Washington, March 21.—The report
of the commission appoint! by the
president last October to investigate
the anthracite coal strike, was made
public today. The report is dated
March 18, and is signed by all the
members of the commission, who are
Judge George Gray, of Delaware; La
bor Commissioner Carroll D. Wright,
and Iirigadier General John M. Wil
son, both of this city; Bishop John L.
Spalding, of Illinois; Thomas It. Wat
kins, of Pennsylvania, and Edward VV.
Parker, of this city. The report Is
to be illustrated and it will be accom
panied by the testimony taken by the
commission, but thus far only tho re
port proper has been printed. This
alone covers 87 pages of printed mat-
ter.
In brief, the commission recom
mends a general Increaso of wages
amounting in most instances to 10 per
cent; some decreases of time; the
settlement of all disputes by arbitra
tion; fixes a minimum wage, and a
sliding scale; provides against dis
crimination of persons by either tho
mine owners or the minors on ac
count of membership or non-member
ship in a labor union, and provides,
that the awards made shall continue
in force until March 31, I90G. The
commission discussed to some extent
the matter of recognition or non-roc-
onitlon of the miners' union, but de
clined to rnako any award on this mit-
ter.
The commission also makes a num
ber of recommendations which may be
summarized as follows;
The dUcontinuance of the system ol
employing "the coal and iron police”
because this force is believed to hava
an irritating effect and a resort to the
■i; regularly constituted peace authorities
I In case of necessity.
jii A stricter enforcement of the laws
in relation to the employment of chil-
dren.

Ion that differences can best be set
tied by consultation -by tho employe!
with a “committee chosen by his cm

for itself and for Its members."
