' President Wilson's bituminous ceal commission at Washington will ‘not have any effect on negotiations of ‘the anthracite agreement, officials of the mine ‘workers' union declared. The hard coal workers, it was stated, will reach a decision “if possible” regard- less of any award affecting the bi-| tuminous field. A disagreement in the bituminous commission, however, resulting in John P. White, miners’ representative, refusing to sign the award, the mine workers said, would prevent it being used as a basis for any settlement in the anthracite fields. John L. Lewis, international presi- dent of the United Mine Workers, left this afternoon for Washington to ac- quaint himself with the reported award of the president's commission. He said he would confer with Mr. | White and William Green, interna- have in the past few days, there is no fear of a freshet here.

The sixteenth demand of the mine workers calling for continuation of the war time wage increase to March 31, today was eliminated from consid- eration, on the grounds that this had already been agreed upon by miners| and operators. The war time increases granted under a “supplemental agreement” which terminates with the declaration of peace, shall be continued until ex- | piration of the contract and that our ifficers be instructed to immediately notify our representatives of the oper- ators of the decision.” The “open shop” demand was also discussed by the miners’ representa- tives. They declared that this was one of the clauses that the mine workers insisted upon in the new con- tract. The committee adjourned until to- MOITOW. CONNECTICUT COLLEGE “Plays and things of the Play” are the last word in student activities at the college these past few weeks and the coming few weeks. Rehearsals, from eight o’clock in the morning un- til ten thirty in the evening take the time and energy of student casts and directors, and the gymnasium, the rendezvous of the theatrical folk at Connecticut colloege, is busy every hour with rehearsals and meetings. The Dramatic club presentations take place Saturday evening; when | a programme of three modern short plays will be presented by members of the Dramatic club. These three plays are: “Suppressed Desires,” “Lifra Beans,” and “Good Women.” The later part of next week, La Clube Francaise will be present “Le Malade Imaginaire” of Moliere for the benefit of the Louvain Lib s being raised by colleges and | es throughout the country. The play, which is in four acts, is a comedy-ballet and a tremendous piece | jof work for college students. Benefit performances alw meet thusiastic response on the part of the sub-com- i 1 ry Fund! ers, hand- | g} students and the French play this | year no excyption to the general {rule.

Acoording to estimates of | students, twenty hours were required | to complete the work on one poster after it had been designed. There are! ten of these posters and they will be sold at auction after the French play Displayed in store windows in Nor- ch and New London, they have at- tracted public attention to the play the art department of the college. Final arrangements have been made for the senior-jurior luncheon to be held at the Mohican hotel on Satur- day afternoon. Favors representing the the mascots of the two classes have been designed and worked out by the senior rd the mascots will be in evi- in the decoration of the dining hall which will be hung with the buft ind blue of the senlor class and the purple and gold of the junior class The senior class mascot is an Aire- ale puppy and the junior mascot is the well known figure of the “Good Fairy.” During the luncheon the col- lege quartette composed of Miss Helen Perry, Nyack, N.

Although experi- ment with a Sunday delivery of mail proved a failure, the demand for a Sunday collection of mail has been insistent these past few months and throngh the efforts of President B. T. Marshall, Postmaster Bryan F. Mahan has made arrangements to have col- lege mail ‘collected on Sunday after- noon at four thirty. This arrange- ment will be very satisfactory to the entire - college body living on cam- pus. -The delivery of college mail is in the hands of students and during the past year, under a student post- mistress, Miss' Jeanette Lettney, of New Haven, many improvements have - been- introduced into’ the' sys- tem ,of other vears. It is-expected that next yedr the college postoffice will be. established as a sub-station of the New London division and that a stu- dent will be appointed postmistress at a salary of $40 or $50 a month. Dur- ing the past year, post office boxes were installed by the college authori- ties and each student and each mem- ber. of the faculty has a box, with a combination lock. The post office maintains regular hours and transacts all the ordinary postal business.
