(Special to The Evening World.) POTTSVILLE, Pa., Sept. 1.—The Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company broke the back of the anthracite monopoly to-day by open- ing its huge culm banks at Silver Creek to the public, whereby coal can be obtained at $4 a ton less than in- ercident operators have been selling the product for. The Silver Creek coal is of better quality than that furnished by the independent operators there, who have been operating during the entire time of the suspension and have de- manded big prices as competition f>- the coal became severe. Renewed preparations for the -:- sumption of active coal mining was seen here to-day in orders by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company to its one thousand mechanics at the Pottsville repair shops to work all week instead of only three days, as has been the ord:r all summer. HARD COAL MINERS PREPARING TO GO BACK TO SHAFTS Owners Expected to Yield and Sign With Unions 'To-Morrow. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.—Prepa- rations for resumption of anthracite mining were under way in Pennsylya- nia to-day as the last steps in settle- ment of the strike were taken. The peace agreement probably will be signed before Saturday noon. Samuel D. Warriner, spokesman for the operators, has asked for a ‘pub- Ne mandate’ to justify paying the miners their old wage until April, 1924. He issued this statement after a four-hour conference of the oper- ators at the Ritz-Carlton. It iS regarded as a foregone con- clusion that the operators will con- sider, that this ‘‘public mandate’ is forthcoming, and will sign an agree- ment satisfactory to the miners. The operators will reconvene to- morrow morning, at which time they will decide if the public demands that the miners’ request for the old wage until 1924 be granted. If the oper- ators believe enough pressure has been brought they will grant the wage de- mand, which will mean the end of the suspension. They will conform their action to such @ mandate, said the statement, but no other reason would impel them to enter into an agreement which would continue for longer than the present emergency coal prices ‘to which emphatic objection already nas been made."

Saveral Reported Killed, Four Injured, Rescues Being Made by Other Ships. BUENOS AYRES, Sept. 1—An ‘Argentine gunboat was sunk and five other vessels rammed and badly dam- aged the Munson liner American Legion, which became unmanageable in the harbor here when about to leave for New York yesterday. The gunboat Azopardo went to the bottom immediately after the Ameri- can vessel started running amuck. Passengers were ordered to remain aboard the American Legion pending an official investigation by the Argen- tine Government which began to-day. Conferences are under way between the United States Minister to the Argentine and naval officials. Other Argentine yessels damaged during the brief, apparently aimless rush of the American Legion, which wrought hayoc among other small craft in the crowded harbor, were: Patria, a gunboat; Gaviota, a scoutship; Pampa, a transport, and Patagonia, a transport. The American Legion, as far as could be learned, escaped all damage. The sinking of the Azopardo was described by witnesses as very sud- den, One version of the mishap was that the American Legion dashed the Argentine ship against the rocks, sending it to the bottom in a few minutes. Only the fact that many ships were in the harbor to particl- pate in the rescue work prevented a big casualty list. The American Legion will sail for New York to-night. Check-up showed four injured in the mishap, but none killed. The American Legion, of 13,737 tons, is the largest of the Munson Line fleet, which has been establish- ‘ng a popular passenger service be- tween New York and South Americen ports, She is said to be manned en- tirely by American Legion men. palin el as ARTHUR GRIFFITH DIED OF POISON, DUBLIN HEARS Doctor Says Body May Be Exhumed to Determine Death Cause.

CHICAGO, Sept, 1° (Associated Press).—Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees was suspended for the third time this season by President Johnson of the Ameri- can League to-day. The suspen- sion is for three days. He will be eligible to return to the game Labor Day. The three-day suspension ts punishment for Ruth's language to Umpire Connolly in New York last Wednesday. Ruth was put out of the game after protesting Connolly's decisions. Reports to President Johnson said that Ruth's remarks to the umpire were vulgar and vicious. Babe Ruth was out fishing to- day when news came from Chi- cago that President Johnson of the American League had sus- pended him for the third time this year, “We hadn't heard anything about it,” Mrs.-Ruth told the As- sociated Press when informed that her home run hitting husband had been thrown out of employ- ment until Labor Day. ACTRESS TAKES POISON DURING SHOW REHEARSAL Believing Herself Jilted, She Kills Herself—Sweetheart Then Appears. The Whiz Bang Girls Company had a rehearsal to-day on the sixth floor of the National Winter Garden The- atre Building at No, 111 East Houston Street. Apparently the happiest of the fifteen girls in the cast was Lil- lian Jay, soubrette of the company. She asked at every breathing psi if it wasn't great that Nicky was go- ing to make upgwith her. Mildred, her sister, had explained to almost everybody that Lillian's sweet- heart had promised to give her a dia- mond ring on her birthday last Wednesday but had not come to her birthday party or sent her any word until this morning, when he had left @ message that It was all a mistake and he would be at the theatre to take her to lunch between reflearsal and the matinee, They all knew the young man, Dominick Rango of No. 214 Grand Street, a handsome young jewelr: salesman who up to last Wedn had driven to the theatre in a sky blue automobile to take Lillian home. At every chance Lillian went to the balcony overlooking Houston Str The blue automobile did not appear. It had not appeared when rehearsal was over, Lillian began to cry. She went into a dressing room. A momnt later Marjorie Pennettt, « dancer, went into the dressing room to comfort her. She found Miss Jay lying rigidly on a bench, her eyes glaz ing and a bottle marked ‘Potassium Cyanide" under her hand which traiied on the floor, Aided by Jack Sbardel, the funny man of the show, Miss Pennett! car- ried Miss Jay out into the rehearsal hall. Her sister met them and after taking one look at her face toppled across her in a dead faint. Policeman Farley and a surgeon from Gouyerneyr Hospital worked over the poisoned girl, She died after twenty minutes. As the surgeon straightened from his yain efforts, Dominick Rango jumped out of his sky blue automobile and ran into the crowd about his weetheart’s body. When he knew she was dead he darted to the balcony Policeman! Farley was just in timo to prevent him from making a leap six stories to the street.

Daugherty’s Nelion! Taken on Harding’s Order, Comes as Complete Surprise. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 (Associated Press).—At the Department of Jus- tice, officials would make no comment whatever on the injunction proceed- ings, saying the position of the Gov- ernment was set forth fully in the pe- tition submitted at Chicago. Inquir- ers were referred also to President Harding's recent address to Congress, in which he pledged his Administra- tion to use “fall the power of the Gov- ernment to maintain transportation and sustain the right of men to work."* Word of the court action had a bombshell effect among Jabor Ieaders generally, and there werd many ex- pressions of surprise among Govern- ment officials themselves, The secret of the contemplated action had been well kept, and the Attorney General had slipped out of Washington with few of his close associates knowing of his intentions.

We are not afraid of anything the courts can do. Mon still have some Constitutional rights in America and we shall stand on them." The filing of this sult Is just an- other blunder to be added to the large list which the Administration has already made in dealing with the railroad situation. The Administra- tion has done everything it could to help the railroad management."’ Officials of labor organizations in the meantime pointed out that there had been ‘a bushel of injunctions’’ granted to railroads against local strike organizations, which they as- serted had in no way interfered with the effectiveness of the strike. The shopmen, according to the labor view, are not engaged in unlawful actton and cannot be forced by injunctions to go back to work. Members of the Senate and House were slow to comment, but Chairman Cummins of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee said he was one of those who had been consulted about the move.
