This contract will be subject to rati-
hcation by the United Mine Workers
organization in the sub-district where
the strike originated. and by all the
members OF the Eastern Ohio Opera
tors Association. This ratification Is
understood TO be merely a necessary
formality.
The passage OF the Gallagher bill
by the Ohio legislature served rather

IL was admitted by both sides. how

next April. when the operators are eN-
pected to seek to negotiate a new con-
tract on a screen basis.
The Gala CHER bill. when signed by
the Governor. nullifes the Green anti
screen law by permitting operators to
sign either a screen or mine-run con
tract. The Green law compels the
signing OF mine-run contracts only. ac-
cording TO the Interpretation OF the
miners.
The miners hope Governor Willis
will veto the Gallagher bill. or that
they can defeat IL by a referendum.
They also predict they will be able to
negotiate another mine-run contract
next year.

WASHINGTON, May 6. - The
silence which has been consistently
maintained by the United States with
reference to the Japanese China ne
gouations since they began nearly
Tour months ago was broken tonight
by the issuance OF a statement by
secretary Bryan explaining the posi-
uon or the American government.
The statement was prepared earlier
IN the day after consultation with
president Wilson. While press re-
ports had told OF Japan's decision TO
send an ultimatum to China, no offi-
cial Information had been received TO
confirm this tonight.
Inc American government in its
pronouncement, in effect reiterates It's
adherence of the open door policy and
the maintenance OF the territorial in
tegrity OF China, and points out that
there has been mo abatement OF its

The negotiations between japan and
China may be concluded in a manner
satisfactory to both nations" and

some quarters as meaning that while

The text OF the statement follows:
In order that there may be no mis-
understanding OF the position OF the
United States in reference to the nczo-
tiations pending between Japan and
China the following announcement is
made.
AT the beginning OF negotiations
the japanese government confidential
ly informed this government Of the
matters which were under discussion
and accompanied the information bv
the assurance that Japan had no in
tentiOn Of interfering with either the
political independence or territorial
integrity OF China. and that nothing
that she proposed would discriminate
against other powers having treaties
with China. or interfere with the open
door" policy TO which all the leading
nations are committed
This government has not only had
no thought OF surrendering any Of its
treaty rights with China. but IL has
never been asked By either Japan or
China 10 make any surrender of these
rights. There is no abatement OF its
interest In the welfare and progress Of
China. and its sole interest in the

GOOD BOOKS.
When Personally Owned They Gather
Wealth Of Association.

When Personally Owned They Gather
Wealth of Association.
Cultivated men and women have al
ways good books among their most
valued possessions. and one annot be-
lieve that this taste can be sacrificed
without definite loss to our civilization.
The spoken word can never supplant
the written word. and in fact the pres
ent tendency is all toward substituting
print for speech. Nor can reading in
public places take the place of reading
ones own books In the quiet of ones
home. Books that are owned wait pa
tiently on the readers leisure, and to
have just the book one wants when
one wants 1t must remain one of the
supreme luxuries of a cultivated life.
Books, too, when personally owned,
writes Earl Barnes in the Atlantic,
gather around themselves a wealth of
personal associations. The very bind
ing, paper and title page recall the con
ditions under which the book came into
our possession. AS we open its pages
we remember the last time we read 1t,
the place and circumstances and the
people with whom we discussed 1t.
Books have personality, and they must
always remain the warm friends Of
their possessors.
