ence Among the matters he disposed
of was the sending of copy of Presi-
dent Mitchelrs statement of the min

commission through this region was
an interesting one. 4 conference was
held at Pond Creek between the COM

est and just system of measuring the
earnings of mine workers.
''2. When the operators sell or
transport coal it is on the basis of Il
legal ton of 2,24O pounds.
So The excessive ton was original
ly intended to compensate the opera
tor for the weight of the small sizes
of coal which were then discarded.
but which are not utilized and sold.
and therefore there is no present ne
cessity for the use of any other than
the legal ton.
~. The adoption of this system
would remove an incentive, both to
the operator and the worker, to
cheating and dishonesty, and would
aTay jealousy among the miners and
prevent unjust discrimination and ia
voritism.
IS. The change of the present sys-
TEN to the one asked for would prove
strong factor in allaying suspicion
and discomfort among the mine work

-. The incorporation in an
agreement between the United Mine
Workers of America and the anthra-
cite coal companies of the wages
which shall be paid and the condi-
tions of employment which shall OBJ
tain, together with satisfactory
methods for the adjustment of griev-
ances which may arise from time to
time to the end that strikes and lock-
outs may be unnecessary.
Reasons For the Demands.
''In support of this demand we sub
NIT the following reasons:
II. The anthracite mine workers
should not be compelled to make or
sign individual agreements, but should
have the right TO form such organic
alton and choose such agents and off
GERS as they desire to act collectively
instead of individually when they
deem that their best interests are
subserved thereby.
''2. Agreements between employers
and employees through workingmen's
organizations are the ordinary meth
od of regulating production and
wages in the bituminous coal fields
and in other large Industries. and are
beneficial. successful and in keeping
with the spirit of the times.
50 Unions of workingmen tend TO
the DetIeT uISCipiiue vi tHc men diiN
to the Improvement of their physical.
moral and mental condition. and to
the preservation of friendly relations
between employer and employees.
~ Experience shows that the
trade agreement is the only effective
method by which it is possible to reg
ulate questions arising between en-
ployers and employed in large indus
tries. and that a trade agreement is
the only possible way to establish the
relations between employers and the
wage workers in the anthrac cite fields
on just and permanent basis and as
far as possible to do away with any
causes for the recurrence of such
difficulties as to those you (the an
thracite coal strike commission) have
been called in TO settle

UNITED KINGDOM TO BE FAVORED
Movement to Deny Coasting Privileges
TO Ships Bearing Other Than
the British Flag.

London, Nov. 4.-The Blue Book on
the colonial conference does not add
much to what is already known. The
resolution adopted on the subject of
preferential trade is the most interest
ing part of the report to the United
States. In the resolution the con-
ference recognized that preferential
trade between the United King
dom and the colonies would stim-
ulate and facilitate commerce. and
strengthen the empire: that in the pres
ent circumstances of the colonies it
would not he practicable to adopt IL
general system of free trade: that with
a view, however. to promoting an in
crease of trade within the empire it
is desirable that those colonies which
have not already adopted policy
should, as far as their circumstances
permit, give substantial preferential
treatment to the products and manu-
factures of the United Kingdom.
Imperial Grant Urged.
Four premierS' urge an imperial grant
to colonial products and manufactures,
giving preferential treatment in the
United Kingdom by exemption from or
reduction of duties Five premierS
present at the conference undertake
to submit to their respective govern
mentS at the earliest opportunity a re-
quest that such measures he taken as
may be necessary to give effect to the
principle of this resolution. y men,
Orandum from the president of the
r1 Of frnf A
premiers We're prepared to recommend
preferential treatment on British goods
as follows:
Australia Could Not Specify.
Canada-The existing preference of
33 1-3 per cent. and an additional
preference on selected articles by re-
ducing duties in favor of the United
Kingdom. raising duties on foreign i'm
ports, and placing duties on certain
foreign imports now free; New Zea-
land-10 per cent. all-around reduction
on present duties on british goods;
Cape Colony and Natal-25 per cent.
preference on British goods. Australia
was not in position to define the eX-
tent of the preference to he given.
COasting Trade Privileges.
Another resolution emphasizes the
deSirability of considering the refusing
of the privileges of the coaSting trade.
including trade between the United
Kingdom and the colonies and between
