day addressed letter to Governor f.

In tho Mingo county coal fields. In

MIR. Keeney offered six recommen-
dations. including a proposed joint

II presume that there Ia little uues-
ton that the contendins parties can

said in his letter.
His recommendations follow:
That tho Williamson Coal operst-
ors association shall agree:
First. that all employees return to
work, and that there shall he no dis
elimination against any cmploye be-
longing TO a labor union.
Second. the establishment OF an
classes in and around the mines.
Third. the semi-monthly payday.
Fourth. that the employees have
the right to trade where they please.
Fifth. that employees shall have
tho right to select check-we'ghmen
aa provided by law. and that 1000
hounds shall constitute a ton.
sixth. that there shall be Joint
commission consisting OF five repres-
ontatives Of each side for the purpose
of adjusting wages Of all men work
ing in and around the mines. deter
mine the mining prices and ysrdage.
etc, and to endeavor to arrive at an
equitable competitive basis. and to
provide rules and methods for the
adjustment OF disputes between en-
ployers and employees. In order TO
avoid any failure to agree a board of
arbitration consisting of three mem
bers shall be created. one to be
chosen by the operators and one by
tho employees and these two to select
tho third member. who shall be a
non resident of this state. The board
Of arbitrators shall meet with the

The findings of tho commission
