HARD COAL MINERS
STRIKE EXPECTED
TO BE ENDED TO-DAY
Continued from page 1

Mr.. Warmer. as chairman Of the
operators policies committee; w. j.
Richards. president Of the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron Company;
w. w. Inglis, president OF the Glen
Alden Coal Company. and w. L. Con-
nell. president Of the Green Ridge Coal
Company, were chosen to represent
the operators.
In addition to Mr.. Lewis. the miners
were to be represented by w. J. Bren-
nan, president of District No. /;
Thomas Kennedy. president OF Dis
trict No. 7, and c. ]. Golden, presi-
dent of District No. 8.
II the operators and miners repre-
sentatives reach an agreement this
week. 1t was believed that a call would
be issued Mt once for a tri-district con-
vention at Wilkes-Barre to ratify such
action. According to the terms OF the
Shamokin convention, agreed to by the
miners on January 20, either the con-
vention or a referendum vote Ia nee
essary before the men are ordered
back to work.
An announcement for the district
president at Pottsville yesterday called
for probable meeting at Wilkes
Barre next Tuesday in the event OF an
agreement having been reached before
that time. 1t was not expected a
final decision could be reached by the
miuers before Thursday or Friday OF
next week.
The referendum vote amongst the
miners, 1t was pointed out, would re.
ouire at least two weeks, whereas the
convention can be called In a much
shorter time. Members OF the national
executive committee from the Schuyl.
kill district last night in Pottsvills
declared the convention plan a better
one.
Many of the anthracite mines were
declared today to be in bad condition
as result of the long suspension o
work. Operators We're quoted as say.
ing that in some instances It woult
take from.a month to six weeks to gel
them in a safe condition for operation
and that it would take even longe
before normal condition could be re
sumed-probably not before October
Today's session of the conference,
was not expected to be q long one. I
was intimated this morning that tn
obvious difficulties Of the situatio,
probably would be all to be discusse,
and such discussion would be followe,
by an adjournment during which botl
participants may agree amongst them
selves on their separate proposals j
second meeting is then expected whei
the proposals may be presented In turi
and discussed openly.
!, President Kennedy OF District Nc
z. In a statement issued at .Hazleto
last night said that they would ente
the Philadelphia negotiations on tn
basis that they submitted to Presi
dent Harding in reply to his inv!
, tation. This embraced n no arbitra
ton basis and the retention of wag
scale OF the contract that expire

STUDY ANTI STRIKE LAW.
Delaware Statute Found Most Dras
tic In Its Provisions.

Although to the present time men
arrested in strike disorders have only
been charged with a breach Of the
peace and disorderly conduct, local
officials OF the police and others con-
nected with law enforcement in the
city and county are studying the Del
aware anti-strike law with a view to
dealing out more severe punishment
If future developments make 1t neces-
sary.
1t has been found under the law
that the penalties are more severe
than for ordinary offenses, The
penalty for inducing an employee to
leave his work for a compensation or
TO stop working is punishable with a
fine of not less than $500 and not more
than $1,000, and imprisonment for no,
more than one year. This law has
been on the statute books for a Ions
time.
