PHILADELPHIA. Aur. 3 An

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

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. The operators Insist
all demands must first absolve
themselves of anv likelihood of In

of America have assured Secret a rv
Davis that every effort will be

at the mines during the suspension

The Inhor secretary, who has

Captain Adolphus Andrew, com
mandant of tti Mayflower, who

WASHINGTON, Auk. St. Th
resignation of Hert K.. 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. It Is
believed that Mr. Cool Id lie may
feel that the commissioner in the
pnst two months has not acted in
accordance with the poult Ion ho
laid down at their conference.
President Palmer has rppeated
ly held that the reducllon In car
' go vessels has been made In the
I Intercut of efficiency since It haa
jbeen found flint wan to waa in
volved in the number previously
jln operation. His most recent re-marks
on the subject were that
the amount of cargo carried the
I past fiscal year and the revenue
derived therefrom waa practically
'the name as for the previous year,
j If the resignation abould not
!be forced. It 1 pointed out that
I Hip president would not have to
'submit It to congress In I)eeem
I lpr. Mr. Haney was given onlv
la recess appointment In June, and
confirmation of shipping hoard
: appointments Is required by the
Heliate.
