fine and suspension disciplinary pen
alties Imposed by Manager Huggins
the YankeeH. The commissioner was
out of the city, having Bone to his

"Misconduct, drinking and

Pennsylvania Mines to Be De
serted By 158,000 Workers
at 12 Tonight 500,000
People Vitally Involved No
Picketing and No Non
Union Employment.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. (A. P.)
Officials of the L'nited Mine Work
ers of America have assured Secre
tary Davis fhat every effort will be
made to protect property and lives
nt the mines during the suspension ol
work in the anthracite coal fields.
The labor secretary who has been
keeping in close touch with develop
ments Ul the anthracite situation pre
viously had expressed concern over
the possibility that the mine prop-
rties might not have adequate care
during the suspension of work, be
ginning at midnight.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31 (A. P.)
Anthracite mining in northeastern
Pennsylvania will stop at midnight
by order of the United Mine Work
ers. The Htroke of twelve marks ex
piration of the two-yen r working
contract of 158,000 workers who
have been unable to agree with the
mine owners upon its renewal and
who decline to work until some re
newal is negotiated.
The walkout will place a virtual
padlock upon 828 mines In ten coun
ties. . It will Involve, hi addition to
the bulk of the miners, another
army of their dependents.
The full number . of those depen
dent upon the mi ties, and for whom
breudwinning accordingly Htops. Is
put at 500,000. About 8000 mainte
nance men will remain in the pits
by mutual agreement to prevent,
flooding and to attend their general
upkeep. They will be assessed a
day's pay every two weeks for the
union's emergency fund. Something
like
10.000 railroad men employed;
in handling coal shipments and hi
shops and car repair work, will '
prohably be thrown out of work.

union buttons, is expected to quit

1'nJon officials contemplate no
picketing and the owners, so far us
can be learned, plan no importing
of non-union help.
At many mines, contract miners
unit work Saturday after blowing
down enough coal to keep their
laborers occupied for the remainder
of the contract. Many heavy tools
have been removed by the men and
stored away against such time as a
new contract Is signed.
Yesterday at special meetings held
by most of the 825 union officials
the union suspension order was read.
The minors are demanding a ten
per cent increase in tonnage rates,

check-off. a tvq-year contract, equal

ray, 22-year-old leader of tho convict
trio who shot their way out of the
Oregon penitentiary on the evening of
August 12, killing two guards ami
leaving the fouri b of I heir number
lead under the walls, is perfectly sane.
This Is Ihe statement of Dr. John
C. Kvans, allenisl at the stale hospital
tor the Insane, who examined Murray
in his c in lite prison last Friday
afternoon at the request of t he dis
trict attorney's office.
"After subjecting M urray to the
usual examination I found no evidence
of Insanity," said I r. lOvans this after
noon. "I visited with him for moro
than an hour, during which lime he
told me his entire history, and I found
him to lie entirely rational."
The findings of Dr. Kvans discount
the intimation of Murray's father that
1 he defi'iiM' to the murder charge
haiuging over Ihe youi hfitl bandit
would be insanity. The father, in an
interview here, said t hat when Turn
Murray was 14 years old he was
struck on the head by a rock thrown
by a playmate, and that he had never
been mentally right since. Concern
ing the scar on M urray's forehead,
which his father said had been left by
the rock wound. Dr. Kvans said:
"1 found a bump on his foreh4id,
but 1 attribute this to a weakness of
the tissues. There is no evidence that
the wound said to have been caused
by the rock resulted In any fracture."
