the subcommittee OF the miners and opera
tors received a boost in the anthracite mine
workers convention here to-day, but when
adjournment was taken until tomorrow the
question of accepting or rejecting the pro-
posed new wage arrangement had not
reached a vote. It is probable the matter
will not be determined before Friday.
The surprise Of the day was the appear.

president of the United Nine Workers Of
america. who. on invitation TO address the

officers He was followed by Frank J.
Hayes. vice-president OF the international
organization Of the miners, who advocated
the adoption of the agreement.
Mr.. Lewis said that he believed the
anthracite subcommittee had obtained the
very best terms possible from the coal
Operators. though they were still far from
satisfactory He urged the delegates to
carefully consider the important questions
before them, and referred 10 the costliness
Of a strike.
The morning session was taken up en-
tirely with a discussion OF the first para
graph of the tentative agreement which
provides that II the new arrangement 10
finally signed IL will be for period Of
four wears. The discussion showed that
there is strong opposition To making the
agreement stand for that term OF years.
The convention also took up the wage
paragraph. The agreement provides for

scale abolished. which the miners cay
means net increase Of 5is per cent.

The witness continued that from the po-
