Commission Made Public.
ftrialnit Compitlfry Arbitration A Hoard
of Conclllrttlnn Itccomiiieiiileit Tho
m uiiootiiinuance or Kinpioyluc
l'otlco Creed.
Washington, March 21. The re
port of the commission appointed by
thfcPrcsident last October to iuvesti
BUte the anthracite coal strike was
made public to-day. The report is
dated March 18 and is signed by all
the members of the commission. In
brief the commission raises a gener
al increase of wages amounting in
most instances to ten per cent.;
Boino decrease of time; the settle
ment of all disputes by arbitration;
fixes a minimum wage and a sliding
Kcale; provides against discrimina
tion of persons by either the mine
owners or the miners on account of (
membership or non-membership in a '
Jubor union and provides that the
H wards made shall continue in force
until March 31, 100G.
The commission discussed to some
extent the matter of recognition or
noti-rec;gnition of the milium union,
but declined to muke auy award on
this measure.
The commission says:
Any diniculty or disagreement
Arising under this .award us to its
interpretation or application, or in
any way growing out of the rela
tions of the employers and employed
which cannot be settled or adjusted
by consultation between the super
intendent or manager of the mine or
mines, and the miner or miners di
rectly interested or ds of a scope too
n large to be settled -shall be referred
to a permanent joint committee to
bo called a board of conciliation, to
consist of six persons, appointed as
hereinafter provided. That is to say,
if there shall be .u division of the
whole region into "districts in each of
which there shall exist an organiza
tion representing a majority of the
mine workers oZ -Btich district one of
said board of conciliation shall be
appointed by each of snid organiza
tions and three other persons shall
be appointed by ithe operators, the
operators in eich of said districts ap
pointing one person.
The board of conciliation thus con
stituted shall take up and consider
any question referred to it as afore
said, hearing both parties to the
controversy and such evidence as
may be laid before It by either party,
and any award made by a majority of
such board of conciliation shall be
final and binding on all parties. If,
. however, the said board is unable
to decide any question submitted 6r
'point related thereto, that question
or point shall be referred to an um
pire, to be appointed, at the request
of said board, by one of the circuit
judges of the Third judicial circuit
of the United States, whose decision
6hnll be final and binding in the
premises.
No suspension of work shall tale
place, by lockout or strike, pending
the ad judical ion of any matter
taken up for adjustment.
Mine ears shall be distributed
among miners, and there shall be no
concerted eA'ort on the part of the
miners or mine workers of any col
liery or collieries to limit the out
put of the mines or to detract from
the quality of the work, unless such
limitation of output be in conform
ity to an agreement between an oper
ator or orper.ators and an organiza
tion representing a majority of said
miners in his or their employ.
The commission also makes a
number of recommendations which
may be summarized as follows:
The discontinuance of the system
of employing'Mhe coal and iron po
lice," because this force is believed
to have an irritating effect and re
sort to the regularly constituted
pence authorities incnse of neces
sity.
A strict enforcement of the laws in
relation to the employment of chil
dren. That the state and federal govern
ments should provide machinery for
the making of a compulsory investi
gation, of difficulties, nhnilur to that
investigation which this commission
has made. The commission express
the opinion that with a few modifi
cations, the federal net of October,
1888, authorizing a commission to
ssettln controversies between railroad
.corporations and other common car
riers could bo made the basis of a
law for arbitration in the anthra
cite coal mining business. The
commission, however, take a deeid-
position against compulsory ar-
iti
ration.

To have health in hot weather the blood must be
pure the digestion good and the vital organs free from
bilious impurities. NOW is the time to put yourself in
shape for the season's work. PRICKLY ASH BITTERS
purifies the blood thoroughly and cleanses and strength
ens the stomach, liver and bowels. During the Winter
habit and as a result of such condition the system is
clogged with impurities which get into the blood. If
not removed these impurities become poisonous and
undermine the constitution. The admirable cleansing
and strengthening effect of PRICKLY ASH BITTERS is
especially appropriate in such cases. It drives out im-
purities in the blood, stimulates the torpid liver and
restores regularity in the bowels, thus PERMANENTLY
removing this disease breeding condition.
Begin the season's work right Cleanse the system
of impurities and get your blood, liver and bowels in
