HAMMOND MEN ON A SENIORITY STRIKE Philadelphia Reading Coal Iron Colliery Thrown Idle. The 500 employes of the Philadelphia Reading Coal Iron Company's Hammond colliery, located near Girardville, went on strike yesterday in protest of the refusal of colliery officials to recognize seniority rights at the operation. Two men whose names were not on the colliery local uhion waiting list were assigned to employment yesterday, while former employes awaited recall to the colliery. The mine committee immediately objected and asked former employes be given the two jobs. When officials at the colliery said they were without authority to make such changes, a general strike was called.

SHANGHAI, Dec. 19 (U.R) Apparently reliable advice was received at Nanking, the capital today that "Young Marshal" Chang Hsueh-Liang had telegraphed the government resigninr all his posts, consigning temporary control of his army to General Yen Hsi-Shan and announcing his intention to go abroad. As yet, the news lacked confirmation. But it was believed that the release of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, whom the young marshal seized at Sian-Fu in a daring attempt to force a war against Japan, was imminent.

Two giant transport planes left Nanking for Sian-F i and it was believed that the generalissimo and the distinguished group seized with him would return in them to safety. T. V. Soong, former finance minister, a brother-in-law of the generalissimo, left soon after the transports in a third plane, hoping to complete final arrangements for his release and accompany him back to Nanking. General Yen Hsi-Shan, to whom the young marshal was reported to have consigned temporary control of his troops, is pacification commissioner for Shansi ar.d Suiyuan provinces, bordering on Shensi province at whose ancient capital the generalissimo was seized.

He has been negotiating at Tai-yuan for the generalissimo's release. An envoy from the young marshal left Taiyuan today for Sian-Fu after talking to him, and at the same time General Yen cancelled a plan to send two envoys of his own to Sian-Fu to treat for the generalissimo's release. It was believed General Yen may have cancelled his plan because of belief that the generalissimo was sure of safe release. It was learned at the same time that a truce in fighting, requested by the generalissimo so that negotiations for his release might be concluded, had been extended. This news came from unimpeachable sources at Nanking.

Officials were confident that the generalissimo would be back in Nanking tomorrow and the government would again have the aid of China's strong man, its chief hope for unity. The central government in an ultimatum to the young marshal had threatened to attack his army with the strong government force which is surrounding Sian-Fu unless he released the generalissimo today. The generalissimo, however, had aoked the gcvernment to withhold its attack until tomorrow midnight. Today's news indicated that the newly arranged truce would extend for three days including today. The young marshal seemed to have abandoned all hope of enforcing any demands.

His envoy to General Yen Taiyuan was reported to have quoted him as saying: "If it is for the welfare of the nation I am willing to sacrifice my own interests, accomprny Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek to Nanking and submit to whatever punishment is deemed proper." Confirmation was received at Nanking today that Colonel Chiang Hsiao-Hsien, a nephew of the generalissimo and vice commander of his bodyguard, and Hsao Yuan-Chung, former chairman of the government's publicity committee, had died at Sian-Fu of wounds they I received in the troop mutiny when the generalissimo was seized i week ago. HARVEY A. KLOCK Funeral services for the late Harvey Anson Klock, assistant princi pal of the Herndon High School, will be held Sunday afternoon at 2:00, at the family home in Man- data.

"Membe of 'the local details of a man answering Brunos descnp- nriri natmWn electrically operated hoisting engine is in service and large quantities of coal are being mined in the slope, where gangways are being driven at the present time. Another slope has been sunk to a depth of more than 200 feet and a new electrically operated r(VpivPf, anf1 wm hp in hoist was received and will be in stalled in a short time. Taking advantage of one of the major operations of the independent miners, the Stevens Company some weeks ago installed an electric pump and from a 200-foot slope, with a mighty cavern at its bottom, began removal of water. This recess in the coal measures filled with water during a rainy period and had to be abandoned by the independent miners engaged there.

It was this particular water-filled cavern that prompted the Stevens Company and the state department of mines to take action against independent miners when it was feared the large body of water might invade the legitimate Cameron workings. Coal from the Edgewood area operations is being transported to the Trout Run washery, near Tharp-town, where it is prepared for the markets. Some evidence of the danger of which the colliery owners complained at the time the independent miners were engaged there was given several days ago when a section of the improvised road, leading from Edgewood Park to the operations on what was once known as Mt. Poco, collapsed a few moments after a ponderous truck had passed over the locality. It was necessary for the company to send vast quantities of rock from its washery operation to fill in the hole to permit safe pas- sage of trucks.

The cavein was the result of the collapse of an aban- doned independent mine. Reliable FATHER OF WILLIAM V. INGLIS EXPIRES Was a Plorveer in Mining Activities in This Locality. J. Scott Inglis.

92, father of Major W. W. Inglis. president of the Glen A) den Coal Company, died late yesterday at Scranton where he had been a resident many years and where he had been actively identified with the Anthracite industry. Mr.

Inglis began his career in mining engineering and as an operator in this city in the early days of mining here. He was located in Shamokin before Major Pleasants came here as the first representative of what was later to become the Philadelphia Reading Coal Iron Company. The pioneer mining man left here for the Hazleton, Wilkes-Barre and Scranton areas where he developed great mining operations before his retirement many years ago.

New Breaker Is Nearly Completed (Continued worn raee One) Tire breaker, while not nearly so large as the Philadelphia Reading Coal Iron Company's central breaker at Locust Summit, is said to be more modern in its appointments and in coal preparation mechanism. While the machinists and electri- rian; arp installing machinery, a crew of expert glaziers is engaged in the installation of glass. Nearly a solid carload oi glass is required for the multiplicity of windows in the new structure. Men engaged in the work report it will be at least three weeks before all machinery and motors can be placed in position for the trial run of the new plant.

It is expected actual cleansing and shipping of coal will be possible within a month. When completed, the new Cameron breaker will be capable of vastly increased production over the present antiquated plant.
