 No Increase in Wages,
 They also asserted that present market conditions did not warrant any increase in wages or a decrease in working time. The presidents of the coal companies out lined three propositions and said that under no circumstances would they re- cede. Those propositions were as follows:
 First, that there should be no dis tinction between union and non-unlon men.
 Second, that the officials of the com panies would meet committees consisting of employees to discuss and adjust all grievances The members of the commit tees must be persons in the employ or the companies but the matter of their appointment would not be inQuiFed into. either as to their reiision, politics or membership in labor organisations.

 The miners representatives pledged themselves to withdraw the threat of a partial strike on April l. Both sdes are to take time to consider the repre- sentations made today and in tntrty, da!s, or at call. the committee Is To meet ana hear the results of this deiDeratioh' All agreement seems likely.
 President Mitchell tonight sent teie- gram to the secretaries Of the three ah- thracit districts. saying in part:
 We are hopeful that questions at issue will be satisfactorily adjusted and strike averted. Notify all mine workers to de- fer action upon resolution adopted at Shamokin convention.

 Tt is frequently necessary to allow men manifestly guilty to go free. In this case we never could have gotten con- viction without Jones's testimony and in witness immunity. I cannot say definite ly just what this office will do. as I said, Jones's testimony convicted Patrick and it might be very inexpedient to prosecute him. In some cases unless there was just such testimony as the valet gave we could not bring to justice the really guilty persons

A Word to Young Men.
Uniontown Evening Genius,


Like begets like. He who shows
an interest in the welfare of his EN-
ployer will in most instances find his
employer showing an interest in his
welfare. The man who makes it a
rule TO quit his labor on the stroke
of the clock, when a few minutes
more would often finish some press
ing piece of work on which he is en-.
gagged, Is invariably the one who is
dropped first when necessity compels
curtailment IN the number of EN-,
ployes.
These facts are well worth bear
ing in mind. If your employer IS
just and fair, young man. see to it
that you render him faithful and
adequate service, for the time is
sure to come, when you have set up
in the world for yourself, that you
will either seek his advice, his en-
enlargement, his recommendation or
bis aid. If you have served him
we'll you may get either or all. If
you have been faithless that ends
it. No need to apply then, except
possibly for charity.
There IL 40 reward for laziness.
neglect. wastefulness, insincerity or
treachery. And as high as every
thing else, il not above everything
be truthful Do not lie There is
nothing so contemplate as "a liar.
The occasion NAV come when your
employer may feel compelled to rake
you from stem to stem for telling
him the truth about something you
should or should not have done, but
you have the satisfaction of know
ing that you have not lost his con
tidence, and that is good deal more
to you, young man, than the temper
airy laceration Of your feelings. Over
the latter you can afford to laugh in
few days Over the other never.
