COAL TRUCE WILL
HURT THE MINERS

CHICAGO, Oct. Ga number of
Illinois mines began hoisting coal fol-
lowing the weekend announcement
of the temporary strike settlement
entered into between District IL of
the miners union and the Illinois
operators. The effect on other Sec
tions of the country of the sectional
settlement in this state is reported
as negligible except in Kentucky scab
mines where it is reported the oper-
ators have decided to cancel wage
bonuses and reduce prices of coal
further and in Iowa where a similar
peace is tentatively decided upon.
The Chicago Journal of Commerce,
competent to express the feeling of
the Illinois operators, has the follow
ing to say about the truce in Illinois:
"The operators accept, for six
month period, the Jacksonville wage
scale. The operators refused to ac-
cept this scale at all in the spring.
If they accept it now, for six
month term, the reason is that the
coming six months are the busiest
OF the year for the coal industry so
that high wages can more easily be
afforded during this season.
"The miners accept the contention
that the Jacksonville scale cannot be
retained permanently, but must be re-
vised, the implication being that it
will be revised downward to permit
the union mines of Illinois to COM
pete with the low-priced product of
the low-waged non-union mines of
Kentucky and West Virginia"
The operators have shown by this
and many other statements that their
acceptance, temporarily, of the $3.50
wage scale is due entirely to their
ability to make higher profits during
the seasonal demand and that they

EXPERT" REPORT
new ATTEMPT TO
Get HIGHER Fare
$4,000 Fee to Smith Is
Severely Criticised

A new move for a boost in New
York City subway fares loomed yes
terday with the publication of the re-
port of Charles Edward Smith, St.
Louis engineer, advocating a seven
cent fare. The report was made at
the request of Comptroller Berry.
Tho New York subways working
even under an uneconomic and waste
full system of private ownership yield
their operators fat profits, Smith de-
clared that the transit system can
not possibly be operated on the basis
of five-cent fare.
Opposed By Tammany.
Smiths proposal, it is certain, will
meet opposition. from Mayor Walker,
who favors the Morgan-sponsored
"unification" scheme advanced by
Samuel Untermyer, special counsel
for the Transit Commission. The I'm
termyer plan presented in an appar-
emily painless form is understood to
aim ultimately at ten-cent fare.
Tammany Hall is solidly back of
the Untermyer transit scheme for
the "unification" of city transit.
While Dwight Morrow, recently ap-
pointed ambassador to Mexico and
prominent member Of the House Of
Morgan Che has nominally resigned
from the firm, openly sponsored the
Untermyer scheme. The House Of
Morgan has heavily invested in the
bonds of the Interborough Rapid
Transit.

to be laid before the Federal Power
Commission before the convening of
Congress and probably prior to De-
cember /. The report is now being

pleted late in November 1t is the
outGrowth of public hearings held at
llarpers Ferry, w. Va. two months
ago.
There has been no intimat ton as
to the contents of the report. which
is said TO deal solely with the enGi-
neering phases Of the project and
whether or not it is worth while for
the Government to lease certain por.
tions of the upper Potomac for hydro.
electric development by a private cor.
poration. Much opposition has de-
veloped to the project from various
official and unofficial organizations in
Washington, some of it centering
around the expected damage to the
beauty of the upper gorge of the
river.

ton 1t will come before meeting of

SCHOONER CRASH
LAID TO MISTAKE
misunderstanding of Signal
Given as Cause of Loss
With II of Crew.
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON. October ga mysteri.
Gus misunderstanding of routine
"courSe signal was given tonight as
the apparent cause of the loss of the
Gloucester fisherman Avalon with IL
members of her crew.
The schooner was cut in two off
Cape Cod this morning when rammed
by the Cosulich liner President Will
son. in a dense fog.
In a statement issued after CONSUL
tation with Capt. Antonio Martino-
Itch, the agent for the line here de-
clared the liners course had been
altered when a white light was re-
ported dead ahead and that signal
was given to show that the steamers
course had been changed.
For some unexplained reason the
fishing schooner changed her course
in n similar direction the statement
said, "and came across the beam of

time was almost stopped, precautions
having already been taken to slow

but not before efforts had been made

The three men-only survivors of
the crew OF IL. were in this boat.
According to the story of the sur
vivors, as reported by Medical EN-
amner George b. McGrath. after he
examined the men aboard the steam
ship on its arrival here, the schooner
had come across the bow of the
President Wilson and was on the star
board tack when the steamship
struck her amidships. The sharp
Prov plowed through the frailer
craft and she went down before the
men could take To the boats. The
three survivors were picked up within
few minutes. The President Wilson
hunted for others but found only the
fore daylight, shortly after o'clot X.
According to the story told by the
survivors, the schooner's running
lights were in good order, but a heavy
fog cut down visibility.
Steamer Searches Hours.
The steamship remained at the
scene for several hours but hope of
rescuing any others of the crew
finally was abandoned and she headed
for Boston, where the three rescued
men were put ashore and sent to
hospital. The Avalon was a two
masted auxiliary schooner owned by
the William X. Jordan Co. of Glou-
cester. She was typical of the fishing
fleet which works from that port,
manned by - hardy crew, old Glou-
cestermen and fishermen from the
Canadian maritime provinces. She
had brave dthe storms of the Atlantic
seaboard for nearly a quarter of CEN
tury.
Her fate was not unlike that
which has overtaken many of the
Gloucester fleet. Only a few weeks
ago the schooner Columbia set out
from port and never returned. An
nually the toll of lost fishermen has
grown. but the death list of the Avalon
toda,, was one of the highest recorded
in any disaster this year.
