V THE CELINA DEMOCRAT REACH AGREEMENT i Oil WAGE SCALE Operators Grant Mine Workers An Increase of Wages, INCLUDE IT IN SELLING PRICE Operator Expecting an Inc'ease of Fifty Cents a Ton In the Prices Fixed For Coal at the Mines In a Recent Order by President Wilson Miners Get Incresse of Tsn Cents a Ton and Laborers $1.bO. Washington, Oct. 8. Ooal operators and miners of the central competitive field, meeting; here to discuss a read Justment of wage scales, reached i full agreement as to the amount of In creases to be riven. They will dis cuss further the length of time the new contract will run. Pick and machine miners, who de manded 15 cents a ton Increase In pay, will get 10 cents, and unskilled labor. which sought a wage raUe oc $1.90 i day, will get $1.60. Yardage and dea work will be paid for on a basis of a ftralght 20 per cent Increase. The wage increases were granted by the operators contingent on their absorption in higher coal prices, which they expect the fuel adminis tration to give them on presentation next week of their cost of production figures. The miners are seeking a con tract for two years, but the operators Insist on a provision for its tennina tlon 60 days after the end of the war Provisions will be Inserted In the contract to prevent either side from breaking it for any cause. This was demanded by the operators because the miners In asking the present In- creases are ignoring a contract signed last April. At the beginning of the conference a week ago the miners demanded Z cents a ton increase In pick and ma chine mining; a 20 per cent Increase In pay for yardage and dead work and a flat increase of $1.90 a day for day labor. The operators refused to meet the demands and offered 5 cents for pick and machine mining; a 20 per cent and lower increase for yardage and $1 raise for day labor. The final scale adopted came as a counter pro posal from the miners. Coal mine wage scales throughout the country are based on the central field scale, and if the agreement is ratified, wags will be raised accord ingly In other districts. Operators of the central field are asking the fuel administration for increases of about SO cents a ton in the prices fixed for coal at the mines In a recent order by President Wilson. Many mines, they Insist, will be forced to shut down un less prices are revised. Already Dr. Garfield, the fuel administrator, has granted Increases in outlying dis tricts, where for the most part cool veins are thin, making the cost of operation higher.

Business men of America only 11 years ago begun to realize the need of making her more of a nutlonul figure and organized the Nutlonul Dairy show, which bus developed Into one of the "wonders of the world." The people of Ohio, through their legislative body, let the world know thut they fully appreciated her lm portance by appropriating $250,000 for the erection at Columbus of a modern coliseum where her fine points will be exhibited. And through the appropriation, the Ohloana brought to their capital the 1017 National Dairy show, which will be held at the state fair grounds, one of the best equipped fair grounds In America, October 18 to 27, under the auspices of the National Dairy asso ciation. In addition to the coliseum, which Is located on the fair grounds, all other structures on the grounds have been turned over to the dairy show as sociation, thus assuring the people of the country thut they will see an un precedented dlspluy of cattle, horses, dairy products, machinery, automo biles, feed and forage and food and agricultural demonstrations under fa vorable conditions. Prepared for Visitors. Last year the show was held at Springfield, Mass., and the attendance during the 10 days was 350,000. Co lumbus would not be surprised If half million people attended the 1017 show. Centrally located In the Mid dle West, the city will attract thou sands from the West and thousands from the Eust. Reservations for ac commodations from every state In the Union have already been made. Columbus is prepared. The city Is as well supplied with hotels as any other city of Its size In the country. In addition, It has hundreds of well regulated lodging houses where visit ors will find excellent quarters. And 8,000 homes In the residence districts will be thrown open for the visitors' use. Arrangements to care for the hotel overflow have been made by the Dnlry Show committee of the Colum bus Chamber of Commerce, headed by Mayor George J. Karb. The state house grounds In the cen ter of the city will be dotted with In formation bureaus, guide stations and checking places. Boy Scouts will be on duty to act as guides and messen gers. Ample provision has been made for automobile space and parking fa cilities, for the show Is expected to bring 15,000 to 20,000 automobiles Into the city almost dally. 2,000 Cattle Coming. A brief talk with W. E. Skinner, manager of the show, Is all thut Is necessary to give any one an Idea of the Immensity of the exposition. More than 125,000 square feet of space has already been purchased by exhibitors. A herd of 2,000 cuttle, representing the best in America and Europe, will till the commodious cuttle barns on the state fair grounds. Millions of dollars' worth of dairy and farm machinery will be on exhibition. Great mass meetings, attended by some of the big gest men In America, will be held dur ing the 10 duys. These are some of the facts Mr. Skinner humls out from his wonderful store of knowledge. Of the new coliseum, Mr. Skinner has this to say: "It Is superior to Madison Square Garden, New York and better appointed than the Coll seum at Chicago." The mammoth structure will be used for stock Judg ing purposes and for the Horse Fair to be held In connection with the dairy show. Weekly Review of the War p$de"! to Greet Despite furious attacks delivered by the Germans, the British are sti'l In possession of positions captured la the drive last week In the Ypres sec tion of Flanders. English, Scotch and Canadian troops participated In the drive and gains were scored on a sis mile front, enemy lines being pane trated to a depth W two-thirds of a mile. The most significant gain of the British was near Zonnebeke, to within a few hundred yards of the western outskirts of which village they penetrated, placing them about six miles from the railway mnnU-g from Oster.d through noulers and Roubalx to Lille. The cutting of this line would seriously affect the trans port of the Germans from their naval bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge to the south. On other sectors of the western front, except In Champagne and near Verdun, there were no conflicts of great Importance. In Champagne and In the Verdun region the Germans delivered several heavy attacks, which were put down by. the French. Italians made an Important gain In the Monte San Cabrlelle region north east of Gorlzla. A surprise attack gave the Italians a line rectified to their advantage between Sella Dl Dot and the northern slopes of Monte Sau Cabrlelle. Artillery engagements featured the week bn other fronts. How heavy the fighting was on the British front In Flar.ders and north m France during September, despite the absence of attacks on a huge scale until Its closing days, Is Indicat ed by the figures of British casualties reported during the month, showing total of 104.68, of whloh the killed comprised 18.938.
