COAL MINERS ARE
ANXIOUS TO QUIT
The Scale Committee Will De-
eide Tomorrow.
OWNERS CAN PREVENT IT
An Agreement to Make Any New
Wage Increase Retroactive Will
Keep the Men at Work.

New York, March 222.-The anthra
cite mine operators were notified that
the general scale committee, represent
ing the mine workers of the hard coal
region, will decide tomorrow whether
there shall be suspension of work
on April /, pending the outcome of the
negotiations for Il new wage agree
ment.
The request of the operators that
the 10000 miners in the anthracite
field remain at work after March 81,
when the present agreement expires,
was discussed at a three-hOur session
of the scale committee. The commit
teemen were almost unanimous in the
opinion that work should be suspend
ed on April l unless the operators
agreed to make any wage award retro
active.
Officials of the miners union ad-
dressed the committeeman, asking
them not to be too haSty' In taking
action on Ibis important question.
They explained thaC it would be ad-
visable to wait until tomorrow, as there
is a possibility of something definite
being done by thai time toward an
award to the biluminuuS Worke.s.
The operators at the meeting of the
subcommittee of miners and operators
appointed TO negotiate new wage
agreement, accepted the decision of
the scale committee without comment.
The mine owners, 1t is understood, are
strenuously opposed % entering into
an agreement with the coal diPgerS to
make any wage award retroactive to
March 81, should the men remain at
work. Then contend thai any wage
advance given the miners VIII have
to be made up by increasing the price
of coal, and il would he their loss to
make an award retroactive, because
they could not make coal prices retro
active.
In 1906 the miners remained at work
while negotiations We're underway, the
mine owners having agreed to make
the award retroactive. The operators,
however insist that such an agree
ment had cost them losses and can
not be repeated
Hope of speeding up the nego+ia-
tionS and reachim@ an agreement by
April has been practically abandoned
by The subcommittee. it was learned.
The progress has been slow up TO The
present time and The arguments
lengthy. The operators have not pre-
scented any counter proposals.

PLAN TO PROMOTE
INDUSTRIAL PEACE
Management and Employees Arc
Urged to Organize.

Washington, March 22-Joint organ
lZauOn of management and employees
las means of preventing misunder-
standing and of securing cooperative
effort" throughout American industry
Is proposed by the industrial confer
ence appointed by President Wilson in
report 20 the president.
The cOnferees i'll their report state
that they have modified the tentative
plan of machinery TO adjust disputes
i'll general industry by conference, con-
Citation, inquiry and arbitration, an
nOunced by the conference on Derem-
Der 20, 1919, and that they have en-
deavOred to develop methods of pre-
ventiOn rather than adjustment of Ia
Dor difficulties The modified plan,
devised since the conference recon-
vened last January -, it is said,
makes machinery available for "col-
lective bargaining with only tnciden-
tai and limited arbitration" The plan
has been extended to cover disputes
affecting public utilities other than
steam railroads and also to govern,
ment and other public employees
The causes of industrial unrest are
set forth as including the rise in the
cost of living, unrestrained specula-
ton, spectacular instances of excessive
profits, excessive accumulation and
misuse of wealth, inequality and read
iustment of wage schedules, release of
ideas and emotions by the war, social
revolutionary theories imported from
Europe, the belief that free speech is
restricted, the intermittency of en-
ployment, unnecessarily high infant
mortality in industrial centerS, loss of
personal contact in large industrial
units and the culmina ton of a growing
belief on the part of both employers
and employees that reimbursement is
necessary to Il wholesome continuity
of their united effort"

M THE THEA TRES

In these words May Allison, the lovely Metro star, whose newest screen production, "The Cheater," is the current attraction at the Empire theatre, sums up her views on love and what it means to woman.
 In view of the present interest in feminism, and the alternative of love or a career for gifted members of the fair sex, Miss Allison was asked, during interview at the Metro studios in Hollywood, what was her position in the matter. She diplo- maticaily took the middle ground. Her philosophy seems to be career first and then marriage. She would give the best in her to both-but one at time.

''Nightie Night" one of the most suc- cessful farces produced in New York in years, and which comes here direct from a six months run at the Princess theatre. New York. This brilliant comedy is the work of Mar tha M. Stanley and Adelaide Mat thews, who have evolved a story con taining so many hilarious complica- tions and rapid action, that it cannot be described adequately in brief ar 'ticle. The principal characters are two young and devoted married cou- ,ples. One couple has jealous wife, the other couple includes a jealous husband. The wife of the latter had before their marriage an innocent af- fair with the husband of the jealous wife, who discovers this former rival in her apartment dressed in gar ment which however alluripg is only a ''nightie." This of course com promises friend innocent husband and his troubles are not 1essened when the jealous husband appears trying to find his missing wife, who for two acts hides from one or other of the cast in all sorts of unconven- tional places However, the audience know everybody is innocent of wrong and only the unfortunate victims of circumstantia1 evid The straight ening out of these complica tions form an entertainment of riotous laughter.
