HAS CONFIDENCE IN COMMISSION Editor of Miners' Journal Says Men Feel They Will Get Fair Treatment Indiannpolls, Dec. 22—Full confi dence in the commission appointed by President Wilson to investigate the bituminous coal industry and deter mine wages and working conditions were expressed at headquarters of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica here. Ellis Searles, editor of the Mine Workers' Journal, in a state ment, said the miners feel they will be treated fairly by the commission. "The commission is composed of men of the highest integrity and honor," Mr. Searles said. "Mr. White, representing the mine workers, and Mr. Peale the operators, know coal mining as thoroughly as any two men in America. Mr. Robinson is a high grade businessman and there is no doubt that he will be a valiant representative of the public." Referring to the statement issued by the operators Saturday night to the effect that as yet they had not agreed to the strike settlement terms, Mr. Searles said: "While the miners patriotically ac cepted the plan of President Wilson for settlement of the recent strike and now place their case in the hands of tlie commission, it is in teresting to note that the operators are balking as if they do not desire a settlement. Before the strike be gan, the operators proposed arbitra tion and shouted frantically for it. They demanded that the controversy be submitted to a board to be named by the President. The miners re jected this proposition as it came from the operators. Now, however, the miners have accepted arbitra tion when proposed by the Presi dent, and the operators are fighting against it.

Sproul and Auditor General Charles A. Snyder before the mem bers of the State Constitutional Re vision Commission reassemble in this city. Officials of various states and of the large cities are being asked to present data, while a comprehensive study is understood to be under way at the National capital for one of the members. Making of a budget for the State of Pennsylvania now would be framing one of $50,000,000 a year if allowances* for the mainte nance of the charitable and educa tional institutions were to be in cluded. One of the subjects upon which some data is also being prepared for the Commission is taxation of coal and other natural resources. It is regarded as pretty certain that a change in the taxation feature that would permit taxation of either kind of coal sold in or out of the State will be recommended, while the graded tax will also be introduced. It seems now to he certain that tho State Insurance Fund Board will name an assistant manager who lives in Pennsylvania. John Guy Bingaman, of Dalmatia, Northumber land county, a claim adjuster with the State Insurance Fund for several years, is being strongly urged for the place. There are half a dozen applicants and Bingaman seems to have very influential backing. The Public Service Commission will hold its final arguments for the year to-day and among the cases listed is the protest "of the Pittsburgh Railways Company against the plan of the city of Pittsburgh for open ing streets across an inclined plane. The question is an unusual one and will have important bearing upon street openings where a grade cross ing will be created.
