victory for the miners, and 1 am
pleased wi'h it," snid President John
Mitchell 'of the United Mine Workers

pleased with the c nv,i..issiiin's awards,
and I am sure tha they are." he said.
In riply to a question as to whether
the- miners were Riven as much as
had been hoped for, Mr. Mitchell an
swered after an instant's dclibr ration:
"1 do not care to say."
"The most Important feature of the
awards." l:e continued, "is of course
the increase of 10 per cent, given the
miners. This will result in an annua
increase in the wages of the 140,001)
anthracite miners of Pennsylvania ot
$G, 000, 000. The sliding scale provided
for by the commission is very satis
factory. Inasmuch as a minimum of
$4,50 per ton is fixed. With white aeb
coal at 5.50 per ton at tidewater, the
increase provided for in the sliding
scale will be equivalent to 20 per rent,
ntfir- fin the miners' wafes."
Presar,! Mltihell was asked If he
was disappointed because the commis
sion di i not recognise the union for
mally, and he replied that he was not.
because the decision of the commis
sion and Its swards were in themselves
rer-opiiitinn of the power and Influence
of the United Mine Workers
"A"-r the increane 4f wages given
't' luiM is," said Mr. Mitchell, "tbi
most important of the awards, from
the rtiinurs' standpoibt, are the ones
txii s a tine hour day and providing
for a hoard of conciliation. The award
gives a bine hour day with ten hours
pay dirrt!y to R ''00 men. and practl

anthracite mines will get a nlne-bour

board of conciliation will result in
great good, and I am much pleased

of the anthracite coal icgloii affucted
by the d islon of th strike commis
sion, Judging by present prices for
coal, will receive an increase of close
to 20 pur cent iu wages, the average
tide water price of hard coal at Perth
Ail boy being alsuut $3 a ton. The tide
ater price here of grate coal is $4.76,
and of egg, stove and chestnut $5. This
would make th average prioe of sizes
