AGREEMENT ON ARMOR NEAR.

THE COMPANIES TO GIVE MUCH BETTER
TERMS TO THE GOVERNMENT
Washington, Oct 20-The negotiations for the
purchase of naval armor plate have proceeded to
point little short of a practical agreement, and
attention is now being given to adjusting the de-
tails of settlement Naval officials feel how
ever. that If would be premature to give the basis
Of the probable agreement while some Of the de-
tails are still undecided. There is every indica-
ton that the settlement will give the Government
armor at price considerably below that named
in the bids recently submitted by the armor COM
panies and II Is probable that there will be re-
classification of the armor with view to secur-
ing better results for the Government.

ANOTHER CONVENTION TO CONSIDER
THE OPERATORS TERMS.
icy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuNE.I

81
wfkesbarre, Penn. Oct 20.-District Presi-
dent Nichols, of the United Mine Workers. was
IN conference with the members of the General
Council at the strikers headquarters here to-
day. The presidents Of several local unions
appealed to him for supplies for their needy
members, but he could give them no assurance
that they would receive aid THE local unions
must do all they can and use up their money
first" he said, and then when they can no
longer feed those who need supplies, President
Mitchell will see about it,
He was told that several OF the local unions
had no money left They had done all they
could, and their members who were penniless
must have food. President Mitchell had prom
Used it Wednesday last, but they had not
heard from him Mr. Nichols said he could do
nothing for them, but would lay the matter be-
fore President Mitchell and what could be
accomplished. The local leaders had to be salts
fed with this promise, but there is much grum-
bling among them, and aid will be demanded.
They expect the union 10 provide for them, and
viii protest vigorously If it does not Michael
Smith. an organizer says that no local union in
the county has more than 5000 in its treasury.
and some Of them have as many as a thousand
members
As a result Of the visit of President Nichols
the General Council approved the plan Of hold
ing another convention. at which the latest
offer of the operators to the miners will be con-
sidered. The delegates who attended the con-
vention a week ago viii again represent their
local unions The date and place for holding
the convention have not yet been decided, and
Will be announced by President Mitchell. 1t is
expected to be next Wednesday Thursday,
and there is little doubt judging from the pres
ent temper OF the men, that the terms Of the
operators viii be accepted Two things Will
compel them TO DO this. One is the fear that If
the strike IS not quickly settled the operators
VIII withdraw their offer. and the other the fact
that many strikers are in want and it will re-
ouire work or relief to keep them from starving.

NO NOTICE OF CHANGE IN SWISS TARIFF.

Washington. Oct 2O.-It is not believed here that
the Swiss Government has taken the action ind-
Gated IN some Of the press dispatches from Europe
toward applying the maximum tariff rates to
American products In retaliation for its failure To
secure reciprocity treaty with the United States
II such action had been taken, It is assumed that
the United States Government would first have
been notified but there has been no such notice.
and il Is fact that Switzerland stn continues
to enjoy the favored nation treatment Therefore
Is believed the report referred is merely
Intended to stimulate action by our State Depar TT
ment toward the conclusion of the reciprocity treaty
