The belief prevails the seven months' strike, which is regarded the most 1lisaa-‘ trous in the country’s annals, is virtually over and that next week miners will be hastening back to work even faster than they have returned to the pits in recent days. The decrease of the delegate conference was issued after the announcement of official figures in the balloting on the government’s terms for settling the strike, which were rejected by a majority of 147,606, There i3 no sign of any formal calling off the strike and it is ex- pected that some of the dle-hard districts will continue to hold out for a while; but all present indi- cations are that preparations are being made for the mining of coal to start forthwith and that the men will return, however reluc- tantly, under conditions that almost certainly will involve longer hours and lower wages. Such an ending has aroused misgivings in many quarters, where hope for permanent and contented peace seemingly is not strong. It is contended that while the miners have gained nothing and lost much, the mine owners cannot claim more than a pyrrhic victory. Their losses and the losses of the shareholders are enormous; the na-~ tion and national industries have suffered Incalculable disaster which privilege of attending the reception and dinner given in honor of the Most Rev. Archbishop John Cleplak of Poland. “On February 4th, the eity was visited by a very severe snow storm, which was accompanied by strong winds, with the result that the foundry building of one of our in- dustries collapsed, killing several men and injuring others. At the time news of the disaster reached us, several men were buried under the debris. We offered the Mayor |the services of the Legion, in ary capacity it could be used, also ad- | vising him we had a detail of twen- ty men ready for immediate action, {and a reserve of twice that number. | Our offer was accepted and twenty- | four of these men labored from 4 P. M. until 9 P. M. helping to re- | move the debris. A public appeal | was made for funds for immediate | relief of the families of the men killed. The Eddy-Glover Post con- tributed $20. | “This disaster emphasized the | desirability of having a well organ- ized | Community. The result was that a | committee was appointed, headed | by Vice-Commander N. C. Avery, in setting up an Emergency Organ- ization of 65 men, and a first aid | group headed by Miss G. E.

Thro the generosity of the Ladies’ Au: tary and Robert Vance, refreshments and cigars were furnished. “About fifty of our members and their families attended the National Convention at Philadelphia and made a very good account of them- | selves. All were uniformly dressed and made a neat appearance in the parade held October 12th. “About forty members of the Post their annual pilgrimage to Allentown hospital and distributed gifts to the disabled. The concert was furnished by our band. “This year we departed from our usual method in observing Armis- tice Day. Belleving that a street parade held in the early evening was not an eftective way of cele- brating the one day of the year tha meant so much to us in 1918, we decided to hold a banquet in the State Armory, to which all service- men and the citizens of N ain were invited. This ga excellent opportunity to again mingle with our former buddies and the citizens of New Britain in an appropriate celebration of the day dear to all veterans of the World War and their families. The cele- success—over two hundred attended the banquet. I would recommend the continuance of the Armistice Banquet, supple- mented by an outside demonstration.

They say its policy has failed, and its final effort to keep control in set- tiements of dispute between miners and mine onwers is regarded as a hopeless attempt to save its face. Viscount Grey of Fallodon, for- mer ambassador to the United States, in a recent speech said the miners had been beaten, not by the owners and not by the govern- ment, but by economic facts. This view is endorsed by an influential seetion of the press. The Times, citing Viscount s summation of the situation, It would be even truer to ay they were beaten by their own leadership, notwithstanding the government’s efforts to save them.” The neyspaper- thinks that the edrly departure’ of A. J. Cook, s retary of the federation, to attend the congress of the Russian unions in Moscow next month is a significant fact. After a the vote against the terms of settlement, the miners’ delegates adopted a resolution that all the districts b asked to nego- tiate with mine owners for agree ments but that no settlement should be made until a further natfonal conference was held to receive the reports. This left the miners and the mine owners in e result a make the best terms possible, un- | supervision | der rather shadowy which the federation hopes to hold over the settlements, without any aid from the government.
