MINERS GAIN MEANS
COAL PRICE RAISE
Operators Declare Increased Paw
and Shorter Hours Will Cost
$4,000, 900.

NEW YORK, May 4.-With union
officials hailing the agreement en-
tered into between the anthracite
miners and operators as one of the
greatest victories the workers have
ever won, the operators predicted
this afternoon that the increase in
wages granted the men will be fol-
lowed by an advance in price in the
domestic sizes of hard coal. The
steam sizes can not be advanced, H.
w. Fahy, the operators spokesman,
said, because of competition with
bituminous.
The official text of the agreement
was made public today. Its ratitica-
ton by the convention of union dele
gates at Pottsville is said to be GER
tain.
The chief victory for the miners is
in the concession of shorter hours and
increased pay, which aggregates
nearly $12,00O,000 annually.
The demand for recognition of the
union is not mentioned in the final
draft of the agreement.

SENATE REPORTSON
CONVICT LABOR BILL
Committee On Education and
Labor Favorable to Its
Passage.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The SEN
ate committee on education and labor
has made a favorable report Of the
Hughes convict labor bill, which has
been amended, however, to not apply
to old convicts, and not to take effect
until three years after adoption by
congress. These amendments will in
dictate the opposition of convict labor
contractors to this legislation, which
is urged by the American Federation
of Labor.
A bill similar to the Hughes bill
has been introduced in the house by
Congressman Booher and is now on
the house calendar: At present when
a state passes legislation regulating
the admission of convict labor pro-
ducts from other states, it is con-
strued as IAN interference with inter-
state commerce." The Booher-
Hughes legislation is really an en-
abling act which will remove the in
terstate commerce barrier where any
state desires to check the importa-
ton of. convict-made goods.

FIND WHY ENGLISH.
LABOR sLAcKENs UP
Committee Makes Investigation
and Attributes It to Long
Hours and Speed.

LONDON, England. May Awhile
British newspapers have roundly con-
demned "slackers" in industry. a
committee appointed by the govern
ment shows that it is both human
and logical for men working long
hours under a speeding up system
to shirk and slack. This committee
was appointed to consider the health
of war munitions workers, and it re-
ports that efficiency is impossible
where working conditions destroy the
vigor and enthusiasm of employees.

with excessive overtime, it is to be

: The Manchester Cotton Factory
Times makes this comment on the
committees findings:
1T all amounts to this, that the
capacity of the body for labor is
limited, and it is useless to make
drafts upon energy that is not there.
A study of this memorandum might
drive it into the cranimums of those
who toll not, neither do they spin,
that it is not sheer caprice or cussed-
ness that has inspired those who do
toll with either hand or brain, or
both, to press in the past for shorter
hours of labor and extended holiday

increasing strain imposed by modern

TORIES WAGE BITTER
FIGHT ON BRANDE|s
Money Used to Flood. United
States With Literature
Against Him.
(By Gilsen Gardner.)

From some mysterious source un-
limited money is being used to flood
the country with anti-Brandeis lit
erature. Editors, commercial organi-
cations, bar associations and even COL
leges have been flooded with copies of
the so-called brief, the same being
Brandeis made by volunteer commit
tee of old-time enemies incurred by
Brandeis in fighting many battles for
the public welfare. There were no
briefs nor findings based on briefs.
The printed matter is made to ap-
pear legal and formal and many peo-
pie might suppose that it represented
something official. The truth is that
the official finding thus far is in
Brandeis' favor. A majority Of the
committee which MADE the investiga-
ton recommended his confirmation.
The Brandeis opposition has been
playing for delay. The case was: re-
ported weeks ago to the senate COM
mittee on judiciary, but members Of
this committee have held many meet
ings and have failed to report. Ac-
cording to last accounts the commit
tee was lining up in partisan way.
President Wilson has brought in
fluence to bear on such well-known
reactionaries on the committee as
Overman, O'Gorman and Hoke Smith,
all of whom have been brought into
line for the Brandeis confirmation On
the other hand, the Republicans are
almost solidly against him. Works
and Cummins went on record as
members OF the subcommittee.
Big Business Active.
Clark, Wyoming, has been an act
i've leader of the Big Business element
in the senate making the fight against
Brandeis. Knute Nelson, remembering
the old Ballinger feud, has lined up
with Clark and Cummins; Dillingham;,
Vermont; Sutherland, Utah; Brandeis,
Connecticut, are counted in tie reac-
tionary opposition. Senator Borah,
Idaho, has been the only uncertain
factor on the Republican side. Borah
has been looking into the evidence
taken at the hearings and says he has
not yet made up his mind.
On the Democratic side, John X.
Shields, Tennessee, has been an un-
known quantity. Shields is the author
of the hydro-electric water power
grab measure which went through the
senate short time ago and his con-
,nections aid political bias are all op-
posed to the things for which Mr..
Brandeis stands. The sinister influ-
ences which have worked. through
men like Brandegee and Clark on the
Republican side have felt confident
they could use Shields in the Brandeis
matter as he served them in the water
power grab.
Wilson C0nyinces Senator'S.
President Wilson convinced a num-
Der of reactiona1E senators that it
would be very poor party politics to
permit Brandeis to be rejected. His
arguments have brought into line such
notorious reactionaries even as Bank
head, Underwood, Hardwick and
Clark, Arkansas. On the other hand,
Progressives on the Republican side OF
the senate are helping the fight for
confirmation, notable among them be-
ing LaFollette, Norris, Poindexter,
Clapp and Gronna.

UNIONS KEEP TAB ON
CHILD LABOR BILL

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Although
the senate committe has made fav-
orable report on the Heating Owen
child labor bill, which has been
passed by the house, the foes of this
legislation will take advantage of
every parliamentary situation to block
final consideration.
If this bill becomes a law the pro-
ducts of child labor will be barred
from interstate commerce, and trade
unionists and other opponents OF
child labor are urged to write their
senator's and insist on an. early vote
on the Keating-Owen bill.
