instructed the men to return to the
mines Immediately, we're supplemented
to-day by circulars prepared by inter
national officials of the union, explain
ing in detail the action of the general
committee yesterday, the basis on
which the strike was settled, and reit-
Grating the instructions to resume
work Immediately These circularswere
mailed to the locals.
All sides in the controversy Just end
ed were highly satisfied to-day with
the agreement reached by the general
committee of the miners in their ses-
sions here yesterday. The miners were
especially pleased with the idea of ap-
pointment of commission, composed
of one miner, one operator and third
member not affiliated with either side,
to investigate wages and coal prices
and fix both at figures which they deem
reasonable This commission under the
plan will be appointed by the presi-
dent, the miners in the meantime to
receive an advance Of IA per cent in
wages over the scale paid to the strike.
One feature with which the miners
expressed satisfaction provides for set
tlement by the commission of internal
questions peculiar to each district. This,
the coal workers believe, will go far
toward elimination Of dilferentials in
wages, which have been the cause of
much dispute for years.
