a crowd gathered to see what was go
ing on. The young men had bags
strapped over their shoulders and

few minutes after il had occurred, but
too late to see the thieves.

man living on the opposite side Of the

Reading Terminal this afternoon, il
was the general impression that sew

fore "A settlement is reached. Both
siucs went into thu meeting outwardly
compromising, but il WAS reported
that the operators and miners have
agreed TO compromise on a ten per

White pointed out that the meeting
virtually recognized the union. He ar
igued that the recognition should be
made real and formal, as in the case
of the bituminous miners, who were
recently granted q five percent wage

recognition
Despite inc avowed antagonism on
this issue the conferees were optimis-
tic about an agreement being reached
