FEARS COAL STRIKE
OPERATORS REJECT ALL PROPO.
SITIgNS OF The MINERS.
Coal sarons Claim II They Raise
Wages They VIII Have to Raise
Price Of Coal and They Claim the
People Cannot Afford the Raise at
TINS Time.

The propositions OF ,Le United Mine
workers OF America for readjustment
OF wages and conditions in the an
thracite coal fields, as a whole have
Deen rejected by the operators. AS
counter proposition the operators sug-
gest that lie awards made by the an
Ihracite coal strikes commission, the
principles upon which they are estab-
lished by the commission and the
methods established for carrying out
their findings and awards, shall be con-
tinued for further term OF three years
from the LIST day of April, 1svo. The
present agreement terminates March
81 of this year.
Announcement of the anthracite op-
orators decision and their counter
proposition was made in long formal
statement which was given out for pub
lication. This statement, which In
cludes the correspondence on the sub
jects at issue between President John
Mitchell o. the United Mineworkers,
acting for the miners, and George f.
Baer, president of the Philadelphia a.
Reading Coal & Iron company, for the
| operators, discusses the miners propo-
sitions in detail. In every instance the
contention is made by the operators
either that conditions in the coalfelds
do not warrant the change proposed
by the miners, or that the questions at
issue already have been passed upon
| by the strike commission.
Cannot Increase Wages.
I'VE can not increase wages with
out advancing the price of coal and we
are not willing to advance the price
If COAL" is the reply to the demand
Tor a general increase in wages.
In conclusion, the statement says:
1T has been our hope, and we trust
the public expectation as well, that
the effect of the exhaustive investiga-
ion and findings of the distinguished
citizens who constituted the anthracite
strike commission would be to estab-
fish just and permanent adjustment
If the relations between the operators
and their employees. Therefore, we re-
iect the suggestion that an entirely
new and untried system should be
made which is only to last one year.
ut is not to Tie interest of the en-
ployers and employees, nor of the pub
lie. to have the mining business as
well as the general business and COM
fort of the people seriously disturbed
by these yearly contentious.
Neither the public nor the opera
tors can stand these progressive and
enormous increases in the cost Of the
production of anthracite coal. followed
necessarily by corresponding increase
in the price.
1T is peculiarly fortunate, there
fore that existing conditions have all
been the result of arbitration by third
persons; that neither party can say
that 1t has not had due consideration.
There can be no doubt that the good
Of all concerned will be served best
by adhering to the results thus
reached"

The arrangements for the Harvard play
are in every way similar to those In h big
stadium at Athens a year ago, when the
@Antigone' was presented to the delegates
to the International Archaeological Con-
gress. 1t was in the Athens stadium that
the Olympic games, at which the American
team carried of the honors, were recently
held.
Like the scenery; all the costumes and
accessories will be modelled after the orig
inal Greek. Two ohariots Will be used In
the play. They are modelled after the
Greek chariot, with straight front instead
Of the round front Of the Roman chariot
and we're designed after chariots In the
Parthenon frieze and on ancient vase paint
ings.
These were built with funds provided by
the Porcelain and Alpha Delta Phi clubs.
These two student clubs gave the money
ON condition that they should be permitted
to use the chariots for a race after the play
has been given.
The chariots will be drawn by SMALL
cream colored Norwegian horses with
hogged names, closely resembling the horees
used by the Greeks, The animals will be
provided by Warren Delano, Jr.. Of New
York, a Harvard graduate, who breeds
them. They have been trained TO the

sailor he is the best OF weather Sharpe.
A rain storm raises such q smoke from
the trench that the barbeouer can't watch
his meat and tell when TO turn il. Az o
result, it Is often burned. Gus, when the
smoke blinds his eyes, depends on his nose.
The trench Is usually guarded against
heavy storms by little drainage bitches
around 1t.
At barbecues in the old days, in the days
when Gus first began to take q hand at them,
they used to put squirrels and rabbits and
wild pigeons over the trenches along with
the other things, but even in the South
these have become too scarce now to have
them at big barbeoues. That is about
the only difference, though, between the
political barbecues OF the present day and
those that Gus got up forty OF. fifty years
ago.
AS an illustration Of the strength Of his
burgoo as a vote getter Gus tells about his
experience last year when Beckham was
running for Governor Of Kentucky on
the Democratic ticket and Belknap on the
Republican. Belknap was mighty popular
and a good many Kentucky Democrats
were for him.
That is probably the reason that Gus
consented to get up q barbecue for him.
1t was a good barbecue, but there was one
thing missing-burgoo. Gus had held that
up his sleeve. He produced 1t when Gov.
Beckham had his blowout, dishing out
the stew along with the barbecued meat.
OF course, Beckham won.

Of Sophocles.
Widespread interest was manifested in
this performance, both in the United States

were many men who have since become
