up-to-date working card; that no one works on union Jobs without becoming member of the organization; that the union clause is placed in all possible con tracts, and that where possible all differ enoes are settled in their incipiency. He is the authorized representative Of the union, with specific duties, which takes up most of his waking moments. As a re- suit the business agent has become recognized necessity, and instea of be- ing the target for all the bitterness of the employer, the business agent has achieved a standing that secures him fa- vorable consideration at most all times. The business agent does away with much committee work, which Is often injurious through being illy-conducted or by per sons well meaning but unfit for such ser vice, and which Is in ordinary cases un- weildy. It permits the members to pursue tho even tenor of their way, prevents them being the brunt of some petty spite engendered by their actions as com mitteeman, and keeps too many cooks from spelling the broth. For these reasons the business agent has been found to be worth more than his salary and that the best results are obtained through his &C., tivity.

SITUATION IN THE
 ANTHRACITE REGION.

The fact that the Birmingham district has upward of 10000 men who are mem bers of the same organization as the An thracite miners of Pennsylvania and that one of the chief industries of the district is coal, tho development in the Anthracite matter is being watched with interest. The Labor Advocate, the official journal
 of District 20, United Mine Workers, says of the Anthracite situation:
 "The attention of the public is again at- tracted to the anthracite coal region as the time is approaching or practically here. when the miners and operators have to settle the questions of wages and con ditions. The miners have already been in convention and considered the problems that confront them. The operators pre- ceded them by posting notices that at the expiration of the present agreement which was made at the close of the big Anthracite strike of something over a wear ago. the same wages and conditions would prevail. The anthracite strike, which was rhe most remarkable struggle in the history of labor, is too fresh in the minds of the people to need much repetition. The miners had been pressed and crowded until they had reached the point that the worm would turn, and the narrowing tales of the ''breakers' made the blood run cold in the worlds velns

REGGIE vANDERBILT's LOSS.
Dropped $1o8,ooo on Roulette at Can

New York, March 29.-The story of the day is the reputed loss by Reginald Van S1erbilt of $1a8 GOO at Dick Canfield's swell gambling establishment, next door to Del monicos- It appears, so runs the tale, that Reggie took in'' $z00O0 at play made the night before the young miluonaires dinner at Delmonico's last week. He mem tioned it at the dinner and some one sug- gested that he go back and break the bank.
 Reggie was game, and with farewell bumper for luck he led the way. He had won his $aaoOo playing the limit. ss5o a throw. But the limit compelled was too slow for Regg1e and at bis request the limit was lifted. and on being assured that his check was good for any amount he pitched in, playing red or black ex- clusixely and pyramiding his bets. 5000 each. When he quit he was $1oS, GOO out. He signed his check for the amount and smilingly left the place The next night he went back for revenge with 5000 in cash in bis pocket.
 He dropped it with a rush. and then Garfield manifested disinclination to let him play any more This manifesto ton and the urging of his staid brother.

SCALE CONVENTION
 OF THE MINE WORKERS.

The usual scale convention of District 20, United Mine Workers of America, of Alabama, will be held In June. At the December convention at Bessemer 1t was decided to again meet in that place, and the district executive committee will meet next Wednesday to set the exact date for the calling of the convention. In all probability 1t will be early in the month so that there will be sufficient time for the joint convention with the Operators Association. which follows The executive committee was instructed to use their best efforts to have the joint convention also held in Bessemer, but in fixing the place the operators wishes will baye to be considered.
 The eight-hour day will doubtless be the paramount demand in the coming convention although 1t is too early to even surrnise the result of the deiibera- tions of the convention. The present scale has been in effect two years and provides for a minimum of 45 cents and a maximum of 55 cents per ton as passing price for mining coal, the scale being on the Pratt seam. The most important change in the scale at last years conven- ton was the provision for the arbitra- tion of grievances. which has proven to work most satisfactorily to both sides and which is largely responsible for the peaceful conditions in the district, where there is plenty of good work and no trouble.
The age-herald., 1902-03-30

John Mitchell, the redoubtable president of the United Mine Workers of America was the man of the hour. With his trusty lieutenants and but 800 organized men he called Q general strike. The people were ripe to grasp at the straw of the drown- ing man, and the result was victory. A better scale was paid, the stealage Ill weights was partially stopped and the commissary robberies placed somewhat in check There are number of local grievances pending, but this was the gen. eral result.
 '"rhe coal barons of the anthracite re- gions are practically the railroad kings of this part of the country. They are most arrogant. They fear to give recog- hilton to the miners they have so long trodden under the heel of the most bale full system that could be devised by un- scrupulous men. It was with the cum ming of an Iago that they posted notices before the men made Q demand But the miners do not intend to have sand thrown into their eyes. Instead of 5000 members of the union there are now 144,0OO, practi- cally all the men in the district who have taken an obligation to uphold the union. They want recognition. Recognition they will have. They intend to get 1t through a yearly contract. The contract will pro- vide for the handling of all grievances,
  application of the details that go with the contract
 ''The operators threaten stubborn stand. The conservative and radical eie- ment of the miners agree on being Just as stubborn, and will Insist on the cher ished recognition even if 1t comes to strike. An increase of wages goes with the demand.
 "A struggle seems imminent. con ventton at Shamokin, Pa, has just been concluded, and the Civic Federation sec ing clouds on the horizon have volunteer ed their good offices to adjust the dif- ferences by conciliation, and at a con ference held in New York this week 1t was given out that there were no diff ferences that could not be adjusted. Workers organizations never make any demands that cannot be, but the adjust ment must depend on the attitude or the coal barons and 1t will be recognition or strike. May there be no strike but 1T strike 1t must be, may 1t be so complete and effectual that the anthracite miners will be emancipated for all time to come"

MEALS FOR i CENT.
Cheap Restaurant In New York starA-
 ed as an Experiment.

New York, March 2s.-Placards outside little restaurant which opened for busi- ness this morning at City Hall place and Pearl street announced meals for cent and the placard told the truth Inside a person might procure for a copper coin large bowl of thick pea soup. hominy, oats or barley. The res- taurant is an experiment. which its pro- prfetor, Bernard McFadden, says that he has established to show how cheapIy the human body can be palatably and satis- factorily nourished.
 Business opened at the restaurant with a rush. The place was so crowded with persons prosperous and otherwise, that within an hour the supply of soup was exhausted. There were a great many who ate there for the novelty of the thing and great many more who appreciated the low prices.
 To the newsboys and the street arabs of the vicinity the establishment ap- peared to be a boon. They came in drovea and went away happy to tell others of their kind about the new "eat joint" where the grub" was .Sreat and cost but one cent. They didn't care what the in- tention of the founder was; they wanted food cheap, and they got 1t.
 Among the other things on the bill of fare-which the managers say they will vary slightly each week-were beans. peas and potatoes, prepared with milk and whole wheat bread, which cost q nickel.

BUSINESS AGENT
 IN LABOR CIRCLES.

AS labor organizations gain member shin and become more generally recog- nized in the industrial world, the p~si- ness agent becomes more In evidence.
 The business agent is an evolution Of the person who in earlier days was called, often in derision. walking delegate. But unlike the walking delegate. while he Is continually engaged in the interest Of his union in particular. and all unions m general way, he is not forced to travel such a thorny road as his predecessor, al- though his office is not sinecure by any means. The business agent as rule Is selected for his particular fitness for the duties that fall on his shoulders. He is weil-informed active, intelligent, with a degree of diplomacy and adaptability and a loyal trades unionist. His duties are to devote his time In the interest of his craft. to secure employment for the un- employed, see that the union regulations are religiously lived up to, that the mem bers keep their dues paid, and have an

 It is said that the picture will proba bly, remain in Morgan's English home after it is withdrawn from the National Gallery.
