A wind that's from the rocks and sea
and scented by the pine
Sweeps through the sycamores today,
and where sequoias line
The ranks Of giant sentinels that guard
the western slopes,
The balsam of this briny breeze brings
heavy hearts new hopes
The mountains and the rivers cry the
message that is Names
To men whose pride was shattered,
and their desperation wanes;
Again their hearts are raised to look
the future in the face
For Maine has been the clarion that's
heartening a race.
Twas shame that sunk the souls of us
to depths we never knew
In days our flag was honored In the
harbors where it flew,
When nations paid us homage, for
they knew our hands were white,
Ere blood of our own countrymen had
stained them like a blight.
And now again our songs we sing of
deeds that we must do
To make the dream that passed away
come marvelously true;
For the sturdy souls that breathe the
pine have brought to life again
The faith that fills a nations heart
that feels the wind from Maine.

Pottsville, Pa, May 3.-Considera-
ton in detail of the tentative agree
ment reached between the scale COM
mittee of the United Mine Workers
and the anthracite coal operators was
begun here to-day by the mine work.
ers' convention of the hard coal fields.
The first progress of the agreement,
which provides that it should be
entered into between Districts /, z
and . representing anthracite mine
workers organization and the anthra-
cite operators. provoked a discussion
of recognition of the union. District
President John T. Dempsey, of Scran-
ton, in explaining the paragraph, said
that the miners have effective recogni-
ton of their organization with the
exception of the closed shop. 1t was
the best that could be obtained under
the circumstances.
Several delegates expressed dissats-
faction with the paragraph because it
did not provide for the closed shop
and stated they had been instructed
by their local unions to vote against
limited recognition.
After about dozen delegates spoke
for the closed shop. District President
Thomas Kennedy, of HaZlton, declared
that the form of recognition obtained
was the best that could be obtaiped.
He said he was just as much in favor
of the closed shop as any delegate o.
the floor. The debate with the opera
tors in the conference President Ken
nedy said was "bitter and vicious"
and after seven days discussion a
break was imminent. Realizing their
responsibility he said, the miners
committee considered whether they
should go to a strike on the sole
issue of a closed shop and plunge
10000 men, with their wives and
children, into serious struggle. Faced
with such a situation, Mr.. Kennedy
continued, 'the officers of the union
accepted the form of recognition con-
tanned in the tentative agreement az
the best that could be obtained at this
time.

and working conditions than private
employers. l believe the government

'HARDSCRABBLE' WAIT
SOME DECISION
[Continued From First Pagel

This same citizen stated that twelve
or fifteen of the owners of property
in the district were in the same plight
as himself and he expressed the hope
that the courts decision would come
soon so that those who were ready to
accept the award of the viewers could
make arrangements for removal else
where during the summer. 1t is un-
derstood that several of the banking
houses have agreed to accept assign
ments of the award of viewers and in
this way furnish the money needed
for the purchase of other properties.
How One Loses Money
In one case one of the owners of
the condemned property had pur-
chased a dwelling, expecting to pay
for 1t from the proceeds of the award
of viewers, but the appeal held up
the transaction and he is now in the
position of having made partial pay
ment and entered into an agreement
of purchase without being able to
complete the transaction.
Among lawyers the position of the
city in the matter is expected to be
sustained by the court and in this
event some of those who had been in
duced to participate in the appeal and
who are said to be now regretting

Finally, when it was deemed best
to issue the call the Governor was

Clement ordered the organizations in

followed in this form:

Careless Coal Handling


There is much complaint among
property owners in the district grow
ing out of the careless handling of
coal at Front and Broad streets and
the general messy" condition of that
section. One resident said this morn
ing: "All we ask is a fair deal We
realize that these properties will be
taken over by the city and as we can't
make any improvements for which we
will be reimbursed. our homes are not
what they ought to be. Some of my
neighbors are complaining that their
roofs leak and the conditions are far
from satisfactory"
President Judge Kunkel has been
busy with election cases for several
days, but it is understood that he will
take up the "Hardscrabble' matter at
once so that the uncertainty of the
property owners may be terminated
as soon as possible. Members of City
Council also feel that inasmuch as
there is no relief for householders I'm
this section at the present time. the
whole matter should be determined
once for all
