NEW TORK, March . The Herald
print tho following as a luminary of the
findings of the coal strike commlMlon ap
pointed by President Roosevelt, which, U
hi expected, will be handed to the presi
dent within a week.
There will undoubtedly be at least a 10
per cent advance In the par for mining,
to take effect from the litre the miner
returned to work laat October. The per
diem employee will not have their wages
Increased, but will be recommended for the
lame pay of a day of nine houra.
Ths system of pay will be regulated.
Wherever practicable the operatora will be
required to pay by weight, instead of by
the car, and elsewhere by the lineal yard
The mlnen will have checking representa
tives at their own expense. This will prac
tically amount to a second Increase In
wages.
There will be Indirect recognition of the
union, which will come when the findings
are submitted by President Roosevelt to
John Mitchell, at president of the miners'
union.
The causes of the strike as found by
the commission will not be comforting to
the foal mining companies.
The boycott will be condemned and the
principle will be laid down that a miner
has a right to work without molestation,
even though he does not belong to the
union.
The terms of the verdict are to hold
good for three yean, and recommendations
are to be made for settlements of other
questions at the end of that period.
In local disputes the operators will be
advised to treat with committees of the
miners and there may be a suggestion
for a local board of arbitration. .

He affirmed that the Reichstag bat jo

Admiralty Secretary Von Ttrpitt replied
that the Information supplied by the Navy

discretion required some reserve. Mta In

BIG PAY AIDS AMERICA
Drives German Goods from Market
and Sends (iermaa Clerks to
Competitors' Stores.
BERLIN. Msrch . Export, a trsde pa
per devoted to extending German foreign
trade, publishes' a series of articles on the
methods by which American goods are sup
planting German goods in foreign markets.
The article consist largely of letters from
Germans living In Mexico, Venezuela. Era
xll and Australia.
The writers explain that German houses
are being beaten because they are unwilling
to guarantee agents fixed salaries, as Amer
icans do, and also becauso they depend on
sending out catalogues, whereas Americans
keep stocks of goods in established agen
cies, where buyers are able to purchase
after seeing the goods. German agents. It
Is added, are largely taking service with
American houses because of the better
terms offered them.
Export urges the German manufacturers
to abandon their "penny-wise, pound fool
ish policy" and give their agents decent
fixed salaries so as to enable them to with
stand the flattering offers of the American
competitors, adding:
This la all the more Important since
Imprlran rnmnetltlon In the world's mar
ket will evidently grow keener during tho
next ten years.

Ml Baa Risk of Called

' BERLIN, March . Tho sugar producers
of Germany want the government to Intro
duce tho Austrian system of allotting to
refineries and raw factories the amount of
sugar they may produce yearly.
Count von Camman Interpellated the gov
ernment In the Reichstag today on what it
Intends to do for the sugar Industry in
view of Austria's action. He said Austrian
sucar would enjoy an advantage in the
American and British markets unless Ger
many adopted the allotment system.
Treasurer-Secretary von Theilmann, In
announcing that the government did not
approve the allotment plan, said It was
highly probable that the United States cus
toms authorities would carefully examine
the new atatua of Austrian sugar after Sep
tember and decide that It enjoys an Indi
rect bounty under the double allotment
system, as In the case of Russia's indirect
bounty.

ST. LOUIS, Mo.. March . The general
officers of the Brotherhoods of Firemen' and
Tralnment tonight Issued a manifesto ad
dressed to their members on the Wabaah.
An all-day conference was held In the
Southern hotel by Grand Msstera Hansa
han and. Morrlssey of the Brotherhood of
Firemen and Tralnment with their at
torneys, discussing the application for a
dissolution of tho Injunction. This answer,
with affidavits, will be filed tomorrow or
on Monday.
laloa Manifesto Coarlllatory.
The union manifesto la a follows;
The general committees of the Brother
hood it Locomotive firemen and or the
brotherhood ot Kallroad Trainmen recon
vened at St. Louis on March 2, 10. 'the
vote on the proposition to sirlKe unless; a
settlement oi tne grievances satisfactory
to the committee and officers of ihe organi
sations could be ettected was canvnawd,
and It was found that tna reuulred maloritv
j or each of the organisations had voied In
favor of a strike under such circumstances. !
A letter was sent 10 President Kumsey.
communicating to him the fact that unless
he rectded from his former noaltlun within
a certain time the members ot the organisa
tions would quit tne vervlce ot tne com
pany. This letter was answered by Mr.
Kamsey, who requested a statement from '
the committees oi the exact points In dif
ference between hlmaett and the men. so
that if a strike occurred he might know the
reason on which the action was bused.
About the time this statement was beinr
delivered at his office Ihe officers of the
organisations and the members of ths
committees were served with a writ of In
junction Issued by Judge K. U. Adams of
Ihe I'nlted States court tor the eastern dis
trict of Missouri, which has been published
In lull.
It will be seen by this that to have sanc
tioned a strike under the circumstances
might have been construed as a violation
of the order of the court. The order of
the court, tiHd a strike been declared, might
also have been construed as prohibiting the
prosecution oi tne same on tne pari or tne
ci Sanitations or any of its representatives.
The writ of Injunction was granted upon
a bill ot complaint tiled by the Wabash
Railroad company, alleging an unlawful
and malicious conspiracy on the part of
the organisations and other allegations
equally unfounded and untrue.
we are taxing tne necessary legal sieps
to protect our reports and we believe we
can furnish the court ample facts and sufll
clnt reference for vacating the order.
Until this has been done these organisa
tions will respect the order of the court.
We advise' our officers and members, not
only on the Wabash system, but elsewhere,
to do likewise. Fraternally.

This statement was shown to President
Ramsey and Colonel W. H. Blodgett. coun
sel for the Wabash, who both expressed the
opinion that the notice to Wabash employes
to continue working would be pleasant news
to most of them. .
Regarding the probabilities ot a strike.
President Rsmsey said:
"In case the Injunction Is dissolved, I
think a strike Is quite likely. In case ot
the dissolution It will probably be ordered
at once by the leaders. The Wabash em
ployes will not go out until ordered to
do so.
"A strike may Inconvenience the Wabssb
for some time, but it will not tie up the
system to any serious extent unless a boy.
cott is ordered at the different terminal
and Junction points."
Mr. Ramsey then discussed the action of
lsst Monday, when the Injunction was
served on the employes' officials. He said:
"On Monday afternoon I received formal
notice from the committee of the brother
hood that the . vote ot the trainmen and
firemen had been in favor ot declaring a
strike In the event that their demands were
not granted, and I was given until noon
on Tuesday to answer It, falling to answer,
a strike would be declared.
"I replied to thia communication and my
reply was delivered at the Laclede hotel
to "the committee at 6 p. m. Monday. As
this reply required the committee to fur
nish me their ultimatum, covering the
points which must be conceded in order to
prevent a strike, waited for a reply until
11:15 p. m. Tuesday, or fifteen minutes
after the hour fixed by the committee Itself.
Falling to get a reply I had the injunction
served. . .
Delay Caascs lajaactloa.
"At 12:38 p. m. I received a letter la
answer to mine of Monday, giving the In
formation desired. ,
"Had this letter reached me. by 12:15 the
Injunction would not have been served at
that time, but would have been held back
In the hope that further conferences would
have prevented the necessity of its service.
Even after the Injunction w was served. 1
replied in full to the letter received from
the committee, being of the opinion that
the service ot the Injunction did not relieve
them or the committee from doing all In
our power to arrtoe at an amicable settle
ment, and prevent the necessity of any
strike, and I am of tbi opinion still.
"My reply was delivered to the commit,
tee at 4:45 p. m. Tuesday or fifteen minutes
before the time fixed by them for a reply.
"The policy of the Wabash la unchanged.
It claims It is now paying as good wages
and has as equitable rules as any of Its
competitors. If It Is not doing this, it
stands ready, injunction or no injunction.
to carry out Its pledge, given to its em
ployes, to advance its wages or change ita
rules when It Is shown to bo out ot line
wth its competitors."

I'
DETROIT. Mich.. March Judge Frank
A. Hooker ot Charlotte was tonight renom
inated for Justice ot the supreme court of
this state for a terra of ten years. The
nomination followed the itormiest repub
lican state convention held In this state
since the Grand Rapids convention that
nominated Governor Bliss In 1898.
Seven candidates were In the field against
Judge Hooker. The convention was stam
peded during the sixth ballot' In the inter
est of Judge Edward E. Kinney ot Ann
Arbor, but the seventh ballot gave a large
majority to Judge Hooker.
For regents of the University of Michi
gan the convention nominated Peter W.
White of Marquette and Loyal E. Knnppen
ot Grand Rapids.
Itcaflirin Old Principle.
The following platform was adopted:
We, the republicans of Michigan, in Ju
ilhl.il convent! m Hfsemblcd. reafltrm our
u!'.rnlHni e to the principles and policli of
the republican party. We rnnllaliy endorse
Hie patriotic, cminigeou and wte poll-.y
ot th preaiiltnt. Theodore Roosevelt, und
htreby renew our pledac and nipport and
our expremion of contlderce In him and hla
atiminlstrHtion. We congratulate the mo
ple of Michigan on the election of the en
tire repuollcan xtute ticket last full and
(m the economic administration of state af
fairs tinier Governor Aaron T. Bliss.
We glory In the national fame. of Mich
igan's supreme court am! in the continued
Mrength and probl.y. We commend our
treat state university to the continued sup
port, confidence and esteem of the people.
Resolved, That It Is the sense of this con
vention that a general primary election law
rboiild be enacted for the entire slats of
Michigan.
W. W. Wedemeyer of Ann Arbor was se
lected as temporary chairman of the con
vention. He said in part:
I believe 1 have a right to assume that
the people of this state otlll have faith In
the principles and purposes and men of
the repjblkan party. And I know that the
people ot the entire union have an abiding
latin in the courace. the firmness, the
robust Americanism of the present and our
next chief executive, Theodore Roosevelt.
Since he took the presidential chair there
has been a steady continuation of the pros
perity that followed the re-enactment of
republican policies during the administra
tion, of the martyred McKlnley.
Not aa laccrtaln Policy.
- Prosperity and uncertainty don't walk
hand in hand. There has been no uncer
tainty as to the nation's policy, . either
under William McKlnley or his worthy suc
cessor. It has been throughout a truly
American policy, one which has opened
silent factories, advanced farm values, de
veloped new industries and I r creased our
manufactures and exports to u degree that
was not anticipated by even the most
ardent supporters of republican policies.
The republican party has created these
conditions. And in the great campaign ot
ls.90 It decided once for all that, not only
muxt.all labor be free labor, not only must
it be, protected against .uorapettilon .with
chere.,4r TXMies across, the ..sea. .out
It must be paid in money that shall every
where be as good 'as BjpM.
There Is a disposition on the part of
some to belittle the legislation passed by
the republican congress on the subject of
trusts. But 1 believe the value of this legis
lation will be clearly shown by the history
of the next few months. The rDUbllcan
party, which has toIveU the problems of
tne past, may be depended on to solve this
problem also and in such a way as to do
injustice to no man and to no interest, but
to do equal and exact Justice to alL
Prominent Men oa Platform.
Two v. United States senators and one
former senator had seals on the platform
during the greater perl of the morning
session. Senator Alger was called upon
for a speech at the conclusion of the ad

He spoke briefly, thanking the dele
gates for their warm welcome and Imme
diately introducing Senator Gallinger of
New Hampshire, who Is here to make sn ad
dress at the annual banquet ot the Michi
gan club tonight.
Senator Gallinger spoke highly ot Gen
eral Alger's services to his country and
declared himself proud to have been Sena
tor Alger's . friend through adversity S3
well as through his hours of triumph. For

also here to speak at tonigl''s banquet, ad

CALLS IT FROZEN COUNTRY
J. h. levering writes Letter pertain-
last to Immigration loto
Canada.
Transmissouri railroad sre up In snns
over tho systematic canvassing of this sec
tion of the country by Dominion of Canada
agenta In the Interests Of the colonization
of Alberta. AssiniboU, Manitoba and other
Canadian districts. They say that men of
any class, agricultural or stock raising,
who lesve this country tor that frigid
northland will be disappointed sadly, as
they will not get what they expect up
there. A recent Issue of the Winnipeg
Free ITees contained a startling story two
columns wide, a special from Omaha, pur
porting to give facts and flrires about
great migrations of wealthy cltliens of Ne
braska. Missouri, Iowa, South lakots and
Kansas to Canadian lands. J. H. Lovertng
of South Bend, Wash., saw the story snd
in a letter to a land agent of a prominent
Nebraska railroad sheds a little light on
this "bonanxa" proposition from the basis
of his own experience In the identical mat
ter. He wrlta:
In enclose a clipping from the Winnipeg
Free Press that 1 wleh to call your atten
tion to. In think there ought tj be a stop
put to this allowing Canadian land agems
to canvass our ceuntry and Incjce pros
perous cltliens to sell out and move to that
''lrosen country." Now, 1 vpeak from ex
perience and know what 1 am talking
about. In 1H94 I sold out In Nebraska and
moved to Kdmonton. Alberta, and lived
there till 1SS. Then I sold my Mtock and
left my ranch with all my buildings, fences,
fields and such snd came back to the
United States a wiser but not n wealthier
man It i no country for a man who hus
been raieed in the I'nlted States. The co
pla are clanleh and will boycott an Ameri
can to the bitter end. The climate is un
certain 1 to raisins crops and the winters
are . Ion and tedious. The summers are
short and the air is laden wish mosquitoes.
Th.t n niultoee and files will drive stock
wild The market la poor. The Canadian
Pacific lailwav has the key to the situa
tion, and It holds the country In an Iron
grasp. Its holdings, lands, roadbed, roll-
lug stock and other property are exempt
from taxation forever.
Now this letter may be wholly uncalled
for. but I wish to hear from you on the
subject. If I can be of any use In slapping
this exodus please let me knew.

LINCOLN. March 6. (Special.) Tse
principal appropriation bills that have bees
Inttoduced aggregate $J,48o,8S0. This does
not represent sll the appropriations askad
for, aa there are several other bills carry
ing smaller amounts for various purposes.
It Is safo to say, however, that the grand
total will be within the $4.0o0,000 mark by
a good margin. Lait session Ihe grand
total was S2,875.2S..l. One bill was In
troduced today by Thorpe of Garfield ap
propriating IJOO.OOO for the Installation of
a twine plant at the state penitentiary,
but this bill is not Included in the list, as
there is little prospect of Its passage.
One remarkable feature of the deficiency
bill, which, however. Is among the less ex
tensive ones, Is that only three Items reach
the $1,000 mark. The largest and principal
item Is $2,000 for tho Collins-Woodruff
Printing company of Lincoln, and the other
two larger ones are $1,000 bills for tho
State Journal company.
The Items and amounts of the eight prin
cipal bills are these:.
