Two million persons in the anthra-'

Guiding the 15S.OO@ mine workers
who stood solidly behind their lead
ers, celebrated tonight the ending
of the suspension which had par
alyzed business and brought bank
ruptcy and want to many.
A five-year contract was agreed
upon, the longest term ever negoti-
ated in the haTd coal industry.
The old wage scale, which expired
last August, was re-adopted, but
after January l, 1927, either miners
or operators will have the right at
least once year to propose wage.
changes.
Arbitration, the principle which
three times wrecked the peace nego-
tiations, is provided for in the agree
ment if a dispute arises over wage
adjustments and it is only optional
and is claimed oy the union leaders
to be a great victory for them. The
word 'shall" that has appeared in
all the peace plans heretofore sub
mitted by the operators in their
arbitration offers today was changed
to ''may."
The miners also claim a victory on
the check-off demand, for which they
have been fighting for rs years, first
under the leadership of John Mitchell
and then under successive presidents
of the United Mine Workers
The word "check-off" does not ap-.
pear in the agreement, but it is COW
cred in the agreement in the phrase
shall work, out reciprocal program
of cooperation and efficiency"
Union leaders said that this means
the operators are obligated and un-
derstand that they must agree to
some system of deducting union dues
from the miners wages. To fail to
do this union leaders said, would be
an act of "bad faith" under the
agreement.
Leaders among the operators and
miners tonight were emphatic In
their declarations that the settlement
