ment:
In the midst of a general con-
dillon of prosperity that has not
yet reached its apex, there are
number of persons all over the
country who are assuming, or at
tempting, to forecast a gloomy
future when the war shall end.
The minds of many are turned
toward the figures of exports
which now loom up large and
which, II Is taken for granted. will
be lessencd even long before the
conflict ends. This is probable as
perhaps certain foodstuffs, II the
allied powers succeed in increas-
ing their produc ton OF these suffi-
GENTLY. Some little effect In the
same direction will. doubtless, be
caused-particularl in the post
bellum period-because of the
economies forced on the peoples In
the belligerent countries and which
may become habitual. Once accus-
tom people to get along without
certain things and they are likely
20 persist in so doing. Still. taxi
ing all these things Into account,
there is small cause for disquiet.
The great volume of domestic
trade. which Is ever on the In
crease, and that from nearby and
neutral countries are calling for a
larger output OF products from the
fields. the farms. the mines, and
the factories.

Tri-DistriCt Convention Accepts
Agreement.
A RISING VOTE WAS TAKEN
Charge of Attempting to Coerce Dele
gates Into Adoption of Agreement
Brought Caustic Reply From Mr.
White.

The agreement between the anthra
cite mine operators and the United
Mine Workers of America was rltl
fed by a vote of 407 to III at the
tri-district convention in PottsVllle
following the reading and explanation
of the agreement.
A standing vote was taken after
speech by President White, who told
the delegates that it was their duty
to either accept or reject the agree
ment, and not to refer it back to the
locals for referendum vote.
The new wage scale among othel
concessions, provides for increased
wages, an eight.hour day and recos
milton of the union. 1t takes the place
of the agreement which expired on
March 81 and will be retroactive to
that date.
While the agreement fails to include
the check-off system and the closed
shop, it includes recognition OF the
union, which provides that the cen
tract shall be signed by the district
presidents OF the United Mine Work
ers and the national president. Tle
eight-hour day, with pay for nine
hours, and three per cent increase
for all now working nine hours ann
seven per cent increase for those
who have been working eight hours or
less, is considered by the miners as
the greatest victory of the agreement.
All hosting engineers working Oil
a nine-hour basis, and who will be
continued on nine hours, will receive
an increase of seven per cent. Where
three shifts of hosting engineers are
eemployed, the third engineer will re-
ceive the same pay as the hrst en-
gineer and a three per cent increase
A new rate is adopted for the pay
ment of machine mine mining and the
minimum rate fixed is now $3.50 per
day for the miner, $2.70 for the ma
chine runneer, ant $2.34 for the labor
er and besides this other agreements
are entered into for the first time to
regulate this new method of coal min
ing.
During the debate a delegate aroso
to inform the chair that delegates
have been circulating the statement
that the presidents, meaning Messrs.
White, Dempsey, Kennedy and Ma
thews, are trying to ccerce the dele
gates into the adoption of the agree
ment. This brought caustic reply
from Mr.. White, who said:
I'VE have agreed to recommend the
ratification of this agreement" He
asked:
What kind of representatives do
you think we are, after we have come
to an agreement with the operators,
to come back here to you to apologize
for what we have done? We have
given our advice and opinions and
have told you what we have done in
this work, and it is now up to yUu
to ratify the agreement. 1t IS with
you and with your conscience we have
done our duty. We have given you
every chance to talk, and we propose
to have final say as we have a right
to do"
