NEW YORK. March 21. Unique among the awards of the Roosevelt anthracite coal commission of 19i2 was the establishment of s board of conclll-- i lion. As a court of apieals for ths satire mining district, this board of three men representing operators and three for the miners has for three years been settling questions of great Intricacy and Importance. The board has been unusually successful, but the miners now demand that Its constitution be changed. Controversies of deep human Interest have come before the board. Take the case of Thomas F. Kennedy, engineer, of CarbondHle. When the big strike of 1902 was ordered, he stuck to his post. Besides tielng a miner, he was a member of the Moxart band and orchestra of Carls indale, and for fifteen years had Increased his earnings some 120 a month by his musical ability. Though s member In good standing In the Musicians unlan, he wee expelled and boycotted and this revenue taken from Ma, at the instigation, he says, of the mine workers, and because be had failed to go out on strike. It was a small matter, the little extra Income Tom Kennedy of Carbon-dal- e might make In tooting a horn with the Moxart band, yet he had no hesitancy In presenting his esse to the commission. It received due and proper consideration, Just aa If the mints at issue had meant thousands of dollars to petitioner or respondent. So the board has gone through the entire gamut of forces at play In the mining regions. The discharge of an employe, failure of another to secure reinstatement, a company asking more for coal than employes consider fair to pay, the method of paying check Welshmen, discrimination in prices paid contract miners, suspension of contract miners for dirty coal, overtime for y, drivers, making the pay day a strikes for one cause nr another; these and scores of other matters, great and small, come before the board for adjustment A case, typical of many, was Involved In a complaint by the local union of Dunmure to the effect that while for two years it had been the custom at Coal collieries of the Pennsylvania company to lay the road In the center of the chamber, the plan had been changed so that the road was constructed along one side of the chamber, necessitating, as the miners said, extra handling of coal to an extent that would require a third more labor In getting out a ton of coaL The company, on the other hand, set up the fact that, owing to the narrowcast ing of the chambers, the average of the coal by the miner was only a foot more than before, while this disadvantage was more than made up in Here was a condition other ways. arising out of a Joint desire to Increase the working value of the plant The miners complained, properly enough, from their standpoint, perhaps having considered the case from one angle only. The alms and limitations of the anthracite coal strike commission and the board of conciliation were emphasised In the opinion of the umpire, Hon. Carroll D. Wright. "No body of men," he said, oould take np and Justly pass upon the varied and Interminable physical differences In the anthracite coal regions whereby a greater or lesser amount of bodily fatigue, or a more or less Intense muscular exertion was required to produce certain given results.
