parties before formal adoption. The ma
public in general way. 1t may be said
to be one for keeping the traffic within
reasonable bounds and making it yield
fair returns. The plan has no direct
bearing on the strike situation: in fact,

its purposes and details are known, it
reflects conditions similar to those now
known to govern in the anthracite trade.

port money in their treasures. but relief
for the miners will be secured by yolun-
tary contributions and not from appro-
priations of funds on hand.
