Actor Master Into
Orchestra Pit

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. g.
Jack Belmont, Of Montreal, ap-
pearing in a local theater in .
"mule act" failed to put his
act over when the mule baked
and kicked him for a free pass
to the Pennsylvania Hospital.
Belmont, who is said to have
been putting the act over sue
cessfully in various other cities,
was to have made his initial
appearance in this city.
Rufus" the mule, is said to
have made a hit with every
crowd that witnessed the act.
However, last night the pet
apparently was not in the best
Of humor, and when the young
actor attempted to make it go
through its regular stunts it
baked. Belmont pleaded with
Rufus to put the number across,
but to no avail. Losing pa
thence, he walked to the rear Of
Rufus and it was then that the
spectators were given real
thrill. Rufus let loose with
both hind heels and Belmont
was thrown in a heap down
into, the orchestra pit. Stage
hands subdued the mule.

NON.UNION MINERS SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
One Killed and One Wounded at Kentucky Labor Fight

Pineville, Ky, April 4.--Labor trou- hie, brewing for weeks at the mines of the Liberty Coal and Coke com- pany on Straight Creek, has come to a head today. George Lucas is dead and Edward Dishman, wounded, vic tim of fuslllade of bullets directed from mountain side late yesterday by hidden rifilemen. The men, both from Virginia, were among the con- pany's non-union employees.
 The shooting. the second time re- gently. according to company officials that their men have been subjected to rolley from the mountain side, was the culmination of series Of changes in the operation of the mines. County officials initiated an investiga- tion.
 Last November the. company asked its miners whether they would agree 10 continue work under & return to the 1917 union wage scale or have operations suspended. The question was given to an arbitration board, but no decision was reached. Mines thR were closed for a period. Then an- nouncement was made than opera tions would be resumed on & non union basis. with the 1917 union scale as basis of pay.
 Some of the former employees re- turned to work for the company. Others refused to reenter the mines Recently number of non-union workers were brought in, including a number of Virginiais. Eviction mo- bces were posted, informing occupants of company houses at the camp they must return 10 work or move out Soon after this the high power rifles cracked high up on the mountainside and workers were forced to scurry to cover. No one was hurt.
 Tuesday the company obtained an injunction in federal court at Frank fort prohibiting interference with op- eration of its mines or molestation of workers. And Thursday the hidden rillemen laid down a second, and deadly barrage.
