Suggests Commission
to Take Up Question
in Miners Company

Chicago, Dec. 6.-Governor Frank
o. Lowden, of Illinois, last night
telegraphed Fuel Administrator
Garfield at Washington, suggesting
immediate appointment of the COM
mission proposed by DIR. Garfield to
take up consideration of the miners
wage question in an effort to settle
the strike.
Governor Lowden's telegram to
DR.. Garfield said
LAS I understand it from press
reports, at the time you proposed
a fourt cen per cent increase in the
wages of the miners, such increase
being based upon the evidence you
then had before you, it was also
proposed to create a commission
which should take up the whole sub
iect of settlement between the min
ers and the operators. ] assume If
such commission should find four
teen per cent not sufficient to cover
the increased cost of living, the
miners wages would be increased
accordingly.
The secretary of labor is re-
ported to have said that thirty
per cent would be required to cover
the increase. Why would it not now
be possible and consistent for. such
commission to be appointed, COM
posed of high grade men, to ascer-
tain the exact facts? 1t might well
be that the figure ascertained by
that commission would be some
where between the two figures above
quoted. In any event, the public
would know what justice required"

Constitution Board
Meets on Tuesday

Prominent men from many coun-
ties of Penslvania will be here next
Tuesday to witness the opening of
the State Constitutional Revision
Commissions sessions, which will
continue throughout the winter and
are expected to produce drafts of
numerous changes to the organic
law of the State for consideration of
the next Legislature. While the
Commission will have authority to
recommend any revisions or omis-
sops that it pleased, the indications
are that it will not make any Sug-
gestions for wholesale changes and
that it will not recommend alteration
of the scheme of government, but
deal only with such clauses as have
been criticised or which are consid-
cred as out of date and likely to
hamper the future development of
the Commonwealth and its municipal
divisions.
Opening of the sessions will be a
formal affair. Presence of men who
sat in the constitutional convention
of 1873, State officials, judges, legis-
lators and others interested in public
affairs, is expected. There will be
no cards of admission and the sit
tings of the Commission will be open
to the public. Its organization and
procedure will be determined early
in the first days work. Attorney
General William /. Schnffer, one of
the foremost students of the consti-
tuition and an authority upon the
history of law, will be the chairman.
Pennsylvania's plan of revising its
has attracted consider
able attention in other, states and the
deliberations of the Commission will
be closely followed.
