COAL FUSS NOW
ALTOONA, Pa.. Aug. 25. (Uy Asso
ciated Press). I'nion leaders today
notified their 43.000 miners in the cen
tral Pennsylvania field to return imme
diately to the posts they left five
months aeo. while operators were rush-
jg pIans tnat win mean production of
30.000.OOO tons of coal a year, following
', signing of an agreement last night.
!rtoih sides todav heralded the agree-
ment as a victory. The miners cnsiu-
it a triumph because they retain
the check-off and are to receive tho
same wage scale as that in effect on
March 31. The operators are Jubilant
because they arranged a district agree
ment, a condition which has been
strenuously opposed by John L. Iewis,
president of the United Mine Workers
of America.
The new treaty provides for the con
tinuance until March 31. 1923, of the
wage scale in effect when the men
went on strike.
The final settlement does not en
dorse the establishment of a fact-find
ing commission suggested at the Cleve
land conference. Operators announced
that the agreement stipulates they
need not attend the meetings called for
October 2 and January 3 unless Illinois
producers attend the sessions.
