Rides Through Country
In a Fast Drag Hunt
of War Stimson Takes High Jumps in
Good Shape -Thirty-fipe Persons FoLloW
Hounds Over Muddy Trail.

Riding a spirited chestnut, Secretary
Of War Henry L. Stimson participated
in the drag hunt held under the auspices
Of the Riding and Hunt Club of Wash
ington, yesterday, in Rock Creek Park.
Riding through a rough country, the
Cabinet officer took a number of high
jumps in good shape. and was with the
first party to reach the end of the trail.
Thirty-ffve persons, including eight
ladies', followed the hounds. The ground,
while a trifie muddy in spots, was ex-
cellent for riding, and the riders made
fast time on their ten-mile run. After
the hunt, the party were guests at tea
at the Chevy Chase Club.
Dogs Break Away.
Thirty-hve prize foxhounds. including
the pick OF ICY" Cummings kennels.
and eighteen dogs owned by the newly
organized club, followed the trail Some
copfusion was caused by the fact that all
but six of the dogs broke away while
Capt. C. D. Rhodes was putting down
the drag, and remained far in advance
Of the hunting party. It was more OF
a hunt for the dogs than for the end OF
the drag.
Capt. Rhodes left Pierce's mill at .
o'clock. and had gone but a short dis
tance when the dogs Jumped on the trail

PRESIDENT WHITE
ISSUES STATEMENT.

Cleveland, March so-President John P
White, OF the United Mine Workers
Union. in a statement issued tonight.
says:
The joint scale committee representing
the miners and operators OF the central
competitive field agreed upon a contract
governing wages and conditions for a
period Of two years. Their action has
been Endorsed by the policy committee OF
the workers. and will now be submitted
to referendum vote OF the membership
of the organization for final ratification.
The important feature OF the new con-
tract is an advance OF approximately. 81
per cent on all prices paid to all men en-
ployed in and around the mines, and
while We were reluctantly forced to make
concessions in the interest OF peace, yet
in securing an advance in wages we have
made substatial progress.
In addition the joint interstate move
ment has been rehebilitated and the re-

and beat a hasty chase through the
woods and fields.
Instead OF returning and starting a new
drag, Capt. Rhodes continued on his way,
and the dogs reached the end Of the
trail almost as soon as he did. The
scent for the drag was obtained in the
fox kennels in Geological park.
Secretary Stimson. despite the unfor-
tunate incident OF the dogs, displayed
great interest in the hunt. and declared
he had had bully" time when he sat
down for tea at Chevy Chase. He an
nounced his intention OF participating in
the future hunts OF the club.
Through Rough Country.
The riders passed through a great deal
of rough country, but the hunt was made
without accident. In some places It was
necessary to ford Rock Creek. and there
were some high jumps which the horses
negotiated.
Among those who rode were Miss Mil

Katherine Dennison, Mrs. Sinclair Bowen,
Miss Ethel MacMurray. Miss Jeanette

ENGLAND ENERGIES
FROM PURGATORY
Noted British Writer Characteristic
ally Tells of End Of
Coal Strike.
By w. T. STEAD.

London. March SO-A month ago I said
Great Britain was on the brink OF hell.
To-day l have TO report that Great
Britain Is emerging from purgatory.
The result is not unsatisfactory. The
strike OF the coal miners has cost the
nation about 5000 O00.Oo0. 1t probably was
worth the money.
On every hand IL Is readily admitted
that nothing will ever be the same again
after this crisis. The doctrine Of the
economical and political necessity OF a
living wage has obtained legislative sane
ton. and. what's more important, II has
been ind0ibly impressed upon the ma
tional conscience.
This has not been obtained without
great sacrifies. On the part OF labor the
miners have lost S2O, 600, 600 in wages, and
they have distributed 100000 of the
union funds in relief. Other workmen
thrown out OF work by the lack Of coal
have sacrificed equal sums.
BY the strange irony Of fate, the mine
owners stand TO profit by the strike,
which doubled the price Of coal II is
en- object lesson which may prove salu-
tary. There is much less likelihood Of
reckless striking in other trades for some
months to come.
Apart from the acceptance of the mimi
mum wage principle and the demonstra-
other solid gains to record. The first is
the establishment OF district boards un-
der an act OF Parliament for the settle
ment Of wage disputes in the coal trade
by conciliation and arbitration. The
second is the decision OF the government
to institute an inquiry into the causes
of the existing unrest-an inquiry which
may raise the whole condition OF the
people.
Confidence in Common Sense.
But what is perhaps the most valuable
asset OF all that we have brought out Of
purgatory Is the increased confidence Of
all classes in the common sense. good
temper, and patience Of the people. For
eign observers have been lost in wonder
at perceiying the leaders of the opposing
parties associating together on the
friendliest terms in the Hobbies and the
corridors OF the hotels.

the most able and uncompromising of the
militant capitalists, is a personal friend

brand of the South Wales miners.
You're going TO see Hartshorn?"
Thomas said to me. Give him my
love. You will find him a real good fel-
low"
As 1t was with Thomas and Harts-
horn. so It was everywhere. In London
and in the pit districts the utmost order
prevailed. At wigan the chief CON-
stable jocularly said the district had be-
come so orderly since the strike that he
feared he would have to put his police
men on short time.
So far. although a million men have
been at play for a month, not a life has
been lost. Only In two districts have
soldiers been called out, and in neither
did they fire a shot or display a bayo-
net. In districts which suffered the most
from the stoppage OF ocal, the people
bore their privations with the utmost
composure. All classes have co-operated
in feeding the destitute. but there has
been no panic.

restored to a reciprocal basis. This
means comparative peace in the bitu-
minous mining industry. These accom-
pIlshments are largely due TO the solid
arity OF our forces and the unity OF ac-
ton among the membership. Arrange
ments will be made to have the referen-
dunn vote taken Immediately. There is
little doubt that the miners will vote

BITUMINoUs OPERATORS
AND MINERS AGREE

Cleveland. March 3o.-The peace terms,
with one exception. recommended by the
subscale committee OF the bItuminous
operators and miners OF the four central
competitive States, was unanimously IN
dorsed to-day by the joint conference.
One clause was dropped, owing TO the
bitter opposition of the Western Penn
sylvania operators. They refused TO grant
the five-hour day for Saturdays. So
serious did the situation become at one
time that there was a fear the whole
agreement would be disrupted. But in
the interest OF peace the miners with
drew that demand.
Within a few days the proposed con-
tract will be submitted to the miners for
ratification. The policy committee voted
TO recommend II, and the submission will
be more or less a matter OF form.
The contract Is for two years. It IS
likely that the Pennsylvania and Ohio
operators will be permitted to work pend
ing the vote. Illinois and Indiana oper-
ators desire a suspension. The Ken
lucky operators have notified the miners
they will not operate their mines until
joint convention OF that district has
been held and satisfactory agreement
made. This may take thirty days. The
miners OF the Southwest will work, and
possibly Iowa. An important move for
the rehabilitation OF the mining industry
was taken. A commission was arranged
for that will use every effort to have the
Sherman antitrust law amended so that
II does not include the mining industry,
and also to have the antitrust law OF the
States changed to eliminate the industry
from their provisions. II was claimed
that the reckless waste and great loss
OF life in the industry is due TO the pres
ent destructive competition. II was also
charged that the same forces prevented
the miners obtaining a fair wage scale.
This commission will consist OF two
members OF the miners and operators
organizations in each Of the coal States

on account Of the death OF my father,
but after a while, OF course, 1 will en-
tertain and go around. and then I am
sure I will find that $4,000 is not any too
much for my needs.

have them, and 1 like to keep my own

thing OF that kind. But can dress well,

tertain my friends on that sum.
1T is very true that $500 Is the aver
age wage Of a well-paid government
clerk who supports his family on 1t. But
a government clerk does not have the
demands on his pocketbook from outside
sources that I do. And again he can
buy theater tickets for himself and wife
in the orchestra, and not have TO give
box parties and supper and dinner par
ties besides.
