MICHAEL COLLINS SHOT
TO DEATH FROM AMBUSH
Head Of lreland's Provisional Govern
ment Is Slain at Bandon While
Riding in Automobile.

London, Aug. 22.-Michael Collins,
the most heroic figure In the recent
years Of turbulent guerillaism in Ire
land, last night became a martyr to
his country. He was shot dead while
riding in an automobile towards Cork
from the southwest
Collins was fired upon from ambush
at Bandon, town of $500 people
about twenty miles southwest Of Cork.
Owing to the disturbed conditions
and the rupture of lines of communi-
cation in Ireland and from Ireland to
the outside world, due to the seizure
and destruction OF telephone and tele-
graph lines by the irregular forces,
and the dismantling Of all the princi-
pal cable and radio stations On the
Irish coastt, the details of The assas-
sination are slow in arriving. Only
the mere dispatch reporting the as
sassinatiOn was received, and shortly
afterward was followed by confirma-
ton in a second dispatch
With De Valera now reported suffer
ing from dangerous wounds inflicted
in battles with the forces under the
command Of Collins, and Collins now
assassinated, both sides are without
real leadership. What the outcome
will be for Ireland Is cause for deep
thinking.

LABORERS IN STEEL
MILLS GET PAY BOOST
U. S. Corporation Plants Increase
Wages 20 Per Cent-Will Bene-
fit 10000 Men.


New York, Aug. 23.-The United
States Steel corporation announced
that the wage rate Of day labor at all
It's manufacturing plants would be in
creased 20 per cent September 1, and
that other rates would be eQuitably
adjusted.
At the offices of the corporation 1t
was said that about 10000 would be
affected by the new scale and that
they would receive SO cents an hour
under the advanced wages.
The corporation has about 100000
men on it's pay roll, but $4,000 are in
the mining and transportation depart
ments, it was said. &
The increase is the first since Feb
ruary /, 1920, when the men were
cents an hour. On May 16 the wages
were cut 20 per cent and on June 16
OF the same year overtime was cut
out for the workers. The final cut
came August 10, 1921. when wages
were reduced to 80 cents an hour.
The announcement came as a big
surprise in steel circles. Some such
move was expected, according to steel
men, but not until much later in the
year. The independent companies, it
was said, probably will be forced to
take similar action.
James L. Farrell, president of the
United States Steel corporation, in
commenting on the wage advance by
his company, said:
"The corporations decision to in
crease wages may we'll be taken as
an indication Of it's belief in the re-
turn of business prosperity. I, with
others, am optimistic.
Naturally, if the Steel corporation
believes the country was on the verge
Of a panic, no wage increase would
have been decided upon"

of Nonpartisans.

Washington, Aug. 23.-The CON-
mission to be appointed by President
Harding to find remedies for the
"basic ills' of the coal industry, will
be composed entirely of representa-
tives of the American public. Its
main object will be to find the way
of preventing future strikes.
This official announcement was
made at the White House following
a meeting of the cabinet, which gave
its unanimous Endorsement to the
Presidents commission plan.
Neither the operators nor the min
ers are to be represented in the per-
sonnet Of the new body, it was said.
1t was admitted at the White House
that President Harding had originally
planned bipartisan body, but in
view of the fact that operators and
miners have created commission of
their own, it was stated that the gov
ernmertal commission of inquiry
will comprise only a public group.
