French Advance After
Fierce Fight With Riffs

Paris.-Some of the fiercest fight
ing Of the whole campaign marked the
attack by the French Nineteenth army
corps on the Branes tribe north of
Taxa. The rebels, strongly backed by
small groups of Riffian regulars, oc-
cupied an extremely we'll organized
system of trenches and, despite the
terrific aviation and artillery bonn
bardment they have sustained for the
last week, they were determined not
to cede an inch. Largely through the
aid Of tanks, for the Sirocco handi-
capped the aviation except in the
early morning hours, the infantry
gained the first days detectives, ad-
vancing three miles over a front Is
miles long.

10000 MINERS
ARE ON STRIKE
Hard Coal War Begins in
PennSyIUdnio-Both Sides
Deny Blame.

Philadelphia.-The anthracite strike,
100 per cent tieup, is on. Begin
ming at three O'clock Monday, when
$4,000 hard-coal diggers, from Ly-
kens south to Scranton, laid down
their tools, it became fully effective at
midnight, the official time set for the
walkout, when $4,000 additional men
left their jobs.
Eight thousand men are remaining
in the pits to maintain machinery and
man the pumps to keep the diggings
clear of water.
The suspension order shuts down
1923 mines and 272 cOllieries owned by
135 companies.
The operators estimate that their
overhead during the strike will
amount to approximately 100000 a
day.
The strike has resulted from de-
mands Of the men for 10 per cent
wage increase for contract miners, 81
day more for day workers, and the
checkOff.
III dudIIIOIl " the specific luCIcdSSS
asked and the checkOff. the men have
asked some two score changes in
working conditions.
Responsibility for the strike is dis
claimed both by the miners and the
operators.
Dispatches from Swampscott stating
that John Hays Hammond, former
chairman of the United States coal
commission, urged President Coolidge
to press for congressional approval of
the federal coal commissions recon-
mendations were read with interest
by both miners and operators.
In the opinion of the miners, the
coal commissions recommendations
If enacted into law, would set up a
semi-regulatory board by which the
industry would be required to file
complete records and statistics relat-
ing to investment, volume of sales,
sales margins, profits and costs.
The report calls for an inquiry to
be made by the President prior to a
strike and virtually establishes quasi
compulsory arbitration.
