COAL STRIKE IN
MONTANA ENDS
MINES ORDERED OPENTD AS
CONFERENCE SIGNS FOR
OLD WAGE SCALE
FULL CAPACITY SOON
Will Be Operating Normally Within
Week; Negotiation For New
Contract to Begin Janu-
airy 8, Next

B1llingS.-An agreement has been
signed between the United Mine Work
ers of America and the Montana Coal
Operators association officially ending
the bituminous coal strike for the state
of Montana. Resumption of work in
the mines will take place Immediately.
The agreement was reached after four
hours of conference.
The settlement is a duplication Of
the Cleveland agreement and calls for
the resumption of work in the mines
at the wage scale and the working con-
ditiOns in effect at the time Of the
strike, March 81, 1922. The contract
was signed by members of bothNparties
IND is for one years duration, or until
March 81, 1923.
1t is expected by both operators and
miners that the mines in the state will
be In full operation within the next
week. Although there is some prelim-
mary work to be done in certain mines,
the normal production will be reached
by next Monday, Mr.. Condor predicts.
Mr.. Condor, speaking for the United
Mine Workers of America, said:
"We are very well satisfied with the
settlement. 1t is a great victory for
the mine workers of this nation and for
organized labor in general. ! consider
this the most successful ending of any
strike l ever knew of. Although
the recent Canadian strike surpassed
ours in the numbers participating, the
Canadian miners did not secure that
for which they were striking. I am
very happy to think that work will be
resumed Immediately. 1t will mean
much to the miners who have been on
strike for nearly five months"

CUBA ASKED TO LOCK
DOORS TO BAR ALIENS
Island is Portal to Chinese SmuQQIers,
State Department Tells
Republic

Washington. - Representations have
been made to the Cuban government by
the state department. looking to steps
to prevent further smuggling of Chi
nese and Europeans from the island
republic into the United States.
In a note transmitted through the
Cuban legislation here, the American
taken the position that from the num-
Der of aliens admitted to Cuba and the
fact that there is said to be no en-
ployment available there for them, it
appears that entry to Cuba is OBJ
famed upon the belief that eventually
the aliens can be struggled into this
country.
Approximately 10000 Chinese and
about 10000 aliens from all over
Europe are now in Cuba awaiting OPP
%portunity to enter this country sur
reptitiously, in the belief of Secretary
Davis. Constant smuggling of aliens
into the United States, many of whom
"are ~bolshevists, communist and I'M
desirable citizens" Mr.. Davis said, con-
stitutes a menace to the government
delay. If In effective remedy cannot
be applied at once through voluntary
cooperation between foreign govern
ments and the United States" he said,
'then congress should Immediately en-
act a compulsory registration law to
be applied to all aliens within the Dor
ders of this country.

HARDING KEYTOBONUS;
FOE HOPE IS IN VETO
Bursum Proposal of Half Cash and
Half Certificates Is Killed
BY Senate

Washington.-The senate moved for
ward SO rapidly in It's consideration of
the soldiers bonus bill that some lead
ers regarded passage Of the measure
as more than a possibility. Opponents
were understood to be disposed to let
the bill take its course at this time,
In the belief that President Harding
planned to center their fights against
its passage over his veto.
There still was, however, no Official
information before the senate as to
the executives views, other than that
contained in his letter read to the
house last March just before that body
passed the bill. The president then adj
vised that congress either find a means
of financing the legislation or postpone
its enactment, and some friends OF the
bill as well as opponents believe he is
still of that mind.
With the committee changes cleaned
up, Senator Bursum, Republican, New
Mexico, called up his substitute, pro-
posing half cash and half certificates
of Indebtedness for the veterans, but
this was rejected without a roll call
or any discussion.
Senator Bursum protested, saying
there should be some debate on an
amendment which he believed would
save something like $4,000, 100000 to
the government. BY unanimous con
sent, action on the substitute was re-
considered.
