RECIPROCITY WITH CUeA.
Washington Officials Believe NJ
Treaty Can Be Arranged.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The officials
here are not sure that any reciprocity
treaty with Cuba which Minister
S1uiers may draw up will have to be
submitted to the Cuban house of rep
resentatives. but they incline to the
opinion that it must be. If this SHOULD
be the case, then the reported organi-
zation of the Cuban house by major
ity hostile to closer relations with the
United States undoubtedly will post
pone indefinitely the cons,,mmation OF
a reciprocity treaty. The adninistra'
tion already has taken into considera-
ton what it regards as a strong prob
ability that Cuba and the United
States must get along for consider
able period without any more definite
trade relations than now exist. Viola
tions of the Platt amendment by Cuba,
in act or spirit, will be scarcely con
sidered' as sufficient cause for imme-
date intervention by the United
States, owing to the prevailing opin-
ion that the responsibility for the OBJ
servance of that act lies with the Gu
bans themselves. since they have in
corporated it in their national consti-
tuition. Of course this attitude Of
nonaction on the part OF the United
States government will not apply in
case any foreign country seeks to
come between the United States and

the vessels coming in and turned the
current of immigration. that is, the
Slav immigration, into the coal fields. y
''Have miners been obtaining homes
to any extent during the past ten
vars?" the witness was asked. which
elected the response that they had
been, with the possible exception of
the Italians. who did not settle in the
United States.
MIR. Roberts here compared the
Slav standard of living with that OF
the native-born American. showing 1t
to be far below the standard of the
American workingman. Very few OF
the miners children. he said. after
they have passed the age of fourteen,
attend school.
The witness declared, in response to
questions, that a miners work is more
risky than any other large industry.
There were more deaths in the mines
than on the railroads, but fewer ac-
cidents.
He said that the social worth and
manliness and individuality OF the
Slav have been greatly increased
through the miners union.
Majority Work Underground.
On a further cross examination. Mr..
Roberts said that OF the 147,0n0 mine
employees in the anthracite fields $4,000
worked underground. He admitted
that in some instances on account or
impurities the measurement OF coal
by weight would be impractcable.

can there be any uniform standard OF
wages, or where fixed would the wages
apply to the whole coal regions or to
one colliery that would do justice to
the employe and employer"
The witness replied that he did not
know whether that could be done, but
said that where work is the same or
nearly so there was no reason why
wages should be different.
At this point the commissions adj
iourned until 10 o'clock in the morning.
