Approximately 900 coal miners
1uit work last night to enforce new wage
contracts according to union reports
from all bitumnous and anthracite
fields. The idle miners include 500 900
union men and some 100000 non-union
men. according TO union tabulation.
A number Of coal diggers in Illinois
and other places LEFT the mines at the
close Of work yesterday afternoon. al
though the strike began officially at mid
night.
The federal government decided not to
take any action at present. as the situa-
ton was not deemed critical.
The only oasis in the strike area was
Kentucky. where 5000 union men con-
tinued work because their contract runs
another year.
Kansas miners were ordered out de-
spite an order Of the Industrial court
extending the present contract a month.
Union officers ordered $4,000 men to
remain in the mines to protect property
from damages incident to incorporation.
In Canada. the strike is expected to
be effective in the western provinces but
not in the east.
Government reports Indicate goodly
coal supplies on hand, estimated to last
81 days in certain areas at least. Rail-
road officers asserted plans had been
made TO suspend certain freight trains
especially on coal roads. It is estimated
That $4,000 railroad men in Pennsylva-
MIA will be out Of work today as a re-
suit Of the strike.

CARGO OF EXPLOSIVES
SEIZED OFF IRISH COAST

London, March 31.-Raiders today
seized the cargo Of explosives. chiefly
gelignite, aboard an admiralty ship off
the Irish coast and slowed it safely in
some unknown place, according to a des-
patch to the London Times from Cork.
The movement of a large number of
motor lorries, which were Communicated
in Cork Wednesday and driven to an
unknown destination is now explained as
being a part of the coup to intercept the
admiralty vessel. which was due to leave
Cork Wednesday afternoon for Rocky
Island with cargo understood to have
consisted mainly Of geligrite, which was
to have been transported TO England
More than 100 lorres were seen We'd

ton and Youghal. Trees were being
felied behind them across the roads.
probably to prevent pursuit. The belief
was expressed at the time that the
seizures of the lorrles were made by re-
publicans.
AS part of the plan, a tugboat lying
! at the deep water quay, Queenstown, was
| seized by raiders. Her captain was
ashore and the crew apparently was in
timdated. The tugbost. it seems, fol-
lowed the ordnance ship until Baliycotton
was reached, when it overhauled and
captured the ordnance vessel and trans
ferred the cargo to the lorries, which had

day and restored to their owners.
Meantime the naval officials at

STRIKE WILL AFFECT $4,000
RAILROAD WORKERS IN PENN.

New York, March 31.-Eighteen thous-
and railroad workers in the state OF
Pennsylvania will be thrown out of
work tomorrow as a direct result of the
anthracite coal strike Philip Murray,
vice president Of the United Mine Work
ers of America, announced here today.
This, Mr.. Murray asserted, will be
"only a prelude to the far-reaching sus-
pension of industry which is bound to
follow idleness at the mines"
He predicts that the Great Lakes re-
gion. both manufacturing centers and
transportations terminals, will be severe
ly affected in the first few weeks of the
bituminous strike. Inability of lake
carriers to get coal cargoes when the
navigation season opens, April Is, will
be especially felt at the lake ports, he
said.
Officials of the Pennsylvania railroad,
the largest single carrier of anthracite
in that state tonight revealed that plans
for suspension of certain freight trains
were already under way but that crews
would be relieved gradually. The first
trains will be taken off tomorrow, they
said, and others as fast as the present
supply of coal at the mines is distrib-
uted
Other roads where the strike will be
most keanly felt include the New York
Central. the Baltimore and Ohio. the
Chesapeake and Ohio the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western and the Le-
high Valley according to the miners,
officials of these roads declared it would
not be possible for several days to esti-
mate the number of men to be affected
by stoppage of the sources of coal ton
mage.
