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

bar, a certified statement of the rates
, of compensation paid in eacn occupa.
tion known in their employment, as

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

> 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

and I am sure that the are," he said.

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.
