coLLlERIEs CLOSE DOWN.
Restriction of Product Is to Prevent
 Break In Prices.

Wlllesbarre, Pa, September 24.- Tss erder for a restriction of tho an- thracite coal output has affected near ly all the collieries in this region. To- day orders were issued by the Lehigh Valley Coal company to close down it's twenty collieries on Saturday. The Susquehanna Coal company has posted notices at its eight collieries that the mines would be worked only five hours Q day until further orders. It is sairl Sthat The Delaware, Laekaw anna and} Western company will place it's coi- lieries on three-quarter time. The Reading Coal company will also re- strict the output by shutting down some of it's collieries for repairs.
 More than 43,000,0O0 tons of coal have been mined since January l. This is several million tons more than was ever produced for like period in the history Of the mining industry. The present glut in the market and the efforts to prevent a break in the price is the cause of the restriction.

NEWARK CITIZENS
 WILLHAYE TO WALK
STRIKE HAS STREET CAR SYSTEM COMPLETELY TIED UP, AND IT IS SAID OTHER CONCERNS ARE ALSO THREATENED.

Newark September 24-Not a car is running except few cars that are under police guard. The street car men are on strike, and 1t is thought that by tomor- row the strike will have extended to the powerhouses, including those that supply the lighting circuits. The gas house em- ployes are also said to be ready to go out and complete the tie-up. The New ark trolley men declare the strike will be general all through Essex. Hudson, Passae and Union counties before noon tomorrow
 The men have demanded 22 cents an hour, the abolition of the split run" sys- tenn and recognition of the union
 President McCarter of the public Service corporation, which controls most of the trolley lines, had practically promised that the company would accede to the men s demands, but it is understood tonight that there has beeen objection to this on the part of some of the directors.
 The strike was rapidly progressing. In accord with the general understanding the trolley cars began to run into the barns at sundown. The motormen abandoned them and the conductors turned in their re- ports and walked away.
 The strike was unlocked for because the national officers of the Trolley Carmen s association have not authorized the strike.
 The chief of police has ordered out all the reserves.

JEWISH CONGRESS
 COULD SETTLE IT
A PROMINENT RABBI SUGGESTS THAT LEADING JEWS FROM ALL
 COUNTRIES MEET AND CON- SIDER THE RUSSIAN QUESTION.

Cincinnati, O., September 24.-Rev. Da- vid Philipson, rabbi of the Mound Street temple in this city, advocates the forma- ton of Jewish world congress as the only means Q" settling the Jewish question in Rusia. Referring to the recent out rages at Gomel, he said:
 "The uprising of the American people after the Kishineff horror was one of the most remarkable bursts of spontaneous indignation and sympathy that the world has ever seen.
 '"The reception by the Russian govern- ment of the message of our state de- partment in protest against the outrage, served notice that Russia would brook no interference on the part of the outsiders in what she called her internal affairs Hence I do not think that if even if the acts of the abetting of the rioters by the police and military of Gomel are true, any action is likely on the part of our govern- ment, unless there should be American citizens among those killed or injured. This new anti-Jewish outbreak in Russia, proves again how precarious the situation is there.
 Since Russia resents all outside inter- vention. the Russian Jewish problem must be solved by and in Russia itself. It seems to me that to meet the Jewish problem in the various countries of east ern Europe. the Jews themselves all over the world must join in the formation of a Jewish world congress that shall treat with such governments as Russia, Rou- mania, Morocco and the like, wherever the Jews are subjected to barbarous treatment. Until the Russian Jewish problem Is settled in Russia itself and by the Russian government in a humane and civilized manner. I fear that these outbreaks will be periodical, and the best agencies to accomplish this solution will be such an international Jewish organi- zation, backed by the sympathy and the support of the civilized governments of the world"

not in the interest of organized labor, but political move, which, if carried out, will disrupt or lower organizations and injure the members, and if the lead CTS attempt any such action the major ity of the members of all organizations, without regard to their political opinions, should refuse to recognize and repudiate such leaders and their action.
 Resolved, That such action as Is con templated against President Roosevelt is one of the many errors and mistakes made by organized labor, as they seem inclined to ignore the rights of others, create strikes and make demands that are unreasonable; and be it further
 Resolved, That as Senator Hanna of Ohio is said to be a great friend of or ganized labor, and as he is also consid- cred a loyal supporter and sincere friend of President Roosevelt we therefore sug- gest to both sides of the present contro- versy existing in the printing office that they refer the dispute to Senator Hanna for Q decision"
