JOINT ANTHRACITE
WAGE BODY MEETS
Little Hope Of Decision Until
Bituminous Mine Decision
Is Reached
DATA ON H. C. l. COLLECTED
Ry the Associated Press

New York. March 11.-The subcom-
mttcc of operators and miners ap'
pointed TO negotiate n new wage agree
ment for the anthracite coal miners held
its first conference here today.
Neither miners nor operators expect
decision for several weeks. as no
definite agreement will be reached until
the bituminous coal commission hands
down its award in the case OF the soft
coal miners. Report from the com
mission. which is sitting in Washing
ton, have failed to disclose what prog
ress is being made.
Mine workers hope for an carly de-
cision from the soft coal commission
so as to avoid the possibility of a slis e
pension of mining in both hard and soft
coal fields Asked when he expected the
bitumipous commission to make its
award. John l.. Lewis. international
president of the United Mines Workers,
said:
''It is impossible for me to forecast
the datc of possible decision. | am
concerned that the commission has not
made a report up to the time. 1t will
be recalled that existing wage agree
mcuts do not run beyond March 81.
am hopeful that decision will bcTcn
dered ut an early date, so as to insure
continuance of coal production after
April l. -
The high cost of living will figure
largely in the arguments of the mine
workers for n 60 per cent wage increase.
Volumes of statistics have been gathered
70 show that the wages of mine workers
have not kept pace with the cost of Ity-
ing. These will hc presented early in
the Subcommittee conferences.
Mine union officials indicated today
that the "closcd shop will be insisted
unon in the new agreement. They
contend that the union has served its
apprenticeship" in the anthra"it" field,
where they estimate that their member
shin includes g. per cent of all mine
workers in the Pennsylvania hard coal
region.
tors have refused to comment or express,
their attitude toward the demands, ex'
cept to indicate that it would be i'm
possible to meet them without increasing
the price of coal.

New Street Chief, Colonel Nor
den, BIames Downtown Filth
on Residents
MAKES FIRST INSPECTION

Colonel L. II. Mordeu. new chief of
the Bureau Of Street Cleaning. may call
on city Council for emergency action to
force downtown residents to clean gar
bagc and other filth from their streets
and alleys.
Colonel Morden. after n thorough in
spcction Of the downtown wards, said
conditions we're so bad that an cpl
demic might result il immediate drastic
steps are not taken.
Garbage and other refuse. frozen to
a depth Of two feet and then released
by thaw, were found in back alleys and
courts, where residents and not re-
moval contractors are responsible.
Following the inspection Chief Nor
den said he could not place much blame
on the contractors for the general
condition of the streets. Worst Of
tenders. his report states. are the mar
kets and warehouses in the neighborhood
of Third and Dock streets.
Would Cost Million
1T would cost million dollars to
try and pick out the ice and snow he
said. $50 we will flush and clean OIL
the ton of the mass as fast as it melts.
That is, in the streets where the con-
tractors are bound TO clean.
Speaking of the worst conditions,
where violations of city ordinances are
the rule. Chief Mordcn said
"Corloads of oyster shells arc dumped
in the streets. Refuse of every kind is
thrown in the highways. Leaking and
broken down containers are everywhere.
Ashes are put out days ahead of collec-
ton days. Broken down wagons are
frozen in the ice, making it impossible
for contractors TO clean. Debris from
building operations is piled in the street
in violation of the law.
Puts Blame On Public
I'm the section south of South street
and east of Broad street. the public is
to large extent violating the ordi-
nances in regard to the use of proper
containers for depositing ashes and
rubbish. An energetic campaign of ed
ucation is needed in this section.
''On Water street, south of Spruce
street, a pile Of oyster shells. possibly
four or five carloads, was in the street.
having been there practically all win
ter. This is undoubtedly contrary to
ordinance. and the street cleaning con .
tractor Is not required TO collect these.
I'm front of u certain building opera .
tion on Seventh street piles of rubbish
and debris occupy about one half of the
street. This was not building material
for which a permit can be taken out
at times, but rubbish.
Had to Get Police

get this cleaned up.
THE contractor whose business il

Take the proper amount OF humor.

result.
Jack Pickford Is featured, and his

the picture from the Midnight Frolic

A new dance feature is introduced
by Miss Day. The piece de resistance
OF the picture. which will come to
the Star theatre tonight Is Lenore's
boudoir. For exotic atmosphere this
little masterpiece OF interior decorat-
ing has no equal. Every article In
me suite, from the most conspicuous
TO the most obscure. was especially
designed. and carries out the spider
web motive OF the apartment. The
head board OF IGNORES bed Is great
web carved from teak wood, and the
foot posts are two nude feminine
figures modelled after the old Egyp-
tian reliefs. A gold lined alcove.
woven with silver threads, is the
sanctum where Lenore prepares the
mysterious toilettes that lure the un-
fortunate fly within her net.
The quality that marks a moving
picture for success or failure; the
story quality. was the first considSsa-
tion for this picture. "The Man Who
Had Everything" is a good story and
that is saying everything.
