COALSTR|K.[ Will
Be DECIDED ! D: upon u.
Both Operators and Miners
Confident Of Settle
ment by Friday

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug s.
With a definite program for end
ing the soft coal strike ready for
consideration tomorrow, the joint
conference OF the leaders of the
striking union miners and coal
operators today marked time
awaiting the expected arrival Of
other operators. especially those
in Illinois and Indiana. In add,
from several other state scatter
red over the soft coal fields, for
the program contemplated a set
Element OF substantially a national
basis.
No d decisions Of the joint con-
ference were held today, and
while there were several inf formal
meetings Of both operators and
and union officials their interest
was centered largely in Chicago
and Indianapolis, where operators
were expected to determine who
would attend the conference to-
morrow.
President John L. Lewis of the
miners and also leaders among
the operators here were optimistic
regarding the probability Of a set
item ent.
Program for Settlement.
IN brief, the program for set
Element called for esta b1ish ment
of the wage contracts that expired
last March 81, the eve of the be-
ginning OF the tie-up that has con-
tinued more than four months,
and also the creation OF an ad-
visory commission Of inquiry
through whose influence it was
expected that disputes would be
-fy IL h q o.
established wage contracts would
continue in force until next April
L, and meanwhile the com mission
would draft recomm endations for
future contracts. The .ch eek
off, systems of operators of union
dues would maintain their estab-
Iishment as in old contracts and
there would be no change Of work
ing conditions
Mine union leaders and opera
tors who had gathered here for
the joint conference said they had
assurances that a mum Der Of
prominent operators Of Illinois
and Indiana would have delegates
here tomorrow. it being expected
that the Indiana delegation would
Include President Ogle Of the ma
tional organization. 1t was said
that some Iowa, Missouri, Wyom-
ing and other operators were al
ready on their way to this city.
~ Predictions today from boph
sides OF the wage conference were
that interests outside the coal
field would participate in the dis
cussion starting tomorrow. Among
the questions to be decided in adj
dition to the principle of adop-
ton or rejection of the general
program for settlement was
whether a single wage agreement
would be accepted for all soft
coal fields, or whether one would
be made for the old field alone
with separate contracts being
drawn on the basis of the central
field contract for the outlying dis
tricts.
Though the strike may be set
tied on nationwide scale, there
is expected to remain several
thousands Of miners still on
strike The largest number would
be in Central Pennsylvania, a
partly unionized field. where
many non-union mines were shut
down by waikouts that marked
the development Of the strike.

Election officials, however, ex-

The open square before the Court

ANOTHER VICTIM
OF DEPOT ROAD
Pedestrian Knocked into Ditch
by Passing Car. Driver
= Berates Him

John L. Frick while returning from
work one evening last week was only
a few steps away from his home be-
low Kells avenue, when he was struck
a glancing blow by a passing Ford
and knocked over into the ditch along
the road. Two cars had attempted
to pass each other, and the driver OF
the car going south evidently did not
see Mr.. Frick. At any rate, only a
rare piece of good fortune prevented a
most serious accident. Piling insult
upon injury, the driver OF the car
stopped his motor and came back TO
where Mr.. Frick was truggling pain
f,,lIv to his feet. Instead of assist
ING, the stranger berated the untor-
tunate for walking in the roadway
which rightfully belonged to the autos
and teams. Mr.. Frick procured the
license number of the car.
This is just another example OF the
eytreme danger which constantly
follows anyone walking on the road
from the College property on down
TO the station. There are no llghts
| whatsoever. There is no place TO
walk without taking the smooth
n,acadam. To attempt to- walk along
the side would only invite compllca-
tions with somebody's wire fence. In
one sense of the word, the pedestrian
must look out for himself, for 1t Is a
nublic road and not a city street. Ana
# is not only the walker who is up
in arms over the deplorable situation
Drivers have time and again barely
missed plunging into some one along
side the road while engaged IN pass
mo another car. With the strong
,iobts in his eyes, the man at the
wheel is driving almost blindly aheae
until he passes the oncoming car Al
this time the dear old Public VINO rely
,non shanks Mare for getting aroune
are scrambling up the side OF some
hodv's graded bank to avoid pelh'
Jraned across a passing fender.
To protect both the pedestrian ant
the driver of teams and autos, tner'
;s only one way out-and that is
eide walk and lights along the lowe
nart of Depot road. You can't oiam
the drivers for they cannot see; IKE
u;se Won can't criticise the pedestrian
for where in the world can they "ai
if not in the roadway!

AT LAST

The Newark-Roseville Road was
thrown open Saturday for light traf-
fic. This announcement in itself
would be most satisfactory as gen.
eral news item to every one save the
citizens of Newark and vicinity. To
them it assumes the proportions of
an event or an epoch or something.
Accordingly the news spread like an
oil fire into every household. After
the long wait comes the reward for
our patience. With the opening of the
Roseville section there stretches a
complete ribbon of concrete and ma
cadam from Philadelphia to Washing
ton. Trucks are still humping over
the detour and will be for some time
to come, as the newly laid concrete
has not seasoned sufficiently to allow
the passage Of the heavy vehicles.

sented by teachers of the State upor
the same general topic. DR.. w. l.
Bevan and DR.. G. H. Ryden delivered
addresses to the High School History
seS.ion on Friday.
One of the items of local interes
to come out of the convention was tht
reelection of Miss Agnes Snyder

at the Women's College and a leading
worker in the local public schools a
secretary of the body, post she ha
held ever since the Association becam

joyed a most pleasant evening to
gether.
