Coach Jimmy Brokenshire, veil-known mentor of the Fast Mauca Chunk team which is in the Mcun-tain league queried last eight as go the extent of the dismissal of the players, said it was "absolutely" final Asked whether there was any possibility of their being reinstated, he said "absolutely not." School authorities backed up Coacn Brokenshire by stating his word was "final." The action springs from an incident last Thursday afternoon. At that time a group including the eight boys reported for an activities period which is part of the school's curriculum. In some Instances the activities period is taken up with New LNC Order Bans Trips Thru Coaldale Mine Although General Visiting Is to Be Taboo, Dealers May Arrange for Tours General visiting at the Coaldale colliery which for the past several years has attracted many thousands to the Panther Creek Valley, is due to be discontinued completely, "within the next week or two," a Lehigh Navigation Coal Corp, announcement revealed yesterday.

"Serious Interference with colliery operations which results when hoisting is interrupted in the deep shafts to transport visitors' was given as reason for the discontinuance. "The burden of this has become too great with the limitations imposed with the seven-hour day," the company announced. General Superintendent T. D. Lewis stated visitors will be accepted only when arranged through dealers and said the general visiting will be discontinued "within the next week or two." The decision to discontinue visiting apparently was precipitated by break ing of a large bed plate supporting the hoisting engines wnicn operate ino.

7 shaft at Coaldale colliery yesterday. A company statement said the cause is undetermined but indications are that the break resulted from some undue strain. The colliery will not be completely shut down during the repairs but will continue with a limited force and probably some reduction in breaker time. Today only the third level and the east side of the seventh level of the No. 8 shaft will be able to operate, due to the breakdown.

Production at No. mine will continue normally. During the repairs work will be alternated so that tomorrow different parts of the affected mine will operate while those which worked today will suspend. The No. 7 shaft where the break occurred is the shaft used to convey visit ors into the mine.

Visiting naturally is discontinued during the repair period and it Is believed will not be re sumed after, repairs are completed. The company further announced that "in order to take care of visitors who are definitely prospects for burning of anthracite, the company will make an exception for such persons when they are sent to the mine with special request of the company's dealers throughout the anthracite-burning territory."

Dec. 13. OP) Federal Judge Oliver B. Dickinson accused the anthracite Industry today of imposing "inordinately high prices on the consumer" and of paying "fabulous prices" to executives. Judge Dickinson asserted at a hearing on the reorganization of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Co.

that the tendency has been for the management to take "more than its share" of receipts of the business. "A few years ago those who invested in a company got a fair share, but the management managed to get in far more than they were entitled to," Judge Dickinson said. "It may be that eventually a goodly part of it will go to labor we don't know lust what may ine neanng was the second on a request by a group of bondholders that the court take the company out of the hands of its management and place it under the control of "independent trustees." The bondholders charged that the company was being "mismanaged" and operated at a loss. Judge Dickinson later reserved decision on the bondholders' request. J.

Mercer Davis, counsel for the bondholders, cited testimony that the Reading Co. had lost $24,000,000 in surplus since 1932. including an operating loss of $6,284,423 last year, while the Glen Alden a competitor, paid dividends of $7,000,000 and lost only $2,000,000 in surplus during ine same period. Judge Dickinson suggested the only alternative was to order the company to be liquidated. Davis protested that such an order would wipe out the in vestments oi thousands of persons in the $95,000,000 company and would throw more than 11,000 persons out oi woric.

Judge Dickinson expressed belief another concern would take over the mines and operate them. He told Davis that If the company failed to present a plan of reorganization, or me pian was rejected, he would order liquidation. He continued the hearing until later to allow counsel for the company time to make a reply. Named District Manager By Calvert Distillers The appointment of R. S.

Public Opinion iContinued from Page Fourteen) same crew, in spite of the confusion, placed one of the plant's units in active service in about seven hours' time. And every unbiased engineer must admit that, considering all phases of the problem, the crew did remarkably well.

With an experienced crew drawn as a unit from some other station, a crew accustomed to work together, with a mlmlmum of lost motion, there is not a doubt in this writer's mind that the full capacity of the station could be made available in 6 to 8 hours. And that is service for a standby station with a capital The unfortunate burned bearing In no possbile way decreases the ultimate value of this unit, even though it will be made to so appear by the Commissioner. This same unit has given service in the past and will continue to give service just as soon as the gearing trouble has been remedied. In the confusion bound to exist in a crew unaccustomed to working together, the oil supply to the bearing of this unit failed. This same thing happens frequently in plant operation.

In P. P. case the oil supply failure was not detected in time to save the bearing as would be the case in any of their other normally operating plants. The failure Is a failure of operating personnel to function and not a failure of equipment alone. In a normally operating plant the attendant on watch would detect the heated bearing and take the necessary steps to prevent its destruction.

This chronic critic of P. P. L. Co. rates is convinced that in spite of the unfortunate bearing incident, the Allentown reserve plant of the P.

P. L. Co. strategically located in the heart of an important industrial district, in close proximity to a huge coal supply, Is worth every dollar of value claimed for it in the rate base. The general public will be led to believe that the unfortunate bearing incident proves the Commission's contentions, but engineers on the firing line know that the incident was just one of those tough breaks which marred the chances of a complete vindication of the utility's case.

Mr. Commissioner, you may claim victory, on a foul, and the general public may applaud in ignorance of the real merits of the test. But in spite of this, for the men In the industry who are capable of Judging, the verdict must be that the Allentown plant has definitely proven its worth. Its serviceability and usefulness. W.
