COAL STRIKE BEGINS

Paralysis of Industry Continues.

Philadelphia, Pa The an
thracite region today began to feel
the aftermath of the mine suspension
which for twenty-four hours has pad
locked its basic industry and demob-

The business paralysis which the
ten anthracite companies faces. in

rails of the roads carrying its coal.
Outbound tonnage is practically clean

shops, and lay off of shopmen, car re-
pairers and train crews on mine runs
have begun to in appearance.
IT- Predictions that at least 10000
railroad men would follow the miners
into idleness by the end of the week
/ because of the suspension appeared
justified in reports that Scanton, Pa,
alone would produce half that many
unemployed. The Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad expects
to close down its Scranton and Keyser
/! Valley shops on Friday, throwing out

announced prospective lay off for
1900 trainmen and has placed in
white lead fifty freight locomotives
used on coal runs in anticipation of a
/ protracted shut down of the mines.
Union leaders of the three districts
are engaged in smoothing out difficult
ties developing in connection with
the work Of the 10000 maintenance
men remaining in the mines by agree
ment with the operators.
! A noticeable movement of mine
workers setting out in search of work

dent of the miners union, has main
tanned silence since the shutdown,
other than to say: Everything is
coming along as l expected"

NO BENEFITS FROM
INCOME TAX PUBLICITY
General Opinion is that No Benefit
Has Come by Nationwide PUB
LEGATION of Income Returns.


New roAx City fnc feet
Of the publication Of income tax pay
ments was being generally discussed
today as millions noted in the news
papers the taxes on President Cool
idge, industrial magnates, movie stars,
baseball players, neighbors and SO on.
!. AS "a result of QUESTIONABLE sub
mitted to sixty collectors of internal
revenue in the principal centers of the
country, the New York Times con-
cludes that it is their general opinion
that publication of paym ents have
had no beneficial effect. 1t was said
there was no increase of revenue
from Adelinquents who might fail to
file returns if publication of pay
ments were prohibited
Despite the fact that the lists furn-
ish insufficient information for an
accurate estimate of persons finan-
cial standing, statesmen, business
rivals, many women and others with
personal interests, jammed revenue
offices with newspaper men.
One of the principal reasons for lack
OF accurate information is the fact
that tax exempt securities offer es-
cape. While the total gross income is
recorded in each return, only the
actual tax paid is made public.
Charley Chaplin, who paid only $345,
is cited as a case in point. The tax
would indicate an income of about
$4,000 year. Others with large in
comes paid nothing, at all. Among
these are j. Ogden Armour, chairman
of the board of directors of Armour
and company; Asa Chandler, million
aire soft drink manufacturer of At
lanta, and John Borden, millionaire
sportsman and explorer.

BOY BANDIT Is
ARRESTED HERE
Police Find Mere Lad With
Stolen Automobile from
Chicago.
SECOND A RUNAWAY

A joy-ride for two Chicago boys in
stolen car ran along for fifty miles
with Ilst thrill Of adventure in it,
and then ended witr s suenss% bump,
actual and figurative when car, boys
and all fell into the hands of the
police here.
Now Roger Joseph Spillane, Is, and
Richard Walsh, IL, both of Chicago,
are under arrest, the former on the
charge of stealing an automobile and
the latter on the charge of being a
runaway from home.
Find Two In Chevrolet.
The arrest of the Iair was made by
Detectives Chase and Tusler of the
police department after an accident
in which the pair figured which oc-
Cured in front Of the Sheridan road
garage about ten o'clock Tuesday
night. The Chevrolet touring car il,
which the lads were riding, collided
with Ford sedan in front of the
garage. That was the first bump
and the arrival Of the police was the
second one, so far as the boys were
concerned.
The two lads were taken down to
the police station and questioned
there with respect to the ownership of
the car. Spillane, the older of the two,
carried a bunch of automobile keys,
which would fit various cars.
Roger Spillane finally told the police
that he had stolen the Chevrolet in
Chicago on Monday night, and kept
it in the alley back of his home until
Tuesday morning. Then he picked up
Richard, perhaps because those names
have had a fatal affinity from nursery
days, as Roger and Richard were two
pretty men, who lay in bed until the
clock struck ten" and so on, although
in the nursery tale they went off with
a nag instead of car.
In spite of the fact that the boys
were both young, they showed "hard-
ness" under arrest that BODIED i'll, for
their future, unless other events
tend to curb them.
