universal
London. April J. The
cessation of work by the coal miners
lias taken effect with remarkable
quietude, and under circumstances n
strong contrast with all recent ta
bor disputes, whether on tit, part f
the railway men, the miners--or in
dustries. The course of these pre
vious dispute was chara.-tci ized bv
active conferences and n igo:ia;ioi..
between the parties concerned and
ministers and other members of the
government, all of whom displayed
anxiety to find a path of settlement.
On this occasion there has been
nothing of the kind since, 'fhursf
day's meeting of the board of trad?
Neither side has made the least ap
proach toward negotiations.',' 'fins is
explained partly, as far as iiti gov
ernment is concerned, by the fact
that abolition of control of t'.f! coal
industry is considered to relieve ihs
ministers of responsibility of inter
vening in the dispute. The govern
ment holds that it is a matter ti be
ettled between the minets and mine
owneis.
Order IgnoreJ.
L'l to the present, the order with-
iHSiwing the engineers and pumpmen
finiii the mines h;is been i,;iorcc.
Wht thcr' this : with the cognizance
of the mintrs' federation leaders,
owing to the general deprecation
a;;aiti.t removing the men on the
p.iit of the newspapers, fs not
known. Inn the general bt'icf -expressed
is the men have not been
withdrawn owing to a desire not to
prejudice the situation pending a
'c.mference of labor's triple alliance
i. et 'Wednesday. I'ntil then events
lr,'i;iMv will mark time.
A nfiM sequel V' the dispute is
that the house i -f lords will reas
semble eight days before' the time
stipulated for them to do so. Tne
house of commons had adjourned
until April 4 and the house of. Ion's
until April 12. Under the emergency
proclamation, the government is
bound to convene parliament 'within
five days. Hence, a "royal proclama
tion was issued last night convening
both houses for Monday. "
Lively Debates Expected.
Lively debates are anticipated in
parliament, as not only the laborite.
hut the liberal press, while conced
ing that the miners under the present
exceptional depression must expect
some reduction in wages, throw the
whole blame for tiie dispute upon
the government on the ground that
the abolition of government con
trol of mines five months before the
proper time, merely because the in
dustry is suffering adverse conditions
is unjustified and unfair to the min
ers. It is argued that, i instead of
the mine owners having given the
miners an ultimatum to accept wage
reductions settled by the mine own
ers themselves, an opportunity should
have been civeri for joint discussions.
The coal strike has come at a dif
ficult time fo industry generally.

By The Associated PrM.
London, April 2. Despite the un-compromising"--toiie
of the recent
note of Secretary of State Hughes
in reply to representations by Russia
for the opening of trade relations
with the United States, the principal
objective of the Russian soviet gov
ernment's foreign policy is, and will
continue to be. the establishment
of relations with the United Stages,
according to Leonid Krassin, bol
shevik representative. He" refuses
to recognize the attitude of Wash
ington as aninsurmountable diffi
culty to the establishment of rela
tions with the United States where
by trade would be possible.
M. Krassin gave these views when
interviewed by The Associated
Press today.
He stated that the admission to
America of Russia commercial rep
resentatives was the first require
ment; 'the initial transactions would
then be carried out by means of
cash payments, with the question of
credits, naturally, arising later.
"In its relations with foreign gov
ernments the soviet government is
prepared to respect the principle
of private property and att upon
the policy of exchange of equal
values in trade," said M. Krassin.
"If these guarantees are insufficient,
deposits will be placed, acceptable to
financial institutions. insuring
against violation of contracts."
No predictions or promises of any
great volume of trade were made.
