STRIKING COAL
MINERS STAGE
DEMONSTRATION
(Br Dispatch A. p Wire.

SCRANTON, Pa, Feb. 9.-First
massed demonstration of the five
months old coal strike occurred to-
day when 500 miners marched on two
washeries here in protest against hy-
draulic production of coal which their
leader asserted was taking the bread
out of their mouths. They were
dispersed by 25 policemen armed with
sawed off shotguns. None was In
jured.
The police detained three men who
identified themselves as leaders of
the demonstrations but subsequently
released them with warnings. At the
same time Chief of Police Rose an
nounced the establishment of a riot
squad" at police headquarters suffI-
cient to cope with any emergency
that might arise in the future. He
also sent for some tear gas.
Joe Santasario, of Dunmore, who
led the march of the miners, said to-
night that the demonstration was not
intended to be anything peaceful and
that he would make a full report on
it to his district union officials to-
morrow.

nOn-interVentlOn.

On behalf of Coolidge it was said
that he did not see that the senate
action had changed the situation, but
that the resolution of request was
entitled to and would receive consid-
Grafton. 1t was added, however thas
it was only an expression Of opinion
by the senate, not binding upon the
president Also it was stated II the
chief executive had known of any
way to end the anthracite suspension,
he would have acted long ago. He
had come to the conclusion, however.
that the government to intercede in
the situation might serve ~only to ag-
gravate matters.
The senate resolution, offered Feb
ruary 8, by Senator Copeland, demo-
crat, New York, was adopted 80 to
21, after the senate twice had re-
fused to consider it, once by a vote
of 48 to 2S, and again by a vote of
43 to 38.
Republican stalwarts joined with
the democrats and republican insur-
gents in voting for the measure The
two republican senators from Penn
sylvania, as well as several from
New England, supported IHS IeSVAu
tion after having twice voted against
considering it.
Twenty-six republicans, twenty
eight democrats and one farmer
labor senator voted in the affirmative
and 10 republicans and two democrats
voted against it.
The senate resolution merely re-
quests the president to call the oper-
ators and miners to the White
House in an effort to get them to-
gether on settlement. Before 1T
was adopted it was amended at the
suggestion of Senator Reid, republi-
can. so that the president would act
at such time as he thinks best.
Several new moves in the coal sit
uation were made in the house dur
ing the day.
Among these was the introduction
of a bill similar to that offered in
the senate recently by Senator Rob
inson Of Arkansas, the democratic

PINERY CANYON
ROAD ROUTING

Citizens Vf Douglas joined with
those from Bisbee, Wilcox, Light
and Pearce Tuesday in making a
through and enjoyable inspection of
the work going on at the new Pinery
canyon road.
A party of about 25 left Douglas

morning arriving at Light near noon
and then passing the early after
noon going over the work on the new
road and carefully considering the
two possible routes for the connect
ing highway to take from Light to
the lower end of the canyon road
now being constructed. All the mem
bers of the Cochise county board of
supervisors and County Engineer sgd
myth made the trip and they Joined
with the residents of this section in
praising the work being done.
No decision or official comment
was made as to the preferable route
for the connecting county road to
take and it is now up to the resi-
dents of the Bisbee, Douglas and
WILCOX districts to make known their
wishes on that matter to the board
of supervisors. The North and South
main highway was found to be in
excellent shape and in fact, except
for the stretch of road between the
main highway and Light, the travel
ing is fine, Supervisor John Hart
stated last night
There are more than three miles
of the new canyon road cleared and
graded to date and the clearing owrk
will be carried over the remaining
eight or. nine miles to Barefoot park
very soon. The grade is to be held
to seven per cent by the road crew,
Hart stated, which is good news for
the autoists. Luncheon was eaten
yesterday at the road camp at the
further end of the construction work
and the Douglas party starting back
rather late, was able to make this
city by about o'clock. Douglas was
much more generally represented than
any other section, Bisbee having on
ly about six citizens attending and

ported to the girls mother that three
men were driving the car before it

in Benson on January 2S, and the
men questioned by officers but al

formed. The next morning the aban-
doned car was found several miles

By The Associated Press.
 Ten players on the Brooklyn team of the National league are not wanted by other clubs of the circuit and will not be wanted by Brooklyn unless their playing improves im- mediately.
 This announcement was made re- gently by Manager Wilbert Robinson and the reading Of the riot act re- mained q secret for couple of days. Yesterday it became the property Of the public prints and there was a noticeable change in the Brooklyn brand of ball, for they defeated the Chicago Cubs, 2 10 Q.
 Four teams are below Brooklyn in the National league standing and the leading Cincinnati Reds are only four games ahead, so it would seem that round Robbie believes that his club is of championship calibre despite the ten waivers which he claims to have in his pocket. And the team is in it's high position despite inleld difficulties at the start of the season and the recent illness Of Dazzy Vance.
 Dazzy started the game against the Cubs yesterday, striking out five and allowing five hits before his right arm vas injured by a drive from Schieber's bat in the fifth. He retired in favor of Ehrhardt then and may he out of the game for some days.
 The Giants were stopped by the Pirates, 10 after they had taken four straight games from Cincinnati. Jack Scott was subjected to heavy fire in the sixth when the world champions scored four times, while the Giants were able to reach Vic -Aldridge only in the late innings.
 Heavy hitting in the early frames gave Cincinnati a 10 , margin over Philadelphia. although RiXey was compelled 10 retire in the eighth when Grimes. Nixon and Henlino doubled in succession.
 Welch's home run in the ninth, accounting for two runs, enabled the Braves to beat the Cardinals, to 6. Jim Bottomley also registered q cir cult drive, placing him in q tie with Hack Wilson of Chicago for league leadership.
 George Uhle big Cleveland right handler, puzzled the Yankees for the second time in the series and won the odd game for Cleveland to 2. George Burns and Joe Scwell hit homers in the first inning which virtually decided the contest.
 Washington and St. Louis went 10 innings with the Senators on the winning end, to 6, after trying the game in the ninth. Joe Harris led the Washington attack with q triple, double and single. Credit for the victory went to the Cuban, Palmcro.
 The final of the White SoX-Ath- lctics series went to the Chicagoans, to C. Eddie Collins helping with q home run while Johnny Mostil field ed sensationally.
 Collins and Dauss Of Detroit, aided by terrific hitting from Manush and Fothergill. stopped the Red SoX, to 2, Collins recording his second vic- tory Of the series,
