STRKE CONDITIONS | SEEN BY MINISTER Rev. A. H. Zimmerman, Clad in Overalls, Tries Laboring in Railroad Shops. FINDS MEN INEFFICIENT Inquiries in Many Fields Cause Clergyman to Believe Strike- breaking Methods Demoralizing. arbed in the overalls of a day laborer, I Albert H. Zimmermann, organizer of Helpers from the Hills, an organization that, has rendered signal services in this city in securing employment for men seeking work, and editor of the Associated Church Press, during the last several weeks has made a study of the industrial situation as it relates to the strike of the railroad shopmen. While on tour in the Chautauqua field at Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Co- lumbus, Covington, Ky.; Cumberland, Md.; Baltimore, Philadelphia, Clifton Forge, Va.; Charles Town, W. Va., and other points awhere there are big railroad terminals and machine shops, he has made a personal investigation, entering the forbidden strike zone under the camouflage of a strike- breaker and actually working at each, point for a day or two. Men Poorly Equipped. The points where he has worked in this capacity are tapped by many of the southern and eastern rail- road systems. He says that the men ‘Wwho are manning the yards and ahopsi as strikebreakers, in place of the| striking shopmen, are demoralized and ineflicient, and that the men in large measure employed are not equipped to do the work of ma- chinists or the other dutles of shop- men or yardmen. “I joined a party of fifty men in this city to take the places of the striking railroad shopmen. The men are sent to all points where most neede: The compensation offered | for machinists is 0 cents an hour, ten hours' pay for eight hours' work, and time and a half for overtime, | free board, lodging, tobacco, movies | and other amusements, which are provided in the ‘strikebreakers’ com- pound.” Hoboes Now in Clover. “Helpers are given 40 cents an hour, Wwith ten hours’ pay for eight hours’ work, and all other perquisites of the machinists. There is a bonus of $1 for tht first fifteen days and §2 from that on until the strike is ended, with priority rights for all strikebreakers. ‘When you sign up for work the agents never take the trouble to ask if you are a machinist or know anything of railroad work. That seems to be fm- material—men is what they want to break the backbone of the union strikers.” “Under these conditions the old-time hobo has disappeared. That class of wandering willies are now in clover, riding the Pullnani, eating in the diners and with money in their pockets. The cheap lodging houses in the big cities are deserted. These fellows are reaping a rich harvest. Theyv sign up and are sent to, say, California, remain there a day or two. or until they get a stake, and then they quit and sign up with another agent and ride back east in luxury.” SOVIET ENVOY AT PEKING. | PEKING, August 12—M. Joffe, en- Voy of the soviet government of Moscow, arrived here today to open trade and other negotiations with the Chinese government. SPECIAL NOTICES. " JAMES A.

TWO PLANS HELD OUT. Anthracite Owners for Arbitration or Separate Negotiations. PHILADELPHIA, August 12.-—The anthracite operators, through D. Warriner, president of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, and head of the coal operators’ wage scale committee, today gave out corre- spondence with commercial bodies in the hard coal fields, indicating that the mine owners still stand ready to end the suspension by direct negotia- tion or by arbitration. The correspondence - grams exchanged between the Scran- ton Board of Trade and John L. Lewis, international president of the United Mine Workers, in which the latter Stated that the miners will be glad to attend a joint conference at any time if the operators direct negotiations Mine Workers on the bas| wage scale and demands of Shamokin convention.” The Shamokin convention of last January made nineteen demands, of Which an increase of 20 per cent in wages was one. The Scranton (Pa.) Board of Trade and the Tamaqua (Pa.) Rotary Club passed identical resolutions to the ef- fect that if a direct and immediate settlement is not arrived at arbitra- tion should be at once invoked, and that in the meantime mining should be resumed To_the Rotary Club, Mr. Teplied, in part: “It is self-evident that if two parties after honest effort fail to agree the differences between them must be set- tled by some one else, and to this end arbitration is conceded to be the fair- est and most satisfactory method of settlement. “The anthracite operators believe and insist that the controversies in the anthracite field should be settled separately and distinctly from those existing in the bituminous fields.” COAL PRICE DEADLOCK. included tele- the Warriner Pennsylvania Commission, How- ever, Fixes Brokerage Rates.

This phase will be taken up Tues- day at Harrisburg, at a meeting of the commissioners and a committee of bituminous operators named as an advisory body. EXTRA SESSION AUGUST 21. New York Legislature to Pass Law to Relieve Coal Crisis. ALBANY, N. Y., August 12—An extraordinary session of the legisla- ture will be convened during the week of August 21, it was announced at the executive chamber today, to enact legislation intended to conserve and regulate the dlstribution of supplies of coal within New York state.

SERIOUS SHORTAGE SEEN British Operator at Ottawa Con- ferring Over Shipments From England. | Special Dispatch to The Star. 12— OTTAWA, Ontario, August Special efforts continue to pave the way for Canada getting its usual sup- Ply of coal from United States mines. McGrath and McCourt, back from Washington, have told Canadians the exact situation respecting the short- age and, in a lengthy statement is- sued today, warn householders “that there will have to be the utmost care relative to the consuming of anthra- cite.” The fact that there is a four- month shortage across the line Is emphasized. The information secured in Wash- ington Is set out also what the fuel distribution committee is doing and as to the order of priority determined at Washington. In view of the short- age in the states and Canada's de- pendence upon American sources of supply the committee recommended certain Canadian provinces appoint- ing a fuel controller. Xormer Mayor A. Ellis of Ottawa will be the controller for Ontario. { Meanwhile the Dominion government is putting forth every effort to se- cure from the United States the quota of coal normally coming from that country. Much correspondence is passing between Ottawa and Wash- ington. Sir Burton Chadwick, a widely known coal magnate from London and Liverpool, has been here conferring with Ottawa officlals rel- ative to shipping British coal to Canada. “I firmly believe,” he said, “that the Canadian coal situation is going to be serious even should the strike in the states end at once. The United States will be served first, then the larger Canadian centers will receive their quota and the smaller places will come last. T hardly see how the Dominion will face the situation Wwithout receiving coal from the Brit- ish Isles.” DEATH OF GRIFFITH (Continued from First Page.) in New York. The belief was ex- pressed by many that his passing had taken from Ireland one of its greatest fighters for freedom and from the Free State government one of its most courageous leaders. Advocates of both the republican and Free State movements joined in expressing sor- row at Griffith’s demise. They de- clared that his works had inspired all Irish leaders and that they would carry on for him. Men who were intimate with Grif- fith before the birth of the Sinn Fein recalled some of the interesting chap- ters of his life. For many years he edited a newspaper. Often it was suppressed by the British govern- ment, but, undismayed, Griffith con- tinued its publication, changing its name after each suppression. He continued this for fifteen years and names. One of his utterances, print- ed in May, 1918, in a pamphlet bear- ing the title “The Slave Mind,” was: “The slave mind has been the bane of Ireland, for it is the very root of the lack of self-reliance which has reduced the stateliest race in Europe —the Gagls—to what they are today. It has destroyed our moral cour- age. ® * We are Irishmen. Our duty to our country demands us to regain Ireland’s national and political liberties, and until England has re- stored them England remains Ire- land’s enemy.” Avolds Execution. Griffith would have been executed with Sir Roger Casement, it is said, had it not been for the fact that he was considered “a mental Sinn Feiner” and did not publicly advo- cate physical force. He belleved in the printing press rather than the machine gun. Grifith was taken into custody after the arrest of Casement and the physical force advocates who had a part in the Sackville street affair. He was tried, and the military court, though it was not proven that he had any actual part in the repellion, ordered his deportation to England for one year. Griffith was known as a man Who never lost his temper. An anecdote fllustrative of this tralt was related recently by James Stephens, Irish novelist and poet. Knoeked Out Thug. One evening, so the story goes, Stephens and Griffith had dined in the little restaurant An Dublin in whose coffee room the Sinn Fein was born. Afterward, with several of their friends, they strolled leisurely up Grafton street and Griffith began talking of his experiences as a youth in the South African gold mining country. “1 certainly was a fool” he was saying, “for every man in the mining camp seemed to have the knack of making a fortune except myself. One man—" At this point two rowdies darted from the shadows. One of them de- liberately bumped into Griffith, knocking off his hat. Griffith never said a word' He picked up his hat and put it on again. The rowdy knocked it off the second time and uttered an insult. Still Griffith held his tongue. He removed his eye- glasses, tucked them in a pocket and then, as the rowdy came back the third time, struck him squarely on the chin, sending him sprawling in the gutter. Grifith then placed his glasses on his nose and, as if there had heen no interruption to his story, added: “Cleaned up ten thousand pounds in a single week.” pendent companies in an effort to keep working. No estimate of the number of men who would be forced into idleness was available. e DETROIT.

SEES FREE STATE’S END. Andrew 1. Hickey, formerly presi- dent of the Abraham Lincoln Coun- cil of the American Association for the Recognition of the Irish Repub- lic, said last night, in commenting on Mr Griffith’s death: “I am very much shocked to hear of Mr. Griffith’s death. I think it is the beginning of the end of the provisional government. I say this because Mr. Griffith, in my opinion, was the brains of the provisional government. I believe the repub- lican movement is stronger than we in America are led to think from expressions in the press. “Mr. Grifith was never & repub- lican, but he did what he thought was the right thing at the right time, ;and will rank among those Irishmen who are destined to go down_into history.

The rule heretofore has been that the | three ranking republicans and the tws | ranking democrats on the finance committee were named to represent the Senate, but since Senator La Fol- lette of Wisconsin, who has opposed the tariff bill, is the third ranking { republican, there has been specula- tion as to whether he would be ap- { pointed.

Should Mr. La Follette he appointed and oppose the final ft of thej measure in conference the conferees might be deadlocked, five to five, with the result that a conference report could not be agreed to.
