FIRST TEST IN
 STRIKE MARKED
 BY N0 CHANGES 5
Approximately 425,0OO Men Idle According to Estimates of
 Unions.

Chicago, Nov. 3.-Today, the first real test day in the nationwide strike of bituminous coal miners, passed without any break of conse- quence in the general cessation Of production, despite the inactivity of the leaders of the United Mine Workers of America because of the governments restraining order.
 During the day, there was a furth- CT movement of troops into affected areas, although only one minor dis turbance was reported.
 Although there was report that break among union miners had oc- cured in the northern West Virginia fields, where, it was said, 15 mines were in operation, miners and opera tors asserted that the production of soft coal was paralyZed. It was re- ported that some Lnion miners re- stunned work in one Colorado mine when operators and union officials agreed upon settlement, whereby operations would make such wage in- creases as were later made effective in eastern fields.
 Non-union mines in Pennsylvania and West Virginia were in operation today with almost the usual working forces. Union leaders admitted, that, because of the restraining order, they were doing nothing to induce non- workers to walk out. In Ohio, five or six stripping companies were operat- ing.
 With approximately 425,00O min CTS idle, according to union leaders, claims, and conceded by most of the operators. consumers were beginning to feel the effects of the strike in production. Thousands of cars of coal were being confiscated by the federal railroad administration, a few schools were closed in remote places, and in number of communi- ties, water and electric caps were affected.
 While operators generally were making no attempts to mine coal, re- ports from the various fields in 28 states said that whistles were blown this morning in many mines with a futile hope that enough workers might be induced to return to open the mines.
 At Billings, Mont, it was an- nounced today that the schools would not open tomorrow because of the coal famine. More than 4,000 pupils and 12O teachers will be affected. Some towns in Nebraska also face the closing of schools unless coal ship ments held in Colorado are received.
 The situation as it may soon di- rectly affect the consumer was in- dicated ill report from Chattanooga, Tenn, where coal dealers entered an agreement to limit the supply of coal to domestic consumers to two tons. Industrial buyers were completely cut off. The dealers said that only a fif- teen-day supply was on hand.

 RE:-PAVINC WILL
 BEGIN AT ONCE
Street to Be Rebuilt from Sixth to City Limits, Under New
 Ordinance.
SOME OF OWNERS
 PROTEST PROPOSAL
Ask That Barraque- Sixth Section of Walnut Also Be Included-T. !. Collier, H. C. Fox and Dr. 0.
 G. Blackwell Chosen.

Olive street, from Ninth south to the city limits, and Walnut from Sixth to Ninth will be re-paved immedate- ly. The city council last night de- clared that the petitioners recently asking, for the creation of paving district No. AZ represent a majority valuation of the assessed property in the district, authorized the dis trict to proceed with the work, and appointed Thos. J. Collier, H. c. Fox and Dr. o. G. Blackwell as con- missioners. In addition to Olive street, district No. 47, includes Tenth. Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth. between Olive and Laurel.
 The councils action in completing organization of the district came after protest had been filed by J. L. Armfield and other owners of property on Walnut, between Ninth and Sixth avenues, and the proposed improvement had been discussed by N. J. Can't Jr., Judge w. T. Wool ridge, MT. Armfield and Mercer Sligh. MT. Armfield said he was not opposed to the improvement, but that he and other property owners objected to being included in the district unless that part of Olive. from Sixth to Barraque is included. MT. Sligh asked that his name be withdrawn from the protestants' peti- tion.
 Judge Woodbridge and MT. Can't explained that the property north of Sixth had not been included because the owners of business houses be- tween Fourth and Barraque had de- clared opposition to district, asserting that if re-paving became necessary they would rather nay for it on the front foot plan. It was pointed out also that Walnut street, between Sixth and Barraoue, was not in as bad shape as that portion of Walnut and Olive south of Sixth avenue.
 MT. Can't urged immediate action by the council, that the district might at once obtain bids for the work. He indicated that actual con- struction would begin as soon after December 1 as possible.
 Certificates of J. H. Ancrum of the Jefferson Abstract company sub- mitted in support of the district, showed that petitioners for the im- provement represented $266.21O of the assessed valuation of $337, ,98O.
 The paving of Oak street. from Barraque to Sixth, was provided for when the council declared that the petitioners for the improvement rep resented $63.015 of the total as- sessed valuation of $8O.OOO in the pro- posed district. and authorized that Improvement District No. IA proceed with the improvement.

SW!NDLER CRIES
 AS KE IS GIVEN
 FIvE-yEAR TERM
Arthur James Eek, Stolid Dur ing Trial, Finally Breaks
 Down.

Arthur James Eek, alias Mister Clark, Robt. J. White, Harry Smith, Arthur J. Barley, Gerard P Stone and some other names, displayed more emotion when he was formal ly sentenced yesterday than he has at any time since he was arrested in connection with the swindling of Joseph J. Mink, Illinois farmer, of $20,000, in fake rice farm transaction here. Eek was convict ed by a jury last week, and given the maximum sentence for grand larceny.
 "Have you anything to say why sentence should not be imposed ?" Eek was asked in court yesterday by Judge w. B. Sorrells.
 "No, your honor,' replied Eek.
 Then, in accord with the jury's verdict, Judge Sorrells fixed Ecks punishment at five years at hard labor in the state penitentiary. Eek was crying as he resumed his seat
 Three other indictments are pend ing against Eek here. Prosecuting Attorney F.. w. Rrockman said he will not dismiss any of these until assured Eek has served his sentence. In addition to the charges pending against Eek in the circuit court here, he is under indictment in the federal court at Little Rock on a charge using the mail to defraud. He was brought here when released at Little Rock under bond of $2O,- 900.
 Eek was arrested in New York by the federal authorities. A reward of $5,00O had been offered by MT. Mink, the circulars carrying the of fering bearing a picture of the man who swindled Mink, and the clause that the "reward is offered for the recovery of the money and the ar rest and conviction of this man." identified as that of Eek, was ob- tained from the police of Illinois. The authorities also have a picture of the same man in convict garb. ..
 Tho Eek is known to have had confederates, he has refused to give any attenuation concerning them, or therein probable whereabouts. Inasmuch as $2C,0O0 was placed with the surety company which signed as surety on Eck's bond in the federal court, it is surmised that he has strong financial backing. His ac- ceptance of sentence here wfthA out effort to obtain new trial caused some surprise. Some con- lecture that Eek and his friends pre- fer that he should go to the state prison on a five-year sentence, rath- CT than take chance at the federal penitentiary.
 George Daniels and Lee Maxwell, convicted last week of grand lar ceny, were others formally senten- ced yesterday. Each received al sentence of one year in the peniten- tiary.

Irish Protest
 Sims Charges
 Against Sim Fein

Washington, Nov. 3.-Protesting a current magazine article by Rear Admiral William s. Sims, in which he is said to have charged the Sim Fein party of Ireland with having been "opehly pro-German" during the war. the Irish National Bureau, in letter to Secretary Daniels, made public last night, declares the article "embodies an open insult to millions of American citizens by in- ferentially charging that they have allied themselves with a cause which was openly hostile to America in great war"
 Denying the truth of Admiral Sims statements, the letter protests against their being given "credence and dignity" by emanating from an officer of the United States navy, and asks that they be corrected or withdrawn.

Too Much Agitation in Both Factions,
 SchWab Declares

Chicago, Nov. 3.-In discussing the labor situation today. Charles M. Schwab, head of the Bethlehem Steel corporation, said. "The situ- ation in the United States would benefit if there was less agitation by certain elements on both sides"
 "There has been too much calling of names" he said. "between the opposing forces in the steel strike, and the miners strike and other in- dustrial revolts, and this, with the excitement attendant on the sensa- tional reports, has a tendency to keep stirred up to the point where some are expressing fears of rev. olution of civil war;"

FARES FOR TAXI DRIVERS FIXED BY THE COUNCIL Ten Block Trip 2 Cents; Over Ten Blocks to Be
 50 Cents. TO COMPEL RESPONSE
 TO ALL REQUESTS Drivers Who Won't Take Long Hauls Object of Ordinance to Be In- troduced by Alderman
 McGibbony.

Fares which may be charged ty last night by the city council as fol- lows:
 For trip of 10 blocks or under, 25 cents.
 For a trip beyond 10 blocks, to any point within the city, 50 cents. The ordinance provides that viol- ation of the ordinance shall be class ed as misdemeanor, and the of fender may be fined from $5 to $25.
 Alderman George McGibbony stated that another ordinance will be proposed, the purpose of which will be to compel taxi drivers to respond to calls. He stated that some taxi drivers are now calculating , a trip from the point at which they start. That is, if they travel 10 blocks to reach fare, and transport the fare 10 blocks they charge for 20 blocks. Under the ordinance adopted last night only the distance the fare is
 transported may be counted.
 Under the ordinance now in prep aration taxi drivers will be compell- ed to respond to calls, or forfeit their license. This is intended to prevent some drivers from declining fares over long distances, and picking up all short hauls.
 The police department reported S7O5 in fines and forfeitures during October, $530 of the amount being collected. Cases involving $40 were appealed to the circuit court, while offenders sentenced to pay fines to- talllng S12O were committed in de- fault of payment.

 Chas. Haycock and J. w. Monk, commissioners of Improveemnt Dis trict No. 10, were invited to meet with the council at it's next sitting, for the purpose of disposing of business of the district, that the commissioners may be relieved of further duties.
 Something of the cost of fire hose used by the city was indicated by the report of the board of public affairs that contract had been awarded for 1000 feet of fire hose at $1.30 a foot.
 . All eight aldermen were present at the meeting at which Mayor M. c. Hollis stated that the Southwest ern Bell Telephone company had settled in full for it's pole privileges. The council recently increased the tax on poles. and the telephone com pany seemed inclined to contest the higher rate.

ated that adequate protection would be given. There was no specific statement as to how this would be provided, but it was explained that troops would be available at the call of any governor who believed it necessary to preserve order or pro tect workers. Scattered reports from the fields, reaching into 28 states, showed the first breaks in the ranks of organized labor in West Virginia and Colorado. Advices to Washing ton headquarters of the operators said that all non-union mines were working to full capacity and turning out considerably more coal than Saturday. Some of the operators reports said that union men had gone to work in non-union mines, and that there was growing sentiment that the men themselves should have had the right to vote on the strike before it was ordered.
 This information, to a large ex. tent, was in line with that received defections. Officials said the strik- CTS realized public sentiment was against them, and some labor leaders dlSO were IdhllS CHlS VlcW.
 Attorney General Palmer, handling the main end of the governments case, went to Pennsylvania tonight, feeling, it was said, that the crisis might be over before Saturday. the day on which the temporary injunc- tion restraining officers of the min ers' organization from activity was made returnable. Asked what the government would do that day, an official said:
 "We will not cross that bridge until we get to it"
 The fact that no disorders was re- ported anywhere by department of justice agents was taken as good sign that conditions were hopeful and that the miners realized it was time for sober judgment and action. Several miners meeting were sched- uled for tonight in the coal fields and it was thought here that these might have an important bearing on the general situation.
 COnciIiators Confer.
 While it had been the govern ment's first reported intention to let the strike wear itself out, hope of settling it put all agencies to work, and some direct steps were taken, but their nature was not dis closed. The sweeping power of the federal court injunction in cutting off all strike benefits is being re- lied upon by the government to bring the strike to speedy end. Local representatives of the United Mine Workers of America were notified today that checks to cover expenses for the last half of October could not be sent at this time because of the courts order.
 likeness of the miners with no funds available for their support makes it doubtful if they can hold out for any extended period, accord ing to the view of men familiar with strike conditions. It is largely be- cause of this fact that labor leaders themselves look for early peace in the industry.
 Three conciliators of the depart ment of labor here from the coal fields, were in conference with of ficials of the department today, and gave first hand information as to actual conditions.
