ALTOONA, Pa. March 1.-THE bitumin-
Gus coal miners and operators got together
to-day and agreed TO continue the scale an
other year. 1t calls for a SO-cent pick min
ing rate and a ten-hour day. The ten-hour
day is one of the important features. as it
practically eliminates the eight-hour day
from the anthracite field.
National Secretary Wilson, who is here,
approves of the ten-hOur agreement. Sec
rotary Wilson says that owing to the fact
that the general mining scale is reasonably
fair, settlements anywhere on the basis of
last years scale are preferable 10 striking.
To-day notices were posted at all the
tipples Of the Berwind-White Company

NO PEONAGE PERMITTED.
%Turpentine Operator Convicted OF Vio-
Iating n Federal S~tatute.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, March PA jury
in the United States Court here returned a
verdict of guilty against S. NJ. Clyatt, a
wealthy turpentine operator, who was
charged with a violation of the peonage
avs of the United States. The evidence at
the trial was to the effect that Clyatt
secured in Georgia several negroes, and.
coming to Florida, brought about their
arrests. The negroes were then taken. it is
alleged, TO Clyatt's turpentine farm. near
Waterloo. Ga. where they were made to
work until a debt they were charged with
owing had been paid. The case was brought
by the United States government, and this
is believed to be the first time that a fed
eral court has ever attempted to enforce
the statute against peOnage.

Cans, Baltimore's clever lightweight,
knocked out Jack Bennett, of McKees-
port, tonight in the fifth round of what
was to have been a twenty-round bout be-
fore the Eureka Athletic Club at Ford's
Opera House. Bennett, who had considera-
bly, the best of it in weight, put up what
looked to be a pretty fight while it lasted,
although ii could be plainly seen that Cans
outgeneraled him. The end came in a mix
up when the fifth round was about half
over. Cans saw his opportunity and landed
a right hook TO the jaw. which fairly lifted
Bennett off his feet and sent him into
dreamland. Charlie White, of New York,
acted as referee, and one of the biggest
crowds of the season saw the fight.

night President Gompers left his decision
IN writing with the c~Ontendingu unions, and
IL IS believed IL will practically result in a
settlement here before he reports more fully
TO the executive board, on April IA. While
Mr.. GOmpers finds both sides at fault, he
points out at length how much of the
trouble has come from Observation-Disclosures.
He holds.
"First-The claim Of the United Brewery
Workers over the engineers and firemen in
the breweries in the Cincinnati district was
without justification. The latter were al
ready organized under their international
union.
"Second-The action OF the engineers in
issuing their ultimatum that they would
not furnish steam TO the United Brewery
workmen was "A gross wrong, unjustihable
and indefensible.
'"Third-The engineers wholly misunder-
stood their rights when they locked out
others. They were employees of the brew
cries, and IL is not the right Of one craft to
lock out another.
"FOurth-The declaration that the engi-
Heers would not furnish steam for United
Brewery wOrkmen and would furnish II for
others was in itself an attempt 10 disrupt
the United Brewery wOrkmen, and was
grossly wrong.
"Fffth-The ultimatum issued for these
engineers without the consent, knowledge
or authority OF the Engineers Union was
a mistake.
"SiXth-LOckOutS are always bad, and es-
pecially this one. A lockout is the prerog-
ative OF the employers exclusively.
"Seventh-The ultimatum Of the engineers
was not contingent upon recent conditions,
but il had been long deliberated upon, care
fully matured. and was certainly wrong"

of the household furniture was saved, but
the storekeepers suffer an almost total loss
because of inability to remove goods. The
fire is supposed to be OF incendiary origin.
