COAL MINERS
DISSATISFIED
But Talk of Strike Among
Loyal Members of United
Mine Workers Is Less
WILSON'S TELEGRAM
ACTS AS A CHECK
One Mine Official Fears
Trouble As Result of
Award
Wilkjes Barre, Pa., Aug. , 31. Al
though dissatisfaction was expressed
with the award of the anthracite coa
commission, made public yesterday by
President Wilson, strike talk was not
so general to-day among loyal mem
bers of the United Mine Worjters. The
award gives the men wage increases
of 17 and 20 per cent. They asked
for at least 27 per cent.
President Wilson's telegTam to
group of miners saying that, if their
request to him not to approve the
award was a threat to strike, the chal
lenge would be accepted, is expected
to cause dissatisfied workers to act
slowly, according to leaders.
Some miners, who are not acting in
harmony with the officers of the un
ion, have been on strike, closing the
collieries of the Pennsylvania
company and making 10,000 men idle
Washington, D. C, Aug. 31. The
(ward f the anthracite coal commis
sion, approved by President Wilson
yesterday, is characterised as "the
most reactionary decision that has
been made by an industrial tribunal
during the reconstruction period" by
W. Jett l.auck, consulting economist
for the United Mine Workers, in i
statement made publia to-day pre
dieting "trouble in the anthracite
field" as a result of the findings.
"The anthracite workers," he. eaid,
'are asked to accept a minimum day
wage of $4.20 as contrasted with $6
per day for the bituminous miners
granted by the bituminous commis-
ion, which, by agreement, is now be-
ng increased to $7.50 in Illinois and
1.75 or $7 in Ohio and Pennsylvana."
'Die union, he said, would undertake
in all good faith to accept and enforce
the award.
The price of anthracite coal to the
consumer should be reduced as a re
sult of the award," Laurk declared.
The anthracite operators advanced the
price of coal at the mines $1 per ton

LONGS TO RETURN
TO UNITED STATES
Monsignor Cerretti, Papal Under Sec
retary of State, Speaks at Ban
quet in His Honor at
Rome.
Rome, Aug. 30.-Monsignor Cerretti.
apal umier secretary of state, and
former representative of the Vatican in
Washington, at a banquet given in his
otior to night by 3l0 Knighl of Col
umbus, said he longed to return to the
'nited States, "the worthiest ""country
in which to live, although it had gone
dxy." The affair was the largest Amer-
an gathering that has occurred in
Rome.
Monsignor Cerretti had Supreme
Knight .lames A. Flaherty of Philadel
phia on his right and Edward I. Hearn,
general commissioner for Europe of the
Knights of ( olumbus, on his left. Then
came 10 members of the Knight's hoard
of directors, including W. Mulligan.
Thomponville, Conn.
"Your isit to Rome has been a ray
of sunshine in the Vatican," Monsignor
Cerretti said. "I never saw the pope
more satisfied than after vour visit.
COSTLY ROADS OFF
GOVERNMENT HANDS
Change Cornea To-night After the Rail
roads Cost Government $600,000,
000 in Six Months.
Washington, D. C, Aug. 31. Esti
mated to have cost the government one
hundred million dollars monthly for
the past six months, the clause of the
transportation act, which guarantees
earnings to railroads of the country
will cease to be effective at midnight
to-night and the roads again will be on
their own resources. Further loans
from the government, however, will
be available from the revolving fund
created by the act.
Definite information as to the cost
to the government of the earnings
guarantee provision probably will not
be known for several months as the
railroads face a considerable tak in
balancing their books in order to give
detailed operation figures. The bureau
of railway economics, however, has
estimated that since the carriers were
returned to their owners on March 1
their earnings have been six hundred
million dollars below the standard re
turn.
Most railroads have certified to the
interstate commerce commission and
treasury that they incurred deficits
during the six months penod and have
asked for advances under the guar
antee clause.

claimed to hae been a friendly wrest

night with Philemon I-slipcrti. His
neck a broken in two places, caus
ing death almost instantly. Laliperti's
horse ran away while he and two com
panions were rushing to a physician's
office with the body.
Jondreau. who was 52 yeara of age.
boarded with Ijiliperti, who is the
father of ten children. He returned
from a trip to lewiston early in the
evening and the wrestling match took
place soon after his arrival, during
which he was thrown to the ground.
Placing the body in a wagon, the
three men started for Yarmouth. While
dashing down a steep hill, one of the
wheels broke, causing the horse to be
come frightened and run away. They
were thrown out. together with the
body, after clinging t the swaying
wagon for a distan-e of several hun
dred feet.
An inest igatton of the men's stories
of the match was being made by the
authorities.
Vermont is looking for a new state
commissioner of education; in fact, has
been looking for one for some time
since it became known to the board
that M. B. Hillegas was desirous of
terminating his work in order to ao
cept a chair in the teachers' college of
Columbia university. Publicity regard
ing Dr. Hillegas' intention was held
up pending the efforts of the state
board to secure his successor; but yes
terdav afternoon the announcement
was made at Montpelier that Dr. Hil
legaa is to leave the position on Oe
tober 1, next, or sootier if arrange
ments can be made.
Several persons have been under con
sideration by the board, it is under
stood; and it is said that the position
was offered Payson Smith, the Massa
chusetts commissioner, who was earn
estly desired by the board. Some time
ago Mr. Smith made known to the
board that he would not accept the ap
pointment. Mr. Hillegas formal resig
nation had been held in abeyance until
yesterday afternoon.
Dr. Hillegas new position brings him
close to the work of the dean of the
teachers' college in Columbia and he
ill have supervision of instruction.
Dr. Hillegas first came to Vermont
when the Carnegie foundation was
making its investigation of the Ver
mont school system, having been on
the committee that did the work." Aft
er thai was completed he Went back to
the faculty of Columbia and, in 1918,
he again came to Vermont, having been
appointed commissioner of education.
Under his supervision the education
al system of the state has been brought
into national prominence more than it
has been in many years. The new
teacher training school will be one of
the first of that kind to be conducted in
the nation. He has developed the sys
tem along the lines which the founda
tion advised. The appointment which
he has accepted gives him a wider op
portunity at a considerably larger sal
ary than Vermont pays.

entitled to benefits of vocational train
ing, 82 were in training and 181, who
