This the final move in the settle
ment OF the meaning of phrases which
Doctor Garfield incorporated in his
document. The points at issue were,
for the operators, the paragra ph
which read, This agreement is sub

OH the condition that the selling price
of coal shall be advanced by the
United States government sufficient 10
cover the increased cost in the district
affected, and will take effect on the
first day OF the period following the
order advancing such increased

For the miners the stumbling block
was the phrase. 'stoppage of work"
Failing to agree at conferences held
here or thru kilograms to Doctor Gar
field, the two organizations appoint
ed committees to go to Washington in
answer to the request of DR.. Garfield.
There the matter was threshed out.

the most hearty cooperation Of ali
involved.
Mine run soal, which Is the lump,

from the mine, is the most available

NINETEEN DEAD IN
 PATERSON. N d.. FIRE

PATERSON, N. J., Nov. 4.-Nineteen bodies had been taken tonight from the ruins of the Salvation Army rescue mission which was destroyed by fire early today. Ten men were taken to hospitals with probably mortal injuries and many others were less seriously hurt in leaping from windows.
 Identification of. all the dead will be impossible. the police believe, as the records of the institution were lost in the fire. There were S5 men asleep in the mission when the fire started.
 Rapid spread of the flames made the use of the enly fire escape impos- sible and the lodgers. many of whom were old and crippled were driven to windows from which they leaped be- fore firemen could catch them in nets.
 Several of the elderly victims are believed to have been suffocated in their sleep and others who tried U reach the street by the front entrance so impeded one another in their flight that they chOked the passageway where bodies Were found huddled in a heap.
 Most of the victims were frendless men who earned their lodgings at the mission by helping in the collection Of satab.e waste paper. magazines anc kindling wood.

LIBERTY THEATERS
 FOR CANTONMENTS

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4.-Sixteen "Liberty theaters" now being built by the government in the various national army cantonments are to be self sus- taining, and with one exception will be part of a regularly organized dramatic and vaudeville circuit. Camp Lewis, on- the Pacific coast, cannot be included in the circuit for geographical reasons, so special performances by Pacific coast companies will be given there.
 1t was announced tonight that four vaudeville and four dramatic compa- nies are being organized by we'll known theatrical men of the circuit. Each theater will have it's own complete equipment, so that the companies will not have to carry a heavy baggage train. Every cantonment is being searched for men of theatrical experi- enee to aid in setting up the circuit and numerous stage hands, electricians, ac- tors and musicians have been found anong the soldiers.
 So-calIed "smileaee" books, contain ing one dollars and five dollars worth of admission coupons, soon will be of fered the public through the stage women's war relief. These books can be sent to the men in camp to pay their 15. 20 and 25 cents admission charges.

70 m -es up to Monfalcone, whence they looked out upon Trieste as the great prize of the upper .Adriatic, only few miles away.
 These facts give significance to the pro intense activity in this guar ter of the upper Adrlatic, as 1t has been suggested that the naval front may yet become the turning point iii the present titanic struggle. It is the view of the naval authorities that the entente would do well to consider quickly and thoroughly the naval possibilities of the Adriatic as it is maintained, that it offers one of the surest fields for the entente to deal a decisive blow.
 The basis for this is that Austria cannot possibly receive naval rem forcements from Germany, as all the sea routes are controlled by the en- tente, whereas these routes are open to permit the entente to assemble (. fleet which would make the reduction of the Austrian fleet a certainty.
 Once the Austrian fleet is destroyed it is pointed out, Austrian mastery Of the Adriatic disappears, as the whole range of the coast, including Trieste would be under control oi the Italian and other entente fleets.

the turning out of ships urgently re- quired."
 All members of the board departed for the east today
 Representatives of the craftsmen met in conference today discussing the sit uation. The decision of the board was reported unfavorable 90 them.
 Mcguire, adding to his declaration that an appeal to the president would be made, said: 'I do not believe the men will leave their jobs. l believe organized labor will be found patriotic enough to hold it's ranks to the work until the president has ample time to review the appeal and decide upon it.
 "The representatives of labor here will return to their respective homes and the unions will vote upon the new scale. The scale means an increase for the majority of workers over their old scale, but in Seattle there are 6,000 men who receive less under this scale than they are getting now. To others the increase is very slight.
 The board found living costs had increased 36 per cent. The men want enough to meet thiS.'
 Members of the two employers asso- citations refused to comment upon the decision. Norstatement would be given out, they said, until after meetings to- morrow.
 The scale rates are retroactive, go- ing back in the Puget Sound district to August ]. They must be put into effect on or before Monday, November F, the board ordered, and back pay must be paid within two weeks from that time. Rates of wages now being paid in excess of the minimum rates fixed are to be in nowise altered.
 An eight hour day was fixed for the San Francisco and Portland districts. Working conditions in the Puget Sound district are to be determined by agreements between employers and employees.
