car strike Situation

NEWARK, Aug. 16-No indication
of any attempt by the Public Service
railway company to place their troll
ley cars in service and forestall the
threatened court action of the Public
Utility Commission, set for 10 o'clock
tomorrow, was made by the trolley
company officials today. Public cffi-
cials held the view that the COM
pany will do nothing toward fur
nishing service on their lines, on
which a strike of $500 trolleymen
has been in effect over two weeks,
until their settlement plan is ready
for presentation to the commission
and to the public. This plan was
said today as likely to be ready early
next week.
In anticipation of the Public Util-
ity Commission going to the Supreme
court tomorrow at ten o'clock for a
writ of mandamus to compel the
company to resume service, Attorney
General McCran today arranged with
Chief Justice Gunmere of the court
to hear the application. The latter
will be made at the courthouse here
il the company fails to heed the
commissions order.
The only word from company Off
cials today was the announcement by
President O'Toole that the set
tlement plan would probably be
ready Monday or Tuesday. He would
say nothing concerning the details of
the settlement plan.

COAL FARLEY
IS RESUMED
Commission Equipped With
Provisional Agreement to
Prevent interruption

NEW YORK, Aug. .16 (By The
Associated Press) )-Miners' union
officials and representative of am
thracite coal operators went into
conference again today with the
United States Coal Commission
equipped with a provisional agree
uleIt looking to a continuation OF
anthracite coal mining after Septem-
Der l. That there were still obsta-
cies to be overo ONE, however. be-
fore an assurance of averting an
other interruption in anthracite
production, appeared very early in
the course of the discussion.
John L. Lewis, as president of the
United Mine Workers, notified the
that the union was pre-
pared to accept the operators agree
ment made last night TO abandon the
CHECK off" system entirely. whether
for collection of items of indebted
ness held against the miners by their
or for collection of union
dues.
At the same time. Mr.. Lewis told
the commission, that in offering to
resume wage negotiations for new
contract which would fix wages and
terms of employment in the anthra-
cite regions, the union would not
agree to let the mines operate after
September l if a contract agreement
had not been perfected by that date.
Samuel d. Warriner. chairman OF
the anthracite operators policy CON-
mittee, in notifying the commission
of the operators readiness to aban-
don completely the ''check-off" sys-
tenn, took the position that the
miners would agree to end the threat
of suspending anthracite operation
1.
This difference in the attitude of
the two groups was presented fully
to the coal commission As on yes
terday, the federal agency met sep
arately with the operators first and
later with the union representatives.
Both Mr.. Warmer and President
Lewis withheld any public state
ments concerning the negotiations.

WAN TED HERE,
IS SENTENCED
Man Who Figured in Pawn
shop HoId-up Sentenced in
New York Court

Before Judge Koenig in the Sec
ond Criminal court, Part 2, General
Sessions, New York City, yesterday,
William Dineen, alias Soseph Nc
Carthy, wanted by Detective John
Murray of the local police depart
ment for participation in the PERL
muter pawnshop store holdup early
this year, pleaded guilty to an at
tempted robbery charge preferred
by Detectives Nancy and Flood of
the New York department. He was
sentenced to serve from three to six
years in Sing Sing, and an addition
al sentence may be added today on
a concealed weapon charge.
Since the day the holdup was COM
mitted Detective Murray has worked
to bring Dineen, who escaped on the
day of the holdup, into the Middle
sex county court. Joseph Davis,
alias Parker and Flanagan, the sec
ond man in the early morning hold
up, was arrested by Police Chauffeur
William Clooney some distance from
the scene of the crime, and after
standing trial was convicted and SEN
fenced to serve from six to twelve
years in state prison.
Dineen was a short time later ap-
pretended in New York on similar
charge and Detective Murray started
the usual extradition course in an
effort to bring the man to Jersey for
a greater offense. With the assist
ance of witnesses the detective was
successful in identifying the man as
the person wanted here, but the New
York department decided to push its
case first. Detective Murray was in
New York yesterday, and it has been
made known that the prisoner will
be extradited after serving the New
York term.
