Gadsden, June 2S.-(Special. )-fhe sec ond and last days meeting of the Ala bama Commercial and Industrial associa- ton was called to order at fifteen min utes past 10 o'clock this morning by the president.
 The first address was by the Rev J. R. McMullen. secretary of the Gadsden Com mercial club, his subject being the Ala bama Trade School for White Boys" MT.

 heartily given.

MINERS RESUME
WORK AT Once
CONTINUE AWARD OF STRIKE
COMMISSION FOR ANOTHER
THREE YEARS.
LONG STRUGGLE IS ENDED
MINE WORKERS AND OPERATORS
COME TO AN AGREEMENT IN
NEW YORK.

New York, May 9.-After carrying
on negotiations for nearly three
months the subcommittee represent
ing the anthracite mine workers and
operators of Eastern Pennsylvania,
yesterday agreed to continue the
award of the strike commission for
another three years and the men Will
return to work as soon as practicable,
probably Monday.
All miners who have not committed
violence against persons or property
will be re-employed and no one will be
Disseminated against because of any
activity he may have taken in the
strike movement.
Subject to Ratification.
The agreement is subject to the
ratification of the tri-district conven-
ton of mine workers at Scranton to-
day, but there is not the slightest
doubt that the delegates will approve
the action of their representatives.
This outcome of dispute, which
threatened to develop into long bit
ter struggle and paralyze great in
dustry, was looked upon with consid.
cradle satisfaction by the coal road
into is their first proposition made
early in March in reply to the mine
workers original demands.
Miners Have Little to Say.
The miners had little to say regard
ing the agreement, except that it was
the best they could get. They pointed
out, however, that the agreement en-
tered into is the first general agree.
ment that has ever been signed be-
tween the operators and miners, and
they look upon it as step forward in
their efforts to have regular agree
ments with their employers.
While the compact entered into yes.
agreement was not reached without a
final struggle on the part of the min
ers to get something more.
Ask Agreement for Two Years.
President Mitchell in stating to the
operators the action of the Scranton
convention, asked that the proposed
agreement be made for two years. In
arguing for the two-year term he said
the cost of living might increase con.
siderably in three years and that other
changes in the mining industry might
come that would make the present
wage scale unfair to the men. The
operators in their reply said they felt
that any contingency that might arise
was covered by the award of the
strike commission, and they concluded
by asking that the award be continued
for three years. This was then
agreed to-.

JUDICIAL REVIEW AMENDMENT
DECIDED ON AFTER MUTUAL
CONCESSIONS.
DISPUTED POINTS SETTLED
CONFERENCES OF BOTH FAC
1,oNs ARE PRODUCTIVE OF
RESULTS.

Washington, May 9.-The situation
If the railroad rate bill took another
decided change yesterday, and at the
same time there was an addltlonal
step toward final agreement as 10
what the judicial review amendmenI
shall be. The Allison compromise
proposition met with such determined
opposition from those senators who
have fought against a broad court
review. that despite President Roose-
velt's acceptance of it and his declafa-
ton that other provisions he had adj
yocated were not vital, all agreement
was reached by which several restrlc-
lions will be placed on the review
proposition These were agreed upon
in consequence of many informal con-
ferences on the floor of the senate
during the debate.
Counter Concessions.
The result is that in return for the
amendment comforting jurisdiction OF
circuit courts to review orders OF the
commissions, friends of the bill de-
handed, and by agreement OF senate
leaoers will secure, counter conces-
sions as follows:
That no order of the commission
shall be suspended or set aside by an
interlocutory order or decree without
a hearing had on the application there
for, unless at least five days notice
shall be given to the commission OF
the time and place fixed for said hear
ing;
That such order shall not be made
unless two judges OF the court to
which application is made shall con-
cur in such interlocutCry order or de-
cree;
That an appeal from such interlocu-
tory order or decree may be taken
within thirty days from the entry
thereof, but shall lie only to the SUI
preme court of the United States:
That the rate-maliing section of the
bill shall not be amended.
Most Points Settled.
The conferences yesterday, it is be-
lieved, have about disposed of the
points in dispute The agreement
reached by Republican leaders is a
concession to the Democrats. The
amendment providing for the giving of
notice of hearings for injunctions was
first offered by Senator Cverlnan; Sen
ator Bacon originated the proposition
for the hearing of such applications
by two judges, and several Democrats
introduced amendments providing for
appeals direct to the supreme court.
Senate leaders representing both fac,
lions predicted last night that the
compromise amendments will be
adopted.

that Charles A. Prouty, representing

Upon the decision practically hinges
