LEWIS T0PRESlDE
AT A. MEETING OF 81. !.
MINERS JANUARY II.

Shamokin Pa, Dec. 23.--John L.
Lewis, international. president of the
United Mine Workers Of America. has
notified the district president. c. j.
Golden, that he will be here to pre-
side at the Tri-District convention
which opens January II to frame de-
mands to be submitted to the anthra-
cite operators prior to the expiration
of the present working agreement
April 1.
District executives intimated today
that the miners would ask for an in
crease Of possibly 20 per cent with a
minimum day rate of not less than
$500 for all classes of workers.
Adjustment of inequality of wage
rates for men engaged in the actual
task of mining coal. an eight hour
work day for stable men, watchmen
and certain classes of engineers who
continue on IL hour schedule and
the "check-off," which would require
the operators to collect union dues,
will be someof the other issues to be
embodied in the demands, it was said.

Favorable Comment
On Dali Adjournment
In British Papers
fBv The Associated Press:

London, Dec 23.-Adjournment OF
the Dali Eireann and the delay in the
vote on the Anglo-Irish treaty is edi-
tortally commented on today by the
Evening Standard ss possibly advan-
tageous to the supporters of the treaty
and at any rate not unwelcome to
the ratificationist. The newspaper
expresses the opinion that the pas
sage of time is likely to weaken the
intellectual case" for the rejection OF
the treaty and particularly undermine
the position of Eamonn de Valera
The Pail Mall Gazette and Globe in
its comment says that since Mr.. de
Valera opposed the adjournment we
may perhaps assume that the vote OF
II 20 "A with which it was carried is
a rough index to ratio of strength be-
tween himself and his opponents"
