DO you mean It, Pat?'. asked Hurst

"Of course l do" answered Dougherty
Well" said Tim. II I was you. I

Scranton. Pa. March 23.-Unless the
ri-district convention of anthracite
miners which began in this CITY TODAY
adopts plans for making further ef
forts TO obtain from the coal com.
panies a new agreement to take the
place OF the one which expires March
81 a strike Of the hard coal miners
will probably result.
There will be no compromise over
the question Of recognizing the union. -
said Thomas l.. Lewis. international
president of the United Mine Workers
OF America. Il have taken nv stand
on that proposition" he added. "and
VIII not move from the position | have
taken. | have never signed an agree.
ment that has not carried with IL re
cognition Of the organization. and ]
won't begin now"
This sums up Mr. Lewis attitude
and seems to clearly indicate that he
considers the recognition OF the union
paramount
There are no coal operators In
Scranton with authority to speak for
the large coal companies. but so far
as Is known the employers have not
changed their attitude with regard TO
the recognition OF the union. They are
as strongly opposed to such action as
ever and will. Il Is said. close their
mines and fight IL out before they will
yield to this demand of the men.
IL is believed by some miners that
the leaders would drop all their de
mands II they could have the organi.
zation recognized.
The present agreement between the
miners and the operators was made in
1906. to run three years. The operators
assert their willingness to renew the
agreement. but declare that they can.
not grant the present demands OF the
miners for shorter hours and higher
wages without increasing the price OF
coal. This they declare themselves
unwilling to do In view OF present In
dustrial conditions. The operators have
also come out for the open shop"

FOR GOOD ROADS
ststs Association ActksIr Il Wak.

Senator Lassiter, vice president Vir-
ginia Good Roads Association, and Capt.
T. st. Julien Wilson, State Highway
Commissioner, will now advocate coun-
ties holding election under the Ward law
for road improvement.
The Good Roads Association has been
busy on the bustings, and several local
associations were formed during the past
week.
Senator Lassiter spoke at several
places last week and has booked the
following engagements: Houston, March
~; Danyille. March %; Fincastle. March
"a; Manassas. March 27; Orange, March
20; Amelia. April 3; Aeeomac county,
Aprii and q; Northampton county,
April and g.
Senator Lassiter will continue a tour
OF the State during April, after which he
will conduct his campaign from the
office until after the farmers are through
planting, and as soon as the bar becue
and fair season starts he will again take
the stump, provided the treasury OF the
association will permits the expense.
Secretary Harwood and his associates
are conducting the campaign for mem
bership throughout the State. and thew
have SGT the mark at 10000 members
allowing 100 for each county In the
State
A membership this size viii give the
association an unusual amount of
prestige before the next Legislature
when the legislative COMMITTEES makes
known It's wants of additional leg
islation.
The work Of the association is hand,-
capped, owing TO lack of funds. White
u. 800 was pledged on floor OF the con-
vention, less than 10 per cent has been
paid. Unless the pledges are fulfilled
the association will have to abandon its
plans.

trectsd somewhat from the effect by
reading his debate. Next came Mr..
Chas. Saunders, IL, who handled the
statesman in well-expressed manner.
with some well received epigrams. Mr..
Geo. ID. Rowe. 10, closed with an appeal
for the merits OF the author and mar
shslled facts for his contention. The
