Miners YIELD;
STRIKE AT END
Workers Acceptance of Pinchot's
Terms Returns Men
to Pits.
FULL RECOGNITION OF UNION
Eight-Hour Day Granted, With over
time-Uniform Increase of 10
Per Cent Given Men-check-
off to Be Dropped.

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept 8.-Unani-
nous acceptance by the full scale
committee of anthracite miners of the
four points advanced by Governor
Pinchot of Pennsylvania paved the
way for the settlement of the strike
of 10000 anthracite miners, now IN
it's seventh day.
The four points on which Governor
Pinchot settled the strike follow:
1. Recognition of the basic eight
hour day for all employees; if longer
hours are necessary at certain times
or in certain occupations, the over
time to be paid for at the eight-hour
rate.
2. A uniform increase of 10 per
cent for all employees. This Increase
to take effect September 1.
3. Full recognition of the union by
the operators, without the check-off,
but the right to have union repre-
sentative present when the men are
paid.
4. Complete recognition of the prin-
ciples of collective bargaining.
An additional point to replace No.
1, which both sides had agreed upon,
was made in the governors sugges-
ton to have a joint board investigate
all conflicting wage rates to remove
inequalities.
A joint session of miners and opera
tors was held in the governors recep-
ton room at the State house to work
out contract and to reduce in writ
ting certain minor points still in dis
pute.
Members of the scale committee are
holding themselves in readiness to
approve the final draft of the con-
tract, which will then be printed and
sent to 300 local unions of anthracite
miners, who will send delegates to a
tri-district miners convention to be
held in Scranton or Wilkes-Barre next
week.
It is not expected that mining Of
coal can be resumed before another
ten days have passed, even If the
final negotiations are completed with
out a hitch.
