That is to say, if there shall be a division of the whole region into three districts, in each of which there shall exist an organization representing a majority of the mine work ers of such district, one of board of conciliation shall be appointed by each of said organizations and three other persons shall be appointed by the operators. the operators in each of said districts appointing one person.

' 7. In all cases where miners are paid by the car, the increase awarded to the ^ contract miners is based upon the cars * in use, the topping required and the J rates paid per car which were in force 2 on April 1, 1902. Any increase in the j size of car, or in the topping required, * shall be accompanied by a proportionf ate increase in the rate paid per car. t 8. The following sliding scale of wages shall become effective April 1. 1903. and shall affect all miners and mine workers included in the award of the commission: The wages fixed in the awards shall be the basis of, and the minimum under, the sliding scale. For increase of 5 cents in the average price of white ash coal or sizes above pea coal, sold at or near New York bet tween Perth Amboy and Edgewater and reported to the bureau of anthra[ cite coal statistics, above $4.50 per ton [ f. o. b. the employes shall have an in. crease of 1 per cent, in their compensaj tion which shall continue until change in the average price of said coal works . a reduction or on increase in said additional compensation hereunder; but , the rate of compensation shall in no | case be less than that fixed in the award. That is. when the price of said ' coal reaches S4.55 per ton, the conipcn\ sation will be increased 1 per cent., to > continue until the price falls below ' $4.55 per ton. when the 1 per cent, in| crease will cease, or until the prices 1 reaches $4.60 per ton. when an additional 1 per cent, will be added, and so | on. These average prices shall be j computed monthly, by an accountant or commissioner, named by one of the l' circuit Judges of the third judicial cir. cult of the United States, and paid by L the coal operators, euch compensation , as the appointing Judge may fix, which [ compensation shall be distributed among the operators in proportion to I the tonnage of each mine. In order to , secure the successful working of the I eliding scale provided herein, it is also , adjudged and awarded: That all coal i operating companies file at once with ' the United States Commissioner of La| bar, a certified statement of the rates , of compensation paid in eacn occupa. tion known in their employment, as t they existed April 1, 1902. , 9. No person shall be refused emr ployment, or in any way discriminated , against, on account of membership or non-membership in any labor organization. and there shall be no discriminating against, or interference with, any employe who is not a mem. ber of any labor organization by mem, hers of such organization. 10. All contract miners shall be required to furnish within a reasonable ' time before each pay day, a statement ' of the amount of money due from them , before each pay day, a statement on j the amount of money due from them to their laborers, and such sums shall ! be deducted from the amount due the . contract miner, and paid directly to > each laborer by the company. All em, ployes when paid shall be furnished with an itemized statement of account. , 11. The awards herein made shall i . continue in force until March 31. 1906; . and any employe, or group of employes . violating any of the provisions thereof, shall be subject to reasonable discip, line by the employer; and. further. that the violation of any provision of* , these awards, either b? employer or I employes shall not invalidate any of the provisions thereof. ! The commission also made a number ! of recommendations which may be , summarized as follows: The discontinuance o'f the system of employing "the coal and iron police," because this ' force is believed to have had an irritating effect, and a resort to the regular. ly constituted peace authorities in case of necessity; a stricter enforcement of the laws in relation to the employment of children; that the State and Federal governments should provide machinery for the making of a compulsory investigation of difficulties, similar to the investigation which this commis[ sion has made. The commission expresses the opinion that with a few modifications the Federal act of October, 1888, authorizing a commission to settle controversies between railroad corporations and other common carriers could be made the basis of a law for arbitration in the anthracite coal mining business. The commission, however, takes a decided position against compulsory arbitration. On the subject of the recognition of the Mine Workers' Union, the commisI einn ?nvo it does not consider that this subject is within the scope of jurisdiction conferred on it. It does say, however, that "the suggestion of a working agreement between employers and employes embodying the doctrine of collective bargaining, is one which the commission believes contains many hopeful elements for the adjustment of relations in the mining region." Further on it says: "The present constitution of the United Mine Workers' of America does not present the i most inviting inducements to the operi ators to enter into contractual relations with it." A VICTORY FOR THE MINERS, i SAYS MITCHELL. [ Detroit, Special.?"The decision of . the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission i Is on the whole a victory for the min ers. and I am pleased with It," said . President John Mitchell, cf the United i Mine Workers of America, in an lnterI view with an Associated Press repre[ sentative. "The anthracite miners of Pennsylvania hare reasoi* to be much ; pleased with the commissions' awards and I am sure that the are," he said. i i - I 1 TREATV IS RATIFIED * The Cuban Reciprocity Measure Gets A Through at Last. . # THE SENATE ADJOURNS SINE DIE 5 II V Nearly the Entire Closing Day Was G Spent in Executive Session ?

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL TO MAKE CANE SRYUP. I ,n Opportunity In the South for Machinery Dealers. In a letter to the Manufacturers' Lecord Mr. D. G. Purse, chairman of le committee of arrangements for the nterstate Sugar-Cane Growers' Conention, which is to meet at Macon, ra., on May C and to continue in sesion for three days, announces that mple provision will be made to bring lanufacturers of syrup and sugar mahinery into close touch there with elegates to the convention from outh Carolina. Georgia. Florida, Alaama. Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas nd Arkansas Hp adds "In South Carolina, Georgia and lorida the growing of sugar-cane and s mnufacture has already reached a oint where crude methods must give ray to more complete machinery, but ae evolution is not ready yet, and may ot be for several years, for the very eavy machinery now in use in strict! sugar-manufacturing sections. As ie areas planted increase from acre lots to ten, twenty-five and frfty acres nd upward, as is going on now irough these three States, especially ie present season, will compel the urchase of much new machinery, and ie occasion will afford an unexcelled pportunity for adapting the new mahinery exactly to the needs of the ituation, I hope this opportunity will e freely availed of by the manufacirers of syrup and sugar machinery iroughout the country convenient of ccess to the sugar-cane belt.
