PHILADELPHIA. Aur. 3 An thracite mining In Northeastern Pennsylvania will stop at midnight by oiMer of the United Mine Work ers. The stroke of twelve marks expiration of the two-year contract of 158,000 workers who have been unable to agree with the mine own ers upon Its renewal and who de cline to. work until some renewal is negotiated. The walkout will place a virtual padlock upon 828 mines In ten counties. It will involve. In addi tion to the bulk of the miners, an other army of their dependents. The full number of these de pendent upon the mines, and for whom bread winning accordingly Mops. Is put at 500.000. About 8.000 maintenance men will remain In the pits by mntual agreement to prevent flooding and to attend their general upkeep. They will be assessed a day's pay every two weeks for .the union 'a emergency fund. Something like 10.000 rail road men employed In handling of coal shipments and In shops and car repair work will probably be thrown out of work. The suspension will be prnctlcal lv 100 per cent effective. The re gion has been thoroughly organ l7"d by the union and the handful of men the union has permitted Its members to associate with despite the lack of union buttons is expect ed to quit as well.

At many mines contract miners unit work Saturday after Mowing down enough coal to keep their la borers occupied for the remainder of th- contract. Mnnv heavy tools have been removed bv the men and stored arainnt such time as a new contract is signed. Yesterday at special meetings held by most of the 325 union offi cials, th" union suspension order was read. ' The miners are demanding a ten per cent Increase In tonnaee rates, $1 a day more for day workers, the check off, a two-year contract, equalization of rats and other ad justments.

Off. -c'als of the T'nlted Mine Workers of America have assured Secret a rv Davis that every effort will be nurt" to protect property and lives at the mines during the suspension of work In the anthracite c oal fields.

SWAMPSCOTT, Aug. 31 Thin ty days confinement and $21 lost pay was imposed by a summary court martial today on Private Clarence Key of Centervllle, Tex., who was found lying down at hie -post while guarding the president at White Court. Captain Adolphus Andrew, com mandant of tti Mayflower, who approved the sentence of the court martial, said It had bsen shown that Key was lying down at his post and had covered himself up with his overcoat. No attempt was made, he aaid. to prove that trte marine was asleep. The finding of the court martial In the case of Corporal Andrew Chantos, who is charged with leav ing his post, is under direction by Captain Andrews. Late thia afternoon It was offi cially announced that Captain An drews disapproved the findings of the court martial In Chantos case and ordered him restored to duty. After spending two days review ing the evidence presented him Captain Andrews decided to give Chantos the benefit of the doubt on the grounds that It had not been proven conclusively that he had left his post without being proper ly relieved.

Hnney of OrpRon an a commissioner of the shipping board has been requested by President Cool Id ge and has been refused. While Mr. Haney declined to discuaa the matter today or to muke public the correspondence. It war indicated the president acted because nf dlasatisfactlon with Mr. Hnney's attitude toward VreHldent Palmer of the fleet cor poration. Mr. Hanev baa moved at recent executive sessions of the shipping . hoard for removal of Mr. Palmer, but la understood to have failed to obtain any support for thia mo tions. He has acted on the belief that the government merchant fleet Is running down under Mr. Palmer and is not being develop ed as called for under the mer chant marine act, adequately to carry American products or to serve as a navul auxiliary in time of war. ft has been his contention that while there were In operation 38ti ithlps in the government merchant fleet when Mr. Palmer took office less than two yearn hko. there were but 251 two weeks ago. In the face of the refusal of Mr. Hnney to resign, the next step remains problematical. Un der the merchant marine act, the i premueni may remove n cumuim- alnner only for cause. Thia head ing? comes under malfeasance, neglect or Incompetency. Mr. Haney was appointed from Oregon as a democrat by Presl dent Harding in June 192.1, to succeed former Senator George K. rhumberlaln of that state, re signed. He was re-appolnted by President Conlldge for a two-year term last Juni after a long con-r Iference with Mr. Coolidge at the 1 White Ho ii hp. when the entire shipping board situation ..waft thoroughly discussed. - , Mr. Haney Is said at that tint to have made clear that he haC very definite Ideas about the -M velopment of the American 1. chnnt Marine and proponed K'TUt In accordance with his Judgement. This position, it wan indicated, was agreeable to Mr. Conlldge who Btihsptiucntly tendered htm Ihe re-appointment. l" While the correspondence -between Ihe president and Mr. Ha ney was not avnlluhle here.
