Denver.-The Industrial Commis-
sion made it's findings and recon-
mendations following the investiga-
ton into the grievances presented to
1t by the United Mine Workers em-
ployed by the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company. The commission recon-
mended that the scale of hand mining
in the mines of the C. F. & l. in the
Canon district be increased cents
per ton so that the scale in this dis
trict will equalize with the scale at
Walsenburg and Trinidad.
The commission found that all OF
the other grievances as presented by
the miners were trivial, unimportant
and not entitled to be classed as griev-
ances, and which could have been
promptly, easily and fairly adjusted
between the employees and the en-
ployers through the channels provided
by the company's industrial plan"
The commission finds that the
question of recognition of the union
is one with which the Industrial Com
mission has nothing to say, that the
scope of the commissions authority
is limited to the question of wages,
hours and working conditions"
1t charged the miners with bad
faith, from patriotic standpoint, in
demanding at such time the recog-
milton of the union as the only alter
native to declaring a strike, and con-
cluded that prior to May l, 1917, when
the controversy began, the average
daily wage of miners in the Fremont
district was equal to or slightly in
excess of the average daily wage paid
men in the employ of the company in
the Trinidad and Walsenburg districts.
With the exception of the grant of
the increase in wages in the Canon
district, the report finds for the oper-
ators all the way through.

Washington. - President Wilson
gave full Endorsement to woman sur-
frage as an issue in every state.
Addressing delegation of 100 lead
ers of the New York state woman
suffrage party who called at the
White House to obtain an expression
in support of the campaign in that
state, the President, in emphatic
terms, declared that woman suffrage
Is one of the fundamentals of democ-
racy whose proper settlement is de-
manded by the issues of the war. He
praised the spirit, capacity and vision
of American women in the war.
81 believe" he said, that just be-
cause we are quickened by the ques-
tions of this war we ought to be quick
ened to give this question of woman
suffrage immediate consideration"
Speaking as zone of the spokesmen
of a great party" he pledged his
hearty support and added:
81 want to speak for myself and
say that it seems to me that this is
the time for the states of this Union
to take this action.
Explaining his leaning toward suf-
frage as a state, rather than ma
tional issue, he said:
81 perhaps may be touched little
too much by the traditions of our pol
ltics-traditions which lay such ques-
tons almost entirely upon the states,
but | want to see communities declare
themselves quickened at this time
and show the consequences of the
luickening.
at is with great pleasure that l re-
ceive you. l esteem it a privilege to
do so. know the difficulties which
you have been working under in New
York state, so clearly set forth by
Mrs. Whitehouse, but, in my judg-
ment, those difficulties cannot be used
as an excuse by the leaders of any
party or by the voters of any party
for neglecting the questions which
you are pressing upon them, because,
after all, the whole world now is wit
Messing a struggle which goes deeper
and touches more of the foundations
Of the organized life of men than any
struggle that has ever taken place be-
fore, and no settlement of the ques-
tons that lie on the surface can sat
lsfy a situation which requires that
the questions which lie underneath
and at the foundation should also be
settled and settled right.
ut is almost absurd to say that the
country depends upon the women for
A large part of the inspiration of its
life. That is too obvious to say; but
it is now depending upon the women
also for suggestions of service which
have been rendered in abundance and
with the distinction of originality"
If New York and Ohio, where there
is to be a vote next month, defeat
suffrage, efforts may be centered on
the federal amendment pending before
Congress. A program will be deter
mined at the convention here Dec. IL.

by Herr Friedberg, leader of the

Herr F'riedberg was one Of several

own interests when with US it is a

must not prevent us from gaining
a peace that will satisfy German as
pirations and safeguard the world
from new and similar catastroph1es.
Paul Breitenbach, Prussian minis
ter of public works, who made a
speech along similar lines, said:
The gigantic events of the war
necessarily, affect state machinery.
The government and parliament must
come to an understanding and set
tlement but there can be no questio
that the entire state machinery needs
a fundamental change. We demand
that everybody do his utmost for the
fulfilment of his duty in order to
help our arms to victory"

CAREERS FOR
YOUNG MEN.

The death of Admiral Dewey CEN
trates attention on one of the great
naval careers of American history. AS
our young men read + the dramatic
story Of George Dewey,s life, with its
thrilling climax at Manila Bay a
great many Of them will be fired with
the ambition to enter this career. If
the United States should be drawn
into war, great many young men
now obscure would in day become
figures of history.
Those who long for money making
will not choose navy life. Republics
are ungrateful, and most Of our
heroes have never received much fl
nancial reward.
But there are many solid advan-
tages in a naval career. The strict
discipline Of these little Kingdoms on
shipboard produces a very self-con-
trolled and we'll ordered type Of char
acter. The navy men are alert mem
tally, and erect physically and moral
ly. Their drill makes them quick
thinkers. The possibility of war
makes them very brave and resolute
fellows. Any family with naval
officer among it's boys is prouderl of
him than of the money makers who
stay at home and enter business.
Naval officers say that the navy has
more democratic spirit than the
army The various grades of the
shipboard life meet in close quar-
tiers, and artificial distinctions could
not live long.
American sentiment had decided
that an increase of our navy is neces-
sary In these times Of world anarchy.
and we need many bright young fell
lows In our ships. They should note
that Dewey's great achievement was
not due to any luck or chance. but TO
the fact that he had prepared himself
for a historic emergency by a life of
indessant industry, study and. techni-
cal skill.
