SHAMOKIN, Pa. January 21.-De-
mands adopted by the tri-district
wage convention Of the anthracite
miners. which adjourned late last
night. will be presented for ratifica-
ton to the international convention
Of the United Mine Workers. at In
dianapolis next month.
The principal demands provide a 20
per cent increase in the contract wage
scale and an advance Of 81 a day for
all mon employed by the day. Nine
teen demands were presented, some Of
technical character. All were adopt
ed without serious opposition.
April I Strike Threat.
The convention instructed the scale
committee to perfect arrangements
providing a suspension of mining on
April in the event that no satisfac-
tory agreement has been reached by
March 81. when the present wage
scale expires.
This action was unexpected by some
Of the leaders, it was said. and did not
provoke dissenting voices among the
delegates. 1t has been the custom of
the anthracite miners except in one or
two instances to remain at work
pending the favorable progress of
wage negotiations. The demands of
the anthracite men will be presented
to the operators after the Indianapolis
convention.
President John L. Lewis of the tn
ternational organization today ex-
pressed qualification at the action OF

'DR. BA[[0U SCORES
lNADEQUATEFUNDS
Sees Little Hope Of Meeting
School Needs With Pres
4 ent Estimates.

There is little hope Of meeting ade'
quately the public school situation
In the District Of Columbia because
Of the inadequate estimate included
in the budget now before Congress
according to DR.. Frank w. Ballou
superintedent Of public schools, who
explained In detail tho local school
conditions last night at . meeting
of the American Association Of Uni
versity Women at 1907 H street.
Considering the manner in which
the local schools have been treated
thus far in the matter of finances fol
look is most discouraging DR.. Ballou
stated. The need for greater appro'
priations at this time Is most UT.
gent" he declared. But it will not
be possible to expand or progreAs be-
cause OF the manner In which the
original estimates Of the board OF
education have been pruned: hrst by
the board of District Commissioners
then by the bureau of the budget and
then by Congress"
Declared Non.ProGressive.
DR.. Ballou stated that the budget
as it went to Congress was non-pro-
gressive, and since its treatment In
Congress thus far 1t has become still
less progressive. In further discuss
that, without wishing to be critical
he is of the opinion that the schools
of Washington will never be treated
in progressive and constructive
manner just 80 long aS the present
arrangement of preparing estimates
schools is continued. It e his opinion
that the local system will be unpro-
gressive and inadequate to meet local
demands. He believes far too many
people, unfamiliar with the real
needs Of the schools. are intrusted
with the power to cut estimates pre-
pared by the school heads. He con-
sidered this most unfortunate, espe-
cially when the local schools are In
such urgent need of money to ex-
pand, when practically every school
building in the city is crowded be-
yond its actual capacity. He said
that most of his time as head Of the
to correcting conditions rather than
promoting the actual educational work
of the school.
Subcommittee Lauded.
DR.. Ballou said he was pleased, how
ever, with the interest being taken by
the Joint congressional subcommittee
headed by Senator Capper. Of Kansas.
which Is making a survey Of the local
schools II this committee continues
this survey in the same interested and
thorough manner DIR. Ballou feels cer-
tain that the District will be benefited.
probably not this year but maybe next
year.
DR.. Ballou described in detail the es-
Inmates as prepared by the schoe,
heads, their treatment by the Commis.
sioners. and then by the budget bureu :,
and then explained the privisions OF the
budget as 1t now stands. He said L..
conclusion that one outstanding feature
Is that for many years Congress has
shown by its appropriations that 1t has
failed to keep abreast Of the natural
growth Of the schools Of the District OF
Columbia and that therefore the system
has been slighted.
