STRIKE IN GOAL
MINES OF COUNTRY
SEEMS INEVITABLE
Union Officials Admit Cause is Lost
in Advance Manufacturers
Advised to Fill Bins.
Chicago. Feb. 28. Last hope of
averting a strike of coal miners in
the eastern and midwestern field
vanished today when John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine -Workers,
called oil tne peace conference
which had been scheduled for March
2 at Cleveland. Failure of operators
to respond to the invitations sent
out for the Cleveland meeting was
given as the reason.
With only a month remaining be
fore the expiration of the present
wage agreements, this biow-up of
the latest attempt to get the opera
tors and union officials together has
left small possibility tint any agree
ment averting the strike can be
reached before the date set for the
walkout. So it appear? that the strike
which union officials privprely ad
mit is lost before it starts, must go.
Urged to Lay in Slocks
Illinois operators and officials, re
garding the strike as inevitable, are
redoubling their efforts to arouse
manufacturers and ethers to lay In
as heavy stocks as possible. Heads
of great utilities requiring la -Re
quantities of coal were reminded
that they could not depend upon the
airthracite fields to fill in this time,
as the agreements In both bitumin
ous and anthracite fields expire si
multaneously this year. Union offi
cials have been working to this end
for many years. Heretofore their
strikes have failed because other
fields would Le working when a
strike was called in some locality.

JOHN SCHWATZ BADLY INJURED
Last Saturday while John Swartz
was coming from his home In Ne
hawka to Murray to visit with
friends he arrived in Union on the
train from Nehawka and hearing the
train was delayed which he gener
ally comes on he took passage on a
freight which was coming and while
standing in the car not having time
to take his asat, in switching the
cars one car was thrown against the
string of cars with such force that
Mr. Schwartz was thrown down and
hia hip broken and otherwise bruis
ed and injured. He was thus found
by the employes who brought him to
Murray in the train and the injuries
were dressed by Dr. G. H. Gilmore
and he was taken to Omaha on the
regular passenger train to the Mis
souri Pacific hospital where he was
given treatment. His advanced age,
being near seventy-five, and the na
ture of the injury being so serious
he suffered greatly and reports from
the hospital entertain little hope for
hi9 recovery. Mr. Henry Schwartz,
his son, was up to see the father last
week and says hl9 condition was verv
serious.

- NEXT CONCLAVE
Pope Assures Cardinal O'Connell U
S.is Too Important to Be Ig
nored . by College.
Rome. Feb. 2S. All the American
cardinals Avill be present at the next
conclave," said Pope Pius during an
aiiriienra with PnrHin.nl fWonnpll of
Boston today
There win be no more racing
5,000 mile.j in a vain endeavor to
reach Rome in time for the conclave,"
the pope added. "The United States
is too important to be ignored as she
has been. I -shall see to it that what
happened at the last conclave shall
not occur again."
The audience with Cardinall O
Connell lasted for an hour during
which the pope held intimate con
versation regarding the American
church and the Catholic university
"The university must be a shrine
of learning." he continued. "It is the
purpose of the university to mould
intellectual leaders and endow them
with deep erudition, guided by prin
ciples of faith. It is all right to build
great basilicas and great buildings
but the essential thing is to make
learning the important aim cf all
those activities.
"Oh what a wonderful country you
have. There the church is free, real-
Iv free, as it is nowhere else. There
the government respects religion
Therefore the government has the
right to all that religion can give.
It is a fair exchange.
"I know, too. how hard the clergy
of America -work. That is the reason
why they have the respect and love
of the people. Americans are a prao
ticable people. They . recognize the
value of earnest men. There Is a won
derful future in store for America,
especially in these trying times when
Europe is- passing through such an
anxious period.". ,
REPEAL Gf .VOL

BY LABOR UNIONS
Executive Council o. Federation of
Labor Calls cn P&Jiic to Join
in Campaign Against it.
Washington. Feb. 26. Repeal of
the Volstead prohibition enforce
ment act and substitution of a meas
ure preroitting sale of light wires
and beer was urged today by the ex
ecutive council cf the American Fed
eration of Labor in a statement
which called upon all citizens to join
with the labor organizations in a
campaign with these objects in view.
The statement denounces the Vol
stead act as "a decile and moral fail
ure" and a dangerous breeder of dis
content and contempt for all law."
The council, which concluded a
week's session Saturday night, pre
viously announced its intention to
participate in the congressional elec
tion through a nonpartisan campaign
committee which will endorse and
opposse candidates of major politi
cal parties, or enter independents if
that course is considered most effec
tive. "Before this decision was reach
ed." the council's announcement
said, "there was caused to be made
an exhaustive Investigation of the
Volstead act. It was shown by this
investigation that there had ibeen:
"A 'general disregard of the law
among all classes of people, includ
ing those who made the law.
"Creation of thousands of moon
shiners among both country and city
dwellers.
"Creation of an army of bootleg
gers. "An amazing increase in the traf
fic In poisonous and deadly concoc
tions and drugs.
"Increase in unemployment."
"Increases in taxes to city, state
and national governments, amount
ing to approximately $1,000,000,
000 per year."
The federation did not protest
against the constitutional amend
ment embodying the prohibition pol
icy, the. statement emphasized, but

ney of the ways, and means commit -
tee had conferred with President '
Harding at the White house.
Emphasizing that the suggestion
was his own, Mr. Mondell said it
was well known that the house in
tended to pu.-s a bonus measure at
this session, and that a little delay
might serve "to clear the skies." He
ex
xpiained that within a short time,
there probably would be more defi
nite information as to expected sav
ings in expenditures for the next
fiscal year, returns from the foreign
debt, and whether business condi
tions could be expected to improve
to the extent of insuring additional
federal revenues.
Harding's Stand Unchanged
Mr. Mondell and Mr. Fordney
were understood to have apprised the
president formally of the action of.
the special house subcommittee in
rejecting the executive's proposal
that the bonus be financed by a sales
tax and approving instead a bill
without any definite means of raising
the revenue. They would not indi
cate what views the executive nan
expressed but Representative Long -
worth of Ohio, a member of the com
mittee dealing with the bonus ques
tion, said tonight, after a visit to
the White house, that Mr. Harding
still was of the opinion that the
legislation either should be financed
by a sales tax or postponed.
Earlier in the day Mr. Longworth
had expressed the opinion that the
