THE COAL AGREEMENT.
Advantages Gained by tho Miners
Union Under New Contract.

The new, anthracite miners agree
ment. which has been signed for pc
Rod Of three years by the United Mine
Workers union and the coal operators
contains some distinct advantages to
the union over the old contract For
instance, under the expired agreement
discharges could be made without
cause and without explanation, which
OF itself was a serious drawback to the
growth of the union. for miners would
not be minded to join If they could not
have the unions protection against
discharges without alleged reason I'm
der the contract as it now stands a
discharged miner may have the rea-
sons for his discharge Sifted by the
cancellation board, which in turn shall
require the operative company to show
cause The right Of the miners to set
tie disputes through their own COM
m1ttees and those of the mine officials
before lodging such disputes with the
cancellation board is another advan-
tage gained to the union over the old
agreement. Heretofore the collection
of dues by the union officials at the
pay tables of the mines has been car
ried on by verbal consent. BY the
present agreement this right is StiDu-
lated in the contract.
The five new conditions conceded by
the opera tors to the workers are as
follows:
The rates which shall be paid for
new work shall not be less than the
rates paid under the strike commits
sion's award for old work of similar
kind or character. ,
The arrangement permitting the col
lection Of dues on company property
shall continue during the life Of the
agreement.
An employee discharged for being a
member OF union shall have a right
to appeal his case to the Cancellation
board.
Any dispute arising at a colliery
must first be taken up with the mine
foreman and superintendent before it
can be taken to the Cancellation board
The employers shall issue pay state
rnents designating the name Of the
company, the name of the employee,
the colliery employed, the half month,
the amount of wages and the class of
work performed.

The Spirit of the Age.

Ero,, N. trance once endless seeming
Nations have awoke at last
Man his spirit is rcdeernlng
From the thralldom Of the past
Mind has burst the bonds 2bhorent
Ignorance had forged tor her
Ieapinp like a mountain torrent
Der its rocky barrier.
Fast the clouds of doubt and error
Vanish under reason ray
Superstition 5 reign OF terror
Hath forever passed away.
Vainly rules now dlssemble
Well there every act is scanned,
Thrones are tottering, tyrants tre1nble
Their obstruction is at hand
Nor can all the aid restore them
Which enbat,led hosts afford
For the power which triumphs over
them
Is 1niphtier than the sword.
In his rights his worth believing
Man with regal polnp hath done
Mind a victory is achieving
Such as war hath never won.
Only to the Omnipresent
willingly we bow the knee
And alike in king or peasant
See but mortals frail as we.
Fearlessly the truth is probing
Systems time has rendered gray
Bland hypocracv disrobing
Tearing falsehoods mask away.

Natures mysteries to explore
Enters with fearless daring
Paths she never trod before.
From corruptions nists which scrouded

In blaze Of heavenly light.
Scorning creeds however hoary
Which mans intellect disgrace
Pointing out the path OF glory
Destined for the human race.

Speed in its work of good

SET IN HER WAYS

Sweet Mary Jane sat fourteen days and wouldn't deign to rise, although her folks tried every way to make her realize that 1t was quite unladyiike to sit al. day and night and never change her atti- tude or rouse her appetite. They coaxed and leased and threatened her, and still she would not stand, and when they tried to raise her up she bt them on the hand. They didn't want to do her harm or call in the police, and yet they sorrow ed at the thought of Mary lanes disease. But Mary Jane knew what was best. She wiser was than men, She sat until she d had her set, for Mary WAS a hen.

The grand. jury went into the timber situation at some length and n the final report we find these re- commentators:
 We further recommend that such changes, or amendments, be made in the TOW existing laws gov srnine timber regulations So as to 5liminage ths present hardships placed upon loggers. Ne first call attention to that part of the law compelling the logger to cut the top log to diameter of eight in- ches. or such size at the top which makes that part of the log iqvaluable for commercial purpos- ss, same being designated by the Forest Supervisor; also the piling of the tops and other brush, thus creating unnecessary loss of time and labor to the logger, Ne un- dsrstand that t2e point of law re- gativz 10 the piling of brush would b. applicablein dry climates. How ever. the climatic conditions ot this country have demonstrated that forest fires are practically un- known.
 We luther call your attention 10 the fact that considerable time $ lost through delay in waiting for the Forest officer to scale the logs after being notified by the logger of his readiness for sealing, and that n many instances the season $ practically gone before the seal sne by lbe Forest officer $ accom- pli=hed. thereby working great hards7ip upon the logger and mill maa.
