Angered by tho arrest of one of their
number, after they hod given a
rip-roaring "send-off" to the lied and
Blue football eleven, bound to ' New
York for its clash with Dartmouth,
3000 University oE Pennsylvania stu
dents this morning stormed City Ilnll,
and demanded the release, of the
prisoner.
During the protest demonstration
other nrrests of students were made.
Thn first clash with the police oc
curred at Nineteenth and Market streets
as thp classmen were "snakcelnncing"
along Market street. It was nt that
tinttit flint .Tnlin C. Unwell, eighteen
years old, of Atlantic City, one of the
ittiirlrntn. inn nrrpsted.

RESENT ARRESTS IN
The trouble was precipitated when
Mounted Patrolman Frank liuchlcr, sou
'of Lieutenant Uuehler of the traffic
squad, tried to clear a cluster of
students away from a stalled trolley
car.
Bcuhler's horse backed suddenly and
struck an automobile. The patrolman
was thrown to the street. Tho college
men, it is said, laughed at the mishap
a'rlcl taunted Buchler. According to the
students, the bluccont struck one
student and then placed Howell under
arrest.
Patrolman Is Injured
i Ho was rushed by the young mep,
several of his teeth were losened and
.his face was bruised but he clung to his
" 'prisoner.
In the eastward rusn of me crown
1 lifter that first arrest tho students sur
rounded two women, one with a baby
in- her arms, who were about to cross
Markets street nt Seventeenth. Wit
nesses said the encircling line about
the women plainly wanted to shield
them from the rush. But one woman
became .frightened and fainted. She
was revived on the sidewalk. The other
woman clasped her baby tightly to her
and gradually made her way across the
street.
All the enthusiasm engendered by the
"send-off" to the team, the greatest
demonstration since before the war,
turned into resentment against the
police.
With whoops and cheers the students
ran down Market street to City Hall,
swarmed up the stairways leading to
tho second floor and burst into the
Mayor's reception room.
A spokesman was admitted to the
inner office, where he informed Joseph
Smith, the Mayor'" secretary, of the
student's arrest. The spokesman de
manded the undergraduate's immediate
release.
Race to Cell Rooms
Mr. Smith referred the students to
Superintendent of Police Robinson, in
tho east corridor of City Hall. Into
that office they tumbled pell-mell, and
then, learning that the captive student
was on the sixth iloor.raccd up there.
Tho irani-iinnl nf the collegians tried
to "rush" the bluocoat guarding the
entrance to central station, ynuni pu
trolmen ran to his aid and a call was
sent for the reserves.

were hurriedly named as a committee
to call on the Mayor, and obtain per
mission to enter the hearing room.
But Mayor Smith was absent and the
committee had to address his appeal to
Walker Webb, the Mayor's messenger.
"The police won't let ua into the

CHIEF OF UNIONS FEARS

Cabinet in Special Session.
Officials Prepare for Lengthy
Mine Shutdown
By the Associated Press
Washington, Nov. 7. Sninuel (lorn
pers. president: Matthew Wnll, vice
president, nnd Frank MorrNnn. secre
tary of tho American Federation nt
Labor, railed nn Attorney (ienernl
Palmer today mid wore informed that
the government had not altered its .de
cision to prc Injunction proceedings
unless the strike order was withdinwii.
Mr. (Jompers expressed the opinion
that a settlement of the strike could not
be reached if the govrrihnent enforced
legal mensures iigninst the strike. He
also again called attention to vhnt lie
said would be the effect of "government
by injunction" upon organized labor
generally.
The lnbor lenders' visit' to Mr. Pal
mer occurred shortly before the latter
went to n special cabinet meeting called
bv Secretary Lansing to discuss the
bituminous coal strike in particular and
the industrial situation in general.
Fuel Administrator (iarliold and Di
rector fienernl Hlnes of the railroad ad
ministration were present nt the meet
ing of President Wilson's official family.
Oovcrnment Altitude Firm
Besides Mr. Palmer other spokesmen
of the administration today reiterated
tlmt thn unvernment Is unalterably
opposed to Mr. (iompers's proposal that
the injunction ue witnurawn ns u pre
liminary to the ending of the strike
nnd the negotiation of a new ngrMW.enl
between the miners nnd operators.
Officials said thnt the government's
offer to arbitrate the controversy as
soon ns the strike order, was withdraw n
still was open and thnt unless it was
accepted and the strjke ended there wns
nn course for the government except to
press the court action begun nt
Indianapolis.
Officials in direct touch with the
strike situntion apparently were pre
paring for u prolonged shutdown of tne.
mines. While the railroad administra
tion's central committee would not di
vulgo details of its work, members ad
mitted that arrangements were being
made for full conservation of fuels if
the strike becomes a "hitter end" fight.
U. S. Demands Come First
The decision to deny coal to foreign
ships wns, accepted generally ns provid
ing much additional fuel for domestic
purposes. Complaints ugniust cut
ting off so much ocean tonnage already
have reached this committee. This move
will materially affect the movement of
commodities needed by Huropeau na
tions in reconstruction work, but of
ficials snid the emergency demands of
tho United Stntes must bo the first
consideration.
In West Virginia miners continue to
return in small numbers to the union
shafts, according to reports here. The
nonunion miners were being given every
encouragement nlso to increase their
output and officials reported that pro
duction was increasing satlsfoctorily.
In some quarters the belief prevailed
thnt the strike on Uie edges of the solid
union districts wns losing its force. Tho
opinion wns expressed that the walk
out in such areas wns largely one of
sympathy and a gradual defection of
those miners from the union rnnks was
predicted.
Alarm (her Shortage
From aoinc points stories of alarm
were heard over the low supply of coal,
nnd in these cases consignments of the
fuel -were ordered dispatched speedily.
No actual suffering was believed immi
nent, but the government wns convinced
thnt the consumption now is far greater
than production nfld ictrcnchmcnt is
'necessary.
All renorts thnt Department of Jus
tice officials will nsk for n postponement
when the injunction question is brought
nn nt Indianapolis tomorrow wero de
nied. The government's bi'l of complaint
shows thnt Attorney ficnornl Palmer
seeks to do far more thau merely hinder
the mine union officers in tho further
ance of the strike. The nttorncy gen
eral has asked tho court for n manda
tory Injunction, which, if granted,
menns that the mine union officials must
call off the strike or find themselves In
direct violation ot tne court oroer.
Indianapolis, Ind.. Nov. 7.---(By A.

Colonel McCain Explains "Bank-to-Bank" Clause in
Demand as Presented to the

PHYSICAL IMPOSSIBILITY TO KEEP PRODUCTION UP
TO ANYWHERE NEAR NORMAL UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS
By GEORGE NOX McCAIN
Man" rnrrrrxinniit of h lhnilne Public Iiltrr
CorirloM, 1010, by Public Lcrfocr Co
I ittsburgh, Nov. 7. It is an attempt to secure not n six, but a five
hour working day. The basic demnnd of tho striking coal miners, to which
all other demands, nro secondary nnd subordinated, is n workintr dav of
six hours and five days n week. The
cent is n side issue; it can bo adjusted.
If this demand for decreased working time is granted, it will mean the
permanent closing of thousands of industrial establishments, tho throt
tling of commercial advancement. It would, in reality, bring about as
ncauy as possible to conceive n condition of industrial anarchy.
The more closely this scheme for reduced hours of employment is con-
sidorcd the more sinister does it appear, the more glaringly is its revolu- j
tionary character revealed. Only the operators nnd miner.; themselves!
thus fur have been familiar with the
of labor.
The third party in interest, the -ultimate victim, the "goat," so to
speak, this careless slip-and-go-easy American public, has only a super
ficial knowledge of the situation. It accepts general statements from both
sides, miners and operators, at their superficial value and lets it go at that.
When it is known that the six-hour work-day, or thirty hours a week,
for the miner does not mean in actual practice what it pretends to, and
that six hours per day means only five hours' nctual honest work, or
twenty-fivc hours per week, it is time for this foolish, self-deceived, con
fiding public to perk up, rub its eyes and notico things.
What the Demand Means
In the wnge demand nnd policies
of the miners, formulated nt their con
vention in Cleveland, O., on the 1!21
of September last nnd subsequently
ofheially handed in the grip of n mail
ed list to the operators in Buffalo
three days Inter, appeut these slgnlfi-'
cant"wordy , ,
"WcTCvomKrwid that this convention
demand that all wage agreements that
arc negotiated to rcplucs existing agree
mcuts shall be. based on u six-hour
work day, from bank to bank, five
dnjs per week."
Outside a mining district or the ex
perts in some coul corporation's office
thnt expression "from bank to bank"
is archaic Greek to the mi-consuming
public. It is a 'technical expression,
just ns its counterpart, "from face to
face," is also n technical mining phrase,
which, to the great public thinking In
the language -of the little-traveled, nnny
have something to do with cosmetics or
riding in nn elevntor orrubbing noses;
'anyway, it sounds like it.
In the phraseology of understandable
Pennsylvania and New Jersey BnglMi
a "bank" in the miner's vocabulary is
the mouth of the mine. In the old
days a con! mine was called n coal bank.
From "hank to bank," therefore, menns
"from "the mouth of the pit of mine
back to the month of the mine ngain,"
or from pit mouth to pit month.
"Face to Face" Former System
Under tho former system, or until
November 1 when the strike started,
a miner's working time began when
he lenched the "fnce" of the wall in
the mine or "room" where he wns tak
ing out conl. His woik ended when
he left his room or the "face" to re
turn to daylight and home. UIiIh is
known ns working "from face to face.
Under the new demands for which
they are striking the miner's time be
gins when he reaches the mouth of the
mine or the "bank" nnd ends when
he returns to it nt the close of his
In many mines it is half n mile from
the mouth of the bank to where the
miner digs his conl. Sometimes It is a
mile distant. Part of this distance
he is hauled in a car drawn by mules
or dragged by n motor. It requires,
on a fair average, hnlf an hour to
reach his "room" or the "face where
he works nnd half an hour to return
when his work is done.
He now demands thnt he be paid. for
this hour, which, if agreed to. wl I re
duce the six-hour-dav to just five hours
of nctual work. I'P to the present
strike he worked eight full hours da ly
digging conl. or was supposed to; total
of fortv-eight hours per week. Un
der this new demand he will work just
twenty-five hours per week and thus
cut the bituminous coal production of
the country squarely in half.
There nre thousnnils of men employed
In coal mines who nre paid by the day
or month and not by the ton as arc
the miners. They were formerly paid

If the contention is true thnt a miner

when all is said it will be an extremely
obtuse, dull-witted nnd Bhort.sighted
public that fails to observe that this
simply means cutting the coal supply in
half with nil Its attendant loss and
misery to the nation at large.

U. S. CUTS COAL RED TAPE
Government Temporarily Abolishes
Necessity for Individual Permits
'I he governn t has temporarily cut
the red-tape methods which have been
enforced since the miners' strike to
obtain soft coal.
With the exception of big manufnc-
turers, who order in carload lots, the
nonnld nrn vliiimllv n i,a tnm fnnt.
ing ns before the strike. This condi
tion may last for several days, and
those who want soft conl may now ob
tain It without the necessary permit.
The only consumers required to have n
permit, nre the manufacturers.
The temporary suspension of the
government s ruling is due to the fact
thnt thousands of cars of coal arc now
lined up on many ' of the,, railroads,
and the governmeyt has decided to re.
lease this in order to lessen tho con
gestion. A dealer In touch with cdn
dltioiis said today It was only neces
sary for the dealer to give his order
to the operator direct nncl the conl will
be delivered.
It is probable that the restrictions
requiring a permit will again bo en
forced If It is necessary.
