Things m cemlnit along In splen
did fashion," eald Senater Geerge
Wiarton Pepper today, after an all all
nerning conference with Jehn Iv.
Tjewlg, president of the United Mine
Workers. The Senater has been chief
mediator In the anthracite strike situa
tion. "While the strike Is. net settled, It Is
certainly nearing its end," he said. "It
is net settled in the sense that coal is
being dug, but the trend is toward en
early adjustment. I hone that when
the operators meet ngnln tomorrow their
unanfmitv of sentiment, combined with
that of the miners, already expressed,
will result in n speedy settlement."
The operators, It is said, will agree
te Senater Pepper's mediation plan If
President Harding cnlls upon them te
de te.
Jeker In Proposal Alleged
The joker here, it is pointed out in
tome quarters, is this: Such a request
from the President would be accepted
is the "public mandate" the operators
are anxious te receive. Then high
priced coal could be excused upon the
pound the public demanded it scttle
Etnt. get it en stiff terms and must
piy the piper.
Ceal prices nre net due te high labor
tests. It was said today, but te the
freight and dlstributingcests. Sugges
tien is mane ey me miners mm muse
two phases of the situation be inves
tifited. Senater Pepper will confer with Gov Gov
ereor Sproul later today.
The status of the ncace negotiations
between operators and miners Is under
steed te have been dibeussed today at
t White Heuse confcrcnce attended by
Preddent Hnrdintr. Seerefnrv TTniYi-er
and Senater Heed, of Pennsylvania.
senator Keen is said te feel that the
situation Is se delicate that publicity as
te negotiations is inadvisable. He ex
pressed confidence that en adjustment
would be reached, nnd it was indicated
that he felt there was no necessity for
nr further Government move at this
that, ,
Operators Make Statement
Surrender by the oncraters of their
arbitration clause te a hard coal peace
apeetnent Is seen in a statement issued
by the general policies committee of the
operators last night. They expressed
thimielves as willing net only te grant
the old wage scale te be miners until
April 1, 1023, but te contlnue It be
yond that date it the public deems such
action warranted.
Beth sides expect te meet In n joint
conference today, nnd put the finishing
touches en the agreement. It was inti
mated that the mines would resume op
eration after Laber Day.
It was explained by the spokesman
for the operators that the extension of
the old wage tcale would depend upon a
concerted popular demand te reme from
pnanciai, industrial nnd general publle
Interests.

SECRETARY DAVIS FAVORS
BEER FOR STEEL WORKERS
Cabinet Member Writes Boek en
U. S. Laber Conditions
Chicago, Sept. 1. (By A. P.)
James J. Davis, Secretary of Laber,
announces a stand In favor of beer for
steel mill workers In a chapter of the
autoiiiegrapny ej his ute, "The Iren
Puddler," which is new en the press.
As a preface te his observations en
that subject, Secretary Davis likened
the temperature in the tin mills in the
summer time te the Fourth of July in
Ab Ksllllil.
"Water doesn't agree with the stom
ach as well as does beer," is one sen
tence In hlH autobiography where Sec-1
retnry lmvis quotes Himself directly in
conversation with what he termed an
"upllfter."
He also said:
"Capitalism, ns the Communist calls
it, is an Imperfect system. Rut It Is
the only sjstcm that has banished fam
ine. Under communism and feudalism
there was hunger."
Plans for thorough co-operation in
the prosecution of drug sellers end nd
diets arrested ns a result of the crusade
of Judge Monaghan were dlsciiwd at n
conference tedny between Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Gorden nnd United
States District Attorney Celes.
Many drug case suspects ai rested in
the past have managed te ctcape im
prisonment through some slip-up In the
law. The conference was called nt the
suggestion of Judge Monaghan, who
has received the hearty support of the
Federal authorities since his campaign
hegnn. "Les red tape," was the prom prem
ise made by Mr. Celes.
The Judge today issued nn order that
none of the prisoners should be visited
by counsel or ethers without a written
permission from him.
Cannet See Prisoners
Attorneys who thought thnt this order
might be ignored were convinced of its
sincerity when they sought In vain te
see some of the prisoners teany.
Judge Monaghan will conduct the
hearincs of these nrrcstcd en bench
warrants issued by him.
It is expected mere prisoners will be
added te the present big collection be
fore the hearings are started. Judge
Monaghan spid today he bad obtained
much important information from many
of these arrested.
Anether excursion by the police into
the haunts of the users nnd dispensers
of nnrcetic drugs last nipht netted close
te seventy-five prisoners, mere than
had been arrested before lit a single day
since Judge Menaghnn started his drug
war. '
There nre new about 12." prisoners
at City Hall. Seme will be tried as
addicts, while ethers are accused of
selling drugs.
Cell Reems Are Jammed
TJie City Hull cellroems have been
turned into n erltnble madhouse by the
screaming ana ruing et the tinig-crnv-ing
prisoners. They are being attended
te by Police Surgeon Bricker nt City
llall, who is kept busy administering
drugs te these whose cravings cannot
be overcome.
Patrolman Cepcland, of the Third
and De Lancey streets station, was bru
tally beaten when he attempted te ar
i est a drug peddler at Ninth nnd Reed
streets.
After the attack he fired several shots
at the men ns they ran and bleed-stains
were found en the pavement. Copc Cepc
land Is in the Mount Sinai Hospital.
,The raids were conducted by the
same special squads, members of the
vice squad under Lieutenant Lee, Cap
tain Vnn Hern's special squad and
Federal agents.
Round. Up On All Night
Invasion of the haunts of the addicts
began early in the evening nnd con
tinued until long niter midnight.
Only ene of the prisoners was ar
rested en a bench warrant. She ls
Flessie Tayler, Negro, of Redman
street above Eleventh. She is charged
with selling drugs In a restaurant she
operated, nnd is expected te turnlsh
a connecting link between n number
of large drug sellers.
Although many pnrts in the central
ami southern sections of the city were
visited, most of the prisoners were taken
In the vicinity et Ktgnth and Vine and
Eighth and Christian streets.

Captain II. II. Davies, skipper of the
British tank steamer Suwanee, commit
ted suicide nt 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing by jumping into the Atluntlc,
thlrty-five miles nerthenGt of Fivc
Fn thorn Light.
Behind the bare news of the suicide,
which hns preceded the ship, new en
its way up the Delaware River, lies a
story of madness en a "hoodoo craft,
which has lest all her seven skippers
by sulclde nt the end of a veynge that
began en the 13th of the month.
Captain Davies, impelled by the same
mysterious impulse that sailermcn say
has led shipmaster after shipmaster te
escape from the fear and horror thnt
haunted him by cheesing a violent death
nt his own hand, sprang te death from
the deck where he had seen his own lit
tle son killed two years nge.
Since thnt dny nt sea when a swift
accident crushed out the life of the boy
lie idolized, Cnptnln Davies lias been
a madman, his shipmates say; sane
enough nt times, but always melan
choly, nnd showing plninlv by siens
his shipmnkes 'could net mistake that
he wni the Uctlm of a recurrent in
sanity. The Suwanee, with flag flying nt half
must, is teaming slowly te her deck nt
Pnulsboie, N. J., where she will take
en a cargo of lubricating oil for expert
te the British Isles.
IHag Oave Werd of Tragedy
Rumer of trnscdy nt sea preceded the
Suwanee en her veynge in from the
Cure. She pat'cri into the bread mouth
of Delaware Bay at 4 :30 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, dnylight-snving time.
Even then her ling was flying nt hnlf
ninsl. The craft wns acting mysteri
ously, for nfter Fhe had proceeded up
