Record Of Local Minister And Wife
Rev. W. F. Thomas, retired clergyman, who served as pas¬ tor of Welsh Baptist churches at Parsons and Pittston, and Mrs. Thomas, celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary yesterday at their home, 1 7 Swallow street, Pittston. It was a joyous oc¬ casion for the couple when, surrounded by their children, they received more than one hundred and fifty guests. During the day they were tendered many gifts of gold and flowers, in addi¬ tion to many congratulatory messages.
Between the hours of 2 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon and 7 and 9 o'clock in the evening. Reverend and Mrs. Thomas met their intimate friends and renewed acquaintances with former members of the congregation, in the receiving line besides the couple were their six children: Mrs. Arthur Kembel, Mrs. John Pero, Mrs. Mysanwy Lintern, Rev. Lorenzo Thomas, pastor of, the Baptist Church at Wyoming, who was recently elected to the State legislature; Mrs. Edward Davis and W. Judson Thomas.
At luncheon more than one hundred friends were enter¬ tained. The table contained a mound of pink roses arranged in the center. Mrs. Lorenzo Thomas and Mrs. W. Judson Thomas poured. Tlie refreshments were served by three grand-daugh¬ ters, Mrs. E. F. Swanson, Mrs. Adeline Kembel and Mrs. Boris Lintern.
Reverend and Mrs. Thomas were married in Wales. The latter's maiden name was Ann Kelly. Tliey came to the United States in 1 864. They first made their residence at St. Claire. It was after coming to Pennsylvania that Reverend Thomas took up the study of theology, graduating from Bucknell University. His first charge was in Mahanoy City. Later he became pastor of the Welsh Baptist Church at Parsons, where he remained for some years.
His most important assignment was the Welsh Baptist Church in Pittston, where he was pastor for a quarter century. Advancing age contributed to his retirement from active service two .years ago.

Xow York, Dec. 11.—All classes of mon throughout the world mnst work with might and main to restore that which has been lost by the destructivo- noss of the war or this world "will sink to a lower lovol of civilization than we have beon acctistomed to enjoy," Charlos M. .Schwab declared in an address at tho annual dinner of the Pennsylvania Society of New Tork to¬ night.
Schwab further declared that:
The more severe the present busi¬ ness dop;e..:sion is. the sooner it will be over. If the cost of living is re¬ duced tho laborer cnn maintain his present standard of living even though his wages are loss.
There is no place In America today for the loafer.
Tho   laborer   should   recelvp   his   full share of wealth th.at he produces.
I'^fficient production is the only guar¬ antee of employment and higher wagea.
The government must sot an ex¬ ample in economy and 'thrift. Upper¬ most in the minds of .Americans to¬ day in the (luestion: "What is the meaning of the existing slump In busi¬ ness and what of the fnture", Schwab said: "The e.xisting moment is full of difficulties and complexities. Uut I want to go on record here as saying that nothing could be healthier for -American business than the very eon- dltion which we arc passing, it had to come, only wish it had come sooner. The severer the storm the quicker it will be over and the sooner we can emerge Into clear weather.
"The result of this experience through which we have passed is that our costs have been Inflated and wo have had In America both our busi¬ ness institutions and American indi¬ viduals generally Indulging in waste¬ ful and e.xtravagant methods. The supreme virtue of the existing sltu.a- tlon Is that it is compelling every busi¬ ness man, in fact every individual in .America, to examine thoroughly his costs of doing business and his costs of living.
Work and Save
"The great need of the world today i.<« to work hard and save. This applies not alone to the laboring man, but to the man of means."
The man who fails to do his part de¬ serves no place among honorable men, any more than tho slacker of wartime did. Schwab said.
"The laboring man is entitled to hla full share for the contribution he makes to the value of an article," Schwab de¬ clared. "The laboring man should be taken Into the full confidence of his emplovors.

Locals Decide Upon an Ul¬ timatum to Officials
MEDIATOR ARRIVES
Threats of a strike that will throw thousands of miners out of work unless certain demands are granted by two coal companies beforo Wednesday night, wore made last night by leaders of the insurgent element In the United Mine Workers following a meeting held yesterday afternoon in Central Labor Union hall at Scranton. The companies Involved are the Pennsyl¬ vania Coal Company operating in the Pittston district, and the Deleware, Lackawanna & Western Coal Com¬ pany with collieries stretched through¬ out Luzerne and Lackawanna counties.
The Pennsylvania Company men de¬ mand that by Wednesday all welgh- masters employed by the comp.any must be discharged because of an al¬ leged practice that has resulted in a reduced earning power for the men. The miners of the Lackawanna Com¬ pany joined In the strike threats be¬ cause some of them claim that la¬ borers In the mines aro not receiving the full benefit of the 17 per cent, in¬ crease allowod by President Wilson's federal coal  commission.
Several hundred miners attended the mooting in Scranton yesterday after¬ noon. They represented the insurgent element and had responded to .i call issued by Enoch Williams of Taylor, recognized leader, and Rinaldo Cap- pelini, the leader of the Pittston men in paet strikes. That interest in the meeting ran at a high level was In¬ dicated by the fact that some of the delegates were unable to gain admis¬ sion to the hall.
Williams, Cappellni and others made some speeches in which the grievances \ of the men were aired.    Speakers who \ presented the case of the Pennsylvania Coal Company men declared  that  the men engaged in the mines at Pittston' and   In   surrounding   towns   have   re-1 ceived wages representing an increase of only from 8 to 14 per cent. Instead | of the 17 per cent granted by the com¬ mission.    They claimed that the pres¬ once of objectionable welghmasters at tho various collieries were responsible for the cut.
The men who presented the Dela¬ ware, Lackawanna & Western Coal i Company's raso declared that in some of the mines of that company laborers, are the victims of discrimination. The alleged discriminatioiT has been the cause of making this class of mine workers the poorest paid, they said.
Delegates in attendance represent¬ ing both companies showed their sym¬ pathy by voting to give the two cor¬ porations until Wednesday to remedy conditions. It was said that If an Im- provemor.t is not made by that time there will be a strike. It was learned last night that Andrew Steele of Missouri, an investigator employed by the United Mine Workers, arrive! in Pittston yesterday to conduct a probe ^nto working conditions among the Pennsylvania men. His presence in Wyoming Valley together with a promi.se hy the miners' organization to have ol)jeciionable conditions reme¬ died, may re.sult In a postponement or absolute cancellation of the strike order.
Chica.go, Dec. 11—The future of American export trade is assured. This view was shared tonight hy six hundred of the financiers, industrial chieftains and .agricultur.al leaders of the United Stiites, who brought into boing a $100,000,000 corporation which will extend long time credits to foreign countries staggering under the burden of paralyzed industrialism and helpless to buy needed r.aw materials because of unfavorable exchange rates.
The formation of this corporation— the Foreign Trade Financing Corpora¬ tion—authorized under the Edge Act, was accomplished when leading bank¬ ers, mooting hero, decided that unless some such action was taken, not only Europe would face possible bankruptcy, but American domestic trade would suf¬ fer and poriod of severe industrial de- i pression would be scene In the imme¬ diate future.
Resolutions calling for the immediate formation of this corporation were unanimously adopted. A committee of thirty banking, business and farm lead¬ ers was named as a permanent com¬ mittee on organization. This commit¬ tee immediately began the work ofj floating the corporation. A $100,000! subscription to meet the expenses ofi tho organization was snapped up In I five minutes. j
Within a fow weeks at the outside, i stock of this corporation will be offer- j ed to the public, it was stated. While the entire sum could be underwritten by great financial interests, they be¬ lieved, the conferenco took the stand that industry, labor and the public should be asked to purchase tho stock to mako the corporation an all-Amei;- tan proj' : i.
The corporation will extend long time credits not only to allied powers but to all countries of stable government and to Germany as soon as peace is declar¬ ed, it was asserted by the loading speakers.
As the Edge Act provides this cor¬ poration were jubilant in expressing soon as 25 per cent ol the capital Is paid in, the business of getting under way can commence as soon as $L'r,,000,- 000 i.s subscribed.
Billion Dollar Business. With the privilege of doing a billion dollar busine.ss—ten times the capital stock, lis permitted by the E<lge .Act— this will be tho greatest financial cor¬ poration In the country, if worked out as planned. Its creators point to the fact that it was formed "in the open" without any "inside group," without founders, stock or bonus shares. They declare that It is the fir.st time in Am¬ erican history that a great corporation was formed at a public conference and that its underwriting is to be done without nny discount commissions or private profits.
John McHugh, New York City, ac¬ cepted the chairmanship of tho board of directors only on the stipulation that no compensation be attached to the position.
Representatives of great middle vve.st manufacturers pledged to underwrite and to buy great blocks. Edwar I U. Hurley, on behalf of tho Illinois .Manu¬ facturers Association, pledged $."iOU,0(iy.
Union labor will be asked to sub¬ scribe largely as the founders fool that the working man will share in the benefits.

All parties to formation of tl;s cor poration were jubilant in expressing their gratification over the rapid man¬ ner in which the project was .brout;ht from a glittering possibility to a fast and hard fact.
"This is the most momentous and most progressive step over lakeii by Americun busiiies.sineii to insure the future of our Industrial iifo", said Cliarles U.

Belief that the negotiations twoen tho United Mine Workers tho^ operators will result In a new an¬ thracite wage scale being drawn up within the next ten daya, was ex¬ pressed yesterday when the full scale committee In session at Hazleton re¬ ceived tho report of its sub-scale com¬ mittee on progress made in the nego¬ tiations up tn the present time.
The meeting adjourned without the full committee giving any further In- .siructions to the sub-hoa'd rewirding the futiirr- barii'ain!",;; with th.,- coal eompanies. It was a!^r.<d to iiermit the negotiations, whicii will likely be resumed In Philadelphia by Wednes¬ day or Thursday, to continue along tho same course that has marked, the con¬ ferences up to date.
Immediately after the scale com¬ mittee had adjourned, the trl-dlstrlct board composed of tho executive bodies of each of thc three anthracite dis¬ tricts held a meeting. It was declar¬ ed at the close of the session that con¬ fidential matters pertaining to inter¬ nal affairs were the only things con¬ sidered.
Johti Colling of Nanticoko. president of District No. 1, stated last night upon his return from the two meetings at Hazleton, that the full scale board was Informed that the representativt s of the oi>erators had gone into the Washing¬ ton and I'hiladelphia meetings with¬ out any direct authority to enter a wage agreement. The roprosentativs of the company are expected to meet in session during the next two days in either PhiladoUihia. or New York City and map out a definite program.
When the conrorence is resumed In Philadelphia during the week, it is be¬ lieved that the operators will present a formal plan incorporating future work¬ ing condijions. After this plan is sub¬ mitted, leaders of the miners declare, the conf<Mence will not last long. It Is also believed by them that both sides understand e.ach othor thoroughly enough to eliminate all future haggling over terms.

LONDON REPORTS UNCONFIRMED
London,     Dec.     11.—An     Exchange tinoplo,   ho   told   the   reporters   of   a
Telegraph dispatch from Constanti¬ nople declared today that England has already resumed trade with soviet Russia. According to the dispatch the British naval base here has authorized merchant ships to go to Russian ports and two are now enroute to Odessa.
New York, Dec. 11.—"It meana peace In Europe for the first time In six years."  declared Washington D.  Van-
signiHcant incident tluat occurred In Ijondon just before he sailed for New York.
"A representative of the Dally Mall callod me up and .said it understood I had been in conference with Lloyd George," he said. "I told them I had not." After further conversation he said: "There is no use camouflaging. You   know  and   we   know  and   every-
derlip   tonight   when   informed   of   a | body else  knows  that  the  trade  rela- London   report   that   England   already (tlone agreement has been signed with
Russia.
"This same information came to me In several other ways, but I never could get any of the British officials with whom I talked to admit It."
Vanderlip said ho w.as officially In¬ formed in England that every step in the negotiations between the British and Russians, over resumption of trade relations, was reported to Wash¬ ington, through Ambassador Davis, but that Downing street never even received an acknowledgement.
Billions In Orders.
Tho three billion order for gooda which Vanderlip claimed to have sign¬ ed includes:
Fifty thousand tons of leather, 125,- 000 tons of hemp and flax goods, 500,- 000,000 cans of condensed milk; 508,- 000,000 cans of meat; .'lOO 000 tons of losin; 20,000 tons of chemicals; 160,- 000 tons of tanning materials; 60,000 tons of dyes; 10,000 tons of tool steel; i.BOO pieces of mining and railway machinery; 50,000 typewriters; 270.000 tons of cotton;  6,000,000 tons of cojil;
had    resumed    trade    relations    with soviet Russia.
Tho American mining engineer who returned from Russia today with a contract for oil, coal and fisheries con¬ cessions—in a territory as big as Cali¬ fornia In one pocket and a contract for the purchase of three billion dol. lar.s' worth of American goods within three years. In the other, beamed with delight.
You can't kick a man in the face while you are trading with him," Van¬ derlip continued. "If the report is true it moans we have forced England's hand, and a little group of American businessmen have dono what the League of Nations failod to do."
Vanderlip declared that England's action would start an avalanche and that all other European nations would quickly follow her lead.
"Of course, thi.^ would give the British the inside track and every d.iy lost means groat sums to American manufacturers, laborers and all classes," he said. "The fact that the first   British   ships   sailed   for   Odessa
would indicate that England first con-( 5.000 locomotives;   50,000 box cars;  2,-
templated opening up the vast stores of oil, grains and furs which clear through that port. Why, there are $50,000,000 worth of furs alone back of that  region.
Unitgd States Favored.
"The United States cannot afford to wait until March 4 to assume trade relations with Russia. This Is the one country that the Soviets really want to deal with. But if they can't take up commercial Intercourse with us again, they naturally havo got to turn to Ru- rope. Premier Lenin made it emphatic to me thnt Russia la not going to come begging to America's doorstep."
While pointing to tho fact that the cable report was unconfirmed and came In a round-about way from  Constan-
000,000 tona of r.ails; 2,100 tractors; 1,000,000 agricultural machines; 2,000 linotypes; 10,000 motor trucks and cars; 50.000 electric motors and dyna¬ mos; 2,000,000 tooLs; 100 ocean steam¬ ships; 2,000 river steamers; 1,000 air¬ planes; 5,000 electric locomotives; 5,- 000 electric locomotives 5,000 street cars; 50,000 tons of axles and cars; 30,- 000 sets of telegraph and telephone ap¬ paratus; 300,000 tons of fine metals and 75,000 tons of rubber.
Russl.a now haa rond.v sulTlcient raw materials Including oil, furs, gold, plati¬ num, flax, timber pulpwood, supple¬ mented by her gold reserve, to pay for ths first years supplies, Vanderlip said and would have no difficulty In moot¬ ing her obligations for the second and third years shipments.
