COAL MEN GET $1.50 INCREASE; BACK AT WORK Announcement of Agreement Follows All-Day Conference of Factions. ALL SEEM SATISFIED lly Starr Correspondent. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. 25. Miners in the Indiana competitive bituminous coal field today were returning .to work after five days of idleness. K The day men returned to work fol■>wing an all-day conference yesterday •between the wage scale committee of the operators and the scale committee of the United Mine Workers of the eleventh district. '-v. The following agreement, which was signed late yesterday between the operators and the officials of the miners, follows: “1. That the day wages now being paid to inside men and boys be Increased 25 per cent. , •*2.* That all monthly and outside day men’s wages be increased $1.50 per day. “3. That any extra time paid day men and monthly jpen. directly or indirectly, for any reason shall continue to be paid. •‘4. That this revised schedule of wages shall be effective as of Aug. 16.” This agreement ends the controversy existing between the day men and the operators and which practically paralysed the production of coal in this state. President Edward Stewart of the Eleventh district miners sent the following telegram to all locals, which was read this morning to the miners before they boarded the mine twins today: “To the officers and members of all local unions of District 11 of the United Mine Workers of America: Joint .scale committee has agTeed on 25 per cent increase for all inside day labor on present wages received and 51.56 per day for all outside day labor and monthly men. effective of Aug. 16. Signed, Ed Stewart, W. H. Rainey and William Mitch.” AGREEMENT ENDS CONTROVERSY. Both President Stewart of the miners and Phil Penna. secretary of the Bituminous Coal Operators' association, •tated that this agreement ends the controversy. Miners who waited for hours in the vicinity of the office occupied by the Joint conference committee yesterday stated that they were satisfied with the agreement and all mines would be la operation in the state within the next twelve hours. This agreement gives the outside men $7.50 a day instead of $6 and the inside men get a 25 per cent increase on a *5.35 basis. The concession of the operators that the agreement shall date from Aug. 16 was a miners’ victory. It was discussion on that concession which prevented the agreement being reached until nearly 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Every effort will be made now to get a sufficient car supply to handle th° output of coal In an effort to make up for Jest time. •Tne car shortage, it Is feared, might prove a hinderanee to the coa! output reaching normal within the next few days. / ILLINOIS MEN RECEIVE SAME. understood the Illinois day men were given same increase as the Indiana d#y men. The diggers welcomed the ending of the enforced Idleness. Dinner palls were hauled out again and lamps flickered in the eariy rooming darkness, as the mine trains left Haute for the five big centers of coal production in this district. President Stewart of the priners feels that the contract will be kept to the letter by the miners. Internaional President I-evrlp of Indianapolis was informed today that a settlement had been reached and that Indiana was agalD producing state. Vice President Rainey of the miners stated to a Times representative last Friday that Wednesday of this week would see the miners back at work. Mr. Penna expressed himself as satisfied with the settlement.

EUROPE AGAIN IS SWAYING ON BRINK OF WAR Next 48 Hours Expected to Dccide Future Allied Action. DECISION UP TO SOVIET LONDON, Aug. 5.5. —Whether most of Europe again will be involved in war was expected today to be decided within for-ty-eight hours. Russia has until Friday evening to reply to the Anglo-Itallan note demanding modification of her peace terms to Poland. Premier Lloyd kieorge has informed the Bolsheviki, through Arthur Balfour, lord president of the council, that unless a satisfactory reply is forthcoming within the time limit, Great'Britain will change its policy toward Russia. Committed to the same action is Italy, France and possibly Belgium. In the event of a resumption of hostilities on a* major Beale, the Germans may become Involved, since the sentiment of the German populations bordering on Poland is frankly pro-Russian. It was predicted in well informed circles this afternoon that the Poles and Russians wotfld abandon the extreme terms they were trying to lnforee on each other and adopt a more moderate tone. The reds, it was reported, already had given up fheir demand for creation of a proletariat militia in Poland, but this was unconfirmed. It was reported also that the armistice conference at Minsk might be transferred to Warsaw. Officials of past Prussia are reported to have asked for volunteers to aid the reds and, according to some advices, no steps have been taken to interne the thousands of Russians who fled Into East Prussia to escape capture.

Karoen(** and Krassln, have already apptled for their passports and expect to leave London on Friday in the 1 event their government fails to accede to the entente’s demand-*.

At the same time steps would be taken to brush aside the opposition of German "Tuirbor workers In Danzig and throw that port open to landing of munition*.
