Pa - Dec. .29 A'RepresentatiTes of the United Mine Workers on the anthracite board of oncllllatlon were here todar. to attend a meeting of the, board and to Notify the operators that their offer to adjust inequalities within the present wage agreement had been acceptfA. Under the , plan adopted at Hazeljton yesterday ( by , the ; general scale omtnittee. 'representing the 125,000 ard coal diggers In Pennsylyania, 4he miners will ask for a meeting with Jhe operators at which they expect to present scores of cases of alleged Inequalities for adjustment. Through these various cases of ineqnaities the miners propose to restore former wage differentials and pbtain additional wage increases for various classes of mine labor. 2 "We feel confident of a satisfactory settlement for the workers," Chairman Thomas Kennedy of the miners' delegation said. .. "Despite any attitude assumed by the operators, the ininere wilt adhere to and fulfill their Agreement signed last September." I While far from pleased with the policy of the scale committee, the leaders

of the radical elements 'of the miners declared that they would abide by the decision and there would be no more "vacation strikes." : Officials of the mine workers generally condemn the policy of the operators and declare they will prepare

for action." March 31, 1922, when the.

present agreement expires. Organization work was already started in the thre anthracite districts to -present a solid front to the operators at the time tthe next wage agreement is to be negotiated. .The anthracite wage negotiations which are now rapidly nearing completion, are the longest in the history of the United Mine Workers' organization. "This is the toughest job we hare erer had," said Philip Murray, international vice-president, who had been representing the international organization since the negotiations began on March 9 last, in New Yor. The concilliation board took up today consideration of a new wage scale for the hoisting engineers, who were taken from the twelve hour shift and put on an eight hour schedule as a result of the award of the coal commission.

Sixteen Expeditions Are Ready to Explore Mysteries of Earth

(By Associated Press.) MCW YORK," Dec. 29. Sixteen exploration expeditions are now In progress or in contemplation 'after four years of inactivity in this line of scientific research due-to the great war. Most of these enterprises have been undertaken or projected '- since the armistice and they recall the fact that Mother Earth still has important biological, zoological geological," ethnological and meteorological problems which are still unsolved. One of the most important of these enterprises is the British Antarctic expedition, headed by Commander John Lachlan Cone, F.-R..G. S., formerly of the British navy. It is financed for $750000, ' Includes five ships, 125 men. several airplanes and extensive wireless ; apparatus. The undertaking is to require five years and its objects are the circumnavigation of the Antarctic Sea, a dash to the South Pole, the locating of new whaling grounds, and the discovery of supposedly rich goldfc silver,, coal and ruby fields. r" Captain Roald Amundsen", who discovered the South Plein19ll, left Nome, Alaska, last August in an attempt to reach the North Pole. His ship, the Maud, had already spent 19 months in the Arctic, north of Asia and Europe, and had successfully made the Northeast passage. He expected the Maud to be locked in the icepack and to drift toward the Pole when the Arctic winter ended. In negotiating his way to Nome he was frequently compelled to blast a

path through the ice. Captain Amund

Large Crowds Welcome Colby in Montevideo MONTEVIDEO. Dec. ' 29. Great throngs lined the streets of this city late yesterday afternoon to welcome Bainbridge Colby, the American secretary of state. American residents of Montevideo declared it was the most enthusiastic "greeting they had given any foreign visitor in many years. . - ' The battleship Florida, on which Mr. Colby came to South America, was met at sea by the cruiser Uruguay, bearing the American minister and representatives of the Uruguayan army and navy. After salutes had been exchanged, Mr. Colby and his party were transferred to the cruiser, which brought them to this city. The crack cavalry, regiment of the Uruguayan army was drawn up at the pier, where Mr. Colby was greeted by Foreign Minister Buero. The drive to the palace where the secretary was received by President Brum was one continuous ovation, there being an almost uninterrupted rendition of the "Star-Spangled Banner," which was played by eight bands stationed at various points. Each band took up the American national hymn as the party drove by.

RIGKENBAGKER STOPS OFF FOR BRIEF TIME

Eddie Rickenbacker, famous Amer-j ican "Ace," stopped off in Richmond; for a short time Tuesday, according j to Walter Davis, who wa3 with-Rick-j enbacker in service during the World j War, and bunked close to him fori about eight months. "He is very angry at his reported! marriage in Florida," said Mr. Davis, i "Eddie is determined to have the im-j poster apprehended." j

RIckertbacker is somewhat non-committal about his alleged marriage, according to Mr. Davis, but he said enough to indicate his feeling in regard to the matter. A man posing as Rickenbacker was lavishly entertained in the best society at Jacksonville, Fla., last week and won a bride. He deserted the girl in Chicago after having been married a week. Warrants charging him with embezzlement of several hundred dollars, in connection with his adventure, are In the hands of the police.

"Eddie is the same old boy whom I j knew while serving in France. With i many fellows the honors received !

woald have gone to their heads, but not so with him."

D'ANNUNZIO

(Continued from Pajre One) ., , June 19. 1919, and It was succeeded by the moderate Nittl cabinet, whose selection exasperated the Italian Nationalists and was the forerunner of the D'Annunzio coup d'etat the following September. Flume, at the time of the entry of the D'Annunzio forces, was under the military control of General Pittaluga of the Italian army. The general had led a strong detachment to the outskirts of the city to intercept the invaders who had armored automobiles and were armed with machine-guns. D'Annunzio met him with the salutation: "I understand you would Are upon your brethren? (Bearing his breast.) Fire upon me!" At this, it was reported, Pittaluga embraced D'Annunzio and the soldiers on both sides set up the cry:: "Viva Flume! Viva D'Annunzio!" The D'Annunzio troops then entered the city. The 15 months that 'have elapsed since the poet-warrior set himself up as "a dictator" have been filled with tragic as well as opera bouffe events. Clashes between the Italians and Jugoslavs were frequent. D'Annunzio proclaimed the annexation of Flume to Italy even while that country was appealing to the Allied powers to wrest

the city from him.. Riots, strikes and fires were numerous and the United States cruisers Olympia and Pittsburgh were sent to the Adriatic to protect American interests. The Jugoslavs cut off D'Annunzio's food supply nd Italian warships blockaded Flume from the sea. City On Scant Rations. D'Annunzio put the city on scant rations and continued to issue defiant manifestos and declare he would "never leave Flume alive." Many Italian sailors and soldiers joined his forces until, at one time, he was reported to have an army of more than 100,000 men. He occupied several other places In the disputed region, including Sussak, Risniak, Durazzo, Trau, Castua and Zara and patrolled the Dalmatian coast with his warships. On January 1, 1920, when the supreme allied council disbanded in Paris the Adriatic question was still unsettled. Last March Italy strengthened the blockade, whereupon D'Annunzio proclaimed Fiume "a free and

independent state."- In announcing this to the allied powers he said the action did not mean Flume's "renunciation" of Italy. He also summoned a constituent assembly to meet, an order that precipitated the resignation of the Fiume national council and left D'Annunzio as chief of state, foreign minister and commander of the army. Diplomatic Efforts On Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts were in progress between Italy and Jugoslavia to compose their differences.

These led to the parley between dele-i gates representing both nations ati Rapallo early in November. 1920, and! a settlement of the long vexing Adrl-j atic question on the following basis: , 1, The Istrian frontier to be controlled by the Jugo-Slavs; 2, Fiume to be independent, with territorial contiguity, to Italy; 3 Zara to be under Italian suzerainty; 4, islands of Cherso, Lussin and Unie to.be granted to Italy.' The treity was signed by the envoys i of both nations on November 10. It: was later approved by the foreign re-j lations committee of the Italian cham

ber of deputies. D'Annunzio was admonished to accept its terms. " He replied that to do. so would be "suicide" for Italy.' Jugo-Slavia thereupon appealed to Italy . to oust D'Annunzio from Fiume. and Italian regular troops then surrounded the city. On Dec. 1 D'Annunzio declared a state of war with Italy and there was much war-like activity in Fiume.
