By the Associated Pres PHILADELPHIA, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1925. October 29.— anthracite strike in 1900. The strike lasted six weeks and was the first in the hard coal regions under the juris- diction of the United Mine Workers of America. John Mitchell, national president of the United Mine Work- ers, and George F. Baer, president of the Reading Co., were the leaders of the opposing forces. The men won a 10 per cent increase in wages and other concessions. This contest was followed by the six months’ strike of 1902, when Mitchell and Baer were again the leaders of the contending forces. Mine workers woh now are in the ninth week of their idleness in the present controversy with the coal United Mine Workers, was on the program for an address at Shamokin, where a memorial was unveiled in honor of Miles Dougherty, a former national board member of the union, and at Mahanoy City. At Scranton mine workers laid a wreath on the grave of John Mitchell. In normal times proclamations are issued by the district officers directing the men to refrain from work, but this vear no such call was necessary on laccount of the suspension which has been in effect since September 1.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 29.—Dr. Ed- mund Stinnes, eldest son of the late Hugo Stinnes, German super-indus- trialist, characterized as *pure inven- tion” the reports from Berlin that he contemplated seeking permanent commercial connections outside the Fatherland. His present visiteto the United States will be brief, he said, and at its conclusion he expected to return to Berlin. BERLIN. October 29 ().—Frau Edmund Stinnes yesterday reinforced the denials of her husband, now in New York, of reports that his present visit to the United States is in search of a new business environment. $he said he will not be away from Ger- many for more than six months, that his tour may include South America. Friends of Dr. Stinnes, however, said that he was tired of family quarrels and the tangles in which the remnants of the vast Stinnes fortune have be- come involved, and that before he left he arranged for the liquidation of his holdings. They expressed a belief, which is widely held. that he desires a new field for his activities. In other quarters it was stated that a complete understanding had been reached between Dr. Stinnes and his creditors and associated directo: and that as a result his elimination | from the further administration of hi | various holdings would not involve legal entanglements. It is known that Dr. Stinnes’ efforts to salvage the Aga Motor Works, of which he holds a majority of the stock, with the aid of state funds has failed and that at- tempts are being made to induce a | syndicate of bankers to rescue it. Dr. Stinnes’ private fortune is still believed to be about 1,000,000 marks (about $250,000). MAN DONS FEMININE GARB THEN HANGS HIMSELF By Associated Press.
