MINERS AND R. R.
MEN MAY MERGE
Questions to Come Up at CO.
lumbus Convention
Next Month

Hazleton. Pa, Aug. 14.-Alliances
of the forces of the United Mine
Workers of America and the four
brotherhoods of the railroad work
ers probably will be perfected at
the International convention of the
miners in Columbus, Ohio, next
month.
This fact was revealed here by
Thomas Kennedy, of this city, dis
trict president of District No. Z, U.
M. w. of A. The preliminary steps
for the uniting of these two forces
of labor in this country have been
completed in recent conferences be-
tween the leaders and the steps will
be reported on at the coming con-
vention. Full ratification of the
movement is confidently expected.
The movement is modelled after
the triple alliance of labor forces
in England and is designed to give
full weight to the labor forces of
the country.
The united action taken by the
brotherhoods in 1916 in. presenting
their demand for an eight-hour day
has been an object lesson to labor
in general and with the transporta-
ton and mining industries combined
the coming submission of demands
by the mine workers will be given
added weight.
1t was also ascertained that the
miners will submit few demands
next spring, but that these will be
Of vast Importance and will be back
ed up by the power of the alliance
that will have been carried to its
consummation by that time.

London, Aug. 1.-THE House of
Commons last evening, after heat
ed debate, adopted an amendent to
the profiteering bill empowering the
Board of Trade after an investiga-
tion, to fix wholesale and retail

The amendment was denounced,
among others, by Lord Robert Cecil,
former minister of war trade, who
expressed amazement that the gov
ernment should accept IAN amend
ment destroying the whole basis of
the bill and revolutionizing the trade

as quickly as possible so as to avoid
shortage in freight cars.
The shortage will especially hit the
Pennsylvania Railroads eastern
lines, according to the statement of
Mr.. Thayor who also says that the
demand for open-top cars is con-
stantly increasing. He points out
that it is essential that every car
be as efficiently used as possible.
Three suggestions have been Of
fered to shippers and receivers of
coal to provide more cars, in order
to assure greater distribution of
coal.
The first is that all open-top cars
loaded with coal or coke or any
other commodity be unloaded upon
delivery; the second, that mechani-
cal devices be installed to facilitate
unloading of coal wherever possible,

Wilson May Veto
Daylight Repeal

Washington, Aug. 14.-President
Wilson, it was said yesterday, will
veto the law proposing repeal of the

Efforts to pass the agricultural

peal law over the Executives head
can be mustered.
