Proposed Commission.

81 therefore proposed the creation
of a commission whose findings would
be binding upon both parties. The
representatives of the miners on the
scale committee declined TO accept
the suggestion until it had been sub
mitted 10 a convention of the United
Mine Workers of Districts /, Z and 9.
In that convention by vote of the
men direct from the mines a resolu-
ton was adopted accepting the propo-
sition and solemnly obligating tie
mine workers to abide by the award.
By all the laws of honor upon which
civilization rests. that pledge should
be fulfilled. ANY intimation that the
anthracite mine workers will refuse
to work under the award because IL
does not grant them all that they had
expected is a reflection upon the sin

backbone Of the community in which
they reside. Collective bargaining

When It is considered that silver

be seen that Uncle Sam made a huge
profit on them.
This kind OF profit by coinage Is
down from a period when the lord
