Coal Strike
May Blow Over
Both Sides to Seek Com
promise at Meeting in
New York.

New York. Feb. 5.-The threatened
strike of 1F.OOO anthracite miners prob
ably will be ayerted through a willing
ness to make concessions by both parties
to the controversy.
Both factions are actively preparing
for trouble. despite the secret hopes
they entertain.
The miners demand 20 per cent increase
in wages, complete recognition OF the
United Mine Workers of America. a two
year working agreement, an eight-hour
day and changes in methods Of fixing
wages. Nineteen great coal companies
have decided to reject the demands.
An effort at compromise will be made
February n. when representatives OF
both factions meet at the McAlpin Hotel,
IN this city. II a satisfactory settlement
s not obtained at the meeting there still
remains the possibility of arbitration.
In some quarters the situation is said
to be the most serious that has arisen in
the coal industry since the strike Of 1907
Several months ago the Pennsylvania
Railroad was declared to have placed up
ward of 100000 tons Of coal in storage
as a precaution against the strike. There
Is said to be less than fortnight's sup
ply Of coal in storage which could be
drawn upon by the public.

New York, Feb. 5.-A washington dis

learned tonight that the Department Of
Justice by subpoena has required Of
dcers Of the Riggs National Bank, Of
this city, to produce for the use OF the
government all records Of financial trans
actions conducted through the bank by
Capt Franz Won Papen. recalled MILL
tary attsche Of the German Embassy.
1t was upon the Riggs Bank that Won
Papen drew his check Of 800 to the order
Of Werner Horn, now under indictment
for attempting to dynamite the Inter
national Railway Bridge at St CrotI.
Me, and many other checks indicating
his connection with the German incen-
diary campaign.
The British government furnished the
State Department with a complete record
OF checks drawn by Won Papen. as
shown by the stubs OF his check book,
which was taken from the German Of
ncer by British authorities when the
ship on which he was returning to Ger
many stopped at a British port

that the Department Of Justice By rorc-
ing an exposure OF the banks record "a

which the British government has placed
In the hands OF the State Department.
Checks Given to P1otter~-
Whether this information is desired In
the prosecution OF German secret agents,
or is sought to back up diplomatic
protest from the United States to Ger

connection with the investigation being
conducted by H. Snowden Marshall,

A Bruce Bielasd, Chief Of the Bureau
Of Investigations Of the Department of

The record OF Won Papen's financial
transactions as revealed in the data sub
mitted to the State Department by the
British government includes many other
checks besides the one drawn to the
order Of Horn which might give ground
for diplomatic protest to Germany or
which might become involved in criminal
prosecutions against German agents in
this country.
Two weeks before the explosion in Seat

ments intended for the Russians. Won
Papen made a large payment to the
German consulate at Seattle.
In all Of these instances. it was shown
that Won Papens payments to the in

ments made to Won Papen by Count Won
Bernstorr. the German Ambassador, or
in the name, at least, Of the German EN-
bassy.
