that Boand was trying to escape when

Boland was a popular figure, and

Lewis was unable TO give any ex-

operators to break up the conference.
He said that all the miners representa-

operators on that date Intended to hand

minds.
In discussing what happened Mr.. War
riner said that operators had gone far
beyond anything requested OF them by

the miners. He expressed the opinion
that it would be bad business Judg

ACCEPT MINE PEACE
Strike Has Been Settled i'm
Both States on Basis of
Cleveland Agreement.
MEN START BACK All ONCE
Maximum Production Expect
ed Speedily-Pits Ready
for, Operations.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.--The coal strike in
Illinois is over after l44 days. The
subcommittee of six--three operators
and three miners-delegated to reach
an agreement ironed out all differences
to-day and united on wage contract
on the basis of the Cleveland agreement.
This bettlement was submitted with
little delay to the joint meeting OF op-
orators and miners for ratification after
both sides separately had passed upon It.
Immediately after the signing of the
peace agreement Frank harrington
president; Harry Fishwick, ,><vice-
dent, and Walter Nesbit, secretary OF
the Miners Union. dispatched $50 ele-
grams to the various locals in tho State
instructing the men to return 10 wcriS
as soon as the operators opened the
mines.
In several down State mines the pits
had been prepared for resumption OF
mining at once Tho mules were low
cred into the mines to-day, and in soma
pits work was started at once.
Look for Big Output MT Once.
Il am glad it's over" said Mr.. FAR
rington. w. X. Kavanaush, spolies-
man for the operators. asscnted to this
view.
Il am very much pleased that the
struggle is at an end" he said. I'VE
made a hard fight, and we surrendered
because 1t was a wise thing to do. Tho
public simply demanded coal"
The settlement marks n victory for
the miners The operators not only
failed to reduce wages, but lost their de-
mand for an arbitration OF disputed
points. President Harrington also was
overruled In his desire for a separate
agreement by the insistence Of the inem-
bers of the scale committee. He sought
to bring n settlement effective until
April /. 1924
Forecasts from authoritative sources
were that the former maximum daily
production of 100000 tons would be.
reached within ten days. This figure
was expected to continue for two weeks,
when. it was prophesied, shortage Of
railroad equipment, due to the shop
mems strike. might force cutting OF pro-
duction. or at least OF shipments as low
as 100000 tons a day
To offset the shortage of equipment,
however, 1t was announced that coal has
been given priority on all open top cars
to such degree that it will virtually mean
their exclusive use for coal for gome
time. Ordinarily these also are used
for sand. brick, gravel and other build
ing materials.

ISOLATED Press) Soon after announces
ment was made that the coal strike in
Illinois had been settled. hundreds of
persons thronged the streets OF West
Frankfort and the town took on the.
appearance similar to that following the

mines OF the vicinity employ $500 men.
The Orient mine employees more than

Ireland Sees Debt step.

Dublin, Aug. 2s.
The injunction obtained by Michael
Collins, acting for the Provisional Gov
ernment whereby he succeeded in re-
straining Eamon de Valera and others
from drawing on the Irish Republican
funds deposited in banks in New York.
might be considered as the first step by
the new Irish Government in prepara-
ton to assume all the debts which are
to be paid shortly, incurred in behalf
Of the Dali Eireann PRIOR to the treaty.
The present Government regards itself
as the successor Of the old Dali Eireann
and therefore has made itself liable to
redeem the bonds issued by the Friends
of Ireland here, in America and other
countries. Roughly $6,0o0,6 was bor-
rowed in America and 10000 here.
The Injunction is regarded here as not
rejecting in any way on De Valera's
integrity. Reports circulated in America
that he becamesrich there and bought a
fine house in Dublin likewise are with
out foundation.
Officials here are highly pleased over
the court decision, considering it tanta-
mountl to recognition of Ireland's state-
hood.
