LOWING SETTLEMENT OF
LONG DISPUTE

SCRANTON, Pa, Feb. Is.-Min-
ing was resumed in the anthracite
region today when the vast army of
underground toilers returned to their
jobs after being idle more Than five
months because of the strike.
Thousands of workers thronged
around the shafts of the different
coal companies everywhere In hard
coal fields at six a. m, at which hour
the cages began lowering their loads
of human freight to the bowels of
the earth and begin the actual pro-
duction OF anthracite, the first since
the strike went into effect September
1. Some coal was hoisted to the col
Eeries and run through the chutes
at O'Clock this morning.
The coal was mined by shifts that
went to work in the mines last night.
The whole region became active as
the mine whistles blew this morning
fer the first time in nearly a half
year, and thousands of workers en-
tered the pits in compliance with the
five-year peace pact formally signed
here yesterday afternoon by the joint
committee of operators and miners.
John L. Lewis, president of the
union, said it was the greatest con-
tract ever drawn up in the history
of organized labor, involving wages
aggregating billion and a half dol
lars in five years.
Leading coal operators said they
expected to produce about 25 per
cent of the daily average, or 5000
tons. All, however, viii not be shipp-
ed away because much of it is needed
for boilers at the mine.

issue WARRANTS IN MIAMI
FOR PERSONS ARRESTED In
KEY WEST BY PROHI AGENTS
SHERIFF CURRY, RECEIVES
TELEGRAM FROM UNITED
STATES MARSHAL OF MI
AMI DISTRICT

The latest development in connec-
ton with the matter of the raids
made by prohibition officers here
Tuesday is that Sheriff Roland
Curry received this morning tele-
gram from the United States Marshal
a. Miami stating that nine warrants
had been issued for people arrested
during these raids, and requesting
that he hold the parties in jail until
the warrants reached the hands of
United States Marshal ABdrew Lopez
here.
tThis is the first information l
have had, and it was received so
hours after the people were placed in
JAIL" Sheriff Curry said. land "a
hours is the limit by law that a per-
SON can be detained in Jail without
warrant and commitment papers,"
Sheriff Curry states that he did
not know who arrested these people,
that the officers did not make them
selves known to him, and that he had
no authority to hold them.
Through Sheriff Curry's instruction
by long distance one of the men, w.
A. Diekesen, charged with assault
upon A Morales, was apprehended
by the sheriff's force at Miami, and
has made bond to the amount of $500
for his appearance in court in Key
West next Monday, February %.
Efforts are now being made by Sheriff
Curry to have the other participant
in the Morales assault arrested in
Miami.
Serious ehareas- ara heinz prakexr-.
ed against one Of the visiting pronf
bition officers, according to Sheriff
Curry, who states that the lady whose
husband operates the cafe opposite
the Hotel La Concha will swear out
a warrant charging grand larceny,
claiming that the man took from the
place hand bag containing valuable
articles, including a $3.50 diamond
ring, pearl necklace, $50 IN cash,
the hand bag being va.ued especially
because it came from Egypt. The
warrant, Sheriff Curry says, will be
backed by several reputable people
who were present and claim they saw
the man take the bag with him. The
lady stated to the sheriff that she
could easily identify the man who
took it.
While it is claimed by many that
eight men were included in the raid
ing squad, Sheriff Curry has been
able to get the names only of FIVE,
which he secured form the Over Sea
Hotel registry list. They are J. V.
Jones, j. w. Johnson, W. A. Dicker-
sen, W. NJ. Johnson and John E.
Hedilow. The names of the other
three are not known here.
Sheriff Curry stated to a Citizen
representative this morning that the
prisoners were released after the
legal length of time he could hold
them, that he "had no warrant, no
commitment papers and no informa-
tion whatever as to who made the
arrests"

tario goes to the polls is a provincial
general election, with the liquor ques
ton the main issue. Premier Fergu

Under the Canadian constitution the
sale of liquor Is regulated by pro

Five of the nine provinces permit the
