MINERS WILLING
lContinued from Paae Onel .

when the action was announced In
his office, where the meeting was
held and he was notified by telephone
tonight of the miners decision.
Awaiting developments the union
officials and members of the trrdls-
tricst committee decided to remain in
Harrisburg for at least "a hours, and
meeting was called for z. NJ. to-
morrow at the capital. No word had
been received from any of the opera
tors previous to today's meeting, but
the miners representatives were in
f1uenced in part in their decision to
stay here longer by the possibility OF
action by them.
Although the operators negotiating
committee had been invited to attend
the conference yesterday at which
the governor presented his plan, only
the miners were present. Major w.
w. Inglis, chairman of the operators
committee, wired Mr.. Pinchot that it
was impossible to get his committee
together in time. He suggested a
later meeting and proposed that the
plan be held confidential until both
sides should have opportunity to
consider it. The governor. however,
held that the situation must be made
public, and went ahead. His propos-
ais contained eleven points. covering
the main issues which caused a dead
lock in the negotiations last August
The principal features of his plan
are:
Creation of board of investiga
ton and award" to be chosen by the
operators and miners with authority
to determine whether costs justify
increased wages and to make an
award within six months if an in
crease is warranted; five year
agreement with no increase in coal
prices beyond those scheduled for
1925; a modified form of check off
under which operators would honor
voluntary assignments of wages for
union dues up to S14, without full
recognition of the union; equalization
Of wages by the existing anthracite
Cancellation board, and termination
of the present suspension and imme-
date resumption Of mining.

r. j. Finlow. first officer of the Cum

WOMEN SCREAM
Continued from Pace Qnel

during which they had taken a lunch
period and had returned once to have
the statutes on the degrees of muir
der read. Just after midnight they
brought in their verdict. That against
Dexereaux was pronounced first.
When Heinlein heard his pronounce
ment a woman screamed. McLaug-
lin tottered when he rose to hear his
verdict. Several of his women rela-
tives screamed and sobbed and the
courtroom was in confusion.
While they were being led and car
ried out, Judge Fosdick went to the
jury box and said: 1T is very sad
thing that the persons who set out
to do these crimes do not think of
their loved ones when they do it or
before they do it. If they did there
would be fewer crimes. Do not feel
any reproaches for what sou have
done"
In the confusion the ordered YER
dict of not guilty against Peter V.
King, who had turned states evil
dence, was scarcely audible. He is
held, however, as accessory in con-
nectioin with the murder.
Charles Driscoll. counsel for Helm.
lein. indicated tonight that the de-
Tense exceptions, in the cases OF
Heinlein and Mclaughlin, at least
would be based partly on point OF
law which Judge Fosdick stressed
in his charge to the jury. The judge
ordered a verdict of guilty of muir
der in the first or second degret
for DevereauX and said that the 9th.
er two might be found guilty or not
guilty, but that if guilty they must
be in the same degree as that ol
Devereaux.
The full bench of the supreme
court never has ruled on the legal
ity Of this point of law and the de
Tense will take this opportunity o
forcing 4 decision, Attorney Driscol
said.

individuality in Front Doors

eled door is to emphasize the panels
with color contrasting with that of
the frame. For instance, a blue
trim, with panels of strong, warm
gray, would be charming; also,
chocolate-brown panels with cream
colored interstices and frame. An
other interesting treatment is to
paint the mouldings contrasting
color, or two colors. To illustrate;
Put dark mouldings on white

Orange mouldings are effective with

IN European countries, especially

As the main entrance to the
