XXomxr - Labor Commissioner Wrierht Will Likely Be! Made a Reg ular Member of the Board. ARBITRATION BOARD BEGINS WORK TODAY. IT IS EXPECTED THE INVESTIGA TION WILL LAST SEVERAL MONTHS GENERAL RESUMP TION OF 'WORK IN MINES. Washington, Oct.' 23. Labor Commie sioner Wright will be made a member in full" standing of the coal strike ar bitration commission, which holds its first session here tomorrow. In his present position as recorder of the com mission he 'will have no vote. His place would therefore be somewhat anomalous. The intention to appoint Wright a regular member is in ac cordance with the general desire that functions as his associates in passing upon vue iuesuuu ixivuiveu iu me cum- ing investigation, It has been urged, moreover, that the commission as present const!- tuted might be frequently evenly di vided on the questions at issue, for only six regular voting members were ap pointed. The commission feels the need of Wright's technical knowledge in regard to strikes and labor disputes. It is thought the appointment will be acceptable to both sides. Indeed, this assurance will probably be necessary to allow his appointment. It is expected the investigation will last several months. Wilkesbarre, Oct. 23. Reports from the entire anthracite region show that about 7 per cent of the mines are in operation today. The collieries in the Lackawanna region are in better shape for working than those in any other cart of the reerion. The collieries in the Wyoming region with a small out put are in good shape, being free from I eias and water. but th large mines are still hampered by water. The same condition of affairs exists in the Le high region. In the Schuykill region the large mines are rported to be In better condition for work than was expected. All the mines in operation will be short of their normal output today. but by tomorrow it is expected almost thp full output will be reached.

Reports are coming -in from all over the, mining regions thatmany engi neers, firemen, pumpmen, carpenters and com piny hands have failed to get their places hack. The old employes are faring better with the individual companies than with the large compa nies. A delegation of camenters. made up of employes from many collieries in the Wyoming region, called at Presi dent Mitchell's headquarters at noon and laid their grievances before rhim. They said miners and laborers had no trouble in getting to work, but other employes, holding good paying positions before they went on strike, generally found their places filled with other men and the mine superintendents said there would be no chance for the present. Mr. Mitchell advised his callers to be patient and aflait developments the next few days. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 23. The min ing of coal 'with union miners was re sumed in the Wyoming valley this morning. There was much activity at all of the collieries, but owing to the condition of many of the mines the full quota of men could not be employed. The fire bosses reported that many places were in a dangerous condition and the superintendents refused to al low the miners to enter those places. At least fifteen per cent of the miners """" a11 UVC1 utry wouia De or in this department will not be able to aered refuse to handle any anthra resume work for several weeks as the lower lifts are still flooded.

Mitchell today received many notices that strikers ap plying for work had been refused and the locals" were classing these refus als as discrimination. Reports tonight are being made by men to their locals and the accommodations of the locals will be submitted Saturday to Mitchell. He will not say tonight what action will 'be taken but it is known that all statements which show evidence of discrimination will be submitted to the arbitration commission in the effort to show that the operators are not treating the men fairly. Mitch ell tonight refused to discuss the matter. He will not go to Wash ington tomorrow but will remain here arranging evidence aDout the miners condition to submit to the commission. Preparations are under way for the celebration of "Mitchell day" next Wednesday. On that day all mines will be closed down . New York, Oct. 23. Baer of Reading came here today and remained several hours. He had a talk with several other coal presidents. Tonight in Philadelphia Baer issued a copy of a letter sent to the company's manager announcink that coal prices will be raised fifty cents per ton on the mines of the company.

ANOTHER TIE UP IS THREATENED STATIONERY ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN MAY REFUSE TO HANDLE HARD COAL. jThe Association Will Insist on Re-instatement of All Their Members. HAVE 14,000 MEMBERS AND 114 LOCAL UNIONS. Chicago,' Oct. 23. President Morton" of the International Association of Sta tionary Engineers and Firemen stated today that all members of the aesoci- atmn n .. n.. , cite coal until each member affected by the anthracite strike is reinstated on the basis on which the miners re turned to work. Chicago, Oct. 23. It was stated to day by President Morton of the Inter national Association of Stationary En gineers and Firemen that all members of the association all over the country wouid be ordered to refuse to handle any anthracite coal until each member affected by the anthracite strike is re instated on the basis on which the miners returned to work. The brotherhood has a membership of 14,000 and has local unions in 114 towns and cities, including Chicago, New York, Boston, Philadelphia Cincinnati, Cleveland, Baltimore, St. Louis, Kan sas City, Denver and San Francisco. President JVlorton declared his organi zation was in a position to shut out hard coal in all cities where it had. lo- j cal unions, and said such action would be taken if necessary for the protection of members of the union who had lost their positions on account of the an- tharcite coal strike. This is President Morton's view of the situation: "According to all reports from the eastern mines, our men are getting tne worst of it, and while the miners are being reinstated, they are left out in the cold. Our organization does not propose allowing its members to be vic timized, and, as we cannot call a strike at the mines, non-unionr men seeming to 'be in possession of the jobs, we will attempt to secure the reinstatement of our members by shutting out anthra cite coal everywhere we can. W hue negotiations looking toward a settlement were on, we did not wish to interfere in any way, although we feared our men would get the worst of it. We have supported the miners in every manner during the strike, and be lieve the action of the firemen and en gineers in quitting work helped ma terially to win the fight. "Although it is true a maioritv of the firemen are members of the miners union, because they were forced into that organization, they have retained their membership in our union and have already asked for our assistance. We propose to give it to them, and I am going to call a meeting of the ex ecutive board when action will be taken looking to that end. I will ad vocate that our members be ordered to refuse to handle anthracite coal, and as to my mind this is the only method that will bring the operators to time, I believe the board will adopt my sug gestion." President Morton said that when the Shamokin convention of the miners was hfii nrpvions to the strike, President Tom Barrett and Secretary J,. P. Mul lahy of the state district of Pennsyl vania were present in the interest of the firemen and asked what protection they would receive provided they went on strike in sympathy with the miners According to President Morton, they were advised to set into the miners' nnirvn Vinf- were assured the miners would stand by them.
