COAL MINERS VOTE OVERWHELM|NGLYTO AGREEMENT After Two Days of Bitter Debate Patriotic Faction
 in Convention Wins WHITE ARRAIGNS MAN WHO LED OPPOSITION Acceptance of the Penalty Clause Averts Chaos
 Which Defeat Might
 Have Brought

Indianapolis, January 19. After two days of stirring de bate, the United Mine Workers of America, in biennial con- vention, late today by over whelming vote ratified the Washington agreement of Oc- tober 6, which grants substan- tial wage advances to bitu- minous coal miners and pro- vides penalties for violation of contracts. sair
 The agreement became effective Mo- vember 1. last and remains in force until April 1, 1920, unless the war ends tomatically terminates.
 The ratification of the agreement was of great importance to the coun- try in the present war crisis for the reason that had 1t failed of approval 1t might have resulted in chaos in the mining industry at a time when every nerve is being strained to relieve the fuel famine.
 The fight against its approval was based on the automatic penalty clause inserted by the joint conference of op- orators and miners at Washington and approved by Fuel Administrator Gar field. It fines men who violate con- tracts by going out on unauthorized strikes and provides for their auto matic collection by the operators Mine owners failing to enforce the clause are also penalized under its terms.
 Standing in the pit of the hall. which was foggy with smoke from pipes and cigars of the miners. who packed the place. John P. White. former president of the organization, and now assistant to pr. Garfield. spoke for an hour in defense of the action of the interna- tional officers in accepting the clause. He charged that the attack on the clause was in reality an assault on him and furtherance of organization politics The clause, he said, took away none of the rights of the miners but on the other hand, was essential to the success and perpetuity of the union. He severely arraigned Alex Howat, president of the Kansas miners who led the opposition.

The long-awaited converting of the constituent assembly has apparently precipitated a fresh crisis in Russian affairs with renewed disorders as the consequence for the struggle for control in the capital indi- cated as possibility.
 The bolsheviki evidently are not taking kindly to the new legislative body, in which the very first vote of the opening session on Friday re- vealed a decided anti-bolshevik ma jority, which easily elected it's can- didate for chairman--244 to 151- and this without the help of the constitutional democrats, who were not present. The bolshevik and their supporters, the extreme social revolutionists, thereupon withdrew from the assembly.
 This break with the majority social rev. olutionists, who showed their control by elccting as chairman one of their lead- CTS, M. Tchernoff. the minister of agri- culture, In Kerensky's government, is interpreted abroad as probable prelude to an attempt on the part of the bol- sheviki government to assert itself in supreme control, regardless of what course the present assembly may desire to take.

 IDETERIORATING BONDS FACED SERIOUS PANIC
This Is Main Reason Why the Trans portation Heads Welcomed Fed eral Control-Legislation Is
 Certain to Pass
By HUGH w, ROBERTS

Washington, January 10.-(special.) The action of the government in ac- quirinG control of the railroads will not only relieve congestion in east ern centers. but has already prevented Il financial panic incident to the de- teriOrating in the value of railroad se- curitics.
 This latter fact has become gem erally recognized. Contained in that fact is the reason why the biggest railroads of the country entered no material opposition to the plans of the government. It offers. also. the explanation for the immediate display of strength in railroad stocks listed on markets
 Financial experts in Congress while regarding the s5o0.oo0,oo0 appropria- tion asked for the maintenance of railroads by the government as in the main necessary, consider a bill con- taining such provisions as, in certain essential respects, railroad bill.

 Reports from the eastern half of the country showed that freight congestion was clearing and that increasing sup plies of coal were on their way to suf- fering districts.
 Comfort of the citys homes and work CTS in essential industries was assured with the arrival in the ctiy of 5000 tons of fuel, backed by an increasing amount at tidewater terminals and on the way from the mines. With about 10000 indus trial establishments closed. the supply was considered ample.
 Reeve Schley, New York county fuel administrator received 15 complaints dur ing the day of nonessential industries which are alleged to have disregarded Federal Fuel Administrator Garfield's oi der. The complaints were turned over to federal authorities. Police Commis- sioner Bugher issued orders to the city's patrolmen to gather all information pos sible of violations of. she order.
 Rapid transit companies were given permission to curtail their Monday serv- ice ''to a point where it will insure the safety of the public.
 In connection with the order issued at Washington permitting theatres to re- main open Mondays. but to close Tues days. State Fuel Administrator Wiggin received a telegram from the federal ad- ministration stating that places of amuse- ment specified in the order are forbidden to use fuel on such Tuesdays for light as well as heat.
 As the original order did not mention light, the ruling is regarded as disposing O., the question as to whether theatres could remain open fl they did not uss fuel for heat.
