Increase Ordered For
Men in Mines; Back
Pay of $500 For Many
BY Associated Press

Hazleton, Pa, March 31.-That cleo
tricians, electricians helpers, watch
men, fire bosses, stable bosses, engi-
neers and other men in and about the
anthracite mines are entitled to a
wage advance of ten per cent. dating
from the amended agreement in effect
between the operators and their en-
ployes since 1912 was decided to-day
by former United States Judge George
Gray, of Wilmington, Del, as umpire
of the Anthracite Cancellation Board.
The decision sustains the grievance of
the stable bosses, engineers and fire
bosses of the Pancoast-Prlce Coal
Company, of Throop, Lackawanna
county, who got a five and half per
cent. wage increase in 1912 when the
miners received ten per cent. under
the contract that went into effect that
year. Judge Gray rules that the
agreement embodied all employees In
and about the mines, although prior to
1912 many of the monthly hands had
not been considered subjects to the
1902 award of the strike commission
named by President Theodore Roose-
welt The company contended that the
wages of these men had gone up
through voluntary grants from $50 to
$50 a month in the last thirteen years
but Judge Gray rules that despite this
they must be paid the 10 per cent. in
crease. This means back pay to the
extent of $500 to some of the workers.

Washington. March 31.-The fight

newed with greater vigor than ever at

Sheppard, of Texas, announced to-day.
Senator Sheppard started the move
ment for local prohibition in the Dis
trict of Columbia which, however, fail

Senator Sheppard declared the
action of Lloyd George, the British

either Austria or Germany, was signifi-
cant. THE experience of Russia and
the declaration of Chancellor Lloyd

After a brief lull in the fight for
possession of Dukla Pass. in the Car

Russians have not been able to gain

Carpathian front for the invasion of
Hungary and that they were defeated
in Bukowina yesterday. Dispatches TO
Swiss newspapers, however, say the
Austrians have suffered enormous
losses in Northeastern Hungary. 1t is
estimated that they lost 5000 men
