LLOYD GEORGE
TO CONFER WITH
OWNERS OF Mine
Suggestions May Be Submitted
Leading to Amicable Settle
ment of the Strike

London. April 19-Owners of coal
mines throughout the United King
dom met here today and it was ex-
pected that Premier Lloyd George
would submit to the congress sugges-
tons which might lead to prompt
renewal of negotiations with striking
miners for the settlement of the wage
controversy A formal conference with
the miners leaders was not expected
until Friday when a general confer
ence of the unions will be held here.
but there appeared belief that
means might be found to bring the
parties to the industrial conflict to-
gether without great delay.
A. distinctly favorable atmosphere
regarding a settlement of the conflict
has developed as a result of an ad-
dress made yesterday before the house
of commons by Mr.. Lloyd George
The prime minister declined to alter
his position in opposing national
pool of profits but he likewise stood
firm against attacking the rights of
the unions.

IRISH TO Be MADE
TO ACCEPT HOME
RULEHPLANNED

London. April 19.-Steps to bring
into operation the Irish act providing
for Home Rule in the island. were
taken today by the British govern
ment This law which was described
by King George as "the fruit of 80
years of ceaseless controversy" was
passed by parliament last December
and received royal assent a short time
later. Sim Fein leaders in Ireland
have been outspoken in their opposi-
tion to the measure.
Election of members of northern
and southern Irish parliaments will
be held on May 3, under present plans.
Sheriffs will be directed to proceed
with the preliminary steps of the elec.
tions but it seemed probable that the
southern sections of ireland would
ignore the provisions of the law. The
latter were understood to have made
arrangements for the elections.
The Irish act provides for selection
of senate by the parliament of each
section. After this is done, the two
houses of each parliament will elect
20 members of the council of 40 which
will serve as the connecting link be-
tween the two legislative bodies.

EAST COAST IS
EAGER FOR BALL
GAMES ON SUNDAY

81. Augustine, April 19.-Ministers
of st. Augustine at a meeting last
Friday protested against Sunday golf.
moving pictures, theatrical attractions
and baseball and in resolution called
upon the management OF the local
baseball club to cancel a game with a
Cuban team scheduled for Sunday.
The baseball game was played and
it developed into ten inning 2 to l
affair with the locals holding the big
end of the score. The tying run was
pushed across the plate with two men
down in the last half of the ninth and
after spectators had begun to leave
the park
The Sunday baseball situation is
peculiar. A state law prohibits games
on that day but the city of Pensacola
because of a local law enacted sew
eral years ago by the legislature can
stage them legally. On the East
Coast Sunday baseball has been pop
ular several years. Games have been
played here on Sunday the last three
years without interruption, the police
who always are on hand, confining
their activities to the perseverance of
order and the keeping of automobiles
and spectators away from the foul
lines.
From one end to the other of the
East Coast there is strong sentiment
for Sunday baseball and efforts will
be made at the present session of the
Legislature to amend the laws so as
to permit citizens locally to decide
whether they want games that day.

conditions in Florida for the week

toes. The early hay crops show need
of rain. Some loss of tobacco plants
in North Florida is reported as Il re-
suit of disease.
Dry weather is delaying the ger
mination of cotton. Reports to the
bureau indicate the acreage probably
will show an increase over that of
last year in the old Sea Island belt.
The condition of citrus trees con-
tinues good hut the loss of some fruit
because of dropping is reported. The
peacn crop prospects are excellent as
there was no damage from the recent
low temperatures.
Cucumbers and beans are moving
from Soutn Florida. The cold spell
killed a small percentage of Central
Florida's s beans and melons. West
Florida's vegetable crops are in good
condition.
The Bureau reported the condition
of livestock as generally good and
stated that interest in poultry rails
ing continued.
The supply of farm labor was re-
ported as apparently near normal.

leaders into conference singly. Had
he called for the group who have
represented railroad labor he might
have been suspected enormously

fact that Mr.. Harding has not ASK

confer with him but has adopted
the idea of summoning individuals
FOR advice" he believes nobody
can accuse him Of meddling or for
cling a decision on any group. The
president, moreover, is anxious that
the disputants settle the issue them
selves. He doesn't want the Hard
ing administration to be put in the
position of cutting wages. That
isn't good politics or good econom-
les, especially in . period in which
the governments real policy is to

was necessary during war time,
