetition Of the present
troubles in the Colorado coal fields as
the result of the action of President
Wilson in naming commission to deal
with such controversies. The COM
mission Is composed OF Seth Low, OF
New York; Charles w. Mills. of Phil
adelphia. and Patrick Gilday, of Clear
field, Pa. All OF them have been
prominently identified with the settle
ment of labor troubles
The commission will not deal with
the present differences between the OPP
orators and miners, but will attempt TO
settle similar diputes in the future,
Efforts to bring about settlement OF
the present strike by an agreement
between operators and minrs, 1t Is an
nounced, will be continued by the fed
eral mediators who have been en-
deavoring for some time to adjust the
controversy. They are Hywel Dawes
and w. r. Farley.
The president, in statement an
nouncing the appointment of the com
mission, reviews in detail the various
steps taken by the federal govern
ment to bring about settlement of the
present trouble. He then expresses
the hope that the parties TO the con-
troVersy will make use OF the COM

miners, but rejected by the operators,

disappointed that they should have

after all that has occurred"
The president then says that he de-

that similar troubles may be amicably
settled in the future.
