 Shannon rammed a hot grounder over second and Perkins crossed the plate The Senators tied the score in the ninth and again in
 the twelfth.

The Giants did all the hitting in the first half of the game, while the COombs- men did theirs in the latter half. Rube started for the Giants, but he wasn't right and had to be yanked.

SURVEYOR COMING TO
 ALASKA THIS MONTH

The steamship Surveyor is en route to Alaska for geodetic survey work.
 The Surveyor was built on the Great Lakes and completed in the summer of 1917 when she was sent to the At- lantic via the St. Lawrence river On her arrival on the East coast, the yes. sel was turned over to the navy and equipped with guns and depth charges for use as naval auxiliary cruiser From February, 1918, until the amis- tice was signed, it was employed in convoy duty to and from Mediterran- can ports.
 While on one of these voyages, the convoy was attacked by two German submarines, one of which was the famous U-39 which sank the Lusitania. The U-39 fired torpedo at the fleet which grazed the bow of the Surveyor and was visible from the deck of the vessel. The wake of the submarine was picked up by the Surveyor, which was able to get into position for favorable discharge of the depth charge. The Surveyor was unable to finish the submarine, but did succeed in disabling her to the extent that the diver was compelled to enter Carta- gena, Spain, and interned there.
 The Surveyor is a steel vessel of 1000 tons displacement, with 1921 in- dicated horsepower and is able to maintain speed of 12 knots. Her complement is eleven officer and fifty six men. The vessel will call in San Francicco for fuel and after taking aboard survey equipment in Seattle will proceed to the Alaska Peninsula to make Photographic and topographic surveys along the steamship track be- tween Kodiak, the Aleutian islands and Boring sea.
 The Surveyor is commanded by Captain Francis H. Hardy, resident of Seattle and veteran of the United States coast and geodetic survey serv- ice in Alaskan waters.

MINERS CALL It
A SQUARE DEAL
Declare Full Confidence in Pres
ident and Profound Regard
for His Judgment

Indianapolis. Dec 10-The bituminous
coal miners statement accepting the
terms If President Wilson's proposal as
a basi for settling their strike follows
The United Mine Workers representa-
tives agreed to accept the President 3
proposal as a basis of settlement of the
coal strike. They did so because II pro
vides a definite concrete and practical
method by which adequate nsideratiou
and a proper adjustment of their claim
for an Increase in wages and improved
conditions of employment may be brought
about. The United Mine Workers have
full confidence in the President of the
United States and a profound regard for
his will and judgment
The Presidents proposal differs from
any proposal heretofore proposed in that
it leaves nothing in doubt so far as q plan
of adjustment and the details thereof is
concerned. The scheme proposed by Dr.
Garfield left no hope for the mine work
ers other than the acceptance of an in
crease in mining prices of IA per cent.
The Presidents proposal provides that
this amount of advance is preliminary
and that the tribunal which he will set
up wis have full authority to consider
further question of wages and working
conditions as well as profits of operators
and proper price, for coal. readjusting
both wages and profits II it shall so de-
eide. 1t further provides that the COM
mission will have authority to settle in
ternational questions peculiar to each dis
trict all of which are of very great i'm
portance to the mine workers.
THE commission will make it's re-
port within GO days unless some in
surmountable difficulties arise which
prevent it from doing so and the COM
mission will have authority to fix the
date when any award It makes will
become effective.
The Presidents plan further pro-
vides that upon a general resumption
OF operations the status quo will be
maintained, that is that all mine work
ers will return to work with an in
crease in wages amounting to IA per
cent upon the same basis which OBJ
tanned on October 81. 1919. Neither
operators nor miners will be allowed
to change the basis and no discrimina-
ton by the coal operators will be per-
mitted.
1T was these specific features of the
Presidents proposal which made 1t ac-
ceptable to the international officers Of
the United Mine Workers when submit
&c" " 'hein through Attorney-General
Palmer and Secretary Tumulty in Wash
ington on Saturday, December 6.
I'VE are accepting the President at his
word, feeling confident that he will ap-
point tribunal composed of fair-minded
men who will give full and complete rec
ognition to the justice Of the mine work
ers' claims Besides. 1t is fair to assume
that the public will not only insist that
full justice be accorded the mine work
ers, but also will accept the finding of
the tribunal appointed by the President
OF the United States as a <air and equita-
BILE determination of all the issues in
volved."

cessfully. George III, Hersey first de-
olared that he would offer the 5000, which
coupled with what the company is willing
to give, would meet the $3.50 compromise
proposition which the city council at lis
meeting Monday night decided was the
maximum concession ii could make in
settlement of the assessment against the
railway company for street repair work.
When Harold Cohen heard of Mr..
Herseys offer he stated that he would
be willing to divide the burden which Mr..
Hersey was willing to assume. AS a re-
suit Mr.. Hersey called on Mayor II. NJ.
brennan and acquainted him with the
facts. The mayor Immediately called a
special meeting.
Several of the business men were
present at the meeting and offered to
, contribute to the 5000. Supt A. W. Peter
son, superintendent of the Traction COM
pany, accepted the proposition and in all
probability the regular schedule will be
resumed tomorrow. Mr. Hersey is man
ager of the st. Albans Plumbing & Heat
ing company and Mr.. Cohen is proprietor
