Special Dispateh to The Star PHILADELPHIA, Pa., February —Conditions contained in the “un dercover agreement’ between anthra- cite coal miners and the mine opera- tors—an agreement known to exist since the death of the strike, but never officially recognized—have been learned. The secret agreement, however, is looked upon generally by both miners and operators as likely to as another vides First—That the anthracite board of concilfation shall work out a plan of reparation between the workers and operators, which will involve the grant to the men of the right—when they make a request in writing—to have §14 a vear deducted from their pay for union dues and assessments. ‘Ihe mine workers, on their side, will engage to stamp out sporadic local strikes and co-operate wholeheartedly for the economic and efficient opera- tion of the mines in and about which they are employed. Second—That subdistrict conciliators work out thoss problems requiring speedy decistons, and go from opera- tion to operation in furtherance of the plan for efficlency and co-opera- tion. Third—That the board of concili- ation conduct an immediate survey of all inequalities in wages for the same kind of work in all the districts. Tables of wage rates from every mine in the district are to be filed with the board as soon as possible. The board will then fix wage rates for all classes of work as soon as possible, and these shall be applicable through: out the region. Fourth—That a determined effort be made by both parties to create an era of good will, understanding and falr play, to supplant the attitude of suspicion and antagonism that has worked hardships on the industry in the past. 20 GOETHE LOVERS INCREASE Dr. Rheinhold Added to Admirers in German Cabinet.

Many measures are pending before Congress dealing with this subject, most of them having several points of merit,” sald the statement, ‘but the executive committes cannot en- dorse any of the measures now pend- ing_in their present form. “The grange does not want to place itself in the position of opposing any measure which can bs amended along sound economic lines. It does not overlook the fact that Intelligent pro- duction fs necessary to bring perma- nent relief and that lagislation should recognize this fact. The grange hopes that some definitely sound and effec- tive measure can be enacted into law." Other action taken by the commit- tee Included declarations favoring in- creased appropriations for the eradi- cation of bovine tuberculosis to §6,000,- 000 in 1927; opposing increased freight rates on Western roads; opposing the Stanfleld grazing bill, and calling for amendment of the Watson-Parker bill setting up new agencies for settlement of railroad labor disputes, to protect further the interests of the public.
