ANTHRACITE
WORKERS IN
!" CONFERENCE
May Reach Agreement Soon
Upon New Wage Scale
With Operators
(By the Associated Press)

Philadelphia, Aug. 1.-THE return
to the mines of anthracite workers
was expected to follow today's con-
ference between officials of the
miners union and the operators here.
The miners through the scale COM
mittee have been asking 20 per
cent increase in their pay. The oper-
ators wanted q reduction in wages:
Both sides, it was indicated as the
conference was about to convene
were ready to recede from their
stand and close observers declared
that there was q likelihood of the
1921 wage scale being captured, fol
aonther term.
If the operators and miners repre-
sentatives reach an agreement this
week, it is believed that q call would
be issued at once for q. tri-district
call at Wilkesbarre- to -ratify such &C.
ton. According to terms of the Sha-
,nlokin convention, agreed to by the
miners on January 20, either the con-
vention or referendum vote is ne
cessary before the men are ordered
back to work.
Many Of the anthracite miners
were declared today to be in bad con-
dition as result of the long suspen-
sion of work. Operators were quoted
as saying that in some instances 1t
would take them from month to six
weeks to get them in safe condition
for operation and that it would take
even longer before normal operation
could be resumed-probaly not be-
fore October.
President Kennedy Of district num-
ber Z in statement issued at Hazel
ton last night said that the miners
would enter the Philadelphia negotl-
ations on the basis that they sub
mitted to President Harding in q
reply to his invitation. This en-
braced a no-arbitration basis and the
retention of the wage contract which
expired March 81, last.

Seek Basis for
Strike Settlement
nv tho Associated. Press)

New York, Aug. 17.-The scene
Of negotiations toward peace on the
railroads again shifted from WASH
ington to New York today, when car
rier presidents and union chie1s as,
sembled for a conference which Will
mark the fifth attempt of an OUTSIDE
agency to suggest an acceptable So
luton to the seniority riddle.
Today the Big Four brotherhoods'
"Big Brothers" of the seven striking
shop crafts unions, will seek
through their national officials 10
place before committee OF the AS
sociation Of Railway Executives, a
proposal for settlement which W.
be acceptable to both sides. 80,
One possible plan by which the
roads might maintain their policy OF
regarding loyal and new employees
with seniority preference over re-
turning strikers and still effect
compromise with the shop crafts
appeared in the mass of unoff'cia'
discussion in railway circles prior
to the conference.
" The Plan
Such a plan, which 1T was De'
,;eved would be acceptable to the
crafts was outlined by certain exc
cutives as follows:
THAT the railroads instead OF
heinp bound by the majority action
~ the association of railway exc
cutives, be permitted to take PACK
no many of the strikers as needs OF
Individual roads dictated. This would
assure Jobs to all the strikers on
mast If the roads in the country
particularly in the southeast anu
throughout the west.
2-That the roads and unions
agree to recognize the seniority OF
loyal employees who refused u
strike. =.
3-That the seniority status OF
returning strikers and so-calleo
"new men" be fixed through agree
ments between unions and manage,
ments of individual roads, governed
partly by standards of efficiency OF
individual employees in both classes
4-That all pension rights be re-
stored to the pre-strike status.
No official sponsor appeared 1o'
this plan. Members of the execu'
tives' committee declined TO as
cuss its merits and the Big Four re-
representatives. took a similar attl'
tude.

Prout Denounces Browns
Plan for Olympic Changes
Proposals Are Not Practical,
Says A. A. u. Head.

William G. Prout. president OF the
Amateur Athletic Union, Is very much
opposed TO the proposals OF the Ma
tional Amateur Athletic Federation call
ing for a revision Of the constitution
Of the American Olympic Association.
The amendments. proposed by Elwood
S. Brown of the Y. NJ. G. A., would kill
every sports governing body in the coun-
try. says Mr.. Prout.
Mr. Brown proposes that the Amer
ican Olympic Association shall deprive
the Amateur Athletic Union OF the right
TO approve the entries of contestants
in the Olympic games in track and field
athletics, boxing, wrestling. swimming
and gymnastics" says Mr.. Prout. He
apparently does not know that this rule
is one laid down by the International
Amateur Athletic Federation, and that
the American Olympic Association has
absolutely nothing 10 do with the con-
trol of rowing, football bicycling, fenc-
ing. rifle shooting. revolver shooting,
skating. Ice hockey. tennis, trap shoot
ing, golf, rugby soccer, Of intercollegiate
athletics OF any kind. Mr.. Brown is
very much confused on this point as he
has repeatedly given the impression that
the Amateur Athletic Union is a great
monopoly controlling ALL these sports
"Tf the federation ~ aDie 20 con-
tribute as much az the Amateur Athletic
Union 70 the success Of Americas par
ticlpation in the Olympic games In the
way OF athletes. material assistance, the
services of experienced and distinterr
ested men and IN the broad program OF
constructive work. then | think the fed
GRAFTON should be given the same recogni-
tion. To date the federation has done
absolutely nothing constructive. II
exists merely on paper Its proposals
have all been destructive. II has not
single constructive achievement to claim
as its own.
II feel very strongly that the time has
come 10 stop talking about control and
Jurisdiction and Sovereignty and 20 get
down to action In order that America
may he represented In every line OF
sport in tho next Olympics In the same
splendid manner that II has been repre-
sented In the past Let control and
Jurisdiction and sovereignty and every
thing else that Mr.. Brown talks about
depend upon achievement and service
rather than upon political activity and
If this Is done every true
sport lover in America will be satisfied"
