FAREWELL ADDRESS OF BRIGA.
DER GENERAL r. L. GIBSON TO
THE LOUISIANA BRIGADE.
Hdqrs. Gibson's Brigade,

Hdqrs. Gibson's Brigade,
Near Meridian, Miss, May 8, 1865.
Fellow Soldiers-For more than
four years we have shared together
the fortunes of war. Throughout all
the scenes of this eventful revolution
you have been fully tried, and now re-
tire with the consciousness OF having
achieved a character of discipline, tor
yalor, and for unseltish patriotism of
which you may be justly proud.
There is nothing in your career to
look back upon with regret. You
have always been in front Of the ene-
my; you have never feasted in soft
places at the rear, nor fought your
battles at comfortable fresides. Your
banners are garlanded with the en-
blems of every soldierly virtue. More
than twenty battle-felds have seen
them unfurled. They were never
lowered save over the bier of COM
rade. Forget not the good and true
men who have fallen. No sculptured
marble may perpetuate the memory
of their services; but you will wear
their names ever green in your hearts,
and they will be enshrined forever in
the affections Of the Southern people,
in whose cause they fell. Comrades,
henceforth other duties will devolve
upon you. Adversities can only
strengthen the ties that bind you to
your country and increase the obliga-
tions you owe TO her interests and her
honor. As soldiers, you have been
among the bravest and most stead
fast, and as citizens, be law-abiding,
peaceable and industrious. You have
not surrendered and will never sur
render your self-respect and love OF
country. You separate not as friends,
but brethren whom common hopes,
mutual trials, and equal disasters
have made kinsmen. Hereafter you
shall recoun| to your children, with
conscious pride, the story of these
rugged days, and you will always
greet a comrade of the old brigade
with open arms. Having commanded
a company nd regiment in the brig
ade, l haveiknown many Of you from
the very beginning Of the struggle
have been with you through all its
varied fortunes, and offer to each Of
you a grateful and affectionate fare
we'll. MAJ God bless you.

/ Brigadier General, Commanding

Wilkes Barre, Pa, Sept. S.--Ratin-
cation of the peace agreement reach
cd with the operators last Saturday
by the anthracite mine workers scale
committee. which will end the long
suspension, was definitely before the
delegates TO the tri-district convention
of the miners today. Thomas Ken
nedy, president of District No. Z, and
chief of the scale committee, finished
the reading of his report of the ne
rotiations which he laid before the
delegates in chronological order and
a motion was made by a delegate that
a report compending the acceptance
of the peace proposal be adopted.
John l.. Lewis. international presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers,
who presided, warned the delegates
that the adoption of the motion car
ried with II the ratification OF the
peace pact.
A motion to lay the report on tho
table was ruled out of order by Mr..
Lewis, who suggested that Interna-
tional President Murray be
granted time to analyze the work of
the scale committee. Mr.. Lewis paid
a high tribute 10 the members OF the
scale committee. and told the dele
gates the committee had obtained the
best that could be had at this time
from the operators.
There was considerable disorder
when Mr.. Murray tried to speak and 1
was some time before President Lewis
could quiet the delegates There wer'
demands from different parts OF th'
hall that a vote be taken.
Mr.. Murray. in his address. said th'
scale committee forced the operator
to abandon their stand for arbitration
He told the delegates that the settle
ment was one of the greatest eve
made with employers under simila
conditions. The one-year agreemen
was the best that could be obtained
He pointed out that more than a mil
lion railroad employees had been force
10 take a reduction in wages.
II ratification failed, Mr.. Murray de
clared, the existence of the unio
would be at stake. The peace settle
ment. he added, maintained the hig
standard of wages obtained in 1921
and promised the miners there woul
be no backward step in future ne
gotations.
