LAST OF FRENCH . CONVOY FLEET IS HOMEWARD BOUND Took Part in Conveying and Protecting the American Cargo Transports Dur
 ing the War
By Associated Press

New York, March 22.-The cruiser Gloire. the last of a fleet of five French warships sent to American waters early last year and placed ua- der the command of Vice Admiral Gleaves to have a part in the convoy ing and protecting of American cargo transportation, left here last night for France.
 The unheralded departure of this cruiser brought to close a little known incident which reflects the un- ity of action between the allied pow CTS and the United States. While the American soldiers were fighting in France under the direction of a French generalissimo, and American warships were operating in the North sea under direction of the commanding officer of the British grand fleet, five French warships. the Gloire, Montcalm, Conde Marseillaise and Dupetit Thouars, all cruisers, had their base in American waters and were under direction of the commap pder of the American con voy and transport forces.
 The duties of these ships were to take their turn with American war vessels in the conveying to the Bay of Biscay American ships carrying sup plies for the American army and while on this duty one of them, the Dupetit Thouars, paid the supreme sacrifice, falling victim to a German submarine last August as she was approachins her port of destination. It has not generally been known that the Dupetit Thouars was on voyage from the United States when she met her fate.

MINES ALL CLOSED NDMEN ARE IDLE
 AT RUSSELLV|LLE
Continuation of Long Wage COntrOversy-Indications Point to Shutdown for
 Long Period

Russellville. March 22.-tSpecial.)- )-Every brown ore mine in the Russellville iron district, excepting two, which employ not more than 40 men, is closed, and between 1200 and 20G9 persons representing a monthly pay roll of s4o,oOo are jobless as result of wage disagreements between ike miners union and the operating companies. The last of the big ore mines has closed for an indefinite time, and to- night the employees are planning for the future.
 The Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron com pany, the largest operator of brown ore mines in this district, has informed it's employees that the plants will be closed for an indefinite time, and W. J. Porter superintendent of the mines, has indicat- ed to citizens of Russellviile that the plants will not begin operation again un- til October l, if at that time.
 Some employees of the company have been informed that they must vacate their houses, which are owned by the company, and all have been notified not to begin to plant their spring gardens this year.
 Although no definite statement has been made by the company or the miners union, it is known that the closing down has resulted from long disagreement over the wage scale. The miners went on a 4S-hour strike late last year. As a result the government sent representa- tives here and an agreement was made whereby the average wage scale for conn., mon labor became $40 day. The men then returned to work.
 Early this week the company notified the miners that the price of it's products did not justify the continuation of this scale and stated that a reduction to the average of 5 for unskilled labor was nee essary The miners declined to accept the reduction.
 A break occurred in the machinery of one of the plants of this company early this week, The superintendent informed the union that the men must lose one hour or more while repairs were being made The men declined to have one hour stricken from their pay.
 The next news was that the plant would be closed. Instructions have been issued to all foremen to remove all brass parts and trimmings from the machinery, to place all locomotives under sheds and to cover all perishable implements. This is taken to mean that the mines will be closed several months
 Among other mining companies which are closed are the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company and number of smaller mines. The only ones operating in the brown ore district today were wagon mines which employ not more than 40 men.
 Members of the union are preparing to insist that, no cut be made in wages when the mines are started. It was re- ported in Russellvile today that the 10. cal union has $9300 collected to spend in the fight and that the general miners union will be called upon for assistance if necessary. The fund the local union has is less than one-half of the semi monthly pay roll of the mining companies ] operating in this district.
