made public It an adjourned confer
ence here next Thursday.
One Of the chief details left to be
worked out Is the understanding that
in each OF the great coal-producins
sections OF the nation represented on
the Joint committee. a Representative
of the union mine workers and q rep
r~esentative of the owning interests
shall have equal authority and check
IN upon the other.
II believe that the best blow for
fundamental democracy at home
which the president is supporting for
the world and for the home nation
was struck at this conference today"
declared President White.
This action means that no union
labor standards already achieved shall
be broken Town either by private or
public interference. 1t can that the
United Min Workers shall rave a free
and unafrafd hand for organizing the
miners in all sections and es-
pecially in those sections which in the
past have suffered most from the
cruelties and illegalities of the enemies
of organized labor.
The United Mine Workers show by
the fine ideal of American patriotism
that II means freedom and they be-
lieve that a free country is invincible,
either in working or in fighting"

Commanded by Captain NJ. s. Hew-
lit. Troop c. OF the First squadron of
Virginia cavalry, left Richmond last
night for guard duty on the Virgin
ian railway. Since their return from
the Mexican border the troop has
been in Richmond. and recently have
been engaged in guard duty at the
Tredegar Iron works. Their places
at this point have now been taken by
the Maryland troops.
All of the Richmond Grays. with
the exception of a detail guarding the
state buildings. were yesterday re-

troops. The Grays will now return
to their civilian status, and await the
call OF the federal government. which
will bring them into service again

Major Bright was yesterday mott

that they would employ all members
of the Grays who wanted work. and
would keep them occupied until they
were called into federal service. This
was gratifying to the officers OF the

Striking a zig-zag course to avoid
torpedoes the Moreni proceeded to give
battle to the undersea terror. But the
submarine made no effort to torpedo
the tanker. Instead Il began firms
with both guns. From fore and af,
the guns Of the Moreri spat challenge
In the wv hours of the battle. 35s
shots were exchanged.
The last shot from the submarine
struck fan oil tank and the Moranl
blazed sup. The U-boat quit firing: there
was no further need. The Morents

useless. imperilled by the blazing oil
took to their boats.
Operator Dies Of Heart Failure
One of the fol victims was already
dead. He was wireless operator .. e
Curran. of New York. The excitement
of the battle was too much for him
and he fell victim of heart disease.
Edward Cunningham. an oiler. fell
to his death in the seas while trying
to get into a lifeboat. e. Muestner. a
seaman, was wounded by particles from
a German she'll. He died later. Fire
man A. Geeisen also was wounded
Moved by the gameness of his adver-
saries he submarine captain opened
his hospital facilities to them. but i,
was too late to save Geeisen. He died
on board the submarine.
As the crew left the Moreni all the
sea about them was afame with burn
ing oil Through this inferno tine mer
rowed frantically seeking deep water
Many were burned and scalded. Fiery
tongues shot up around their fraiI
1ifeboats. Cunningham. the oiler who
fell into the water. was burning when
he drowned.
The state department message does
not record the words which passed he.
tween the commander OF the submar-
inc and the captain Of the Moreni. But
the action of the U-boat's skipper IN
offering help to the wounded is story
enough OF what he had to say to his
hghting enemy.
The submarine could not take the
survivors on board oven as prisoners
But h sea vas calm and a little lates

vivors. Six of the crew who were
