r as this newspaper knows William Jennings Bryan

to land the presiden,-eect Office about three months

Anthracite Miners
Negotiating For a
Wage Increase

New York, March 9.-Anthracite
miners and operators of Pennsylvania
met here today and opened negotia-
tlons for a new wage agreement to be-
come effective March 81, when the
present four year contract expires. It
was said by miners and operators that
little will lie done at the present meet
ings aside from the formal presenta-
tion of the miners demands and a DOS
sible general discussion of conditions
in the anthracite field. Neither side,
1t was said, by union officials, cares to
proceed to definite conclusions until
the award to be made by the bitumin-
Gus coal commission has been handed
down in the case of the soft coal min
ers of the country.
Call For 90 Per Ct. Increase.
The wage demands call for a sixty
percent increase in wages for contract
miners, an advance of 50 day for men
paid by the day, a six hour day and a
five day week for all classes of inside
and outside day labor and monthly
men coming under the proposed agree
ment.
The miners are also asking a two
year agreement, closed shop. uni
form wage scale for like occupations
at the several collieries. that coal pro-
duced shall be paid for on the legal
ton basis wherever practicable and
that the employers compensate the
workers for the loss of tools as Il re-
suit OF accidents. The demands also
include the granting of other conces-
sions of technical charactr.
The miners and operators went into
conference with the best of feeling

LEAVES
THE WAY OPEN FOR
PACT COMPROMISE


Washington, March S.-President
Wilson's letter to Senator Hitchcock
regarding the peace treaty is under
TODD to reiterate the presidents OBJ
ections to the Republican reserva-
ions, but not in such language as
dissaude Democratic senators
rom continuing their compromise ef-
forts.
Although interpreted by some SEN
tors as a reiteration of the presi-
cents positive stand against the prin-
iples Of the Republican reserva-
ions, others accepted it as tacit
Endorsement of the compromise
negotiations continued their activity
after the letter had been shown them
and some in close touch with the sit
uation predicted that an agreen'ent
or ratification of the treaty might
De reached.
The presidents position o. the
lodge reservation to article ten and
{ :iier reservations was outlined in
he letter to the administration
eadcr.
He will not see Senator Simmons,
Democrat, North Carolina, as re-
quested by Senator Hitchcock, but
wrote Senator Simmons telling him
the matter is sufficiently covered in
lis reply to Senator Hitchcock.
The presidents letter to Senator
Hitchcock was put in final form thi;
morning. In it the president was said
to have made his position equally a.
clear as he did in his conference
with Senator Glass, of Virginia, two
weeks ago.
Administration officials said the
president would not accept the Lodge
reservation to Article X. They dis
closed that he had discussed the So
called Taft reservation to Article Y
with Senator Glass and that while he
had not stated his approval of it, hc
did not say he would not accept it.
A modified reservation affirming
national control over armaments
was adopted by the senate, 40 to 26.
Nine Democrats, Chamberlain, Ore
gon; Gore, Oklahoma; King, Utah;
Kirby, Arkansas; Nugent, Idaho;
Phelan, California; Reed, Missouri;
Shields, Tennessee, and Smith, Geor-
gia, voted for it.
The reservation as amended or
motions of Senators New, Republi-
can, Indiana, and Mccormick, Hi
nois, follows:
mo plan for the limitation of
armaments proposed by the council
of the League of Nations under the
provisions of Article shall be held
as binding the United States until
the same shall have been accepted by
congress, and the United States re-
serves the right to increase it's arma-
ments without the consent of the
council when ever the United States
is threatened with invasion, or en-
gagged in war"
On motion of Senator Lodge, the
Republican leader, the senate agreed
to limit debate on all remaining re-
servations to the peace treaty except
those relating to Article 10 and to
voting power in the League of Ma
tions.
