RENEWED EFFORT:
TO FIND MEANS
TO END STRIKE
Union Officers and Mine Owners
Confer in Effort to Settle All
Wage Disputes.

London, April 25 Renewed efforts
to find a basis for the settlement of
the dispute between the coal miners
and the mine owners were made this
morning when representatives of the
owners and the executive officers of
the miners federation met here in
joint conference with representatives
of the government. The owners sub
mitted a detailed statement of their
proposals and it is understood the
possibilities of temporary settle
ment were under discussion. The own
ers, it was stated, were prepared to
advocate a temporary agreement for
period of three months, kafter which
a permanent settlem,nt would become
operative, this embracing a standard
wage and standard profit.
The temporary agreement would be
IN the nature of compromise be-
tween the national wage basis desired
by the miners and the district basis
desired by the owner.

SURVEY SHOWS
MANY NEGROES
IDLE in NORTH

Washington. April 5.-The Calu-
met District of Illinois. of which Chi
cago is the center, leads the country
in the number of negro unemployed
with approximately $4,000 idle ne
groes. In the Pittsburg district of
Pennsylvania. the number is $500
while in Michigan it is $3.50. In an
nouncing these statistics Commission
er Phil H. Brown, of the department
of labor, after an emergency survey
of industries, declares almost one
fifth of the total unskilled negro labor
of the country Joined the army of I'M
employed during the last three months
of industrial depression. Only 2.63 per
cent of the skilled negro labor was
thus affected.
From these facts, Mr. Brown de-
clares, there is strong evidence of
the growing inclusion and retention
of negro workers and it should act as
an encouraging sign to negro labor
that gained a foothold in the skilled
group. Disposition to apply them
selves to early road construction and
repairing and to return to agricultural
pursuits has an effect to reduce in
some measure the number of negroes
employed. he said. The number of in
voluntary unemployed negroes in
Richmond, Va, has been reduced to
practically zero by resumption of
the building industry there, accord
ing to reports to the labor depart
ment.

Washington, April 25.--There has
keen an unexplained delay in the
transmission from Berlin of the Ger
man counter proposals on reparations
which were handed last night to
American commissioner at the Ger
man capital. State Departments: Of
fcers had expected to have the docu-

memorandum was understood to be a
lengthy one and il such was the case
ii probably was not put on the cables
until very late last nigh; as cohsid-
cradle time would have been required
fcr coding it. Probably an equally
long time will be necessary for its
DECIDING after it's arrival here.
In advance of the receipt of the |
document, administration officials de
clined to comment on it's reported |
contents, nor would they indicate |
whether it would lie made public i'm
mediately after its arrival. 1t was !
generally expected, however, that the
text would be withheld until Secre-
tary Hughes could confer with Pres

and British ambassadors.
Washington, April 25.-President
Harding and Secretary Hughes were
expected to give immediate consider
alton to Germany's counter proposals
regarding reparations which We're
dispatched from Berlin last night.
The communication, embodying them
was forwarded by Loring Dresel,
American commissioner at the Ger
man capital and was understood to
be quite lengthy 1t was believed,
however, it would be decoded in time
for early study at the executive de.
rartments.
Any action the American govern
ment may see fit to take in the mat
ter of transmitting the proposals to
the allied powers, it is understood.
will be determined only after confer
ences between Secretary Hughes and
the allied diplomatic representatives
here. This course has been decided
upon in order that the transmission
will lie I'm manner acceptable to
them, and at the same time will
guard against the assumption by the
United States of obligations which
might prove embarrassing.
Secretary Hughes has made clear
that the American government does
not propose to act as mediator in the
mater, but only to consider calling
proposals to the attention of the al
lies.
