MEET FOR CONVENTION
Wage Dispute Before Delegates
From West Virginia and
Maryland.

CUMBERLAND, Md. June 15.-The
annual convention of United Mine
representing 10000 miners in the
Georges creek and upper Potomac re-
nions, opens here today.
The main question before the dele
gates from Maryland and West Vir-
Hinia. according to Secretary Trickett
the wage agreement dispute.
The most disturbing factor" said
Mr. Trickett. has been that a major
ity Of the coal operators have not
complied with the awards of Presi-
dent Wilson's bituminous coal COM
mission. Another source Of trouble
has been the lack Of a working agree
ment between miners and operators
in this district"
There is some talk Of an attempt to
have the convention go on record as
favoring an increase beyond the q
per cent allowed by the Presidents
commission, on the ground that oper-
ators are now selling coal at So ton,
as against $2.75 last November.

Georgian Treaty as One
of Reasons,

about to evacuate the Black sea port
at Batum, according to the Daily
Mail, which says the 1000 soldiers
there are to be removed to Constan-

The Brooklyn Orchestral Society is
composed of nearly 100 members, most
of whom are professional and business
men with sprinkling of former pro-
fessional musicians. Their appearances
so far have been Of more or less pri-
vate character, but it is their belief
that the time has come for Brooklyn to
get behind symphonic organization of
its own, and fer this reason the public
event has been arranged.

mpte, they did not wish to take. Their
announcement Of the projected list of
operas Tor the season 1917-1918, they
added, would not give offense to pa
triotic. Americans 1t is a. fair pre-
sumption that they also wished that
their action should not hurt the feel
ings of citizens disposed to differentiate
between music and morals, or propa-
gandism and patriotism, many Of
whom loved fhe ideals embodied in the
form Of lMfc-dramatic art which had
been cultivated at the Metropolitan
Opera House for an entire generation.
~ is nothing more than an assump
tiulf on my part (but justifable one,
Mink), that it was the belief and
hope of the directors that the rancors
and lhatreds created by the war would
be Missipated with the attainment of
victbry and peace and a return be made
to thes principles Of the old regime, in
Guiding a restoration of German opera
to the repertory on the same footing
as Italian, French and English. Mean
while, to protect the products of Ger

The Wagnerian list was regretfully
abandoned, largely, j believe, because
mistaken popular impression existed
that Wagner was an eminent persona

but the political ideals which he repre-
sentcd were not those of the Germany
whose foundations were laid by Freder-
ick II of Prussia, surnamed THE
Great" Against them he was revo-

living and after his death he left no
