as the wage increase adopted provides
against any advance of the price Of coal,
while an additional increase of wages
would necessitate a big increase in coal
prices.
1t is difficult to determine who are
the insurgept leaders in this district.
Tney are keeping under cover, ap-
parently so it will be impossible TO
serve any injunction on them. The in :
surgents say they do not expect to close
all the collieries ut once, but hope event
ually to get all the men to join the
movement.
Scranton, Pa. Aug. 31.-(By A. P.)
More than 700 miners of the Jermyn
Coal Co. at Old Forge struck yesterday
in sympathy with the striking contract
miners of the Pennsylvania Coal Co.
It is alleged that Garfield Lewis, OF
Old Forge, a leader among the insur-
gent mine workers, is responsible for
the walkout and that he urged the men
TO quit work during an address which
he made at meeting in Old Forge ON
Sunday.
Sentiment in administration circles OF
the United Mine Workers OF America
in this city seemed to indicate that there
was no immediate possibility of a gen.
eral strike in the anthracite region.
John Il. Dempsey, president Of District
No. l, in discussing the award, brand
ed the action of the insurgents as un-
oficial, and further declared that he
was not fearful that the men would
quit work.
Hazleton, Pa, Aug. 31.-Prepara
tions were made today by Thomas Ken
nedy, president of the United Mine
Workers of the Hazleton district and
chairman Of the general scale commit
tee of the anthracite field, for meet.
ing of the latter body here tomorrow
morning. At that time further steps
will be considered for obtaining better
terms, if possible. The plan. as so faI
outlined, is to make new demands OF
the operators. as was done in the
bituminous section, to bring the wage
advance up to what the soft coal men
have since received.
Miners are restive and it is feared
there may be some suspensions tomor-
row morning.
Wilkes Barre, Aug. 31.-Anthracit,
miners will meet tomorrow in Halle
ton and Wilkes Barre. The tridistrict
scale committee will convene at Halle
ton to frame new demands for presen
tation to President Wilson if he grants
reopening of the case, while three
hundred delegates from local union.
| will meet in this city to take actor
on the approval by President Wilson
of the majority report of the wage com
! mission.
Coal operators here say prices viii
go up slightly for outside buyers ant
that q larger advance will be paid by
local consumers. This statement is mad,
in the face of the clause of the ma
jority report which stated that no in
crease in price of coal is warranted.
Independent operators say the claus,
in the report of the majority which
prohibits an increase refers to retail
trade and 'present prices"

MY opinion is that this Is impossible.
How can Poland, with its small army,
badly munitioned, remain on a fixed

should have trenches and protecting

County Roads Department
Suffers as Auto License
Funds Revert to State

Wayne county's apportionment OF
the state automobile license fund from
the 1919 licenses is s1,472.57, county
officials were advised Monday.
This is the last auto tax money
Wayne county will receive until the
present law is revised" said w. O.
Jones, county road commissioner
Last year the first installment of auto
taxes was only a little over $1.100, but
the total was approximately $4,000.
"All the maintenance money for
county roads will have to come from
direct taxation from now on contin
ued Jones, "as hereafter all the money
derived from the auto licenses will be
used by the state in maintaining state
highways.
I'VE would have received at least
$4,000, from auto licenses, which
would have easily carried us through
this years program, and the loss is
keenly felt. We have already been
granted permission by the state board
of tax commissioners to float a short
loan of $4,000 for county roads. How
ever if we had received our auto tax
money this loan would not have been
necessary.
I'm all justice to our county repre-
sentatives and senator's said Jones in
conclusion, sit might be said that each
and all of them fought the law revert
ing the auto license funds to the state
commission. But they fought against
too great odds and were defeated.

Light Plant Has Plenty
of Coal: Explains Dillon:
Unloading is Very Slou

Superintendent Dillon of the munic-
ipal light plant explained the coal sit
uation Monday. THE fact Is" said
Dillon, 1.-The light plant has so much
coal in the local c. & o. yards, that
traffic was blocked and railroad Of
ficials issued an embargo against coal
consigned to the light plant. We have
also increased our coal handling shift
from eight to II men.
cit would be physical impossibility
for us to have more coal on hand than
we have now. with our present coal
handling facilities. We have not only
unloaded coal on our own track, but
have hauled coal from both the Penn
sylvania and c. & o. tracks.
Coal at this time of the year is
frozen in the cars and even with a
steam jet to thaw it out, it takes
longer to unload a car now than 1t
does in warmer months"
Superintendent Dillon said there
was approximately a months supply
of coal on hand at the plant.

ROOT SELECTION IS
limited MOTIVE FOR
LANSING DISMISSAL

WASHINGTON, Feb ia new
element of explanation for the sensa-
tional election from cabinet OF former
Secretary of State Robert Lansing by
President Wilson developed Sunday In
high official quarters.
1t was reported that one, If not the
most impelling reasons for the action
of the president was the selection OF
Elihu Root, presumably after the state
department had been sounded out, as
the man to aid in the formation of a
constitution for the permanent court
of internG tional justice in accordance
with tho plans Of the member states
of the league Of nations.
Mr.. Roots selection, while made
some time ago, was not announced
formally until the recent meeting of
the council OF the league in London.
Diplomatic Gossip Barred.
Gossip In diplomatic circles is to
the effect that the president was not
asked whether or not he thought the
appointment Of Mr.. Root was suitable,
chiefly because the council, under the
treaty, was free to name whoever 1t
deemed to be the best fitted.
Amrican diplomats overseas,
though, were said to have known long
in advance Of the official announce.
ment Of Mr.. Roots appointment, that
he had been selected for the position,
and they naturally communicated the
information to the state department.
While in the best informed circles
the belief that Viscount Edward
Greys letter was the spark that start.
ed the white house bonfire persisted
| today, there nevertheless was an indi-
cation to place credence in the report
that Mr. Roots appointment was an
actuating motive so far as the Presi-
dents action was concerned
The objection of the President, it
| was set forth, lay not so much in the
personality of Mr.. Root, whom he in
the past selected for important mis-
sions, but in the manner of his ap-
pointment.
Right of League Granted.
1t was granted here that the league
possessed the right to select any one
at it's discretion for the posts, one of
which will be taken by Mr.. Root, but
it also was held that it would be con-
trary to interna tional precedent if this
Government were not consulted first
regarding its views on Mr.. Roots fit
ness for the place.
Otherwise, foreign nations, or the
council of the league, might select
persons Objectionable to the Ameri-
can government.
