ted that they had heard such reports, they refused to say whether or not they had given them any credence. The operators declare that many of the men signing the notice for the men to but four or five of the 20 signers being said by them to be strangers in the district.
 Opera tions in District No. 19 were vir- tually at a standstill Monday, the ex- ception being the mines of the Proctor Coal company. at Jellieo, and several small properties in various parts of the district which are understood to have yielded to the demands of the miners for recognition of the union.
 WORK TIED UP
 Work in the Clear Fork region, near Jelico. is tied up almost absolutely. only a few cars of coal being shipped out from that section Monday. whereas hun dreds of cars are sent out daily when the mines are running full blast.
 In nearly all the mines affected by the strike, however. few men remain at work mainly keeping the pumps in ac- tion and attending to the repair work essential to the safety of the workings.
 Reports from the various districts af- fected by the strike indicated that only about 2o0o of the more than 1s.00o men employed in the mines were at work Mon day.
 Everything was reported quiet about the mines today, although the placing Q armed guards around number of the properties affected was reported from Jel lico. Coal Creek. Middlesboro, Clear Fork and Pinesville-

MEDIATION ONLY SOLUTION IN
 NSASC|TY STRIKE

Kansas City, August 13.-Federal media tion. which it was said would be under taken shortly, appears tonight to offer the only chance for settlement of the street car strike which has paralyzed transportation for six days. The strik- CTS today rejected overtures from the Kansas City Railways company looking to the ''open shop" They demand rec ognition of the union.
 The street car company promised coun- ty authorities that 600 strike breakers de- ported from here would be sent to their homes in the east 1t was asserted they were assauging a 4S-hour appetite by rillaging the country near Selsa. 16 miles from here, where they are marooned

 The Birmingham boys, according to information from Adjutant General Nc Cain, established glorious records" ," They walked away with 19 captaincies Il first and 75 second lieutenantcies. The majority of the young officers will be assigned to the reserve corps Others will see service in the new na- tional army and few are deemed worthy of rank in the regular army.
 NEWSPAPER BOYS SCORE
 The newspaper boys of Birmingham scored heavily. They are headed by Leon c. Bradley, city editor of The Age-Her- aid, who will be a first lieutenant in the First infantry company. Young Walter Blackman. another Age-Herald repre- sentative, son of Walter W. Blackman, cartoonist, will be a second lieutenant in the artillery arm of the service. Charles w. Greer. formerly telegraph editor of The Age-Herald, won ieutenantcy. Paoli Smith and Dan Rubin are other Birmingham scribes who made good.

Just what steps are contemplated by the government to. bring the strike to an end at an early date could not be ascertained Monday. Whether there will be an attempt to bring miners and oper- ators together in an effort to mediate whatever differences may exist, or wheth- CT the men will be prevailed on to re turn to work with the promise of gov ernmental assistance in treating with the mine owners neither the operators rep resentatives in the city nor officials of District 19. United Mine Workers of America who could be reached by tele- phone was willing to hazard guess.
 Beyond the knowledge that the gov ernment had at least two representa- tives. one at Middlesboro and another at Jellico. Monday. obtaining data for the guidance of the Washington officials neither the strikers nor the mine man. agers had received any hint of what Washington purposed doing toward bring ing to an end the strike which yester- day was said to involve between 15,OOO and 16000 men.
 MOVE FROM WASHINGTON
 Any move on the part of the govern ment to bring the strike to an end will emanate from Washington. it is believed, after the report of the nations repre- sentative now on the scene has been d. gested.
 Reports in Knoxville today that anti American influences were at work among the miners of the affected region had no circumstantial facts to pear them out While operators representatives admit

GENERAL DEBATE
 ON WAR TAX BILL
 WILL CLOSE TODAY
Feature of Day Was Speeches of Two Repub- lican Senators in Sup
 port of Measure

Washington, August 13.-General debate In the Senate on the war tax bill is expected to close tomorrow. Chairman Simmons of the finance committee an- nounced late today that only two more senators had signihed their intention of speaking and that he would move to take Up the committee amendments as soon as they have been heard
 REPUBLICANS SUPPORT
 Senators Penrose and McCumber. re- publican members of the committee, spoke at length during the day in support of the bill, which they declared had been revised in nonpartisan spirit Senator Penrose said that while he had voted against the revenue measures since the present administration came into power because they marked a departure In the fiscal policy of the United States of large ly abandoning the tariff as the source of revenue and resorting to direct taxa tion, the situation is different now and the American government has never he's itated to raise revenue by direct taxation and loans when required to do so by a state of war.
 o4tLl IA'lA Olt<AAAl
 The taxpayer must bear in mind, Sen ator Penrose said, that the bill is tenn porary in its operation and that when the war Is over the whole tax system of the country will be revised.
 After the close of the war, Senator Penrose said, the United States, more than ever, would need a high protective tariff to maintain its industrial pros perity.
 The Pennsylvania senator sharply crit czed the administration for delay in settling controversies with manufacturers, declaring relentless prosecution of the war was being held up and that an element of uncertainty as to the amount of revenue to be derived had been in- jected into consideration of the tax bill Tt seems to me- he added, referring to disputes over prices of war mate- rials, that speed and prompt delivery Is the essence of the emergency One hundred million dollars are being spent, it is said, each day by the allies or S1, ,o00,- 000. GOO every 10 days, and it is estimated that 10000 men are being killed each day on the allies side In this tremendous crisis speedy delivery constitutes the most imperatively essential element.
 PREDICTS LONG WAR
 "If l had my way, I would urge an amendment to this bill that purchases should be handled by a committee of three. whose duty it will be to determine prices, decide upon priority as well as to advise the various purchasing agents now employed by the government so as 4, iivtdo-r xzfififf xzfifn zffff.. j to protect them against criticism.
 Senator McCumber predicted war of at least four years and an expenditure of $40 0O0, ,O00,000 He said the bill was just the beginning of the taxes which must be levied. bur deciared that the future generations should pay the greater part of the cost as the present one will fur nish the men and materials to crush the German autocracy.
 During the debate Senator Reed made another attack upon Herbert c. Hoover, asserting that the food administrators statement of his plan to control wheat, flour and bread was the decree of dc-. tator.
