MINERS WIN IN Pennsylvania.

After Brief Shutdown.

After Brief Shutdown.
Pittsburg, April 2.--Pittaburg dele
gates to the Minors National conven-
tion who returned from indianapolis
today were jubilant over the adoption
by the convention OF the Perry resolu-
ton, which permits the operation of
all mines where the wage scale OF 1908
is accepted. While this action prac.
tically means the disruption, for q
time at least, of the interstate agree
ment between the miners of Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illi-
nois, it also means that there will be
no strike of Importance in this field,
and that $3.50 of the 28, 900 miners
in the Pittsburg district will continue
to work, with possibly a shutdown to
work off accumulated stock.
Chairman Robbins returned from In
dianapolis today. He is pleased over
the result, and said the conservative
action of the miners reflects great credit
upon they in being willing to depart
from presidents, which have been
against individual settlements in order
that great strike might be averted.
Mr.. Robbins said that all the mines of
the Pittsburg district would be in full
operation on Tuesday.

There was not a dull moment during

Program Printing Award Causes Debate
The report Of the committee was not
adopted. however. until. after a very
warm debate. In which some very sharp
things We're said on both sides. Charges
and counter charges were freely made.
A letter from r. Emmett O'Brien, one OF
the three bidders on the work Of print
ing the program. was read In which
O'Brien vigorously protested against
the action Of the Labor Day committee.
He charged that as Arnold wa an en-
ploye Of the Government Printing Of
ice he should not be allowed TO compete,
and he protested against Arnold as a
competitor as being unfair and against
the principles upon which the Central
Labor Union is founded The committee
which awarded the contract to Arnold

privilege o. publishing the programs

motion TO appropriate another 500 TO
aid the striking carriage workers. There
was an intimatiOn that the central body
was too generous toward the carriage
workers. and that other locals had not
been treated with such consideration,
notably the hOrseshOers. who had been
cut for eighteen months The appro-
priatiOn Of the 500 was voted just the
same.

Erie Millionaire Grants His
Former Wife a Large
Sum.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2S--After
three years battling in the courts. the
now famous case Of Agnes d. NaEle
against her former husband. Theodore
NJ. Nagle. an Erie millionaire. TO estab-
lish the parentage Of her child, so that
it might inherit the Nagle millions, has
at last been settled
This was plainly stated 10 Judge Belt
Ter, IN common pleas court No l. when
he called the Nagle case for a hearing
on the support proceedings brought by
the wife. None Of the attorneys or par
ties were in court and the fight that
meant millions 20 a child, the peace Of
mind of q man and the good name OF a
woman ended as though IL We're the
merest damage suit.
Admission Of Paternity in Doubt.
That the suit has actually been set
tied and that a sum Of money between
$4,000 and $4,000 has passed hands in
the transaction has been admitted. but
whether or not Nagle has acknowledged
being the father of Mrs Nagle's child
IS stil in doubt All during the three
years OF legal quibbling and fighting he
had asserted that he had not been living
with Mrs. Nagle for two years prior to
the birth Of the child
1t was the purpose of Mrs. NagIe TO
induce the deSeTtiOn court 10 make an
order of support upon the millionaire
for the benefit OF the child and IN this
way the mother hoped to prove it's
legitimacy and provide a basis for the
claim to the whole of the Nagle millions
after Mr.. Nagle's death.
No Argument as to Will.
None OF the attorneys, including Geo
S. Graham and Dwight NJ. Lowrey. on
the side Of the husband, and Samuel
Scoville, jr-, and Charles II. Edmunds.
on the side of the wife. will say wheth-
er or not Nagle. in settling this new for
tune upon his former wife. demanded
from her an agreement that she would
not dispute his will after his death-in
other words. relinquish the child's claim
to the Nagle millions
The understanding. however. Is =.
Millionaire Nagle has given his fCrna :
wife sufficient money to make her 81
Portable for the balance of her natural
life and has agreed to provide hand
somely for the child
Now that this new fortune is in the
hands of Mrs. Nagle, IL was reported
last night that fresh efforts would be
made to bring to trial the suit brought
against her by the woman who wants
damages for the alienation of the affec-
tions of her husband.
