Conflicting claims are made by some of
the coal operators of the Kanawha or.
ganized district and the United Mine
Workers over a provision in the former
contract, which allowed the operators at
some of the mines to resume the monthly
pay, under certain conditions.
In the contract made by the miners and
operators two years ago it was stipulated
that where 25 per cent Of the miners
mained idle, the semimonthly pay day
could be abolished and the monthly pay
restored.
This provision was taken advantage of
at several mines in the district
After the new contract was signed ear
ly this month by the min ners and operators
the question arose whether or not the pro
vision in the former contract remained
the same in 1910 and whether the
mines mentioned above could continne on
a monthly pay day. The miners claimed
that when the new contract signed,
the slate was wiped clean and restored at
all mines in the valley until such time as
% per cent of the miners remained idle,
when the operators would have the same
opportunity under the new contract to re-
store the monthly pay. The operators
claimed that the signing Of Ike new con
tract carried with it all the provisions of
the old one

WARNING TONGS WANT
PEACE TO FOSTER TRADE

New York.-The warning tongs in
Chinatown are ready to quit their
guerrilla warfare and have appealed
to Judge Warren W. Foster, OF the
General sessions court to restore
peace. He will call together repre-
sentatives of the opposing factions and
submit to them a protocol similar to
the peace agreement which he pre-
vailed upon them to sign several years
aoo, after n similar outbreak. Com
mercial reasons have good deal to
do with the hatchetmen's desire for
peace. The oriental merchants. res
taurant keepers and amusement pur-
veyors in Chinatown find that the re-
ports Of miscellaneous shooting in the
crooked thoroughfares keep visitors
away and blight trade.
