Ehmke Greatly Feared by
american League BGtSHIeH

NEW YORK, Dec. l4.-Who viii
win the most games IN the American
league next summer, Howard
Ehmke or Rip Collins?
These two players figured IN the
trade between Detroit and Boston.
Ehmke seemed 10 have outlived his
usefulness with Detroit. Collins
on the other hand. was just striking
his stride at Boston. He won his
last six starts.
Despite the fact that Ehmke viii
be with the cellar champions and
Collins with a first division club,
American league players who drop
ped IN 10 the league meeting here,
seem TO think Ehmke VIII make
the best showing.

COAL STRIKERS

No Provision For Their Re-
lief Made By Or

TO MAKE SACRIFICES
Yice-President of Miners Union Says
Fight In Connellsville Region is for
Recognition

Pittsburg, April 14.-There isn't
lot of relief in sight for the striking
miners in the uon-union fields around
Connellsville, Uniontown and Browns
vile, so far as the United Mine Work
ers' organization is concerned. FOOD
and clothing and housing and money
are only dim prospects if the strike
continues for any great length Of time.
The union has no definite plans now
for furnishing any of these things TO
the thousands brought into their
ranks from the non-union mines of the
Connellsville region.
This was made fairly clear here
today in a talk which The Sun cor
respondent had with Patty" (P. To-
Fagan. vice-preSdent of the miners
union and the man who is directing
union operations in the CoRnellsvil!e
region. Pagan talks glOwingly OF the
support which, if needed, will come TO
the miners from the railroad workers
the clothing workers and other
branches Of organized labor. But ne
laws more stress on the statements
and repeats the statement ever 50 OF
ten-that, in the Irwin and West
moreland strikes of 1910 and 1911, the
"miners went for three months with
out asking relief. He expects and
lets it be known that he expects. the
ConnellSville region miners to do the
same thing, if necessary.
The writer asked Pagan what the
strike, so far as the nOnunion ne!ds
are concerned, was all about. The
union leaders was asked what was
the definite aim Of the men who walk
ed from the nonunion mines and coke
ovens at the behest of his organi&a-
ton. He was asked what it was
hoped would be gained for these men.
He was asked also why the employees
left the employers without making a
single demand on those employers and
without even asking for a parley 10
formulate demands.
All Of these questions Pagan ans
wered generally. He answered none
of them definitely or directly.
1--WE will formulate our demand
he said, in reply to a question as to
the exact nature of the demands so far
as the nonunion Conncllsville region
was concerned. "The men will get
together and map out the things they
will demand from the operators be
fore they will return to work This
will all be done in time.

Hundreds of Families Rend-
cred Homeless In Sub
urb of Norfolk
3 STEAMERS BURN
Area Destroyed is Il Mile Long and
Two TO Four Blocks Wide-Loss
S1,250,000

Norfolk, Va, April 14-Fire which
swept through a section of Berkley,
suburb of this city. yesterday after
noon in the abandoned plant of the
loss estimated at S1,250,000, rendered
$4,000 persons, principally negroes,
homeless and destroyed three steam
ers in the river. Several persons were
hurt, but none, so far as is known,
fatally.
The blaze started late IN the after
noon in the abandoned plant of the
Tunis Lumber Company, on the south
ern branch of the Elizabeth river.
Famed bv a nigh easterly wind it
spread rapidly, and despite the efforts
of Marines and sailors from the Navy
Yard and the fre-fghting apparatus
from all the cities and towns in the
vicinity, spread until ii had swept
over an area one mile in length, aver
aging from two to four city blocks in
width.
Most Of the houses in the path Of
the flames were the homes OF negroes,
though Baptist church and two rub
lie school buildings were destroyed,
as were the homes of about 30 whites.
One block on Liberty street was des-
troyed.
SO rapidly did tke fire spread that 1t
was impossible in most cases for the
residents OF the burned area to carry
their goods to safety, few now haviRs
more than the clothing they wore.
The school houses in Berheicy have
been thrown open as houses of refuge
for the homeless, but much suffering
Is feared.
At one time there were nine sep
crate fires raging; the huge gas tank
of the municipal gas plan, was n1pnac-
cd, but the gas was pumped out and
danger from this source averted.
Several firemen, among them a. 7.
Satchell. who was taken to st. Vim
cents Hospital. were overcome with
smoke. Another fireman had his hand
cut.
Sadie Simmons. ncgress, who was
confined to her bed with tiveday-old
baby, jumped from the second story
Of her home with her infant in her
arms. She broke her left arm, but
the baby was unhurt.
The wife of wat hman at the run
is docks discovered the fire from a
houseboat. on which she and her hus-
band have been living. The watch
man being i'll, she took him ashore IN
a rowboat and then utrned in an
alarm at about 4:30 o'clock
The wind carried the sparks from
the mill 20 several houses nearby. In
side Of half an hour an area of half
a mile was in flames and by 6 o'clock
it appeared that a clean sweep would
be made from one river to the other
through the three or four blocks which
made the path Of the fire.

Vote on Navy

the Naval Appropriation bill was
halted in the House yesterday by the
death of Representative Samuel NJ.

vote on the personnel section of the
measure now may not come before
Saturday or Monday. The House ad-
iourned soon after it convened today
i'm honor of the memory of the
North Carolina legislator.
Meanwhile there was a survey of
the situation by both factions and Il
became apparent that the Macarthur
amendment for a navy of $4,000 men
instead of the $1,000 strength author
lied by the committee bill is gain
ing favor
Members of the large rennsyl-
vania delegation met and after a dis
cussion it was announced that 81
members of the delegation had de-
cided to vote for the amendment for
a navy of $4,000 men. Informal
conferences among New England
and Atlantic seaboard delegations
were said to have developed a grow
inc sentiment for the Macarthur
amendment. Mr.. Macarthur himself
figures that he now has enlisted ap.
prOXimately two hundred votes
which is about half the strength OF
the House with all members pres
ent and ordinarily will carry any
question because Of the custOmar:
