gates Next December to
Plan Campaign.

Philadelphia, Sept. 7.-President John
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
states that at the expiration of the pres
ent wage agreement. which ends next
April, the union must be recognized or
a strike Is almost certain. The other
contentious will be for an eight-hour
day and an increase of the minimum
wage scale.
A great convention of anthracite coal
miners will be held in December at one
of the coal region cities. at which 1000
delegates will assemble. These men
will plan q tentative campaign for us,
providing the coal operators do not
yield.
Said Mr.. Mitchell: II can only re-
iterate what I said at Tamaqua, that
no permanent industrial peace can be
established in the coal regions until the
union is formally recognized. 1t isn't
a matter of sentiment, but of practical
business. Unless the operators allow
us. as contracting parties, to assist in
fixing wages and improving conditions
Of employment, there is always likely
to be friction"

BATTLING NELSON'S VICTORY
Il was . Hard.Won Battle. In which.
Physical Endurance TriumphsA
Over Scientific Skill.

Cclma, CAL, Sept. 11.-Oscar Battling
Nelson, Of Hegeswich, Ill.,, won tho
white lightweight championship Of the
world from James Edward Britt in the
eighteenth round Of a desperately-con-
tested battle. 1t was a clean Knockout,
administered during a fierce mix-up in
Britt's corner that resulted in the final
ity. 1t came SO suddenly that it was
entirely unexpected. Inc end came
with a swift left drive. followed in a
flash by a right swing to the jaw, which
sent Britt to the ropes. and at the
count Of nine he rolled over on his
hands and was unable to rise. Referee
Eddie Graney then awarded the deci.
sion to Nelson.
AS far as Nelson was concerned, Il
was a slugging match from the opening,
and he won through superior ability to
endure punishment. At no time during
the fight did Britt's blows stop his ag-
~gressiveness, while Britt's efficiency
was seriously impaired on two occasions
during the battle.
Under the final agreement providing
for q losers end Of the purse-60 and
40 per cent.-Nelson will receive about
$685. 400 and Britt about SIS 800. In adj
dition each will receive $4,000 royalty
from the moving picture concession.
