MINERS AGREE TO PINCHOT'S TERMS TO SETTLE STRIKE
tcontinued From Page One)

terday" the governor told news paper men. Negotiations for drawing up a new wage contract are to pro ceed after D. m. in my office be- tween the miners representatives and the operators committee and l confidently expect prompt and complete agreement upon all de- tails.
 Tn making this announcement desire to call attention to the spirit of fairness and forbearance on the part of both miners and operators with which my efforts to reach set clement have been met"
 MT. Lewis followed him in brief address:
 "In acquiescing to the four basic points of Governor Pinchot's pro- posals the representatives of the mine workers have been fully conscious of the public interest. The mine work CTS proposed to fight to the finish with the anthracite operators and had every reason to believe that the end of such contest would have brought fulfillment of their major demands.
 we have, however, the natural de- sire that goes with good citizenship to obviate the public embarrassment and discomfort and inevitable suffer- ing that would accompany q conflict between forces of such magnitude.
 O O O
 Don't Think Increase Sufficient.
 We do not feel the wage increase proposed Is sufficient to compensate the mine workers for the particular service they render of producing an- thracite under the adverse conditions they encounter. Neither do we be- lieve a 10 per cent increase is suffi- cient to enable them to meet their family needs and other requirements We feel that our action in this in- stance in voluntarily agreeing to the public spirited proposals of Governor Pinchot will meet the commendation of the American people and insure for the mine workers greater degree Of concession for the ills from which they suffer
 "rhe action of the mine workers was made possible by the operators when they agreed to abandon their demand for arbitration and their fur ther demand that the mine workers forego asking consideration Of the re- maining demands not covered by the four points. In the face of this ac- tion, representatives of the mine workers are reluctant to continue suspension of production in the indus try which would mean suffering for the mine workers and their families and prove tremendously disturbing to business and seriously dangerous to the American people.
 we nave informed tho governor of our willingness to meet the op- orators and negotiate terms of agree ment for new wage contract which when ratified by the mine workers will mean a prompt termination Of the pending suspension. Governor Pinchot Is entitled to the praise of the American people for the diligent and capa ble manner in which he has devoted himself to the solution of tremendous problem. The mine work CTS feel that all credit for the pres

Senator Tells What He Would Do If

DIES MONIES, la, Sept. 7.-If recognition of a foreign government meant approval of 1t and Senator Smith Wiidman Brookhart was presi- dent. the recognition of several coun- tries would be withdrawn, the Iowa senator declares in an article urging Russian recognition published Friday, in the Iowa Legionnairs.
 Brookhart believes that recognition of the soviet may tend to settle world unrest and restore world pros perity. sl. s8t
 The recognition of a government does not mean its approval" Brook hart says. 'If it did, I should oppose 1t, and there are several other coun tries whose recognition would with draw.
 The present Russian government, however, is many times better than Czarism, which we recognized for ll0 years.
 Tt is also many times better than that of the unspeakable Turk, with his long history of Christian mur- ders, but whose government we have always recognized and do now"
 Russian propaganda in this country is dead" Brookhart says, and never was "one-tenth part of what we put ont against them"

MODIF FED TERMS FUR SETTLEMENT
 OFFERED GREECE.
Demands Outlined by AmbaS- SadorS Stern Enough To
 Find Favor With Italy

PARIS, Sept. 7.-(By Associated Press s.)-The council of ambassadors sent note to the Greek government today embodylng proposals for the settlement of the Greco Italian con- troyersy. The proposals somewhat modify the demands made upon Greece by Premier Moushsolini. While they have not been officially dis closed, it is understood they con- tain the following terms:
 l. The Greek fleet to pay honors to the Italian naval squadron at Piraeus, which will be accompanied by a British and a French war ship, the Greek fleet saluting the inter all lied flags with 21 guns; the Inter allied ships to enter port without saluting.
 ?. A memorial service to be held in the Catholic church, attended by all the members of the Creek govern ment During the service the ships in the harbor will fly their flags at half mast.
 3. Military honors to be paid when the bodies of the victims are placed on board ship.
 4. Greece to deposit the sum of 50, 000, 900 lire as a guarantee for the payment she may be called upon to make.
 5. An international commission presided over by the Japanese shall control the Greek investigation. 7 The text which was sent to the Greek government at Athens received the unanimous endorsement of tne allied representatives, but beyond saving the council has reached an important, perhaps decisive, stage Tn the settlement of the conflict no ln- formation with an official stamp was available.
 Italian Legate Satisfied.
 Baron Avezzano, the Italian ann bassador, made no pretense of hiding his satisfaction as he left the meet ing this evening. He told the 1tailan correspondents that the decision likely would find favor in Rome. Questioned as to what welcome the note would receive at Athens the am bassador replied that it was not for him to say But the general impress sion among the other members of the council was that Greece will opey fhe instructions which it can do with o7,+ loss of prestige as would have been the case had the 1tallan ulll- matum been accepted.
 It is understood that the council decided to appoint committee to ln- vestigate the murders of the Italian members of the commission when will be headed by a Japanese. The question of indemnity, 1t IS under stood, would be held in abeyance un- iii this report is made to the ambas- sadors' council providing that Greece maintains it's offer to deposit 50,000,- 0O0 lire as security for paying the amount the council fixes.
