J. Golden, president of District No. 9. IOWA SENATOR APPROVES SOVIET To Recognize Government PLAN Miners Agree to Stipulate Wage Increase; Go Back to Jobs HARRISBURG, Sept. 7.—Backing down from their original position the United Mine Workers of America this afternoon accepted the "peace program of Governor Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania, ending the strike of 155,000 anthracite miners. The union agreed to accept a ten per cent wage increase for all men in the industry, abandon their demand for the "check-off" and closed shop, and to enter into immediate negotiations with the operators with a view of signing a new wage and working contract. The first act of the mine union officials, headed by John L. Lewis, international president, will be to order the miners, who have been on strike since September 1, back to the jobs. This will take place in two to four days. HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 7.—The coal showdown comes today. This afternoon Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania will meet the anthracite operators and miners in joint conference to determine whether the nation is to witness another long and disastrous coal strike or whether the 155,000 miners are to return to their collieries. The Conference will "make or break" on the checkoff issue. Full recognition of the union, differently interpreted by both sides, has again become the dominating factor. This statement comes directly from miners' headquarters: "Under duress the operators have accepted without qualification, the four points of settlement as offered by Governor Pinchot—a settlement which to quote an operator spokesman, will add $32,500,000 to the nations domestic coal bill, or a minimum increase of $80 a ton to the public."

Brookhart, in a statement to be published this afternoon in the Iowa Legiennaire, official publication of the Iowa department of the American Legion, which has been criticizing Brookhart's statement in defending Russia's present officialdom. "As matters now stand, there are three alternatives in Russia", Brookhart said. "The present government, exarism, or chaos. Nobody wants chaos. Soviet government is many times better than exarism which we recognized for 100 years. It is also many times better than the unspoakeable Turk with his long history of Christian murders, but whose government we have always recognized and do now." In his brief favoring the recognition of the Soviet, Brookhart said that one argument in favor of Russian recognition is that it would settle the world unrest and restore world prosperity. The legion at its recent state convention heard Judge K. M. Landis denounce the soviet and anyone espousing its cause. "In conclusion my advice to the American Legion is, if you want to take action on Russia, first find out the facts," Brookhart continued. Brookhart cited details of his Russian trip to prove his assertions that Russia is now in a stable condition. Let us print your kodak pictures. Gibson's Drug Storea, 12 hour service.
