Little Hope of Decision Until

l!y the Associated Press
New YorU, March 11. The siibiom
mittee of operators and miners ap
pointed to negotiate a. new wage agree
ment for the anthracite coal miners held
its first conference here today.
Neither miners nor operators expect
a decision for several weeks, ns no
definite agreement will be reached until
the bituminous coal commission hands
down its nwnrd in the case of the soft
coal miners. Report from tho com
mission, which is sitting in Washing
ton, have failed to disclose wbut prog
ress is being made.
Mine workers hope for an early de
cision from the soft coal commission
so ns to avoid the possibility'ot n sus
pension of mining in both hard and soft
coal fields. Asked when he expected the
bituminous commission to make its
award, John I. Lewis, international
president of tho United Mines Workers,
said : .
"It is impossible for me to forecast
the date of n possible decision. I am
concerned that the commission has not

W. VA. IS REAL VICTORY
The case of Ohio is the oniy sunnuuuB
' block In the way ot suffrage ratification
so far as local fiuffrngists can sec.
nntlflcntlou In West Virginia yester
day wns n real victory after several
dnys of anxiety nnd the two remaining
states virtually assure the women of
the country that the nmendment will
pnss.
Washington already has suffrage and
it Is believed that ratification Is a mere
t in.. ,i,,.f ptnte nnd DclCWOrC.
while not absolutely certain, Is sold
to have a majority of Its assembly lnfn'
favor of a woman bub oi.. ,
i "The Ohio tangte Is importnnt, says
Miss Mary Inghnm, state chairman of
, the National WoDian'p Party, "If Ohio
1 ran refer the prohibition amendment to
the people it chu nIo refer the suf
frage amendment. The Supreme Court
1 must decide if tbls is possible. "
"The referendum would be contrnrj
I,. our constitution," according to Mrs.
(leorge A. Piersol, of tho Philadelphia
Conntv Pennsylvania Lcngue of women
I Citizens. "I don't believe niiv fair
minded judge could make a decision so
opposed to the essence ot the consti
tution." , ,. '. .
In the uienutlme. however, the Legis
latures of Vermont nnd Connecticut are
, renclv to ratify provided their untl
suffriige. iintI-f.pccinl-HCsslon governors
.can be persuaded of the iniportiincc of
I immediate ratification. Suffrage forces
lure at work In both states.
A bitter fight between ratification nnd
anti-ratification forces had been car-
i rled on in West Virginia for days. A.
R. Montgomery, a bcnnior w "i
i liccd his sent by moving Into Illinois.
was brought back by the anti-suffragists
and untl-rntilleatlon party.
A report on his eligibility by the
elections committee was unfavorable
.and Montgomery wns unseated, ben-
ntor IHoch nrrlvcd from California and
broke the deadlock.
The vote taken by the Sennte resulted
i In fifteen for and fourteen ngalnst the
ratification of the resolution of the
House of Delegates. West Virginia is
the thirty-fourth suffrage state..
