BERLIN, September 25.-Minister of
the Interior Sollman today was max
civil war in Germany. Travelling in
cognito, he went to Nueremburg Mon
day night under a heavy guard de-
signed to prevent his assassination,
Land Tuesday afternoon made a speech
appealing to Bavaria to remain loyal
to the national government in this
difficult hour.
The Stresseman government feels
that civil war with Bavaria may come
this week. and every possible military
preparation has been made. Gen. Won
Seeckt. commander in chief of the
national reichswehr, who is regard
ed as the best strategist in Germany,
has completed a plan of campaign
against Bavaria for use, IL necessary.
Situation lis Critical.
The governments announcement
that the cabinet meeting had adopted
all necessary measures to protect the
state from overthrow is indication of
the seriousness of the coming days.
1t is already known that the govern
ment is prepared to proclaim a state
OF siege in the entire Reich.
The cabinet has reason to fear out
breaks from the right and left, which
may require military operations. The
Rayarian premier a week ago made
threats that Bavaria would take ex-
treme measures If the Berlin govern
;ment, under socialist pressure, ac-
cepted humiliating conditions.
was an indication that Bavarian fas-
cisti bands would march with the Ba-
varian reichswehr to "liberate Ber-
lin from socialist pressure"
] The governments only answer must
be the proclamation of a state OF
siege temporarily establishing the au-
thority of Berlin over Bavaria and
other states. To. enforce this author
ity IL might even be necessary to send
refchwehr to Munich. In Strese-
mann's striking phrase. Directorship I
Dictatorship of majority" Dicta-
torship is in the air.
1 German patriots are much impress
ed by the spread of fascism in Italy,
Bulgaria and Spain. They now are
inclined to see Germany's salvation In
ruthless military government.
A dictatorship Is also demanded by
the communists on general principles
and they are steadily gaining influence
over the working class. Undoubtedly
this influence will increase as the truth
becomes clear that passive resistance.
which caused such suffering, was 'use-
| less.
The communists. like the fasciti. are
! organized militarily and they are tarmed
and well led.
/ Ii lis believed by some we'll informed
persons that they have already struck
a bargain dividing Germany into. two
dictatorships-south Germany, including
Bavaria, Baden and Wuerttemburg for
the nationalists,. and the remainder for
story they promised they would not at.

MINT WORKERS ASK
END OF 12-HOUR DAY
Employees at Philadelphia OBJ
ject to Long Shifts and
Small Pay.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September 25
An appeal is to be made to Con-
gress by S. Tyson Kinsell, president
of the Federal Employees Union of
Philadelphia, In an effort to improve
working conditions at the local mint,
where. not being permitted under the
regulations of the United States Civil
Commerce Commission to engage In
politics, 500 workers toll twelve hours
a day and receive less than steve
dores for highly technical labor.
One OF the excuses for the order
creating, this condition is the imme-
diate need of coming small change
for the greatly increased demand.
Handle Millions n Year.
1t is generally admitted by govern
ment authorities that because they
are not political pawns.' those who
toll over and are trusted with the
precious metal have been showed into
the discard. Most of the men are eX-
pert alloyers and annealers
The meters and coiners at the mint
and copper into current exchange
have no choice as to whether they
VIII work eight hours or twelve
hours: government economy has ruled
that two shifts a day are expedient
The men, in addition to their
metallurgical ability, are men of alb
solute trust. They handle millions OF
dollars in precious metals each year
Must Work Twelve Hours.
They can either work for twelve
hours or get out. In the steel indus
try men toiling over furnaces were
backed by the government. Two in
vestigations were conducted. Presi-
dent Harding made a personal ap-
peal to fifty of the leading men in the
industry and the twelve-hour day
was abolished.
Meters and coiners, some of them
in the service more than twenty years
all of them loyal to the government
for which they toil-receive s6.1s a
day for their services.
That is, they receive s6.1S If they
are experts. If they are rated as
helpers they are paid $3.50. The
laborers at the mint receive approxi-
mately SO day, SIS a week. These
amounts are paid for eight hours
work.
An increase, called Temporary" by
the government, adds 76 cents day
to the wages of each man: All en-
ployes get straight time" and not
"time and a half" for the four hours
of extra work in the heSted melting
rooms.
I'VE cannot have three shifts day,
each eight hours long, because OF
the limited appropriation" Assistant
Superintendent of the Mint Frederick
Chafin said "All of the mints are
suffering from lack of funds, due to
cuts during the recent government
economy drive"

PEKING, September 25.-Dinosaurs
the colossal reptile creatures of a
prehistoric era-laid eggs Ave to six
inches long. And they had nests like
any gentle domestic fowl of today.
The early beasts of Asia and Amer

two continents on the land bridge
that joined them In those remote
times.
These are some of the discoveries
announced by the third Asiatic ex-
pedition of the American Museum of

The party was in Peking today

PARIS, September 25.--Premier
Poincare's next move in view of Ger
many's economic surrender will be to
ask the interallied reparation COM
mission to deal with the new situa-
tion. it was indicated today. AS soon
as the German government. officially
withdraws its resistance. orders direc-
tions will be. sent Gen. Degoutte to
make the Ruhr occupation as nearly
invisible" as possible. .s
The action of the German govern
ment yesterday is not regarded here
as finally clearing the situation in
the Ruhr. The resistance there will
be considered as ended when Berlin
withdraws all orders given the func-
tionaries and people of the Ruhr to
resist the authorities of occupation.
omciaIs Not EIated.
The French prime minister and his
associates in the cabinet appear to
have received the news soberly and
without the thrill which it has given
the French people, the authorities
having long expected the German de-
cision. Premier Poineare. who is at
his summer home in Sampigny. will
return to Paris tonight.
The passing over. of the pending
problems to the reparation commits
sion would be merely a formality,
because the members of the commits
sion can only act upon instructions
from their respective governments.
Consequently ii is forecast that Pre-
mier Poincare's first endeavor will
be to arrive at an understanding
with the British government as to
what shall be done with the new
situation. ...
Hope for Baldyyin's Aid.
1t is hoped here that Prime Minis
ter Baldwin will disregard the past
difference between the two govern
ments and enter into the preparation
OF measures to- deal withfs Germany
from now on, leaving aside the ques-
tion OF the legality of the oecupation

Nimmo Company's colliery, near Fal-
kirk, was flooded.
The water which flooded the pit
broke through the walls Of an ad-
joining pit, which had not been used
for years. The active pit was flooded
SO quickly that there was no oppor-
tunity to warn the miners. They had
no chance to get to the pithead, and
only one man escaped after the in
rush of water began. Relatives
rushed to the pithead, but little hope
was entertained Of saving any OF

SEES FORD OFFER
UNFRAMED SALE
Muscle Shoals Property
Without Gorgas Plant Quite
Desirable, President Says.

Sale of the Gorgas steam power
plant to the Alabama Power Com
pany for approximately three and
half million dollars is held by Presi-
dent Coolidge to have affected in no.
wise the offer of Henry Ford to buy
and lease the Muscle Shoals proper
ties in Alabama.
The President, in discussing with
visitors today the sale of the Gorgas
plant as made yesterday by the War
Department. WAS said to feel that
the remaining property built by the
government IN Alabama during the
war was quite as attractive a propo-
sition fer Mr.. Ford's purposes now as
before the Gorgas plant passed from
government ownership.
Possibility of further negotiations
between the government and Henry
Ford for the purchase OF its remaining
properties at Muscle Shoals hinged to-
cision as to submitting revised offer
excluding the Gorgas steam power
plant.
Sale of the Gorgas plant was made
sions of time. left the government to
reach a decision under the War De-
partment contract with. the power COM
pany requiring that it either move
the plant from the power company's
land or sell 1t to the company.
When Mr.. Ford was summoned to
Washington sometime ago and in
formed that the Department of Justice
and the judge advocate general of the
Army had held the contract valid, he
adVisement Secretary Weeks sugges-
tion that he submit revised bid, ex-
cluding the Gorgas plant. He was
then given to understand that the War
nnrNa -fr,oo NJ -
that the proceeds of its sale be credited
against his proposed initial payment
of S5,o00,00O.
Further Time Requested.
Although Mr.. Ford's engineers
wired request for another extern
sion of time on disposal of the Gorgas
plant, which the power company de-
clined to grant, no revised bid had
been received. During committee
hearings on his offer, Mr. Ford had
previously informed Congress that he
would insist on inclusion of the Cor
gas plant as a condition of purchase.
Secretary Weeks announcement of
the sale said the government had no
other course, since only junk value
would have been realized in removal
of the plant. The actual price of
$3,472.4S725 was the appraisal figure
of War Department and Federal Pow
er Commission experts. The war
time construction cost of the plant
was s4.750,000.
Mr.. Ford's offer for the Muscle
Shoals properties now must undergo
a complete revision. because it has
been forecast that Congress will not
accept a bid which stands at $780,
900. because of the sale of the power
company, |
See Danger In Delay.
While the War Department asked
the company for further extension in
addition to the two previously given.
the company's officers decided that
further delays might have some ad-
verse relation to the company con-
tract rights and refused to grant a
further extension.
