[]RAFT
OF a Tentative Rate of Wages
is Being Made by United
Mine Workers.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25-The United
Mine Workers from the central COM
petitive buituminous coal fields, hav-
ing been given an intimation that the
western Pennsylvania operators are
ready to concede the mine run de-
mand on certain conditions, went into
caucus Friday to draft tentative
rate of wages on the run of mine
basis, to be submitted to the mine
owners. The draft will contain GER
tain protective measures to insure
clean coal which will include penal
ty clauses somewhat similar to the
mine run contracts now in force In
Ohio.
It was expected by the operators
that the miners would base the rate
on the ten and twenty per cent in
creases they are asking. Operators
said that II the mine workers lncor-
porated the full advance wanted and
showed no disposition to reduce the
rate, the employers would reject the
mine run system. Most OF the oper-
ators, however. we're also OF the
opinion that an early agreement
would be reached.

night.
The French losses are declared TO be
insignificant in comparison with those
Of the Germans. The German artillery
preparation, which reached Its height
on Tuesday, was of unparalleled vio-
lence. Every inch Of. ground was
searched out; every point where 1t
was thought gun position might exist
was Uttered with shells. but the
French infantry was SO well sheltered
and the French guns so well hidden
that when the German batteries grew
silent and the German infantry adj
yanced to attack, Frenchmen sprang
up from the holes in the ground and
opened deadly fire with machine
guns, while shells from the seventy
five millimeter guns flew overhead and
moved down wave after wave Of the
Germans as they plodded dOggedly
over the snow-covered ground, urged
on from behind, the correspondent
adds, by their officers, revolver in
hand.
