All efforts by Mr. Lloyd-George
the prime minister, to bring the
miners and the mine owners to-
gether to discuss the differences
which led to the strike in the coal
fields, having failed, the miners
executives went into conference
this afternoon with their partners
in the triple alliance-the trans
port workers and the railway men
to decide when the members of
the allied organizations should be
called out in a sympathetic strike.
Proposal Rejected.
Last nights decision by the
premier, to invite the miners and
owners to a conference this morn
ing at which the first subject for
discussion would be the resump-
tion of pumping to clear the mines
of water, led the general public to
believe a settlement was in sight
and that the impending strike,
promising to be the greatest in the
history of the country, would be
averted.
The miners, however, were ada
mant in their stand insisting there
insiting there should be no res
friction regarding the questions to
be discussed by the conferees, ana
an exchange of letters between
them and Mr.. Lloyd-George failed
to change their attitude.
Strikers Number 1,350,000.
The government was just as
firm in its view that the threaten
ed destruction of the mines by
flooding should be first consided-
ed.
Thus early this afternoon 1t
came to be known that dead
lock had been reached and that
apparently nothing short of
backdow.n by the government
could avert the industrial uphea-
val.
The triple alliance, which is
taken over command of labor's
side of the controversy, has u
membership of 100000 miners,
100000 railwaymen and 250,0OO
transport workers.
The leadership of the stike will
be in the hands of the younger
men who brought about the pres
ent situation in the belief that the
reduction of wages, which the
were asked to accept, would
also be forced upon the other
workers should the miners strike
fail.

Relief Sought
For Onion And
Spud Shippers

Portland, Or, April S.-Milk at
10 cents a quart was being sold by
some grocers today and at IL cents
by others, while residences were
paying 13 to Is cents a quart. This
was the result of a price war start
ed recently by the producers who
began delivering direct to grocers
at a price enabling the stores to
sell at IL cents. The producers
said they took this action because
the distributors had cut prices
paid for milk without making cor
responding reduction to consum-
ers. The distributors today met
the producers prices on deliver
les to grocers but had announced
no reduction to the residences.

S.H.S. BOYS
Confess To
Burglaries
More Money Needed
for Pleasure, Santo
and Johnson Inform
Chief Moffitt

Chief of Police Moffitt an
nounced this afternoon that he
has obtained confessions from
John Elmer Santo. II, and Garth
johnson, 16, Salem high school
boys, in which they admitted hav-
ing burglarized three Salem stores
during the last month.
1--WE needed more money to
have a good time on" Chief Mof-
fit says the boys declared when
they were apprehended.
Narrow Escape Related
Santo, who resides at the Wash
ington hotel, and Johnson, who
lives at 1895 North Commercial
street, admitted, according to
Moffitt, that they robbed the
White grocery and confectionery
store, 533 State street; the Carl
and Bowersox grocery, 38S Court
street, and the Foster and Baker
grocery, 339 North Commercial
street.
After their last job, Chief Mof-
fit says the boys told him, they
shook hands and agreed to go
straight in the future. Their sud
den decision, they said, was the
result Of a narrow escape from
apprehension at the hands OF Har-
ry Rowe, Of the merchants pa
troll.
Locks We're Forced
Santo and Johnson told Chief
Moffitt they were about to leave
the store when they heard Rowe
approach. The officer failed, how
ever, they said, to discover that
the lock on the door had been fore
ed and passed on. 1t was then
they resolved to take no more
chances.
Entrance was gained TO all
three Of the stores by forcing the
locks on the back doors.
What action will be taken
against the youths rests with the
merchants whose stores were
burglarized, Moffitt stated.

year-od buried city, hidden by en-

The legend, known for years among
the natives has just been revived by
an old man who says that since last
October he has been visited each night
by the ghosts of three of the inhabi-
tnnts, who come to plead for release.
The legend runs that the people of
the city We're all bewitched by the
devil because they were too greedy
for gold and can never be awakened
until this local devil has been driven
away.
According to reports, the inhabi-
tants Of Muschaken have taken the
story seriously. and are now digging
for gold on the mountain Sides New
