MINE UNION WINS
"CHECK-OFF" PLEA
Dues to Be Taken From Pay at
Window Under New Wage
Agreement Being Studied.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 9.-The New York
World says that the check-of system of
collecting union dues and assessments,
for which the anthracite miners have
fought for 80 years, will be provided for
in the wage agreement now under nego-
tiation between miners and operators
here.
The agreement will be a compromise
between the union demand for the
check-off as practiced in the bituminous
fields, when the employer deducts the
amount the local union certifies its due
and pays it in one check, and the old
position of the operator, that it is no
part of their job to collect union dues
and that under Pennsylvania law they
could not do so legally.

A large portion Of the Repub-

Fear Last Ditch stand
Party leaders fear Huston is
girding himself FOR defiant,
Ehack.totl wall fight In which he
will enlist the aid Of the dis.
gruntIed contingent from the
southern States and demand he
be retained regardless.
They are looking askance at
the activities of Col. Horace
Mann, who built up a pro.
Huston organization in the South
during the 1928 campaign which
Postmaster General Brown since
has tried vainly to tear down.
They have been startled by
rumors Huston was going to re-
appear and call a meeting of the
fun committee, at which he
would get either q vote Of conf
dence or would drag other leaders
with him on the way out.

likes to do such a thing. he dis
