| PITTSBURGH, June 22.-Leaders
of the United Mine Workers today

they alleged police of the Pittsburgh
| Terminal Coal Co. have established at
Mollenauer. a mining town, in an eff

owned by the company. Proceedings
| brought by the company to evict the
miners now are pending in State SUI
perior Court, with a possibility that
no decision will be reached before
next Winter.
Phillip Murray, international vice
president of the United Mine Work
ers. declared yesterday that the COM
pany police have declared an en-
barge against all deliveries from Pitts
burgh merchants, and that miners at
Mollenauer are forced to buy at Castle
Shannon, more than a mile away.
Electric lights, he said, have been
turned off, necessitating the use of
oil lamps and lanterns.
President Explains Rules.
Asked for a statement, Horace F.
Baker, president OF the company. said
1t had been found against our In
terests to have every one going on
our property where there were both
union and non-union miners. and
therefore, we laid down rules to ex.

which owns eight mines in the Pitts

regain possession of it's houses for
months. With the suspension Of OPP
erations in union hituminous mines
April /, the company announced 1t
would reopen it's mines non-union. Its
Coverdale mine was reopened April 20:
The legal fight over occupancy of
the houses began April 20. when the
company filed eviction proceedings
against 10 union miners at Coverdale.
Spokesman for the corporation at that
time said the company would file SIM
liar proceedings against some 5000
union minors and their families who
were occupying the corporations 1900
houses. Subsequently, such proceed
ings were filed against about 100
miners.
With the first 10 suits the union be-
gan it's fight to prevent eviction Of the
miners. AS each new batch OF eviction
suits was filed, union counsel gained
respite through some counter-court
actions.
Cases I'm Supreme Court.
Eventually all Of the ejectment pro-
ceedings were carried to the Superior
Court by the union. The court will
not convene until Fall and a decision
may not be handed down for some
time after the session begins.
The terminal corporation, however.
still hopes to bring about decision In
the case before Winter. Several days
ago counsel for the company petit
toned the Superior Court to dismiss
the union appeals.
Argument on the petitions was set
for July at Philadelphia. If the
court decided to allow the appeals TO
stand, union leaders said the miners
would continue to occupy the houses
until the Superior Court decision on
the appeals is handed down.

FAIRFAX RAIL WAY
OPERATION SOUGHT.
Local Traction Companies
Considering Proposal From
Division Option Holders.

Negotiations are in process with the
Capital Traction Co. as we'll as the
Washington Railway & Electric Co.
for operation of the Falls Church.
Fairfax division of the Washington
Virginia Railway, it was learned to-
day.
The fact that representatives of
Arlington and Fairfax Counties yes
terday sounded out" the Capital
Traction Co. on a number of pro-
posals looking to continued operation
of the suburban line indicates that
little or no Roadway has been made
with Washington Railway & Electric
officials since the conference of last
week.
Option Holders Responsible.
The interests which acquired an
option on the division either will have
to operate the line on behalf of the
two counties which they represent or
reach some sort Of agreement, recip-
rocal or through purchase, whereby
bne of the two Washington traction
companies undertakes the operation.
Ashton G.. Jones of Alexandria and
M. E. Church of Falls Church yester-
day conferred with John Hanna, presi'
dent of the Capital Traction Co., with
this end in view. Another conference
will be held next week.
They proposed that the Capita
Traction Co. continue it's service
through Rosslyn over the tracks Of
the Washington-Virgini Railway. ant
in event that is impossible or mad
visable, the company was asked II
grant and accept transfers to anc
from the cars of the company on the
Falls Church division at Rosslyn.
Interests Represented.
The negotiations with the Washing
ton Railway & Electric Co. involved
operation of the Alexandria Mount
Vernon division, owned by New 1off
and Philadelphia interests, as we'll al
the Falls Church division. This woult
give the patrons of the Falls Churcf
division use of the terminal

Since approximately so per cent o
the patrons of the Falls Church I'M

street terminal, the Virginia Interest,"
naturally would prefer to continue thl
arrangement.
Mr.. Hanna has not committed him
self to any plan, but it was said tina
the company is sufficiently interested
in the deal to continue discussions.
