Trims Millions From Pay
Rolls

Chicago, Dec. l4.-Additional mil
lions were trimmed from railway
payrolls in decision handed down
by the railroad labor board today,
providing for a radical change in
overtime payment for 5S5,OO0 un-
skilled employees.
The decision, which abolishes over.
time until ten hours have been work
ed, affects all maintenance Of way
employees, shop and roundhouse labor
ers, and unskilled laborers of bridge
and repair gangs. The wartime ma
tional agreements provided overtime
after eight hours.
This decision disposcs of the major
part of rules question, and makes 1t
possible to take up wage conSldera-
tion soon.
The board made no estimate OF
the amount the decision will cut from
the pay envelopes, other than to say
that it would amount to millions "in
normal times"
The basic eight-hour law is un-
changed Time and half for Sun
F. day work is eliminated, and EN-
ployees taken from regular jobs and
transported in camp cars drawn only
straight time for eight hours per
day.
! Carriers by the new rule are en-
titled to arrange the time of the
working day by mutual agreement
with employees. This will eliminate
much of the overtime.

Blames Railway Co.
Probe By Coroner's Jury In Death of
NJ. l.. Dinwiddie

The Virginia Railway
Company was held responsible for
the death of Marshall L. Dinwiddie,

day by being struck by a car on the

night at Arlington County Court
house. DR.. B. H. Swain. coroner,
presided.

responsible for the fatal accident by
reason of the fact that proper n
structions and rules are not promul-
gated and enforced as to employees
for the protection of its passengers
and furthermore, we find that the
proper protection is not given its pas
sengers at Arlington Junction when
the change Of passengers from the

women ATTACK
KANSAS Miners
Mines CLOSED
Army of Gentle Sex Battles
With Clubs, Bricks
and Tongues
VICTORS OVER MEN
To Renew Fight Again Today to
Force Complete Shutdown OF
Mines.

Girard, Kans. Dec. 14.-Woman
stood alone last night in the South
ern Kansas coal fields-triumphant
She had left her kitchen and her
babies for war. In one day she
closed six coal mines in this district
Husbands, fathers, sweethearts, and
brothers stood by and cheered her
on.
More than 1000 women, shrieking,
singing with hair floating behind
them as they raced into battle. at
tackled coal miners in this district
who would not join the rump strike
in support of Alexander Howat, de-
posed and jailed president of the
Kansas miners.
In a fury of attack that dwarfed
any other riot ever experienced in
this vicinity, the women swooped
down upon miners going to work.
They grabbed miners in the pits
and threw them out. Between 500
and 600 miners were driven from
six mines.
Some miners obeyed the shrieked
injunctions to "get out of there you
traitors!!" Others fought back, but
were no match for the whirling
feminine dervishes who battled
with tongues, clubs, bricks, food
from dinner pails-anything they
could get their hands on.
The miners at work are support
ers Of President John L. Lewis, OF
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, and against Alexander Howat
The women are wives and members
of families of Howat miners. Fol-
months the Howat faction has been
trying to defeat the Lewis faction in
tieing up the mines.
Where they failed, the women
succeeded in a few hours.
Starting as the men were going
to work, the women descended ir
groups of 500 and 900. Some were
singing the "Internationale," some
were so angry that they cried.
The majority of the women were
foreigners, shawled, some of then,
in wooden shoes. Others were Amer
leans and many pair of high heels
! were dug into miner shins.
Miners who resisted were clawed
and pummeled-and fled.
"Well chase every Lewis traitor
off the job in Southern Kansas,
their leaders shouted, and three di,
visions, carrying American flags
bounded over fields and bitches
across country to other mines.
Sheriff Gould and his deputies
were powerless before the warrine
women. Gould said no extra depu.
ties would be sworn in to stem the
feminine tide.
"You can't get men to do that
sort of thing" he said.

trolled the four sides of the gridiron
College Varsity engaged in an inten-
sive workout in preparation for the
game in Wilmington Saturday with
Delaware College.
A report TO the effect that spies
would be on hand TO size up the cadet
workout caused Cadet Howard f. Bat
tin, L. NJ. c. football manager, to ask
for installation of the guards. The
sentries challenged all strangers and
ordered from the gridiron, two young
| fellows who appeared to have 'nif-

The military department of the col
iege. under Lieutenant Colonel Everett
| n. Bowman, Z. S. detail, excused The
entire corps from drill so that the
| Varsity could devote the entire after
noon to preparation for the historic
bout with Delaware. p. NJ. c. played
II TO game with Delaware last sea-
son, and in 1920 defeated Delaware by
a score of 16 to 0. Prior to 1920 Della
ware Tor a dreary stretch of seven
years had given the cadets an awful
drubbing. The rivalry between the
two colleges is keener than ever this
season. The cadets have a promising
addition TO their squad in George

hack Of the West Chester Normal
School team. Worst also starred in
the backfield Of West Chester High
In the workout yesterday he showed
himself to be a nifty punter, a good
forward passer and swift in open
