(By Associated Press.


New York. May AFTER carrying
On negotiations for nearly three
months. the sab-commission. repre-
senting the anthraeite mine workers
and the operators OF Eastern Penn
sylvania, today agreed to continue
the award OF the strike commission
for another three years and the men
will return TO work as soon as prac-
tieable, In all probability next Mon
day
All the miners who have not com
mitted violence against persons or
property OF the company will be cm-
ployed and none will be Disseminated
against because OF any activity ne or
they may have taken in the strike
moVen,ent. The agreement is subject
TO the ratification of the tri-iistrict
convention of mine workers which
will convene at Scranton tomorrow
but there Is not the slightest doubt
but that The delegates Will a1,lroNr
or the action OF their represeu,ds.cs.
This outcome OF the dispu - is now
looked upon with considerable salts

agreement entered into todav ~

predicted l"gI weeK, the agreement
was not reached without a final strue-
&c on the MT "f the m 'lers 10 get
something more.
President Mitchell In stating TO
operators the action OF the Scran-
ton convention. asked that the pro
posed agreement be made for a pc
riod of two years. In arguing for
two year term he said cost of living
might increase considerably In three
years and other changes in mining
industry might come that would
make present wage unfair TO the
men. Operators in reply said they
felt any contingency that might arise
VIII be covered by award Of strike
commission and they concluded by
asking award TO be continued three
years. This was then agreed to. In
taking up the question OF discrim.
ination against some men II was the
intention OF the mine owners to take
back only such men as they choose
TO re-employ, but President Mitchell
contested this point so strongly that
operators withdrew.
This is the sixth week of the suS-
pension and represents loss in pro-
G..ction OF about 500 900, 900 tons.
