Dead Cat Discovered in Supreme
Court Room Ventilator.

\ dead cat in the ventilator which
supplies the Supreme Court of the
United States with fresh air caused
something of a stir in court circles
yesterday. A huge electric ventilator
feeds the courtroom with fresh air, but
for several days the air in the court
had grown noticeably worse. Finally
the officers of the court set workmen to
look for the trouble. They found that
a stray cat had been caught in the re-
volving fans of the ventilator and
killed.
The cat had been dead several days,
and air drawn into the court chamber

Criticism of New Scale.

Considerable opposition to the rati-

Tested by some of the delegates during
the three days sessions of the con-
vention. Most of this conferred around
the form of recognition obtained by
the miners committee. Delegates who
spoke on the question declared they
would he satisfied with nothing less
than a closed shop and that failure TO
obtain this would result in the union
losing a large portion of its member
ship.
Otficers of the union explained that
. they. themselves. were not satisfied
with this clause. but that il was the
best they could get
There also was some dissatisfaction
over the four-year period of the agree

PLANTATION that if an industrial depres
sion should come within the life of the
agreement the employers could not
duce wages. Some of the delegates
had felt that the two-year contract was
long enough.

negotiated by the mine workers and
that in obtaining the eight-hour day

years in the anthracite region had been
realized.
Recognition of Union.
The agreement fails to include the
check-off system and the closed shop.
1t includes a recognition of the union
which provides that the contract shah
be signed by the district presidents and
the national president of the United
Mine Workers. The eight-hour day
with pay for nine hours and a per
cent increase for those who have been
working eight hours or less is con-
Sidered by the miners the greatest
concession.

hour basis and whose duties require
that these hours shall be continued
