DANGERS
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. High
way Arm to Divert Vehicles
Under r. r. Tracks

The Prince Georges County I'm.
prcvement and Protective Associa.
ton last night enthusiastically in.
dorsed the plan to divert a section
OF the Washington Bal fillmore High
way under the railroad tracks In the
heart of Hyattsville. thus elininat-
ing dangerous grade crossings now
being used.
The Endorsement was made at the
regular seminoptfly meeting OF the
association, in the American Legion
Hall, Hyattsville. The plan will now
be submitted to the mayor and COM
mon council of Hyattsville, and to
various communities along the BIa-
densburg road. for approval. In
indorsing the plan, the association
directed It's executive committee to
place the matter before the Mary
land State Roads Commission.
Particularly Dangerous
The present highway. the extern
sion Of Maryland avenue northeast,
crosses the Baltimore and Ohio
and Washington Railway and Elec.
trio Company tracks just north OF
Wells street, Hyattsville. 1t Is not
only particularly dangerous cross
ing. with both railroad and trolley
traffic to contend with, but trains
pass so frequently that motor traf-
fic Is badly interrupted.
Another grade crossing block
to the east, on the Alexandria
branch of the Baltimore and Ohio,
also eliminated by the plan, will
mean a new route into the town
Of Edmonston, whose mayor and
council have already Endorsed the
plan.
This plan also provides for the
proposed opening of Rhode Island
avenue to Mt. Rainier. giving an
other direct route between Wash
ington fed Baltimore.
Highway Arm Planned
Under the proposed and Endorsed
system, new arm of the Baltimore
highway. two blocks long, would be
constructed northeast from Wells
street, along the railroad tracks,
going under them and joining the
main highway two blocks north, at
Marion street. A branch ,ef this
would go under the Alexandria
branch of the railroad, thus elimi.
mating two grade crossings.
This highway is more than 100
years old: Is an important link be-
tween Washington and Maryland,
and has been partly maintained and
improved by District of Columbia
funds. Merchants and residents
of northeast Washington are much
interested in the proposed route,
while residents of outlying Mary.
land towns have long sought relief.
The Northeast Washington Bust
ness Association is strongly sup
porting the improvement plan.

OPERATORS ASK
ARBITRATION
ON STRIKE
Firm Stand on Issue Advised
by Negotiations Group in
Anthracite War
BY international News service

PHILADELPHIA, "a, aug. -.
decision of the anthracite mine
operators to take firm sta1d fer
arbitration has aroused the hos
tility of the miners representa-
tives. They announced today that
under no circumstances will arbi-
tration be considered.
This is the latest development in
the strike war row raging between
the operators and miners.
The operators negotiations COM
N1,ittee, of which w. w. Inglis is
chairman, gave out a statement
late Yesterday following a prolonged
conference, which recommended
that the operators maintain u firm
stand for arbitration of the pres
emit differences to prevent a re
currence Of Interruptions such as
the one about to start. Z
Text Of Statement
The statement follows, which
voiced the unanimous sentiment
OF the operators:
I'm view Of the present situation
your committee strongly recon-.
Inends that the operators maintain
a firm stand for arbitration of the
present differences, to prevent a
iAcurrence Of interruptions such AZ
the one about to start. 1t believes
that any settlement effected should
be OF q permanent nature provind.
ing for readjustment Of the wage
scale from time to time to allow
OF prices for our product that win
enable II to move freely in com.
petitIon with other fuels"
While no definite statement was
made at the miners headquarters
here, the operators statement was
not received with any degree Of
welcome, according to one Of the
officials at the headquarters. The
miners professed to see in the op.
orators stand an effort to bring
about compulsory arbitra ton, and
to this they are unalterably OPP
posed.
Tho suggestion Of sliding scale
also fails to find any reception in
the union camp, where the miners
stamp 1t 40 utterly isnpractlcable.
Big Surplus on Hand
The strike In the anthracite coal
mines will last about two months,
when the force Of public opinion
will force either the miners or
operators to crack" government
officials said today.
In the meantime the country IL
sitting pretty with regard to its
coal supply. A government survey
indicates that the country has the
largest surplus Of hard and soft
coal In bins and storage yards 1t
has had in the past ten years.
There Ia no danger OF o fuel
famine for months to come. strate-
gic points like the Great Lakes
region and New England having
ample SUPPLIES to tide them over the
strike period. officials said.
No sharp advance in coal prices
is anticipated as q result of the
strike. Seasonal advances will BE-
made, but any attempt TO create
panic" prices will be sternly met
by Government agencies, it was in
dictated.
Rumors that John L. Lewis
would call out the bituminous
miners to help win the anthracite
fight were discounted here today.
The Jacksonville agreement, under
which the bituninous union miners
are working. does not expire until
1927.
Amy attempt to call out the
bitpminous miners to aid their
brethren in the anthracite fields
would defeat it's own ends" a high
official said.

entity as sane as can be- He is a ma
tive of Alsace-Lorraine. and told
the doctors that he visited his old
home last year, remaining there for
several months.
The doctors stated that Walter,
if allowed his liberty, and posses
sion of gun, is likely to kill some
body in the event he believed them
to he one of his mysterious grand

commended that he be placed under
