Been Taken.

Years In Anthracite Regions, Sub

scribed In Quaker City.
The new agreement between the an
thracite operators and the anthracite
mine owners was signed in Philadel
phia.
The agreement is the one approved
by the mine workers in their conyen-
ton at Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, and
assures peace in the hard coal fields
for four years.
The agreement was signed in the
Reading Terminal, where the COM
mittee of ten union officials, headed by
their national president, John P.
White, met the operators committee
of ten, headed by George F. Baer, as
chairman.
The statement issued after the
agreement had been signed is as fol
lows:
"The committee representing the an
thracite mine workers and the anthra-
cite operators met and adopted the
report of the joint subcommittee ne
gOtiating an agreement governing the
relations of employees and employers
in the anthracite region"
The statement revealed in full the
terms of the agreement, which have
already been published.
Il am very glad this thing is set
tied and out of the way" said Mr..
White. Il leave for Indianapolis now

White was accompanied to the ses-
sion by the principal officials of the
union in the anthracite regions, in
Guiding John T. Dempsey, president
of district No l; John Fahy, president
of district No. 8, and Thomas Ken.
nedy, president of district No. Z.
The contract, as heretofore, was not
signed as an agreement with the
United Mine Workers of America, as
an organization. 1t will be subscribed
by the officials representing the men
in the anthracite regions only, districts
1, and 8.
The 100000 workers, idle since
April l, having lost S17000,OOO in
wages, will return to the collieries. By
the end of the week most of them are
expected to be at work. Some of the
mines may not be ready for them be-
fore next week.
The forces of repair men and pump
men, most of whom were not required
to respond to the suspension call, were
augmented by the return of many 9th
ers, who will get the collieries into
shape for the coming of the miners.
Most of the mines are ready to be op-
Grated now.
There is great rejoicing throughout
the hard coal fields. White has become
the new idol" of the men, who by
vote of a large majority of the dele
gates in the convention Saturday af
ternoon supported him and the other
union officials who had to do with the
agreement. He has been congratulated
by thousands. including many of the
operators.
Merchants, who are said to have lost
SIG, 100000 in trade because of the
prolonged suspension; the authorities,
who had trouble with the lawless ele.
ment a week ago; clergymen and the
wives and families of the miners join
in the jubilation that a serious indus.
trial warfare has been averted. The
operators also rejoice and are prepar-
ing to work the collieries to their full
to fill long-held orders.

FARCE SUCCESS
Butte Theatrical Critic Says the Play
is Great-The Music 10
Melodious.

Alma. Where Do You Live? will be
at the Fargo operahouse tomorrow
evening. The Butte Miner had the
following notice Of the company that
is to appear here:
For three acts Of that wonderful
French farce, Alma, Where Do You
Live? O.. v. Hobart has translated and
reconstructed, all of the male charac-
tiers fire this question set to
music at a certain Partisan miIliner OF
irresistible charm. Then, when the
curtain falls and the spell is broken,
the audience HUNS it in the foyer and
carries home the pleasant memory OIL
the most melodious music they have
heard this season, the most charming
woman they have seen on the stage in
several eason and the heartiest
bunch of outlaws they have expert
enced in a month. A goodly number
saw the play last night at the Broad
way.
SONG and Play Distinctive.
Alma, character, song and play, are
all distinctive. The character is made
distinctive by Nannette Flack, a
charming actress with an irresistible
smile, a wonderful voice and a great
stage presence. The music, for which
Jean Briquet is given credit, makes
every one Of the fourteen numbers,
which have been interpolated natural
ly into the action of the piece. a hit.
Alma is described as French vaude-
vile. That designation is probably the
best one, but it doesn't seem adequate.
1t doesn't half convey the many charms
of which the play boasts. To begin with
there is more fun in Alma than in any
half dozen musical shows n might
name. The book belongs in the same
category as Seven Days. The For
tune Hunter and the like, while the
music is divine.
Miss FTack and G. A. Murray carry
the honors of the piece. There are few
actresses who boast Of a personality
like Miss FIacks, and the equal of
her voice has not been heard here since
Grace Van Studdiford achieved a per-
sonal triumph in The Paradise OF
Mahomet. Miss F1ack has the queenly
bearing, the coquettish mannerisms
and the beauty the title role demands.
In addition to this she is versatile and
far more clever than the average wom-
an Of the stage.
