REPORT GIVEN TO THE PRESIDENT The Seal* Adraactd Tan Par Cant. ?Shorter Hoars of Labor Granted? Coal Hereafter to Bo Chocked and tfolffhed ? Conanlaaioa Flee Hon t be Arriving at a DoeUloa. Washington. D. C.?After five months of arduous labor in taking testimony, visiting the mine region*, and preparing their report, the member* of the Coal Strike Arbitration Committee, appointed by President Roosevelt, tiled with the President unanimous reeotnmendatlons and their tituil report. Judge (Jray. who was Chairman of the Commission, and Carroll 1>. Wright, the Recorder, went to rhe White House. Informed the President thut their Labors were done, and placed the report In his hands. The President thereupon luvited aU the members of the Commission to dinner in the White House. Although the Commission's report had not been made publie, enough was known of its recommendation* to |iermlt a review of Its material feature's, j Not only is an increase of ten per cent. in wages granted to the miners, but 1 new regulations in weighing the coal. It is said, will really make the Increase much larger, as they will preclude the men from being compiled to mine more than a ton of coal and getting paid only for a ton, as now prevails. Ti.i* <t?imiiniiit of th?? welching sys torn In vogue at the mines has been considered carefully by the Commission, and It is understood that it In agreed that the miner*' complaint in that connection was well founded. Another point decided hy the Commission Is that the mining operators must fix a day's work at eight hours for every miner. The miners also gain another point of contention in lielng recognized with checkers of their own for the coal as mined. By a system of dockage the miners assert the o{>erators heretofore have overhurdehed the workmen with rebates, which materially reduced their actual income. So the real issue mined by the plners when they went on strike is granted by the Commission. Less work, more pny and less interference and partiality oil the part of mining operators sums up this feature or the commissions n'jton. me nport also contains n provision, it Is said, for llie settlement of all future troubles between the miners and tlio operators, by adjudication by a committee of the two parties to the controversy. In this provislou it is understood tbe Miners' Union is Indirectly recognized, and this again is regarded as a victory for President Mitchell and organized labor. On tbe other hand, however, the Commissioners rebuke the boycott Instituted by organized labor against miners who do not belong to their union. Tbe general principle is enunciated that every man has an unalienable right to work wherever he can find it. if he is in need, and tliat uo other man has a right to interfere with or molest him in obtaining the necessities of life for himself and his family by honest toil. While the boycott and the bitter temper exhibited by the union miners against the non-union uieu are cited as having caused a share of the disorder and personal Injury sustained during the strike, the coal operators do not escape censure for having been also a party to these disturbances by the wretched methods which they have allowed to exist In the mining regions, and the severe treatmeut of the miners In their employ. Company stores and company houses are rebuked and a lietter feeling of "live and let live" Verom mended for the consideration of the coal capitalists. The conditions seen by the Commis* sinners in the mining regions also are discussed, ana suggestions ior iun juui* vidual and home benefit of the miners are recommended. The President's Instruction* to the Commission when appointed required that it should investigate also "the causes out of which the <?ontroversy arose."- In presrntinjr its view of these causes the Commission doe* not spare the coal operators, and it is believed that this will be the most severe censure upon the operator*. The Commission's report throughout is based on the Itellef of its member* tuat the miners did have serious grievances, which the operators should have satisfled instead of refusing to arbitrate. President Mitchell, who. it is understood. had gained a good understanding of what the Commission recommends, is said to be well rotisfled with the report. He will lw? recognized, or rather the Miners' I'nlon of which he is the President will be. by the President, who will send him a copy of the report, as binding upon the miners iu the anthracite region.
