. Hazleton, Pa. On ' account of Uhe !
mild weather late into the fall and the
open winter experienced over the east
ern section of the country, the demand
for anthracite, coal has fallen off to
such an extent that the mines are be
ing operated only two days. For the
first time in the past li months, dur
ing which period other parts of the
country experienced a business de
pression, the miners are beginning to
feel its effect. Reports from storage
points are that the operators are not
putting away much coal in anticipation
of probable troubles with the miners
upon the expiration of the wage agree
ment next April. From this it is in
ferred that the producing interests
have little or no fear of a strike.

ences between officials of the United
Mine Workers of America and the Illi

mine near Collinsville was settled. The
30 drivers who precipitated the strike
will be fined ten dollars apiece, in accord
ance with the agreement, but only one.
half of the fine really will be paid, the
operators agreeing to 'remit the other
half, or $150, to satisfy the miners'
claims that the full spirit of the
agreement had not been observed by
the operator. A. J. Moorshead of St.
Louis was elected ' president by the
coal operators; Fred W. Lukins of Chi
cago,' vice-president, and E. P. Bent,
secretary.

the American Federation of Labor is
in favor of either making an appeal

ion was made known by Mr. Gompers
in a comprehensive report which he
read at the meeting of the executive
council of the federation. . In making
the appeal President Gompers-' de
clared the federation bad practically
exhausted all of its available funds,
that the money in the defense fund is
unavailable, and that only one of two
courses was open. , ' , .
Washington. Within less than a
decade there has been a large in
crease in the amount of Mexican labor

dred miles from the border. Now
they are working as unskilled labor
ers and as section hands as far north
as Iowa, Wyoming and San Fran
cisco. - ,

made its retort to the court and said:
"We discovered that a miner's certifi
cate was granted to one who had been
in the country about one year and
tyho had never appeared before the
examining board. We cannot too se
verely condemn such action on the
part of the mining examining boards
in promiscuously issuing certificates of
competency in this manner, and we
recommend that an investigation be
made into the conduct of the differ
ent examining boards throughout the
county, and direct that the district at
torney institute criminal proceedings
against such members of the examin
ing board who are responsible for the
outrageous practice."

will be now. - .

peal to all central and national labor
