Majority of Coal
Mines Will Be
Ended Tonight

Coal production in America
dropped toward the zero
mark today as miners began
quitting and joining the great
walkout. scheduled to be 100
per cent effective at mid
night.
However. there were de-
velopments which indicated
the tieup will not be so COM
plete as the united mine
workers assert.
The Kansas industrial court
ordered men in its jurisdic-
ton to remain at work. Lon
ME Jackson. president of the
scale committee in the Evans
vile, Ind. district, told his
men TO stay at work pending
drawing up of a new wage
agreement.
Operators of the six states
in the trans-Mississippi dis
trict were considering reopen
ing their mines Immediately
after the union men go out,
possibly under open shop con-
ditions.
In Washington the house
labor committee had before it
a resolution urging President
Harding to call a miners -op-
orators conference to avert
or shorten the strike.

Ted CKtd'0 Lewis, who has created a furor among the fighters through Eu- rope since leaving our shores was re- gently matched to meet his old rival, Jack Britton for the welterweight cham pionship of the world at Madison Square Garden on October 1s Lewis in all his former matches with Britton made the same mistake as Benny Leonard did, when he met Britton, of training in the New York city gymnasiums, and he ca- bled his old pal Dick Friedman. who ac- companied on all his trips to the other side to look for the best training uuar- ters obtainable. Friedman announces that on his arrival here he will go to H. Heller's private home, at Nine Springs Uncasville, just outside of New London. Friedman asserts that in all his travels through Europe and this country he never saw a more ideal train ing spot and says that Lewis will be in the best shape of his career for the old veteran.
