President BAEE AND THE COAL NOUN
TAINs NEAR YOUNGSTOWN.
miners and the operators, business
men of the coal mining regions Of
Pennsylvania are expressing them
selves in favor of three years agree
ment with The miuers. This will be
the most important topic for the COM
ing conference between the coal min
ers and the. operators Of the anthracite
section of the state. Hitherto It has
been the custom TO draw up this agree
ment for one year.
The boards of trade throughout the
anthracite regions have adopted reso-
lutions In favor Of the long agreement.
The merchants argue that a one years
agreement disturbs business at the
first of every year. Normal conditions,
therefore are not reached until about
May l. Five months of uncertain
business every year. they say, is just
Il little bit too much
The miners, on the other hand, de-
clare that one years agreement was
formulated in the recent miners con
ventlon for the best interests of the
underground workers. They also de-
clare that at the coming conference
between the miners and the operators
they will insist that this clause be in
serted in the contract which will be
drawn up between them.
The union miners are asking that
their union shall make an agreement
with their employers and that the EN-
ployers shall be the collecting agents
for the union dues. Other requests on
the part Of the men are liable to lead
to disagreement. So far the operators
are standing pat, abiding by the last
arbitration order and not promising
more than it made incumbent upon
them

A correspondent of the Boston
Globe gives this explanation of the
old superstition against walking under
a ladder: "In former days. when hang
ing was done after n more primitive
and simple fashion than it is today,
the victim had generally TO pass under
the ladder which stood against the gal
lows for the convenience Of the eXecu-
tion. and he passed under that ladder
with the fair certainty of being imme'
dintely hanged What the unhappy
criminal could not avoid the average
pedestrian avoids today, even at the
expense Of his polished boots, by turn

Women and press.

WOman's beauty is perennial. Il
comes into being with her birth and
glorifies most of the years of her life.
In all times have there been fair wom-
en-, and in all periods some more noted
than the rest, and there ahve been
hundreds of noted beauties renowned
as much for their grace in wearing
fine apparel as for their physical
beauty. The face embodies beauty ana
ofttimes reflects inward beauty Of soul.
but the dress emphasizes love of the
beautiful and mastery of the high art
of wearing finery in the most charming
manner.
Do we like It? Is this what we want
in women? We do like It, we admire
Il along with her other excellent quali-
fcations If woman was made TO love
and be admired, then she should be
lovable and, above all, in a position to
be admired, and-tut, tut, to that hack
neyed phrase about fine feathers not
making fine birds. They most assured
" make very fne-looking birds, and
can't we admire a pretty bird, even
though It is not a song bird? OF course
we can. Likewise, we can admire a
beautiful woman, even though we
might not want to go within hailing
distance of her Haunting plumed hat
and beibboned gown. We consider
the well-dressed woman as the finish
ed picture, and picture subjects are
as varied as the different types OF
women. Women we love and admire
and men like them just little more
when they wear their satins and sables
to the best possible advantage. That
was evidenced in the reign OF Cleo
patra, and is also chronicled today in
every Sunday newspaper, where every
thing a little out of the ordinary in
dress is flashed over the wires or
| cabled from distant shores. And IL
that is not stirring up the details of
