SIGN NEW WAGE SCALE
President of Mine Workers o. AS
Schedule.

International News Service
NEW YORK, March 10.-The new
wage scale for the soft coal fields of
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and western
Pennsylvania was signed Thursday
afternoon by John y. White, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America. and a subcommittee repre-
senting the miners and operators in
the districts affected
The new wage scale is effective
from April /. 1916. TO March 81.
1918.
About $4,000 men will be bene-
fitted and it is estimated that it will
tack about $10.000,O00 upon the
payrolls of the companies operating
in the four states in question.
Edward Green, secretary treasurer
OF the United Mine Workers of
America, issued a statement declar-
ing that the action of the operators
in granting the rTn-of- mine basis of
payment vindicates him for the hard
tight he made in the Ohio legislature
TO have a law enacted making il
legally obligatory for coal companies
TO pay their miners on the run-of-
mine proposition
Charles Maurer. one of the Ohio
operators. replied TO Green's state
ment saying that the run-of-mine
proposition will prove ruinous to the
coal industry.

RUSSIANS WIN
DESPITE STORM
Officer Describes Blizzard

PETROGRAD. March fO-The
Successful campaign OF the Russians
against the Turks in Asia Minor has
been carried out under frightful
weather conditions Some OF the
hardships suffered by the soldiers
may be understood from the follow
ing narrative by an officer Of the de-
scent OF his men from the snow-clad
peaks before keprikai.
I'VE held "a position on the sum-
nit OF MOuut-. which rises
nearly 1000 feet above sea level.
Every morning there was a strong
wind. which drove before 1t masses
Of snow. and drfted up our posi-
lions 20 a depth Of from 10 10 Is
feet. Our shelters. huts. and kit
chens were an buried in snow. The
wind was so fierce that most OF our
huts were almost blown 10 pieces.

wire.
This blizzard lasted for days. for
weeks. and il was impossible 10 keeI

spaceful OF snow. as likely as not
the wind would fling into its place
two OF three times the quantity.
For whole days together we were
dependent on artificial light No
one so much as thought Of warm
food during those days. Not only
were our Kitchens buried in snow,
but we had no other means Of heat
ing water The hurricane howled
and whistled through our earth
huts. and prevented us from lighting
the stoves which had been placed in
them If one Of them was lighted
the wind filled the hut with smoke,
and the door had to be opened To
prevent sunocation. our lairs grew
damp. cold and cherries
The positions became critical.
The wind grew colder and colder.
our men were cut off from the sur

no hope Of rescue. But duty. that

sound Of a complaint or reproach
was heard

Our burrows above the clouds and
descend into the valley We began
the incredibly difficult task OF find

YEGGMEN SHOT IN
TITLE WITH POLICE

PENIS GROVE, N. j., Jan. S.-A
gang of six or seven yeggmen were
surprised in the act of of rob bling the
postoffice here early today, resulting
in three of the robbers being shot and
seriously wounded, while two others
are in Jail, following a street battle
between members of a sheriff's posse
and the yeggs.
Two weeks ago an attempt was made
to rob the postoffice here, and cit1-
zens secrete1 themselves within the
building last night in anticipation of a
renewal of the attempt. Today is pay
day at the big powder plant of the
Dupont Powder Company, at Carney's
Point, N. j., near here, and the rob-
bers anticipated a rich haul, the result
Of large amounts of money being
sent home by laborers and skilled me-
chanics employed in the big powder
mill.
On discovering the presence of the
posse within the building, the leader
OF the yeggmen opened fire the other
robbers quickly cOngregating around
him. The fight continued until it be-
came evident all Of the outlaws would
be killed, when an attempt was made
to escape. Firing continued while the
yeggs backed into the streets, but the
struggle there was short-lived The
three wounded men are seriously hurt,
and may not survive. Those in Jail

SAFETY FIRST
What the public wants.

What the public wants.
The mystery as to what the public
wants in the line of amusements has
at last been solved by Halton Powell
known throughout the country as the
most alert musical comedy producer
of the west. Many a travelling man
and woman, as well as people from
this city have observed the safety
first" signs along the street car lines,
depots, elevators, stores and other
Iablic places, but never for a moment
giving it a thought that a musical
comedy would ever be staged under
this familiar title, but it has just the
same as Halton Powell who is also
responsible for many of the current
successes, has recently produced a
Lew musical farce which he has nam
ed Safety First" and it is enjoying
the biggest business in the history of
tkeatricals Mr.. Powell has spent
laany a night in studying the public
wants and has come to the conclusion
that good, clean, bright comedy with
good music and dancing are the essen
tial elements with which to gain
public favor and generous patron
age.
Safety First" is his latest vehicle,
fCunded on the niftiest and catchest
ideas. 1t is musical comedy filled
full of pretty girls with beautiful
scenery and costumes. Moving pic
lures are at present the public craze
They can produce almost everything,
hut cannot compete with a genuine
musical comedy, because the public
cannot hear the good singing, hear
tie funny jokes of the comedians, and
Il say the least see the young pretty
maidens in their beautiful costumes
aid artistic dancing. Safety First al
ways and for this reason Mr.. Powell
has taken no chance and has engaged
carefully selected cast with artists
from we'll known Broadway produc-
tions. 1t is Powell brand of girl show
and is sure to please. Safety First"
will be presented at the Opera House
On Thursday January 18th, for the
first time, and for one night only.

Nothing could come to pass, in tie

to the general good of city and county

on a sound basis, that is with capital

help to find market Off corn, oats.

onions, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes.
and other now perishable farm pro-
ducts. and to buy them when brought
in, by the producer, and give him
market Off other products than for

keep on hand such line of goods that
is of need on the farm and which the
producer would gladly exchange for

we are to meet conditions, it seems

MILITIA HANDLES THE
RIOT|hG By STRIKERS

wandering about the streets of Youngs-
town today. These people were all
either driven from their homes by the
fury of the mob, or had their homes
destroyed during the confiagration
which swept over the city during the
cltinuance of the rioting. Hundreds
C. the injured bear knife wounds upon
tier bodies, and this, according to the
authorities now in control of the situa-
ton, bears out the statement that the
rioters after being driven from the
streets by the militia, began fighting
among themselves. Many of the in
jured are in a serious condition, and
additional deaths may result during
today.
The rioting began late Friday when
a crowd of two hundred persons gath
cred at the head of the bridge leading
from the company village to the main
plant of the Youngstown Sheet Metal
and Tube company, and probably had
its origin in labor troubles between the
company and its employees. Some I'M
known person in the mob is credited
with. having fired the first shot, to
which armed guards stationed about
the metal plant, replied with a volley
fired over the heads of the crowd. Mem
hers of the mob returned this fire,
whereupon the guards fired in
to them, wounding several The mob
as partially dispersed by this action
but soon reformed and returned to
the scene of the trouble.
Two buildings belonging the Youngs-
town Sheet Metal and Tube Co., were
the first structures fired by the riot,
ers. The mob then turned its attention
to saloons and stores in the heart of
the business section, looting and ap-
plying the torch everywhere. This
rioting continued unhindered until
nearly midnight, the authorities being
powerless to enforce order. Shortly
after midnight, however, a posse of
forty prominent citizens, reinforced
by the entire police force of Youngs-
town attacked the mob and forced
them to flee. This posse before re-
turning to police headquarters, sue
ceeded in rounding up one hundred of
TIE rioters, who were placed in Jail.
Troops reached Youngstown about day
break, too late to assist in the work OF
dispensing the rioters, but have been
of material assistance in preventing re-
currence of last nights disgraceful
scenes.
