Hoover declared. when asked during
his testimony before the congress
sional subcommittee Tuesday II such
a need yet existed. The poor in all

CONFERENCE ENDS TENDING TO
END COAL STRIKE.
PRESIDENT LEWIS OF UNITED
MINE WORKERS SCORES
GOVERNMENT.
western Newspaper Union New. Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Nov. 2S.-An abrupt
end came to all attempts to settle the
nation wide coat strike by peaceful
agreement. Miners and operators
spent n black afternoon In emblttered
debate over the government proposal
for IA per cent wage increase, made
by Fuel Administrator Garfield, re-
jected 1t and every other proposal
that was forthcoming, and then dis.
solved, sine die.
Participants went home and where
the break left coal strike conditions
no one OF them, miner or operator,
would say. Likewise In official quar-
ters there was silence.
Acting President John l.. Lewis OF
the mine workers, though refusing to
say one word as TO the strike Itself,
which theoretically was called off In
obedience TO Federal Judge Ander-
sons injunction holding 1t violation
of the Lever act for wartime food and
fuel control, scored the government
soundly AT the conclusion of the con-
ference. So did William Green, secre-
tary of the miners.
Operators, though accepting the
government proposal definitely in n
letter of explanation to DR.. Garfield.
which they made public, intimated
that the government refusal TO allow
price increases would bear recOnsid-
Grafton.
1t was behind closed doors that the
coal situation reached Its climax,
after involving the full attention of
the federal government for two days
previously. There was much heated
oratory, but L. W. Guthrie Of Pitts
burg, acting chairman Of the opera
tors committee. described the parlla-
mentary procedure succintly ns he
came out. The operators. by n pre-
arranged plan, notified the miners
committee for the central competitive
field of their acceptance of DIR. Gar
fields plan.
This the miners promptly voted
down. In turn, the miners put for
ward counter proposal, that Secre-
tary Wilson's suggestion for 31.60
per cent wage increase be granted,
and this the operators fatty refused.
For the third time, the operators re-
newcd their formal offer Of arbitra-
tion, and this the miners voted down.
Unanimously, an adjournment was
voted.

SHARP WORDS FROM NOTE TO
PRESIDENT cARRANzA BY
UNITED STATES.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The govern
ment's note to Mexico, made public
AT the hour Of Its delivery In Mexico
City, renews the request for the i'm
mediate release OF William o. -Jen-
kins, the American consular agent I'm
prisoncd ut Puebln, and bluntly
charges Carranza with attempting to
becloud the issue. In the shurpest
language yet addressed to the Car
ranza government, and probably more
pointed than one government usually
addresses another in n formal diplo-
matte communication, the United
States says II regards Mexico's plea OF
judicial reasons for not releasing
Jenkins us ''mere excuses" and gives
notice that 1t. will not be drawn away
from the main fact and into II dis
cussion of "irrelcvant and unimport-
ant matters"
The attitude of the Carranza gov
ernment In the matter. the note says,
has been to assume willful indif-
ference to the feelings of the Ameri-
can people and the conclusion drawn
by the government is that Mexico has
sought TO. divert the attention Of the
American people and the Mexican
people as well from the fact that Pu-
ebla, second largest city In Mexico, Is
overrun by bandits. while the civil
authorities are negligent"
The ultimatum was served and no
time wns given In which this govern
ment expects jenkins to be released
and neither was there any statement
in the note as to what the course OF
the American government would be IL
the renewed request for his release
was denied
After conference with Secretary
Lansing, Chairman Porter Of the
House foreign affairs committee ex-
pressed the opinion that 'the State
Department means business this time"
Chairman Porter indicated that he
was In accord with the governments
present policy In dealing with the
Mexican situation.
''The danger to the United States
II this condition of continual unrest
and feeling Of hostility toward us in
Mexico" Mr.. Porter said, ''lIes In the
fact that It provides fertile field for
anti-American propaganda and even n
base for attack upon the United
States by any foreign country that
affected n combination with Mexico.
BY this the spirit, II not the letter. Of
