LONDON, October 1 (#).—The use of steel props and coal cutters to cut | stone has led to serious labor troubles in the Ashington, Northumberland, collieries. Two thousand men in the Linton pits are idle and there is a threat the dispute may extend to the whole Ashington area, employing 10,- | 000 men. ‘The men contend the introduction of steel pit drops to replace timber means an additional strain on the men work- ing at the coal face, and that the steel props are more cumbersome and more dangerous than the customary wooden ones.

NG By the Assnciated Press. ST. LOUIS, October 1.—Traveling the shortest distance yet recorded to win in the Gordon Bennett international balloon races, Ward T. Van Orman, civilian pilot of the Goodyear VIII, was the apparent winner of the eighteenth renewal which started here Saturday. The airboard of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce computed his mileage to a point three miles north of Troy, Ohio, as 355 miles. ‘The other two American entrants also reached Ohio. while the six foreign balloons landed in Indiana or Iilinois. The last to report was Capt. Ernest de Muyter of the Belgian “Belgica” last night when a telegram to the Chamber of Commerce revealed he had descended near Croydon, Ind., 20 miles west of Louisville, Ky., at 8 p.m. Sunday. His distance was about 230 miles and placed him fourth. . Official Figures Required. Official calculations will be necessary to eliminate Capt. Willlam E. Kepner, last year's winner, who piloted the United States Army bag to a point northeast of Celina, Ohio, a distance from St. Louis of 345 miles as estimated by the air board. The United States Navy balloon of Lieut. T. W. G. Settle landed 10 miles southeast of Eaton, Ohio, 328 miles distant.
