RUIN OWN FUTURE
British Miners May End Strike
Without Jobs.
Absolute Desertion of Mines
May End Their Usefulness.

London, April 5.-The British coal
mining industry on which the life of
the nation depends is threatened with
extinction by the miners strike, Evan
Williams leader of the colliery own
ers, warned today.
THE miners threaten to bring dis
aster on owners and workmen alike"
Williams said. I'VE are doing our ut
most to save the pits and to save the
workmen from the terrible conse-
quences of their action
Flooding of mines, destruction of
property and excessive wage demands
will crush the industry, he declared.
No man will risk his finances in a
business which can be disrupted SO
easily, he said, and the present owners
cannot afford to salvage their ruined
properties.
THE difference between us and
the miners is basic,' he said.
1.-The miners are demanding a ma
tiona1 pooling of all mining and fl
nance which will destroy effectually
and bring disaster to owners and
workmen alike.
1T also will bring disaster to every
industry dependent upon coal as well
as the nation which exports it.
"Eyen if the pooling plan were
adopted, it would be necessary to re-
duce wages. What the men really
are demanding is a subsidy to main
tain pay at the present high levels
They want other workmen taxed
more in order to retain their owr
scale
Williams, as president of the Goa
Mining association, will have a voice
in the official negotiations.

BEGIN PROBE OF ROAD FUND
Keen Interest Shown in Reno County
Investigation by Grand Jury.

Keen interest is manifested in the
state house today regarding the grand
jury proceedings which are starting in
Reno county. The grand jury was
summoned to probe charges of cor
rupuon in connection with road build
ing projects in the county.
Arrangements for the calling of a
grand jury were made when charges
against D. E. Gilmer. former county
engineer, were made public. A war
rant for Gilmer's arrest was issued
here several weeks ago. A former
Reno county official is now a fugitive
and a reward has been offered for his
arrest. He is charged with embezzle-
ment in connection with alleged illegal
transactions surrounding letting of
road building contracts.
This afternoon NJ. w. Watson. state
highway engineer. left for Hutchinson
with records of Reno county work. E.
w. Claussen, an assistant attorney
general, is attending the hearings and
will assist in conducting the investi-
cation. The probe will be general and
will go into all phases of the road
scandal which has created a sensa-
ton in Reno county. 1t is the second
grand jury summoned in Kansas ir
recent months. A grand jury called
in Montgomery county several weeks
ago piled up big expense account
but returned no true bills.

FOR u. S.
May Day Will Find Little Labor
Unrest Here.
Strikes and Lock Outs Way Be-
low Normal Now.

Washington, April 5.-With May
day but three weeks away, industrial
relations thruout the United States are
more peaceful than at any time since
the armistice. reports of the depart
ment of labor showed today.
Strikes and lockouts now are less
frequent than at any time in months
despite the efforts of radical agita-
tors to stir up outra ges in the big in
dustrial cities on the first day of May
Not more than 10000 workers now
are on strike in the entire United
States, according to the labor depart
ment records. These are involved in
five big strikes. of which one affects
1000 workers at Peabody. Mass.
1t is admitted by labor department
officials that their records do not
show all Industrial disorders in the
country. Building trades strikes are
not on the department records but
their records do indicate, officials
said. that industrial relations thruout
the entire country are better than at
any time in months

PAY THE PENALTY
Governor Allen Refuses tt
Parole Youthful Robbers.
Lewis Taylor and William
Perry To Go to Reformatory.

~
Lewis Taylor and William Perry of
Topeka must go to the state reforma-
tory at Hutchinson for robbery of the
Long Oil company station here. Gov
ernor Allen today declined to inter-
fere with the sentence of the Shawnee
county district Judge, and said he
would not consider applications for
paroles at this time.
1t was apparent that Governor Allen
was deeply affected by appeals for the
youths. But he has persistently re-
fused to consider parole matters while
cases were still in the hands of the
district court. He refused to estab-
lish a precedent in the Taylor-PerTy
case.
Friends Visit Office.
Friends and relatives of the two
boys visited the governor in an effort
to secure clemency. The boys also in
terviewed the governor. The story of
their boyish banter which led to the
hold-up was recounted.
Gases of this kind take all the fun
out of being governor" said Governor
today as he discussed his action. But
it is not my province to consider
parole applications before persons
reach prison. 1 cannot violate the
rule in this case. Besides, there is a
responsibility to other youths who
might be 100 deeply impressed Dy eN-
ecutive clemency at this time. If some
other boys should banter as to the
| chances of a prison term it would be
as serious as the banter of courage
which led to this crime
Many Ask Clemency.
Many letters, as well as numerous
personal interviews resulted in the
move to secure clemency for the boys
before they began their sentence at
the state reformatory. Efforts to
secure paroles for the youths will
doubtless be renewed shortly after
! they reach Hutchinson. They were
sentenced to terms of not more than
! five YearS

asked for by Erwin r. Bergdoll,
Pennsylvania draft evader. has been
denied by Federal Judge John c.
The decision denying the writ was
filed at Topeka this morning in the
office of the clerk of the federal dis
trict court.
Judge Pollocks decision held that
Bergdolls arguments asking for re-
lease were all wrong. Bergdo1rs pc
tition alleged that the court martial
which tried him was not properly
constituted. The argument was based
upon technicalities in the Ncalling OF
the court.
Judge Pollock held that the court
was properly called and constituted
justified the holding of Bergdoll in
the disciplinary barracks.
Bergdoll's second argument, that
he was never a soldier and therefore
could not have been a deserter, was
held invalid, Judge Pollock declar-
ing that the service of notice of in
duction into the army by mail, was
legal and valid, and that from the
receipt of that notice, Bergdoll was
in the military service of the country,
and subject to the award of the court
martial.
Bergdoll absented himself for more
than two years after having been in
Quoted into the service. and gave him
self up in August, 1920. He was
sentenced, by the court martial, as a
deserter, to four years in the disci-
! pIinary barracks.

DENIES THE KNOX APPROVAL

Washington, April 5.-The doom of
the treaty of Versailles so far as the
United States is concerned, was pro-
nounced definitely by President Hard
ing today.
In unmistakabIe words. the presi-
dent. speaking to newspaper men,
made it clear that he was convinced
that there is no practical way in which
the United States can consider ratify-
ing the treaty.
Harding denied, however, that he
has approved immediate action on the
Knox peace resolution.
No Need for Hurry.
There is no need, according to
Harding, for precipitate action in re-
gard to the Knox resolution. He indi-
Gated, however that he saw no par
ticular reason for a marked reversal
of the position he took when he voted
for the Knox resolution in the senate
and when he endorsed it in his speech
of acceptance during the campaign.
At the outset of his interview with
the newspaper men today, Harding
denounced reports that he approved
the plan espoused by the senate ir-
reconcilables calling for immediate
adoption of the Knox measure. These
reports, he made clear, are entirely
unauthentic.
Program Not Final.
The president insisted that he is
committed TO no definite program and
declined to discuss any possible plar
at present. He indicated, however
that the whole subject of international
relations would be dealt with in his
message to congress next week.
It was indicated that whatever steps
are taken would come along piece
