Congress Prepared To Rush Through First Stages Bill
 To Create Coal Commission

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Congress was ready tonight to rush through it's first stage tomorrow a bill recom- mended by the president for creation of a federal commission to get all the facts relating to the coal industry and on which miners, and operators would not be represented.
 Two bills, slightly different in some essential provisions were reported one to the senate and the other to the house. The Winslow measure, intro duced Monday, will be taken up by the house tomorrow. There was an in timation that the Borah commission bill, ordered reported to the senate by the labor committee, of which Senator Borah is chairman, might also be cal led up tomorrow but there was pos sibility that the senate would delay consideration until the house had act ed
 While the general view was that the house would pass the Winslow bill, by wide margin of votes, there were rumblings of an impending fight to be led by Representative Bland, Republi-

IRISH ARMY'S COMMANDER IN
 CHIEF KILLED
 FROM AMBUSH
Assassins Succeed in Taking Life of Michael Collins,
 Irish Government Head
HIS DEATH FORECASTED
Fatal Attack One of Several Made Against His Life by
 Radical Elements

LONDON, Aug. 22.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-Michael Collins. head of the Irish provisional government and the Irish national army. was shot and killed from ambush at Bandon. county Cork tonight few hours after he had been given an ovation by the people of Cork City, who for the first time saw the free state hero in tha uniform of commander in chief. Thus within ten days two of the most prom Inent figures in the new Irish govern ment have been removed by death. just ten days ago President Griffith Of the Dali Eireann. considered the brains of the new administration died in Dublin; tonight Michael Collins. the free states military genius was Killed at the moment when the dissi- patton of the irregular forces in the south was considered complete.
 Several attacks have been made against the life of Michael Collins. head of the provisional government. and commander in chief of the Irish national army. The latest attempt was bombing outrage when his car was ambushed last Friday afternoon on the Dublin side of Stillorgen. An official communication issued in con nection with this attack. did not indi- cate whether Mir. Collins was in the machine at the time. The driver was wounded and the car was wrecked. bomb and more than a score of shots being fired.
 In Dublin on April F. while Mir. Col lins was on his way home after hay ing addressed a meeting at Naas. County Kildare, he was attacked by a group of men. some with rifles. who rushed his car and opened fire. The Collins party returned the fire and one of the assailants was captured. Collins was not injured.
 Mir. Collins in addition to being com mander in chief of the national army. was financial minister in the Dail Eireann cabinet. He was one of those who succeeded in obtaining a tenn porary injunction in New York on Monday, restraining Eamonn de Va lera or his agents from withdrawing funds collected for the Irish Republi- can cause, deposited in banks in New York City.
 Collins, always an ardent Sim Fein CT, was among those leaders who. while holding to the fundamentals Of tradition for the freedom of Ireland. still were willing to effect a peace with Great Britain. It became neces- sary. in view of the recent operations of the irregular forces for Collins to assume active charge of the national army in the field, and for some time past he had abandoned the civil part of the government for the military.
 Americans recently arriving in Lon don from Dublin declared that the as- sassination of Collins was forecast in Ireland. It was planned to secure the removal of the sole remaining out

THREE STEEL
 CORPORATIONS
 BOOST WAGES
Nearly 300,000 Workers Are Affected by 20 Per Cent
 Increase For Laborers

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-(By the As sociated Press) big steel cor porations, employing normally nearly 3000O0 workers, today announced a twenty per cent wage increase for all day laborers in their manufacturing plants. The United States Steel Cor poration took the lead, but was quick ly followed by the Midvale Steel and Ordnance company. and the Youngs- town Sheet and Tube company.
 In the absence of Charles Schwab and Eugene Grace. of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, no other official of that company would commit himself. Secretary. Brown said, however. he did not know of any action that had been taken on the wage question. President Matthews, of the Crucible Steel Corporation said his company had taken no action as yet. It was generally believed in financial circles that all important independent steel firms would announce increases with in a few days.
 No explanation of the increase was given by the steel corporations. How ever, it is known that the immigration law has cut off the supply of unskill- ed laborers which formerly drifted to the iron and steel centers. When the labor shortage became acute last spring and the steel industry began to show signs of rehabilitation tenn porary relief was afforded by the em- ployment of men thrown out of work by the coal strike.
 Resumption of coal mining and the increasing demand for laborers in other industries, combined with the expected business revival this fall, is reported to have caused apprehension among mill managers, who feared that the higher wages elsewhere would cause sufficient assertions to hamper their operations at time when there was every prospect for heavily in creased orders.

 An authorized spokesman for the administration declared at the White House during the day, however, that the president was opopsed to a commis sion composed in part or mine own CTS and miners. The Winslow bill would make them ineligible for mem bership, but the oirah measure would leave their selection to the president
 Advised of the stand of the presi- dent and the committees, John L.. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, took hand in the contro- Versy. In telegrams from Philadelphia to Representative Bland, MT. Lewis declared that the Cleveland conference agreement provided for equal represen tation On an investigation commits sion and if the federal government proposed to disregard their rights and privileges in making an independent inquiry, responsibility will, lie with those who recommend such action"

May Swear in More
 Deputies to Avert
 Rioting at Shawnee

WASHINGTON, Aug, 22.- Reports to the department of justice indicate that agitation" of railroad strikers at Shawnee, Okla, is at as high a pitch as any point in the United States, with I. w. w. flaming the flame, At torney General Daugherty Said today Trains are being stopped and the mails are being interfered with to some extent, he added.
 More than 1000 shopmen are out on strike, he said his reports show, and in addition, there are five or six hun dred unemployed members of the local union, who have joined in parades meetings and other demonstrations, which have worked the town up to high pitch" The attorney general has authorized the swearing in of sixty deputy marshals and unless the situa- tion improves additional deputies will be authorized.
 The disorders and trouble through out the coal districts and rail centers in the west, MT. Daugherty said, show that neglect of state authorities in Illinois has been an invitation and cause for disregard for law and this widespread disorder" The federal au- thorities. he said, had no power to take action in Illinois after the Herrin massacre.

CONFAB ACTION MAY BE
 INFLUENCED BY
 DEVELOP WENT TS
Four Surprise Factors Enter Into Situation; Any One May
 Affect Executives Action
SAYS PEACE TALK BUNK
Increase in Steel Workers Wages Viewed as Point in
 Their Favor by Men

NEW YORK, Aug. 22-- Four sur prise factors entered into the rail strike situation today, any one of which according to representatives of roads and brotherhoods officials, may vitally influence the action of the Association of Railway Executives, when it meets tomorrow to consider peace proposals or mediation with the "big five' brotherhoods. They were:
 l. The announcement that presi- dents of three eastern western roads, Samuel Req of the Pennsylvania; E.. E. Loomis of the Lehigh Valley and w. Bester, of the Jersey Central. were expected to arrive from Europe on the Majestic in time to participate of Railway Executives.
 ?. The granting by three large steel corporations of a 20 per cent in- crease in wages to their several hun dred thousand day laborers.
 5. Assertion by l.. F. Loree, presi- dent of the Delaware and c Hudson, chairman of the eastern presidents conference, that predictions of a strike settlement and peace in the in- dustry were "all bunk"
 4. Announcement that several brotherhood chiefs are enroute from the west with practical proposals for settlement of the shopcrafts' strike which. they will submit to rail execu- tives if all other peace advances fail.
 Heads of the railway executives re- fused to comment on the unexpected arrival of the three eastern presidents Their return on the same boat, and in the midst of>the present crisis, was admittedly significant, however, espe- cially since their respective vice pres idents have been the nucleus of the group which, in conferences of the national association, has consistently fought against any peace plan which included reinstatement of strikers with seniority rights unimpaired. The decision of the steel corporations to raise the wages of laborers announc- ed just 24 hours prior to the sched- uled meeting of the executives, was hailed by the strikers as point in their favor.
 It not only justified their refusal to accept wage cuts fixed by the rail road labor board, they said, but was ample proof of an impending indus trial boom which would put railroads with their thousands of bad order care more than ever in need of their old repairs forces.
 This wage increase will put con siderable fire in the veins of railroad labor" declared David Williams, sec

ed trio, has not been established. The trio, who said the schooner had slipped away after selling them a dory for S25 and letting them row ashore. declared the small boat had been swamped on touching the beach in the high sea. and also had been abandoned.
 From the fact that the schooner was unmarked and the reticence of the skipper, Major Smith inferred. that she was liquor smuggler, many of which have been reported off the coast of Long Island. He added that they had been told the crew looked like Cubans.
 "I have not yet read the entire story" said Mir. Parsons, but have read enough to believe that an investi- gation is necessary. It will be started at once and We will complete it be- fore we make any reports"
