Special Dispatch to THE NEW yoRK HERALD
MARION. H., Sept. madison coal
mine No. IL at Cambria, Williamson
county, resumed work to-day after q
three day strike because the miners
we're denied permission to park their
motor cars in the usual place,
Madison is one OF the newest mines
in the county and the men live long
distance from the mines. The men
formerly parked their cars around the
mine Office.
During tie strike the company
erected a high wire fence so that the
miners were unable to get to the mine
and were forced to park in an adjacent
field. Refusing TO park their cars away
from the mine last Friday the men went
back home and a grievance committee
finally arranged q new parking place
which was fixed up to-day and now
everything is settled and coal comes q
the surface once more.
There are 800 miners employed al
this mine and IL is estimated that
about 100 own cars. The average daily
pay for these men is nearly $3.50.

White House Says One of Two
Democrats Left Plans
to Resign.
Is MIXED CLAIMS UMPIRE

w ~hfuUf II g.. Sent.

Speota, Dispatch to THE NEW YosK HnaALp,
Now York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. c.. Sept. s.
William r. Day. Associate Justice OF
the Supreme Court, is contemplating
resignation. Announcement to this ef-
feet was made at the White House to-
day.
IT was stated that the formal resig-
nation had not come to the President
and probably would not be submitted
until Justice Day has ascertained how
long his services would be required on
the Mixed Claims Commission, of which
he is umpire by appointment of Presi-
dent Harding.
The announcement of the probable
resignation Of Justice Day was coinct-
dent with the confirmation by the Senate
of former Senator George Sutherland of
Utah to succeed Justice John Hessin
Clarke, whose resignation was made
public yesterday.
Senator Sutherland's appointment was
confirmed unanimously by the Senate In
open session few minutes after Presi-
dent Harding had sent in the nomina-
tion.
III would take the SpihihioSioh
a year or more to pass on the tangie
of matters before 1t, the State Depart
ment estimated.
Justice Day was 73 years old last
April. Because of his age, 1t is re-
garded as doubtful II he would consider
remaining on the bench after his work
as umpire Is finished There is every
probabili therefore, that he VIII
resign.
The succession of Justice Sutherland
to Justice CIarlxes place divides the
Supreme Court seven to two as between
two political parties, seven being Re-
publicans and two Democrats. While
the Supreme Court in its official capac-
ity Is outside politics, 1t is the usual
custom to maintain more even balance
in appointments. 1t is expected. there
fore, that President Harding may de-
eide TO appoint a Democrat in the event
Justice Day does resign.
Speculation as to who would be nomf~
rated In his place Is just getting under
way. In some quarters 1t was hinted
that the President might appoint Senator
John X. Shields Of Tennessee. II he de-
cides ,on a Democrat. Senator Oscar
Underwood. minority leader of the SEN
ate, also was mentioned, but Senator
Shields was given prominence.
Senator Shields occupied the limelight
during the League OF Nations fight. He
was one of the uncompromising oppon.
ents of the league and was always in
the forefront OF the bitter enders."
