SOFTC0AL MINERS.
END LONG STRIKE.
Agreement Reached In West
Virginia Trouble.
MONTHS OF UGLY RIOTS
Paint Creek Miners and Militia Have
CIashed and Anarchy Has Ruled.
Their Demands Granted.

Their Demands Granted.
Philadelphia, March z4-As result
of a conference held in the Hotel Han.
over between John P. White, president
OF the United Mine Workers of Amer,
lea, and T. J. Foster. Of Scranton. rep
resenting the Paint Creek Coal Min
ing company, of West Virginia, the
1000 miners OF that company, who
have been on strike for ten months,
are to be sent back to work, with
practically all their demands salts
fed
According to Mr.. White the princi
pal points at issue concerned the
granting of semi-monthly pay, check
weighmen, payment on the basis of
ton of 1000 pounds and the right OF
the miners to organize.
Mr.. Foster, on behalf of the West
Virginia company, conceded these
points. About 5000 men in the West
Virginia fields are still on strike. They
are those employed by the Cabin
Creek Consolidated Coal Mining com
pany.
Upon the heels of the announce
ment of a settlement Of the Paint
Creek trouble, Mr.. White received
word from West Virginia that Cover
nor Hatfield had released twenty-foul
men who had been arrested and held
by the military authorities.
Mr.. Foster came to Philadelphia to
meet the president of the miners I'M
ion. According to Mr.. White, he ten
dered the company's proposition and
it was accepted. Mr.. White will leave
for West Virginia to confer with the
miners representatives in the strike
districts and to advise upon legal &C
ton, which, he says, will be carried
through the supreme court Of the
United States to obtain for the miners
the right to organize. He expects alss
to arrange meeting between Cover
nor Hatfield and miners and opera
tors representatives for the purpose
of making a definite settlement of the
difficulties between employers and en-
ployes in all parts of the state.
The coal strike embraces both Paint
and Cabin Creeks. While fewer men
have been on strike in the Paint
Creek section, most Of the violence
connected with the mine trouble has
occurred on that district In the Cabin
Creek district majority of the min
ers, outnumbering the Paint Creek
men two to one, struck in sympathy.
1t is believed, with the miners OF
Paint Creek satisfied, that there will
be a speedy settlement of the mine
difficulty throughout all Of Kanakha
county.
The present strike had it's inception
April l, 1912. Since that time there
have been scores Of riots and consid
cradle bloodshed. Soon after he
strike was called Governor Glassc6ek
declared martial law. As the trQbpa
invaded the strike zone there ueyssop
ed practically condition OF anarchy
Bands of men travelled ahead Of the
soldiers, shooting up towns as they
went. Soon the entire militia Of the
state took the field. After time quiet

was restored and the troops were
withdrawn. Within short time Gov.
ernor Glasscock for the second time
declared martial law.
The troops remained in the strike
field for months. Gradually they were
Withdrawn until all had been ordered
home. However. the second martial
law proclamation was not lifted. A few
months ago miners and deputies en-
gagged in battle. Over a score Of per.
sons are reported to have been killed
but definite information as to fatal
ties has never been available.

Will Bear Only Numerals, With Differ.
ent Color For Each.
Washington, March 24.-The design
of a new and smaller parcel post
stamp to replace those now in use
was approved by Postmaster General
Burleson.
Numerous complaints that the pres
ent stamp, all denominations Of which
are the same color, Is hard to distin-
guish as to value and easily raised
caused the change.
The new design will possess no ar
tistic merit, but bear only large nu-
neral. The various denominations will
be in different colors. Approximately
$4,000 yearly will be saved by the
smaller stamps, it is estimated

SEE PAPA KILL MAMMA
Little Boys the Only Witnesses of Wild
Dual Traoedy
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Tarentum, Pa, March 24.-Angered
by remark made by his wife, George
Douthett, Jr, drew a revolver from
his pocket and fired four bullets into
her, killing her almost instantly.
He then turned the weapon upon
himself and fired the remaining bull
let in the chamber through his tim
pie. 1t is likely that the self-inf1icted
wound will prove fatal
The Douthetts were eating supper,
when the husband and wife had some
words. Withot uwarning Douthett
flashed revolver and fired four shots
In rapid order, and the wife rolled
from her chair to the floor, dead;
then the husband shot himself. The
shooting was witnessed by two small
sons.

French Orders,

A French statistician has recently
been very busy with the statistics of
the decorations in France and Of the
number of people who habitually wear
orders. The net result of his rather
startling calculations is that there are
sixty-five different French orders and
they are worn by no fewer than 1.700,-
900 French men and women. That is
to say, one Frenchman In every TWEEN
ty-one wears 4 decoration of some
kind

A Psychological Paradox.

A ducks a stupid. waddlng thing
And awkward as can be.
The bright hen moves with easy grace
And stately dignity.
Yet should you to yo.ss esaelneart say
To praise her, "You'zs a men,"
With deepest scorn she'd vow that you
The rudest were of men.
But note her bushes rise; her face.

Joy beaming, should sou TO her say,
"Ysu surely are duck!"

Montclair, N. j., March 24.-Mrs
Frances E. Lord, Of ITO Valley road

Mrs. Lord says that the noise made

muzzles will stop their outcries, and
Mayor Hinck does not think that the
