MINERS QUIT WORK
WAR IS ON FOR INCREASE IN
WAGES AND SHUT DOWN MAY
LAST FOR MONTHS.
Three Hundred Thousand Coal Dig
gers Refuse to Work Until Settle
ment of New Wage Scale, Which
May Soon BE Effected.

dianapolis.-Three hundred thou
sand organized miners of the bitumi-
nous coal fields of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kan
sas, Oklahoma and Arkanas have quit
work, the last shift going on duty
Thursday night, pending settlement of
a new wage scale.
Officers of the United Mine Work
ers of North America declared the
walkout not strike, but merely sus-
pension of work because no wage
scale has been made to replace the
old scale, which expired with March.
The miners demand an increase of
pay, in some instances of cents a
ton and in other instances more. with
certain change in working conditions.
Confidence was expressed by the
operators that there would be no gen
eral coal famine, large supplies of
fuel having been stored in anticipa-
ton of the walkout.
While the miners predict the sus-
pension will be short by prompt
signing of wage scales, some of the
operators maintain the mines may be
kept closed for a month or longer.
The first settlement came in an an
nouncement from Brazil. Ind. the cen
ter of the Indiana block coal field
where the demand for scent in
crease was granted.

AID FOR LIBERIA.
American Cruiser Sent to Monrovia
to Size Up Situation.

Washington.-The situation in Ii
IBERIA is giving rise to apprehension
here. The attack by the native tribes
from the French side of the southern
boundary along the Cavally river upon
the English factory and the Liberian
troops would in itself be dangerous to
the existence of the little republic.
But in addition there is a state of
practical decentralization at Monrovia,
the capital, and the finances of the
country are in desperate plight, all
being factors which might easily serve
as q prelude for intervention by some
of the European powers.
Such Intervention usually leads to a
permanent domination, and the state
department is resolved this shall not
be. Already British and French war
ships are on their way to the seat
of trouble, SO with some satisfaction,
the navy department on Thursday an
nounced the sailing from St Vincent,
Cape Verde, of the swift scout cruiser
Birmingham for Monrovia, where she
should arrive by Saturday evening.

New York.-George w. Griffin, a

damages for false arrest and imprison-

BALLOON FELL INTO THE SEA
Three Men Killed and One Injured
When Balloon Was Caught in
Storm and Dropped Into Water.

Stettin, Germany.-The German bal
loon Pommern, which made an ascen-
sion here Sunday afternoon, met with
a series of accidents which ended in
disaster in the Baltic sea under
most tragic circumstances. Three men
lost their lives, including the radical
member of the reichstag. Werner
Hugo del Brueck.
Herr Del Brueck and another mem
Der of the party were drowned, a
third occupant of the car was picked
up unconscious and died from his in

in serious condition.
The Pommern, carrying Del Brueck,

Benduhn, and man named Helm.
assembled early in the afternoon at
the gas works. The wind at the time
was blowing a hurricane, and the
Pommern broke away before she had
been completely ballasted.
The chapter of accidents began i'm
mediately. The balloon collided with
telegraph wires, which broke, almost
| overturning the basket. 1t then dash
ed against the roof of a neighboring
factory, destroying the smokestack.
With the basket swaying wildly and
half of its ropes cut, the balloon
scared to a great altitude, and disap
peared in the clouds at terrific
speed. Thousands of onlookers, in
| Guiding a detachment of soldiers
which had assisted in the ascent, ran
along the roads, expecting the basket
to break away The balloon, however
was not seen again until it reached
! Swinmunde, thirty-six miles north
west of Stettin, over which it passed
at height of 5000 feet, in the di
rection of the sea. Tugs followed il
its track, and one of them, which hac
outdistanced the others, was almos
directly under it when suddenly the
balloon fell into the sea. The tug
steamed quickly. but the work of res
cue was difficult. Already Brueck anC
Bendhun had disappeared, but Som
melhardt and Helm were clinging t.
the ropes. and they were dragged
aboard the vessel.

THE RAILROAD BILL REPORTED
Measure Before the House, Although
Stripped of Many Original Fea-
lures, Makes Radical Changes.

Washington. - Wild ely diverging
views on control of common carriers,
including a split minority presenta-
ton, are expressed in reports that ac-
companied the submission of the ad-
ministration railroad bill to the house
by the interstate commerce commit
tee Friday
The measure drafted by Attorney
General Wickersham at the instance
of President Taft, introduced by Rep
resentative Townsend of Michigan
and transformed by radical changes in
house committee into a substitute
measure, already is being debated in
the senate. In the house it probably
will follow the naval appropriation
bill.
The majority report, which Chair
man Mann signed with the other Re-
publican members, stamps the pro
posed amendment as even more i'm
portant than any preceding acts for
the control of railroads, imposing no
undue interference with railway man
agement and comforting large benefits
| upon the public.
The minority report, striking at the
commerce court, declares mo untried
experimental legislation of a doubtful
constitutional character, should be en-
tered upon by congress at a time
when neither consumers, shippers nor
railroads ask for such legislation
The minority members, while earn.
