True UNIFORMITY SEEMS TO LAG.
How the Movement Stands After Several
Months of Effort.


Pittsburg. Dec. 11.-Only 40 per cent.
Of the operators of the Pittsburg dis
trict signed the uniformity agreement.
instead of the IS per cent necessary to
make the document binding. and IL does
not look as II the agreement win be
enforced before the first of the year un-
der existing conditions. The uniformity
committee met at the Monongahela
House yesterday. and with them as
sembled about twenty-five coal mine
operators. Not a river operator was In
attendance. OF the le& operators In the
district operating ao2 mines only fifty
operators. representing seventy-five
mines. signed the agreement. Many
more will sign II there is a bare possi-
b.lity Of II being effective. but other
wise they will stay out.
When IL was seen how futile the eff
fort appeared in securing uniformity
by the method adopted w. p. DeArmit
made a motion, which was adopted. to
appoint a committee TO ascertain IL the
miners would cooperate with the op-
orators in securing uniformity through
the method Of having coal mined at 10
cents a ton less at mines where uni
formity prevailed. J. c. Dysart. ]. B.
Zerbe and T. T.. Young were appointed
on the committee to see the miner5' of
ficiais. Adjourned until Dec. 80. All
through the y letting it was said by the
operators that Il was not the intention
OF the operators 10 pull wages down to
secure 10 cents a ton differential In ia
vor Of the mine operators encouraging
uniformity. hut rather to increase the
present mining rate 10 cents a ton. maxi
ing II - cents a ton at mines where
uniformity does not prevail.

l. the Twentieth Century Girl.

Oh the Twentieth Century Girl.
What wonderful thing she will be!
She'll evolve from mystica! whirl
woman unfettered and free;
NO corset to crampen her waist.
No crimps to cucumber her brain;
unafraid. bifurcate. uniaced,
Like 4 goddess of o.d she viii reign.
She'll wear boomers, matter of course;
She will vote. not question of doubt;
She will ride like man on horse;
At tAe club late at night she'll stay out;
If she chances to love, she'll propose;
To blush will be quite out of date:
She'll discuss politics with her bcaux
And out-talk her masculine mate!
She'll be up in the science of things;
She will smoke cigarettes; she will
swear,
If the servant dunning note brings,
Or the steak isn't served up with care.
No longer she'll powder her nose
Or cultivate even a curl,
Nor bother with fashion or clothes,
This Twenticth-Century Girl.
Her voice will be heard in the land;
She'll dabble in matters of state:
In council her word will command,
And her whisper the laws regulate.
She will stand meath her banner unfurled
Inscribed with her principles new:
But the question is what in the world
The New Century Baby will do?
