and were without th? wire netting .
which the B. R. T. adopted on some of
its lints early in the walk-out.
The Sea Beach line, which had been J
out of commission since the beginning j
?f the trouble, was operated yesterday
far the first time, and used Kings
Highway station as an eastern terminal
instead of Coney Island. The Public I
Service Commission estimated that 157 !
elevated and subway trains, made up
of more thun 600 cars, were in opera?
tion in Brooklyn. Inspectors for the
commission reported that twenty-seven
surface routes were in operation and
that nearly 500 cars were runninpr.
This service was increased toward i
evening to accommodate holiday crowds ;
on their way home.
Crowds Are Accommodated
Whether or not the subway, elevated
and surface lines were running on a
normal Sunday schedule, it was obvious !
that there were cars enough for all I
\tio wished to' ride. There was no
??ovrding reported from any point, and
iiiany of the cars were seen to be half
empty.
At the B. R. T. offices it was de
flared that regular service was being
given on the Myrtle Avenue, Broadway,
Fulton Street and Lexington Avenue
lines of the elevated and subway, and
that no difficulty had been experienced
in maintaining the schedules.
With the improved conditions on nil
branches of the system it was found
unnecessary yesterday to continue the
one-way trlifiic regulations on the East
River bridges.
There were few accidents and no
violence reported during the day, but
last night the police at Coney Island
were informed that a Brighton train
had been stoned. Reserves were sent
to the spot where the stoning was said
to have occurred, but made no arrests.
Surface cars stopped running across
Brooklyn Bridge at 7 o'clock last night,
but the service will be resumed this
morning, according to an announce?
ment made by the company.
At the offices of the B. R. T. it
was said that Receiver Garrison re
Kardcd the situation as so much im?
proved that his presence in the city
was not required. He went to his sum?
mer home in Sea Girt, N. J., for the
week end.
Four Strikers Held
After Death of Boy
Stoned on B. R. T.
Motorman Hit With Rock
Also Said To Be Dying;
Company Attributes Fire
in Barn to Union Members
There was little violence yesterday
on the part of Brooklyn Rapid Transit
strikers, although surface cars were
kept running all night on some lines,
as were the subway trains which run
through open cuts where stoning has
been frequent.
A fire which destroyed a car used as
a dormitory in the East New York
barns was attributed to strikers by
the company, and four striking guards
were arrested in connection with the
death of a victim of a volley of stones
flung on Saturday night at a Sea Beach
train. He was Frederick Friedman,
seventeen years old, a passenger on
the train. A brick hit him and he died
Saturday night at Kings County Hos?
pital.
Motorman Likely to Die
George C. Fairbanks, 452 Prospect
Avenue, Brooklyn, the motorman of
another Sea Beach train that was
stoned on Tuesday night, was said to
be dying in the same hospital last
night. He was hit on the head with
a rock.
The men arrested last night gav?
their names as Joseph Delpappio.
Michael De Collucio, Silvio Orsing and
Frank Morzano. All gave Brooklyn
addresses and said they had been em?
ployed by the B. R. T.
At the Fort Hamilton police sta
tio - the four prisoners were ques?
tioned and are said to have admitted
that they had been in the vicinity of
the spot where the trains were stoned.
The fire in the East New York barns
endangered the lives of a number of
volunteer and regular workers who
were sleeping near by. Many of the
cars stored in the barn, which is situ?
ated at Broadway and Conway Street,
and built directly beneath the elevated
rond at East New York, were being
used as sleeping quarters for strike
breakers.
Sleeping Men Rescued
The origin of the fire remains a mys?
tery, but -officials of the B. R. T. be?
lieve some inflammable material was
stuffed beneath one of the cars stand?
ing in the rear of the barns and
touched off. The flames caused dense
smoke, but were prevented from spread?
ing by the concrete construction of the
surrounding buildings.
The smoke attracted the attention
of Patrolman Charles Kolb, attached
to the West Thirty-seventh Street sta?
tion, Manhattan and doing strike duty.
With Charles Hogberg, superintendent
of the barns, Kolb organized a bucket
brigade and directed the work of get?
ting the sleeping men out of the cars.
No one was injured.
Harry Williams, nineteen years old,
of 644 College Grove Avenue, Chicago,
who came here as a strikebreaker, was
arrested yesterday In the East New
York car barns for carrying a -black?
jack. He was arraigned in the Gates
Avenue Court and held in $500 bail.

Burglars Carry Away
400 Pound Safe in Auto
Industrious and enterprising burglars
broke into a Liggett drug store at
138 East Fourteenth Street early yes
ter morning.
They sawed the bars of a steel door
to get into a boiler room; then cut a
hole, about four feet in diameter,
through a three-foot wall. This gave
them access to the main office of the
"tore, where they found a 400-pound
xafe, containing between $1500 and
$2.500. the Liggett officials say.
Realizing that to open the safe there
would take time and might attract at?
tention, the burglars removed it
through the same hole which had af?
forded them an entrance, carried it to
a rear lot and there loaded it on an
automobile.
They then proceeded to an isolated
district of Astoria, near Flushing Ave?
nue and Old Bowery Bay Road, where
they cracked the safe at their leisure,
removed the negotiable currency and
went on their way.
Henry Damm, of 643 Tenth Avenue,
I^ng Island City, out for a stroll
through wooded country, came upon
the wrecked safe. Beside it were a
<le<lge hammer and a jimmy. The in?
ner and outer door of the safe lay open.
Papers wer? scattered about, but there
was no loose change in evidence. There
were automobile tracks leading from
the road to the ?pot where the safe
was fouad.
Police carted th? empty safe to the
Astoria station.

Miners Vote to
Resume Work
Action of Men in 18 Penn-(

to Indicate Return of
100,000 More Now Idle
Break Made at Scranton
Leader at Wilkes-Barre In?
sists Wilson Must Re?
open Hearings on Wages
SCRANTON, Pa? Sept. 5.?Voting to
return to work on Tuesday morning,
mine workers employed in eighteen
collieries in District No. 1 of the
anthracite coal region have started a
movement which officials of the United
Mine Workers of America believe will
result in 100,000 men in three districts
who have been on "vacation" since
? Thursday returning to their jobs be
; fore the end of the week.
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
WILKES-BARRE, Pa., Sept. 6.?
President Wilson has it in his power
to decide whether 150,000 miners will j
continue to give up $750,000 daily in
wages and if coal companies will con?
tinue to lose 300,000 tons of coal a day. |
Mr. Wilson has the right to reopen |
wage negotiations, according to union i
miners, and if he agrees to do so the
insurgent miners will go back to work, j
This is the gist of a statement made
by Enoch Williams, insurgent leader,
to-day.
Williams has called a meeting of
delegates from all locals for Tuesday
morning in this city, and he will advo?
cate a return to work if the President
reopens negotiations and if a commit?
tee in whom he has confidence is ap?
pointed by miners to take care of their
case. What the miners will do if the
President refuses to reopen the nego?
tiations is a matter for conjecture.
There will be no work to-morrow,
Labor Day.
The insurgent executive committee
met in Union Hall, Scranton, this morn?
ing and decided to continue the policy
adopted Saturday night. The commit?
tee heard reports from the various "va?
cation" districts and bitterly scored
the "propaganda" of coal operators and
union officials, who have been urging
the miners to return to work while
their affairs are in an unsettled condi?
tion.
Williams made a report, and th?
committee decided a session of all dele?
gates who participated in the "vaca?
tion" vote is necessary.
Vfilliams said a parade of miners
would take place in Old Forge to?
morrow, and issued a statement that
those who believe the removal of John !
T. Dempsey yesterday from the office of
president of District No. 1 means that
the insurgents will advocate an imme?
diate return to work have a wrong im?
pression.
N. Y. C. Shows Faster
Freight Car Movement
Average Daily Travel for July
Was 26.8 Miles; Roads Try
to Speed Up to 30 Miles
First definite results of the rail?
roads' efforts to speed up freight car
movement to an average of thirty miles
a day were announced yesterday by the
New York Centrai. Eight roads of the
system show that for July the average
i daily movement per car was 26.8 miles,
as egainst 25.J lor the previous month.
"If all American railroads accom?
plish the thirty-mile-a-day average for
their freight car movement," says a re?
port of the road, "it would be equiv?
alent to adding 735,000 cars, or 30 per
cent to railroad equipment. In 1919
the average daily mileage of freight
cars was for all roads 23.1 miles, and.,
.the total ton mileace was, in round
figures, 395,000,000,000. The thirty
mile car average would raise the total
ton mileage of freight hauled from
395,000,000,000 to about 513,000,000,000."
The loaded car record shows that
the New York Central lines during the
first six months this year, despite the
losses due to tho April-May strikes,
handled 4,693,146 loaded freight cars,
as against 4,241,766 in the same period
of 1919, an increase of 451,382 carloads,
or 10.64 per cent.

100,000 at Coney
Yesterday; Strike
Loss Is $1,000,000
Sunday Business at Resort
Falls Far Below Normal
for Day Before Holiday;
Traction Service Better
Although subway and elevated trains
and surface cars were running to Coney
Island regularly yesterday and about
100,000 persons visited the resort, the
business men of the island declared
that the crowd, with Labor Day in
prospect, would have been two or three
time as great except for the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit strike. They declared
that they had lost $1,000,000 in the
week the strike has lasted.
Whatever sum has been lost has come
out of their own pockets, for the last
payments on concessions and leases
were made several weeks ago. Ordi?
narily the Coney Islander relies upon
his last two weeks of business for his
reason's profits. The Mardi Gras will
start next Monday and end the follow?
ing Sunday.
Brighton Beach trains from Man?
hattan were running yesterday to the
Brighton Beach station; West End
trains to Bay Parkway, and Sea Beach
trains to Kings Highway, whilj Culver
line trains and the Smith Street trol?
ley cars ran through to Coney Is'and.
The streets of the resort were jammed
with busses, which carried passengers
to the island from the temporary
terminals of the first three lines. Most
of the bus drivers charged 25 cents
for the ride.
The Smith Street trolley line was
kept in operation all night under the
guard of police, who patroled its tracks
in automobiles.
The reserves of the Coney Island
police station were called to the yards
of the West End terminal about 1 a. m.
Sunday by a report that men had been
seen tampering with the switches. No
intruders were there when the police
arrived, however, nor were the switches
damaged.
A Brighton Beach train pulled in at
2 a. m. with five windows broken by
stones, which had been thrown at it
at the Neck Road station. No one was
hurt in the bombardment.
A Smith Street car in charge of
Robert Harrison, motorman, crashed
into a baker's wagon at West Fifth
Street and Neptune Avenue. Three
men who were in the wagon required
medical attention.
Japanese Marquis Asks
For Free Hand in Corea
Tells American Conjrressmen
He is Hopeful of Settlement
Of Immigration Question
TOKIO. Sept. 5.?Marquis Okuma,
one of Japan's elder statesmen, re- !
ceiving the party of American Con- j
gressmen to-day, asked that Japan be
given a free hand in Corea and China,
where her intentions, he said, were
directed toward the betterment of
conditions. Sixty years had elapsed
without the unification of the civiliza?
tion of the East and the West, for
which he had constantly striven, sard
the Marquis, but he was convinced, he
declared, that it would eventually ma?
terialize.
The immigration question bristles
with difficulties, continued Marquis
Okuma, but he said he was hopeful
of an amicable solution because he.
' had faith in the intelligence of the
I American legislators. Japan, he de?
clared, had acquiesced in the American
I annexation of Hawaii and the occupa?
tion of the Philippines, accepting the
explanation that it was for the benefit
of tho people affected. Similarly, he
added, America should recognize
Japan's good intentions in Corea and
Siberia.
Women to Replace Aged
Pennsylvania Watchmen
New Rule Will Place Fair Ones
at Many Grade Crossings
of System
Special Dispatch to Th? Tribune
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 25.?"The an?
cient philosophers, who contended that
woman was the higher type of human?
ity, had the right dope," declared a
Pennsylvania Railroad official to-day
after making the announcement that
the company had decided to replace
i many of its old watchmen at grade
j crossings with women.
"Wo are going to use women all over
I the system," he declared. "Women, to
! my mind, can do anything that man
| can do. She proved that during the
! war?and emphasized it."
"Women will make ideal watchmen.
They are conscientious, painstaking,
alert and efficient in every respect. I
have very little doubt that an organ?
ization of women could run the whole
Pennsylvania Railroad or any other in?
dustrial, financial or commercial corp?
oration just as well as the men are
doing it to-day. May be a little better
in some instances."
It has been the policy of the Penn?
sylvania not to hire men more than
forty-five years old. During the war
and recently men below that age have
been hard to get and as a result a
number of men yell advanaced in years
have been guarding the crossings. The
rule is not ironclad, the company tak?
ing into consideration employees who
have been in the service a number of
years and not fit to perform other
duties. Instructions have been issued
that where men under forty-five years
eld are not available for these posi?
tions women shall be hired.
It is expected that a number of
women will replace the older men on
the Monongahela and other divisions
of tho Pennsylvania system in the near
future, and it is likely that in the near
future alert women will be seen stand?
ing beneath the "stop, look, listen"
cross-arm sign on all lines where men
used to stand armed with the red flag.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 5.?Fresh
successes by General Wrangel against
the Soviet forcer, north of the Crimea
are reported in dispatches received
here. General Wrangel, it is declared,
is throwing back the Bolsheviki upon
the Dnieper.
The counter offensives of General
Wrangel have succeeded in Taurida
Province, Crimea. The Bolsheviki, how?
ever, are attacking with increased
forces in the peninsula region, and
also are pressing back Wrangel's troops
from Ekaterinodar.
A Bolshevik mission has arrived in
Angora. It includes the Tartar Ivasoff
and Nouri Pasha, brother of Enver
Pasha, the Young Turk leader.
Advices received from Trebizond
show that the Bolshevik propaganda is
making headway slowly. Assurances
have been given that the lives of Amer?
icans and their property will be re?
spected. The Nationalists continue to
enlist troops and to levy taxes and
seize food.
Turkish families continue to abandon
their homes in Thrace and move into
Bulgaria.
WARSAW, Sept. 5?Another detach?
ment of anti-Bolshevik Russians left
Warsaw yesterday to join General
Wrangel. The detachment is travelling
by way of Rumania and the Danube.
Eighteen thousand men have gone from
Warsaw so far to take up arms with
the Wrangel forces.
Last night's Polish communiqu? as?
serts, with regard to the fighting be?
tween the Polish and Russian Soviet
forces, that between Wlodowa and
Dubienka, on the center of the front,
the Russians launched an attack with
the intention of forcing a crossing of
the Bug, but were repulsed.
It is asserted that the Poles have
learned that at Berzec the Russians
were compelled to fight under the
pressure of machine guns from the
rear.
Poles Advance on Galician Border
In the region of Belets, on the old
Galician border southeast of Zamosc,
the Poles are advancing and repeated?
ly breaking the Soviet resistance.
To the east of Lemberg the Poles
have occupied the railway junction of
Krasne (midway between Lemberg and
Brody), after hard fighting.
An attack on Polish forces by the
Lithuanians with machine guns and
artillery in the region of Seiny, thirty
five miles northwest of Grodno, is an?
nounced in Polish reports from the
northern front. The reports say the
attack was unprovoked, and that the
Lithuanians had received orders to oc?
cupy Augustowo.
The Polish press comments on the
Lithuanian action as inexplicable, as
the provisional frontier between Po?
land and Lithuania has not been
reached by the Poles. The latter con?
tend that the Lithuanians are occupy?
ing several "localities on the Polish
side of that frontier.
Lithuanian Negotiations End
It is also announced thfct the ne?
gotiations regarding the frontier and
the future relations of Poland and
Lithuania hare been broken off and
that the Polish delegates are returning
to Warsaw. These delegaba comprise a
special mission which went to Kovno
about a month ago to confer with the
Lithuanians. It is said the Supreme
Council has been informed that the
Lithuanians propose a new line of de
markation running through Marggra
bowa, Augustowo and Szezuczyn.
It is understood the Lithuanian gov?
ernment places the responsibility for
the hostilities upon the Poles, asserting
that the Lithuanians were compelled to
defend themselves. The Poles, on the
other hand, declare the Lithuanians
opened fire first.
Last night's Polish communiqu? as?
serts that the attack by Lithuanians
' upon the Poles was in pursuance of an
understanding between the Lithuanians !
and the Russian Bolsheviki. The state?
ment says the Lithuanians have crossed
the Curzou line, the tentative Polish
boundary drawn by the Allies, without
declaring war.
lit was announced in Lithuanian ad?
vices on September 2 that the negotia?
tions between the Poles and Lihua
nians over the boundary had been
I broken off, the Lithuanians asking the

Peace of Erin
Hangs On Fate
of MacSwiney
I (Continued from saje one)
will pay with his life for the govern?
ment's decision.
From The Tribune's European Bureau
Copyright, 1920. New York Tribune Inr.
LONDON, Sept. 5.?All tho news?
papers are commenting freely on the
case of Lord Mayor MacSwiney. One
periodical says that nine out of every
ten Englishmen favor the release of the
Lord Mayor. Whether these figures are
correct would be difficult to determine,
but it is certain that only a small
minority of the press supports the
policy of the government in k??eping
him in prison. On the other hand,
organs of every shade of political
opinion are clamoring for his release.
A movement has been started to get
every member of Parliament to tele?
graph his opinion to the Home Secre?
tary and to tho- press. Nearly a score
already have said that they believed
MacSwiney should be prevented from
starving to death. Among the mem?
bers expressing opinions publicly are
Conservatives, Laborites, Coalition Lib?
erals and Independent Liberals.
Newspapers differing so widely in
political opinion as The Times, The
Daily News, The Daily Express, The
Daily Herald, Westminster Gazette
and The Evening Standard are urging
the government to reverse its decision.
No question has arisen in this country
in recent years on which the govern?
ment's policy has been criticized in so
| many different quarters.
j For the first time since the Easter
rebellion of 191C a flock of French cor
, respondents has settled in Ireland.
They have been sending to their news
! papers rather startling accounts of
j conditions there. The MacSwiney case
also is being fully reported in the Paris
I journals.
Hylan's Appeal Not Displayed
i Needless to say, the British are an
. noyed by the criticisms made in for?
eign countries, us they consider Ireland
a domestic problem. Although Mayor
Hylan's message to Premier Lloyd
George, seeking the release of Mac?
Swiney, was buried in the news or not
published at all, because it was con?
sidered insulting, reports of the long?
shoremen's strike in New York in pro?
test against the treatment of Arch?
bishop Mannix and of Frank P. Walsh's
appeal to President Wilson were dis
| played prominently by the newspapers.
Public opinion leans toward Muc
Swiney on humanitarian and not on
political ground^. But political capital
is being made out of the situation. A.
G. Gardiner, writing in The Daily
News, says that the Premier has been
swayed by Sir Edward Carson and Win?
ston Spencer Churchill, Minister of
! War, and that the government's pres
? ent policy in Ireland is due to the po?
litical influence of these two states?
men.
Sees New Irish Movement
i II. W. Massingham, editor of The
Nation, another political opponent of
: Lloyd George, says: "Government of
Ireland by England has ceased to ex?
ist."
The editor of The New Statesman
thinks that the MacSwiney case may
prove "the starting point of an en?
tirely new pro-Irish movement," which
will result eventually in the British
government permitting the establish
[ ment of an Irish republic.
' The Saturday Review, which would
I let MacSwiney die if he won't eat,
| criticize? the Premier, but urges no sur
! render. The Spectator is another peri?
odical which has no sympathy for the
| dying Lord Mayor, but which criticizes
| the government for its handling of the
; Irish problem.

?and he is unable to speak to visitors.
The hunger strikers' relatives are al?
lowed to visit them whenever they
: choose.
The Cork Nurses' Association has of
! fered the services of its members free
i to the Deputy Lord Mayor that the
i nurses may attend the hunger striking
| patients day and night. It was asserted,
j however, that the Deputy Lord Mayor
1 has been unable to arrange for an ac
I ceptance of this order by the prison
? authorities.
The period these men have gone
, without food is a record for Irish politi
I cal prisoners. The longest previous
i hunger strike occurred in the Worm
| wood Scrubbs prison in England last
?April and lasted twenty-three days.
Fifty-one arrests were made under
the curfew 1 -.w last night in Belfast.
Tho suburban roads were held to-day
I by tho military and police, who stopped
i all i.iotorists.
! M'Swiney's Brother Hopeful
Peter J. MacSwiney, brother of the
; T.orc! Mayor of Cork, who is now on a
hunger strike in a British prison, has
: received no direct information as to
his brother's condition for several
? ?lays, according to a statement he
I made at his home, 220 East Thirty
I first Street, last night.
If the Lord Mayor is released his
! brother believes that he will survive.
j "He has tremendous will power," he
| said. "That has kept him alive in
j prison. I think he would get well if
i he were released at once."

Schiff Reports
Europe Needs
Support of U.S.
France, Belgium, England
Are Rapidly Recovering
From Effects of War,
Returning Banker Says
-,
People Are Hard ?at Work
j American Good Will Is
More Desired Now Than
j Her Financial Assistance
Mortimer L. Schiff, banker, who went
| abroad four weeks ago on a business
; trip to England, France and Belgium,
? returned yesterday from Havre on the
1 French liner France, convinced that
the- people of Europe have no faith in
the League of Nations.
? "It is apparent," he said, "that the
j great bulk of the people abroad do not
j want the league. Even those who for
j merly believed in it have come to re
! gard it as a Utopian dream, which
j never can solve the problems that now
| confront Europe.
"It has become increasingly evident
to them that some other means must
| be found to insure the peace of Europe
j and the observance of international
obligations, and that what is primarily
' necessary tu accomplish this is unity
of purpose among the allied nations
. rather than an artificial formula.
Want Our Moral Support
"They want and need our moral sup?
port in this even more than our finan?
cial aid. and while there are some who
Ptill claim not to be able to under?
stand our present abstention from the
solution of their problems the great
majority seem now to appreciate that
our support and cooperation can be
given only in a form which does not
conflict with our traditional foreign
policy.
"During my brief stay abroad I vis?
ited only England, France and Bel?
gium, and the time at my disposal did
not permit of a very intensive study of
European conditions.
"The impression which I have re?
ceived, however, from what I have seen
and learned is that Europe is still suf?
fering from the effects of the treaty,
which has created artificial economic
barriers, has engendered racial animos?
ities and has bred suspicion instead
of confidence.
"As a result, serious political situ?
ations still exist, industrial rehabili?
tation has been retarded and national?
istic aspirations are making difficult
the enforcement of the just claims of
? those who have suffered so grievously
: through the war.
"With all that, and notwithstanding
i the accumulated burden of the war,
| considerable progress appears to have
; been made in England, France and Bel
: gium in reestablishing industry on a
i peace basis.
Europe Hard at Work
"Of Central Europe I cannot speak
from first-hand knowledge, but there
also sounder business conditions seem
to be developing, although the political
and inter-racial situation continues
I acute.
"I was particularly impressed by the
; extent to which normal conditions have
already been restored in ?the lmmj-A '
