NEW YORK Feb. 1.-The Red Cross

overdue, from St. Johns N. F., and
Halifax, after a desperate encounter
with pack ice off the Newfoundland

details of the condition Of affairs
brought by the Portia. Four days the
Portia was penned in huge Arctic foes,
in plain sight Of St. Johns, unable to
move. She managed to escape by the
merest accident. Many other craft,
several of them relief vessels sent by
the Canadian government to succor
destitute fishermen, had to

ment with food for the starving fisher
men, but a short distance up the coast
she found the route securely blocked
and was forced to return to port to pre-.

VICTORY FOR LABOR
MINERS GET A TEN-CENT ADVANCE
AND AN ElGhT-hOUR DAY,

Agreement Affects Two Hundred Thou
Convention at Chicago Completes Its
Labors and Adjourns.
CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-The interstate
joint convention of bituminous coal
operators and miners has ended. The
miners are jubilant over the results of
their 10 days. session, for it means to
nearly 20O, 1000 soft GOAL miners an ad-
vance of 10 cents per ton, and uni.
form day of eight hours at uniform day
wages, and the operators congratulated
one another with victory over them.
selves. The following are the resolu-
tions adopted with but two dissenting
votes:
Resolved, That an advance of 10 cents
per ton for mining screened coal take
effect in the Western Pennsylvania dis
trict Hooking Valley (Ohio) district and
Indiana bituninous district, and that on
and after April l, 1905, the S-hour day
shall be in effect in all districts here rep
resented; that uniform wages for day Ia
Dor shall be paid the different classes Of
labor in the field named; and that inter
nal differences in any of the states, both
as to price and conditions, shall be re-
ferred to the states affected.
To Perfect tho Arrangements.
The convention completed it's work
by naming the wage scale committee,
to consist Of the national executive
board of the mine workers, the district
presidents and secretaries and two op-
orators from each. state, to tabulate the
scale and perfect all the arrangements
for putting it into effect on the date
set. 1t was determined that hereafter
the miners and operators will meet in
January of each year to fix scale for
the 10 months beginning April l. Pitts
burg was selected for the next annual
joint convention, which will meet on
the third Tuesday in January, 1899.
The afternoon session of the CONVEX.
vention was very stormy and for few
hours appearances led to the belief that
,after 10 days. hard work the convention
would fail to reach settlement.
Says It's Great Labor Victory.
President Ratchford of the United
Mine Workers expressed himself as
highly satisfied with the work of the
convention. He said: Il consider the
establishment of an 8-hour day for the
miners one of the greatest labor victo-
ries of the century. 1t is, in my esti-
nation, of far more importance than
the 10 cents per ton advance. We are
bound to consider the conditions of
the coal industry in asking for an
advance in the mining scale. Perhaps
when we meet in annual conference
next year conditions may be such that
the advance would be lost. But the
uniform day Of eight hours work and
48 hours for the week will stand as one
OF the greatest achievements in the his
tory of the miners or any other organ
ization."
