HAIL AGREEMENT
AS VICTORY FOR
MINE WORKERS
Ellis SearIes, Editor of Union
Organ, Declares Men
Win Fight.

The Cleveland agreement, hailed as
the end of the coal strike, was char
acterized as a tremendous victory for
the miners by Ellis Searles, editor OF
the United Mine Workers Journal
who returned to the national union
headquarters here today after attend
ing the Cleveland sessions
when the miners went on strike
April they said they would never
brook wage reductions nor a lessen
ing of standard working conditions,
said Mr.. Searles. "and the Cleveland
agreement does not reduce the stand
ard of working conditions nor reduce
wages. The status is the same as
of last March 81"
Miners Return to Work
Miners are returning to work all
over the country as fast as the oper-
ators attach their signatures to the
Cleveland agreement and many mines
have already resumed operations, &C
cording to the official. He predicted
that within a week IS per cent of
union bituminous tonnage of the
country would be in operation.
Regarding the operators who re-
fused to participate in the Cleveland
pact. Searles said some operators in
certain sections of the country insist
that they will not accept the Cleve-
land agreement. but they do not repre-
sent the almost unanimous sentiment
Of the operators. The Cleveland agree
ment is eminently fair to the miner,
the operator and the public. Ie means
quick resumption of coal mining"
Indiana Will Sign
Mr.. Searles ventured the prediction
that the majority of the Indiana op-
orators would soon sign the Cleve-
land terms.
John L. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers, and Philip
Murray. vice president. did not return
from Cleveland, but went to Phila-
delphia to attend the anthracite con-
ference. Mr. Searles believes that the
anthracite strike will be settled this
week on much the same terms as was
the bituminous.

strike, agents Of the Department OF
Labor in indianapolis reported today.
Scores OF operators who did not
attend the Cleveland peace meeting
have signifled their intention Of join
ing IN the strike settlement. Secretary

nent, Davis said
Southwest In Conference
A conference Of miners and opera
tors Of the southwestern fields who

Pittsburgh operators who held out
against a general settlement met IN
response to a miners request that the
peace become complete in Pennsyl-
vania bitumiEous fields.
A great army Of miners, scattered
through seven coal producing States,
started back to the mines today.
Actual production OF bituminous
coal was resumed after a bitter wage
war that extended over 1ST days.

Cleveland late yesterday by operators
and miners gave the signal for re-
sumption of mining by nearly 20 per
cent of all miners on strike The old
wage scale and the ord working
agreements viii be effective until a
Joint conference appoints a commit
tee to revise them
Seven States Included
Seven States where actual prepara-
tions for mining started were: Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Washington,
Oklahoma, West Virginia and Michi-
gan.
Sixty millions tons Of coal annually
are products by mines whose owners
have accepted the agreement OF Cleve-
land While this is but drop in
the bucket to the country's annual
production, now needed in full after
the long fuel famine which has
brought supplies to a perIlously low
ebb, the same agreement will be car
ried around to other operators, who
are expected to come in.
Union Leaders Jubilant
The opening wedge to peace has
been driven, union leaders, jubilant
- over the outcome, declared at Cleve-
land
The next step will be to end the
anthracite strike by parley at Phila-
deIphia tomorrow.
Illinois mines were still closed
pending the meeting Friday in Chi
cago between operators and union
officials. The issue between the two
factions is the operators demand for
arbitration of all disputed points.

Collapse Of the building where the

that a majority Of the orphans slept

Twelve bodies were recovered, but

Stairs were cut off by fire and
smoke, and many children were saved

from blankets and sheets knotted to-
gether.
These ropes were hurr1edly in1-
provised, as the flames swept rapidly
through the structure. putting wither-
ing blasts of heat and suffocating
smoke upon the children who huddled
around the windows.
The building collapsed after the fire
had been burning two and a aalf
hours.
As the glare Of the fire died, dense
blackness closed in as there were no
road lights near the scene.
The only illumination was that OF
the f1remen's lanterns and the glow
from the embers and in this gloom
just before dawn the rescued chill
dren were checked up in an effort to
ascertain how many perished.
