BLACK" COAL
U. S. Workers Help to
Defeat Miners
BY GORDON cAscADEN.

NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 27.-Tens Of
thousands of tons of coal to break
the British miners strike are being
shipped from Baltimore and Hampton
Roads every day. For months the
largest coal loading piers In North
America have continued working day
and night. Sunday and holiday and
ordinary weekday are all alike In this
gigantic effort of Premier Stanley
Baldwin of the British Empire, COM
mandant of the anti-labor army, to
deliver q smashing blow to British
unlonism.
Fifty-nine ships passed in and out
Of the Virginia Capes inside two days,
only one lone schooner being in the
list, Nearly all are engaged in the
effort to supply "scab' coal.
During the last week 1O7 ships en-
tered and cleared from Norfolk and
Newport News. This number does
not include United States ships bound
from one American port to another.
More than 100 ships are now in
Hampton Roads, and only fve OF them
are schooners.
A majority Of the ships are OF Brit
ish registry, altho Norway and Italy
are well represented. The ports Of
destination, for the most part, are
in the British Isles. Several of the
ships, however, sail for Italy and
South America. The cargoes, of
course, are ahke-coal, coal, coal.
The amount OF coal exported thru
Norfolk during the last week is es-
timated at more than 100000 tons.
This figure does not include coast
Wise shipments. Newport News also
held It's own IN coal shipments during
the same period
For the first three weeks of Sep
TENDER, IS ships carried 416,4S7 tons
Of coal from Baltimore, two-thirds Of
its going to the British Isles.
Large steamship lines are begin
ming to enter the coal carrying trade,
the high coal freight charter rate be-
ing an inducement The rate last
week was S6.25 a ton with pros
pect Of $3.50 a ton if the strike con
tinues. Time-chartered boats willing
to re-let for early October coal to the
British Isles will ask and get %
shillings, almost $500 according to
a New York financial report
This inducement Is leading the At
lantic Transport Line, one of the
largest branches OF the International
Mercantile Marine, to enter the coal
carrying trade. Pierpont' Morgan and
other United States capitalists, along
with their British brothers, are
financially interested in these ships.
The Missouri, one OF the largest
Atlantic Transport liners, arrived
here a few days ago from Antwerp to
load coal for Birkenhead, England.
She is being followed by the motor
ship, Mississippi and the Maryland
All three have hitherto been used ex-
clusively IN line service for freight
The Missouri has bean laid up for
Is months and the Mississippi for
three years.
Other ships, with names familiar
70 those who follow the sea, are being
markedly placed In commission to aid
Baldwin and international capital TO
force the children, women and men
OF Britain's mining sections into sub
mission.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 2S.-General
Obregon's iron nerve and ingenuity
stood him in good stead when the
train in which he was travelling was
held up by an army Of rebeuious In
dian catholics at Vicam in the PROV
ince of Sonora.
General Oregon was warned before
boarding the train in Nogales that the
Indians We're restless, but he decided
to make the journey with an escort OF
$50 inexperienced soldiers. Another
detail Of troops was ordered to Buay-
mas to await developments. When the
train reached Vicam armed Yaquds
surrounded the coaches, explaining to
General Oregon that Chief Matu de-
sired to confer with him regarding the
fate Of Chief Rivera and 80 Yaquis
who had been arrested. General Obre-
gon refused, but sent message to
the governor of the state asking for
information regarding the chief.
Delayed Proceedings.
For two hours General Oregon me-
gotiated with the Yaquis, seeking
every means of delaying the proceed
ings. Women and children aboard the
train were placed in upper berths
when it became dark andNthe troops
we're distributed to the best advantage
around the train.
In the meantime the Yaquis had dug
trenches on either side of the train
and were becoming more threatening.
A message then arrived from the gov
ernor, indicating that Chief Rivera
had been released. The Yaquis were
not satisfied and requested General
Obregon to illuminate the train. He
refused and promised to meet any at
tack with machine guns, altho he had
no such weapons available.
Retired from Trenches.
The Indians lined up to attack just
as violent storm broke, causing them
to retire to the trenches, which soon
were flooded. At 4 a. m. the rain
ceased and the Yaquis reoccupied the
trenches and were preparing again to
attack when another train approached.
The Indians supposed it to be Chief
Rivera, but the train contained Gen.
eral Manzo and reinforcements. A.
railroad torpedo was exploded by the
approaching train and both sides
opened fire.

piece of satire on war, but in his

a very old wheeze about the alleged

Fables Circulated.

All sorts of stories about the good
air and water which the miners are
enjoying in their tomb on the eighth
level are being given out by the Of
icials, but the miners state the air
and water and light and phone con-
nections are all shattered in the
cave-in. and that the men cannot live
long In the blasting powder smoke
and gas damp.
There is no explanation Of why the
safety dogs" on the cage did not
keep the cage from plunging almost
half a mile to the bottom of the shaft
when the cavern occurred.
The cave-in occurred at 1880 a.
m. on Friday and it was covered up
by the officials so that no word of it
got onto the Associated Press wires
at Ironwood which did not close un-
til three o'clock in the afternoon.
The only official who could be
reached during the night, when ques-
toned about the cave-in, said:
This is hell of time to wake a
man up"

Shaft Very Old.

The G shaft is 40 years old and
miners state that they have reported
conditions to the mine captains who
have taken them UP with the higher
ups. The cave-in came when the
shaft was not sufficiently supported
to withstand the heavy rains of the
past three weeks.
Another lie found in the United
Press reports was that white-collar-
ed clerks and officials were among
those engaged in rescue work. Ask
