as q result In inadequate educa-
tionaI advantages provided for pu-
pills, the members OF the board OF

dent Thomas J. Condor yesterday

ters and frequently gave hard rap. The
applause was loud. Mr. Golden read
statements made by Mr.. Halvor Berg be
fore Committee of Congress in 1925

the German army. the highest rank he
attained was corporal; but today he is

Another is Mussolini of Italy, poor
shoemaker who could hardly earn enough
for his subsistence; he became an editor
and today Mussolni defies the world
John Bull trembes whenever kussolin
speaks. Is it, then, impossible for St.

MINE CONFEREES
NEAR AGREEMENT
Both Factions Approval in
Principle of Pact Reported.
Talks Continue.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May IA peace pact
upon which ENJOYS Of anthracite
operators and the United Mine Workers
Union were said to have agreed IN
principle, but still deliberated, faced
today two more hurdles before it could
be effective-general approval by en-
ployers and rank and file ratification
by employees.
A committee from the joint con-
ference of miners and operators re-
turned today to the task of writing
the new two-year working agreement,
the announced accord having averted a
disastrous tie-up in the industry en-
ploying some 100000 miners.
Due to contracts maintained by the
miner representatives, headed by John
L. Lewis, union president, with their
constituency during the II weeks
negotiations, there appeared little pos
sibility union approval of the contract
would not be readily forthcoming.
Union spokesmen at Wilkes-Barre
Pa, anthracite center, said the con-
tract could be considered by referendum
or by the miners tri-district conven-
ton.
Although no call was issued in New
York, they expressed belief a conven-
ton would be summoned. 1t was likely,
they felt, that the December conven-
ton which drafted demands that served
as a foundation for the New York
negotiations might be reconvened with
the same delegates.
The Pennsylvania anthracite region
was joyful with spread Of the news Of
the averted shutdown.
From T. NJ B. Hicks, chairman OF
the Wilkes-Barre Anthracite Com
mittee, came approval of a proposal
for commission to rebuild the in
dustry. Proposal of stabilization
body was reported agreed upon by the
New York conferees.
The joint conferences subcommittee
expected to resume drafting the new
contract at IL am, Eastern standard
time, today and hoped to have it ready
shortly for submission to the full
group.

and other employment conditions re-
manned uncompleted when the COM
mittee adjourned after midnight today
