 Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer, said that he was hav- ing difficulty in persuading the men that the board has promised that the controller will pay them one week from today.

 Reason for delay of submission of the written contracts was that the men could not, without being paid over two months and more, find money to pay the newly-required liability insurance premiums. Some of the garbage collectors had been unable to borrow this money until last week.
 Contentious was made that the men could have been paid for July before the issue of contracts was raised by the controller.

WeIth Resigns Post
As American j. Coach

Gus WEIGH, athletic director and
head football coach at American
University for the last two years,
today announced that he has re-
signed his post. Although he said A.
U. officials had been informed of his
intentions. no public notice had been
made until WEIGH announced his
resignation at the weekly luncheon
meeting of the Football Writer'S As
sociation today.
Although he declared that his as
sociation with the university had
been pleasant one, WEIGH init
mated that the school was not ready
to support major football program
in the manner which he had been
given to understand it would when
he accepted the position two years
ago.
WEIGH said he hoped he would
continue to be in Washington next
year, but whether connected with
either high school or college he de-
clined to say.
The coach. who was one of the
famed Carlisle Indians in the first
decade of the century, now operates
a boys camp near Natural Bridge,
Va, and it is because of his desire
to keep his residence here that he
would accept another post in the
vicinity, he said.
Although Welch's coaching at
American University has resulted in
no outstanding success on victory
basis, the Indian brought A. U.
national publicity when he attempt
ed to use kicking coed in one
of his games during the 1897 season.
After the story circulated all over
the country, A. U. officials vetoed
the plan.
No announcement of WEIGH 3 sue

Spending Reduction
Is Believed Aim
Of Treasury
Conservative PoIicy
Opposes Views
Of EccIes
BY the Associated Press.


A usually well-informed person
indicated today that the Treasury
was urging a conservative spending
policy on President Roosevelt for
next year in opposition to the spend :
ing views of Chairman Mariner S.
Eccles of the Federal Reserve Board
Secretary Morgenthau limited at
this disagreement yesterday when
asked about speech in which Mr.
Eccles advised against premature
reduction of Federal expenditures.
Gov. Eccles is chairman of the
Federal Reserve and l am Secretary
OF the Treasury said the tall
gentleman farmer" from New York
Would Cut Deficit.
A person close to Mr. Morgenthau,
however, disclosed that the Secre-
tary, while not expecting balanced
budget next year in view Of the
projected national defense program
wants to reduce the deficit which is
scheduled to reach $4,000, 900 900 this
fiscal year.
The Treasury head and his new
tax adviser, Undersecretary John
w Hanes. a recent recruit from a
Wall Street brokerage house, are
known to believe that steps to wipe
out the deficit would help business
by heightening confidence.
Say Time Not Ripe.
Mr.. Eccles, a one time missionary
who became one of the leading
bankers of Utah. argued in New
York Friday that it was too soon
to cut down the extra public pur-
chasing power created by deficit
spending and that premature ex-
penditure reduction might cause
another business relapse.
He said one of the causes of the
recession. which started late in 1887,
was the sharp decline in the Fed
eral deficit after 1886, when the
soldiers bonus was paid. When
national income rises from the 1888
estimate of S65 900, 600, 900 to about
SIC, 900, 900, 900, he asserted, the budg-
ct would balance itself through in
creased revenue.

SYDNEY, Nova Scotia. Dec. 6
canadian PressD Fourteen men
were known to have been killed and
many others seriously injured today
In Nova Scotias worst coal mine
disaster in 20 years.
Fourteen bodies had been brought
to the surface two hours after a
string of 26 mine cars carrying $50
workers broke loose and plunged out
of control down mile-long incline
into the wall of the main deep.
Mine officials said they believed
only the IA were killed, although
rescue workers feared more bodies
remained in the wreckage at the
bottom of the pit.
Forty-five seriously injured were
brought to the pithead, where doc
tors and nurses had gathered.
The tragedy occurred in the Prin-
cess Colliery of the Nova Scotia
Steel & Coal Co. as a shift was
riding down to work
A haulage cable snapped as the
string of cars, known as a riding
rake, was going down 10 per cent
grade. The cars gathered momen-
tum rapidly. but some men were
able to jump in the first few sec
onds. Most of these escaped serious
injury
Rescue workers brought out the IA
bodies and returned to the pit. They
said it was impossible yet to say
how many more bodies might still
be in the wreckage.
Shaft IL Feet in Diameter.
Survivors and miners from other
shafts took the lead in rescue work
The roar of the crash echoed
through the shafts and slopes that
level off at depth of 1,48O feet far
below the waters of Sydney Harbor
The shaft through which the cars
plunged is only II feet in diameter
and many men who were thrown
from the cars were seriously hurt.
The crowd at the pithead grew
rapidly as news of the tragedy
spread. Each time rescue squad
appeared at the mine mouth there
was deep silence among the crowd
as they waited for the tragic ldenti-
fcation of bodies.
Rescue Crews Sent Below,
All available doctors and nurses
were sent to the pithead. Rescue
crews descended as soon as news of
the accident reached the surface.
The accident, one of the worst in
Nova Scotia's long coal mining his
tory, came just year after three
miners had been killed and two in
jured in similar accident in the
same colliery. In that case, run
away string of IA cars struck the
group as they were walking back to
the surface after their shift was
over.
