 Prisoner

Dublin, July 2.-The national troops were victorious in the battle in Dublin today. Early in the evening they opened with a heavy fire and several rebel strongholds were cap tured, together with nearly. 400 prisoners.
 An official bulletin issued tonight says: Thirty irregulars who occupied Moran's hotel are now in our hands. as is also the section bounded by Talbot, Purdon, Amies and Gardiner streets"
 General Ennis telephoned at S:s0 that the irregulars have been driven from eight positions they held.
 A fresh outbreak of firing occurred in many parts of Dublin and through out the city there has been in- creased activity by the nationals and heavy concentrations at tactical points.
 "All quiet" is the significant re- port in Limerick.
 Prisoners Taken
 Official bulletin issued at general headquarters late tonight describes the evening operations of the na- tional troops. They advanced in three directions attacking the positions held by the irregulars, driving out the occupants and taking some prls- oners. It specifics certain buildings occupied and says that during the operations several ground mines laid by the irregulars were exploded.
 A tunnel, apparently for the pur- pose of escape, was found parallel to Parnell Square. Many of the insur- gents escaped.
 It confirms the capture of Mo- r7n,s Hughes and McArthur's ho- gsis lth II prisoners. The irregu- lar= eA still In possession of hotels

BITUMINOUs COAL
 PRODUCTION LESS

Washington, July 2.-Bituminous coal production in districts operating notwithstanding the miners strike showed slight falling off last week on account of railroad congestion. the geological survey reported today The figure of 5,Se1 1000 tons reached by the output for the week ending June "A. it was said, was not likely to be exceeded by the latter period totals, though anthracite productiou which was stopped completely by the walkout April 1, recovered very slightly and furnished railroads ap- proximately 24.Oo0 tons for shipment during the week.
 The continued expansion" of non union soft coal production in certain areas in Kentucky and southern finally has taxed the capacity of railroads serving them. While cars were available. temporary embargoes against new coal trains were en- forced during periods of the week to allow yards and tracks to be cleared.
 Further gains in output are not to be expected" the survey com mented. except as mines hitherto closed by the strike resume opera tion"
 Railroads. however, were again clearing their lines toward the end of the week, and on Thursday, the latest day reported. 16,641 cars of coal were loaded, compared with It, 769 Wednesday. Considering the practically complete stoppage of an- thracite and the partial stoppage of bituminous production the survey estimated that the quantity of fuel being mined was between 5000, 00o and s,0oo.ooo tons under the normal weekly output.

 Average earnings of car mon are quoted as being 16.6 cents an hour less than in May, 1920. but buying power Is given as 9.2 per cent greater for the same reason.
 The $135, ,000 wage cut made ef- fective yesterday Is divided as fol- lows:

 Buying Power Higher
 According to labor statistics, com mon labor on maintenance of way in 1917 averaged 193 cents an hour. It was chopped cents and now averages 32.7 cents, an increase of about 70 per cent in coin and 40 per cent greater in buying power than the 1917 wage scale. Clerks in 1917. the boards table show, received 34.5 ccnts an hour average. Most of them are cut cents and now get 5s.5 cents an hour, this representing 70 per cent more than the hourly rate of 1917 and a purchasing value AT per cent higher.
 Common labor around stations averaged 223 cents an hour in 1917, rose to 52.1 cents in 1920, was cut to 43.6 cents in 1921 and the new rates average 39.6 cents an hour. This, the board contends, Is 77.6 per cent higher than ins 1917 and the purchas- ing value Is 51.7 per cent greater.
 Signalmen, maintainers. and assist ants averaged 32.S cents in 1917. Yes terday's 5-cent cut puts the average at 64.3 cents an hour, the board says, this representing wage figured in actual money 96 per cent higher than in 1917 and having a purchasing power ST per cent higher.
 Stationary firemen, enginemen and alters averaged 21.S cents an hour in 1917 and the latest cut leaves the earnings at 49.6 cents. This Is an increase of 127 per cent in coin and Is 94 per cent greater in buying power. the board maintains.

 The operators arguments against the central competitive field wage negotiations were as strongly ad- vanced today as before. This nego- tiatlon resulted practically In fixing national wage scales, they main- tained, by Illinois. Ohio, Indiana and western Pennsylvania, without re- gard to differences of living costs, mining conditions and transportation facilities in districts whose output had to be sold on competing markets. Further, the increase of non-union coal areas, they said. with wage scales moving up and down flexibly to fit market conditions. would eventually force them out of business if they continued national wage fixing with the union.

 sentative. The communication is not without it's startling features. It charges that railroads deliberately demand their pound of flesh despite their knowledge of the inevitable consequences; and the implication Is left that the attitude of the railroads is based on their determination to eliminate the water trade routes which Congress, at great expense, established. and which the people of the country desire to have main tained.
 The weapon with which the rail roads hold up" the barge line was forged by the railroad administration the last days of its existence. ac cording to the letter, and again the implication Is drawn that this Ld ministration. composed of railroad officials, moved through fondness for railroads. and an intolerance of water competition. The letter cites an illustration of the power of rail roads to destroy the barge line. The demand of the railroads for their share of revenue from joint haul on a bale of cotton. it is said, Is so out of proportion that the result is that the barge line Is required to pay the railroads s2.50 for the priv ilege of hauling the bale.
 Act Next Session
 In explanation of the appeal to Congress rather than the intersta te commerce commission, the letter de- clares that the appeal has been De- fore the commission for two years without result, and that little hops Is based on any action that might be taken because of pro-rail favori- tism alleged already to have been shown by the commission. It is prob- able that the letter will be taken up by Congress in its next session. Unless the barge line can show a profit within another year. it Is be- lieved that the government will
