ANTHRACITE WAGES
UNDER DISCUSSION

NEW YORK, February 21.-Members
of the wage scale committee of the
United Mine Workers of America,
headed by John P. White. president of
the union. conferred here today with
orators in an effort to reach an agree
ment to govern the relations of the
miners and their employers after
March 81. when the agreement now in
force expires.
Neither Side Desires Strike.
Prior to entering their joint confer
ence today to arrange new wage
agreement representatives of the
anthracite coal operators and of the
United Mine Workers of America ex-
pressed confidence that an amicable
settlement would be finally reached
resentatives said
Details of the joint meeting were
completed by the operators at a pre-
liminary meeting held this afternoon.
1t was arranged that s. D. Warmer,
president of the Lehigh Coal and Nav
cation Company. should be president of
the operators caucus. 1t was expected
that Mr.. Warmer would be elected
chairman of the joint conference
The mine workers have selected Will
liam Green of Ohio, international secre-
tary treasurer of the mine workers
union, as secretary of the Joint confer
ence. The first business in view after
organization was the formal presenta-
ton of the demands of the miners bv
President John p. White. who was pre-
pared to deliver an address in s,pnort
of the demands.
The public can count on this" said
Mr.. White, as he entered the confer
ence. There will be no stoppage of
work in the anhra cite fields due to
action of the miners. long as oper-
ators show any disposition to reach an
agreement
I'VE are hoping and expecting an
early agreement that will be satisfac-
tory to all concerned But if an agree
ment is delayed for any reason we are
prepared to continue negotiations
while there is the slightest hope Ct
coming together. We have talked and
believe in peace. and We expect nothing
else"
Following this conference. there will
be another meeting Thursday of the
wage scale committee with operators of
bituminous coal mines to continue the
conference recently begun in Mobile, If
the confereeS are successful in reach
ing agreement the whole question of
wages, hours of work and recognition
of the union as affecting large part
of the coal mining industry of the
United States will be adjusted for am
other two years or more.

Willing to Grant Some Demands.

The operators in the bituminous coal
field are said to be willing to grant
some of the demands of the soft coal
miners. The recent discussions at Mo-
bile led to an offer by the operators to
grant an increase of cents a ton on
coal mined. which. it is said, would be
equivalent to an average of or per
cent in wages. Some of the miners
held out against accepting the offer.
The working conditions of about 49,
600 anthracite coal miners will he af-
fected by the proposed agreement. The
wage scale committee is composed of
thirty-fve men, including, besides
President White, some of the other Of
f1cials of the mine workers union and
heads of the district unions.

Period of Agreement Discussed.

One of the important questions to be
considered in the conference which be-
gan today was the period to be COW
cred by the proposed agreement. The
United Mine Workers demand that the
agreement shall remain in force for
only two years instead of the custom
airy four years. They contend that the
cost of living changes SO rapidly that
an agreement extending more than
two years imposes hardship upon the
miners.
The other demands of the anthracite
miners are for a 20 per cent increase in
wages, an eight-hour working day and
recognition by the operators of the
United Mine Workers of America as a

CAPTURES COYOTE WITH
DODGE BROTHER CARS

Capturing wild coyotes with motor
cars ia a sport not everyone is pr-ivi-
legged to enjoy. More exciting even
than the stories of the recent shark
hunting on the eastern coast is the
account OF Edward Spears chase OF
the wolf" on the plains of the Nc
Cord ranch, near Fresno. Cal Mr.
Spear is a member OF the firm of
Spear Brothers, Dodge Brothers deal
ers in Coalinga, Cal. The Coalinga
Record describes it as the fastest
twenty eight minutes Of fun in the
thirty years of his life"
Spear had two passengers with him
in his Dodge Brothers roadster. when
to the Record but the chase soon be-
came so furously fast that they per-
suaded him to pause until they got
out, Spear resumed the chase alone
The record says:
AS the car drew near, Mr.. Coyote
took a single look and was off like
the wind, but Spear kept right after
him. Finally the coyote. half fright
ened to death by Spears yelling, be-
gan TO slacken his speed and resorted
TO lodging, In an effort TO get away.
AS he would dodge. 80 would the
car. and after series OF lodges and
divea, Spear finally caught him with a
front wheel and put the predatory
Varmint out Of the running Spear
was compelled to run over the ami =
NAL four times before he could kill
him"

And have you put II in the yard
Where 1t doth lift the ban
The necessary, sanitary,
Big, bright garbage can?
And DO you keep the cover on
SO close that smallest germ
Into that conscientious can
Its way could never wormo
And does the fierce unswatted fly
1t keeps from plaguing man
That comprehensive, most extensive,
On-the-tob garbage can?
When, neishhor. into your backyard
Come curious police.
DO all the questions they would fire
In sudden silence cease
When they behold, IN solemn state,
Ere they have time TO scan
That hygicnic, though un-scentc.
Health-keeping garbage can?

The official mileage of the Lincoln

this, inasmuch as the highway is
torn up in q number Of places and
so long detours were necessary. In

spoke on Cooperation, before the
worlds falesmen's congress in De-
trolt Stating that cooperation as
applied to the travelling salesman has
three aspects. first, between the
man and the house; second, between
the salesman and his customer, and
third. between one salesman and an
other. Mr.. Anderson continued:
Ut is now generally accepted that
tho biggest fool in business is the man
who fools himself into the belize thrt
he can be anything but square with
the people TO whom he sells his
goods. The golden rule goes in ousi-
ness ever stronger than il does in
morals, religion or ethics.
But there is a broader phase OF
the cooperation between the sales
man and his customer than merely
not being dishonest or too sharp IN
ones dealings. And this broader CO.
operation is service"
