ENGLISH MINERS
 AGAIN ARE UPSET
Labor Dispute Once More to
 the Front

London. Sept. 25 Pl-A recrudes- cence of the troublous days of the summer, when a strike of the coal miners, having the backing of the various trades organizations, seems imminent.
 The miners arc upset over a decis- ion by Premier Baldwin in which he accepted the contention of the mine owners in their dispute with the miners federation of their right to reduce wages in certain regions. The miners contend that his de- cision Is at variance with the agree ment under which the government granted a subsidy of f10,000, GOO to mine owners 10 enable them to maintain the current scale of wages pending an inquiry by a royal com mission into the entire coal situa. ton.
 The immediate fear Is that the present trouble may lead to a cessa ton of activities in the coal industry: but much water will pass under the bridges before such contingency materializes, as the miners will not make a final decision until October 9, when they have called meeting to discuss the situation. Meantime every effort doubtless will be made to settle the trouble satisfactorily to both sides.
 A. J. Cook, secretary of the min CTS federation, and others leaders of the men are in an angry mood. They accuse the premier of having de- liberately broken the terms of the

ELDRIDGE WILL ASK BAN
ON SIDEWALK PARKING
No Regulation Prohibiting Leav-
ing Cars on Pavements, Traffic
Director Explains.

Traffic Director Eldridge today rec.
commended to the Commissioners an
amendment to the regulations pro.
hibiting motor cycles or automobiles
from parking on the sidewalk.
Mr.. Eldridge said that it came to his
attention that on several occasions
policemen found automobiles parked
on sidewalk spaces in outlying Sec
tions. There being no direct prohi-
bition in the regulations to cover such
a case, it was necessary for the Off.
GERS to charge the drivers with park
ing more than six inches from the
curb. This prompted Mr.. Eldridge to
draft a recommendation which would
definitely cover the condition.
A number of other changes have
been submitted to the Commissioners
including an amendment prohibiting
all left-hand turns at Seventh street
and Mount Vernon place. At the
present time the regulation prohibits
the left-hand turn only when vehicles
are going north on Seventh street and
turn west into Mount Vernon place
The changes may be acted on today

Board by President Palmer of the

held the procedure of the Fleet Cor

tested it was irregular.
The Baltimore company was the
highest bidder when the original tend
ers were opened June 80, it's offer be
ing 81, 10000, but this bid was re-
jected by the board, after President
Palmer had urged its acceptance. and
new offers were called for, to be open
ed July IS.
The Baltimore company then with
drew its offer. claiming that only the
original bidders should be permitted
to submit new offers. Henry Ford
was not among those submitting
tenders when the bids were opened
June 80.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Ford to
scrap most of the 200 ships, but he
will retain some for conversion 10
