STRIKE HOLDS
OVER ENGLAND
Hitch in Negotiations
When Miners Refuse
to Start Pumps.

London, April 6.-(By the Associat-
ed Press)-A day of great excitement
which looked as though it were lead
ing to amicable negotiations to find an
issue to the wage dispute in the coal
crisis, closed with still another hitch
owing to insistence on the part of the
government that resumption of pumping
operations at the mines must be pre-
liminary to any negotiations
The first meeting with the govern
ment with the miners and mine owners
has been set for IL o'clock Thursday
by the railway men and transport
workers, who. together with the miners,
form the triple alliance, has been tenn
porarily suspended. Then the prime
minister made the announcement in the
house of commons that the miners
federation had informed him that it was
unable to see its way clear to instruct
the pump men to resume work during
the negotiations, Mr.. Lloyd George,
added, that the negotiations could not
proceed unless this obstacle was over
come.
Whether the hitch is as serious MS it
appeared from the premier's statement
is not quite certain. Frank Hodges,
one Of the leaders of the. miners, re-
ferring to the matter tonight, said he
did not regard the question of negotia-
tions as hopless Another favorable
indication is that the premier has writ
ten to the miners executive committee
asking them to meet him early tomor-
row morning at his Downing Street
residence.

AGENTS AND TELEGRAPHERS
REJECT PENNSY' Offer

Pittsburgh, April 6-Representa-
tives of the Order Of Railroad Station
Agents and the Order of Railroad Tele
graphers, Dispatchers, Agents and Sig
nalmen, late Wednesday announced
that they had rejected proposals of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. for a
wage reduction of approximately IS
per cent. Delegates for the Order of
Telegraphers took the company's pro-
position under consideration and will
submit an answer later, while Adam
Reid, of Philadelphia, who said he rep
resented 1SO telegraphers and tcle
phoners in the eastern region, and dele
gates for general office telegraphers,
announced that "we place our case en-
tirely in your hands and trust to the
good judgment of the management"
Plans of the company for wage re-
ductions were submitted by the man
ayers committee on the road to the
representatives of the telegraph de-
partment employees at Wednesdays
conference. The cut would average
21 1-2 cents an hour and would affect
$500 workers. In presenting the plan
to the delegates for the employees, the
managers declared the wage reduc-
tons were necessitated by changed
economic conditions, decline in living
costs and wage decreases in other in
dustries.

man for $50, Con-
fesses in Buffalo.

Buffalo, N. Y, April 6.-Roy Harris
arrested here Wednesday evening on
q charge of forgery, signed a state
ment to the effect that he and another
man killed Joseph b. Elwell, in New
York last June.
Harris says that he and friend
William Dunkin, were accosted on the
street by chauffeur they knew who
told them that ne had woman pas
senger who might pay them well for
job. They got in and drove about
with the woman who said her name

$50 each on account and the next
morning met them and drove them to
Elwel's home ON West Seventeen

key.
Harris alleges Dunkin shot Elwell.
The woman, he said, gave them $3.50

the tragedy excited such widespread
interest.
The man had been staying at hotel
here with his wife since Tuesday. An

he was arrested. As he was being
brought into the stationhouse he said:
'"That check thing was all settled.

Then, without much prompting. he
dictated statement and signed it.
The local police notified the New

Three Needs Are Crux /;
Physical, Industrial,

Washington, April 6.-Con-
solidation under one head of all
government bureaus dealing
with ex-soldier relief to func-
tion directly for the president
will be the chief recommends
tion made to President Harding
by the special commission
which concluded it's inquiry in
to government relief work here
Wednesday.
Charles G. Dawes, of Chicago, chair
man of the commission, announced
Wednesday night that actual drafting
of the report to be submitted to the
president would begin Thursday in
executive session.
Many Names Suggested.
The new bureau. will be known prob
ably as "The Veterans Rehabilitation
Administration" although half dozen
names have been suggested. Its head
will be selected by President Harding
from among the most able men pos
sessing knowledge of all ex-service
mems problems. --4-~ sa-ss1 vs.
An analysis of the testimony taken
during the two day inquiry was before
the members Wednesday night for
study so that when they meet Thurs
day they will be prepared to put their
ideas in the form of report to the
president.
Commission members were agreed
that the crux of the problem centered
in the phrase veteran rehabilitation"
While it was single problem they
said. it naturally was divided into three
ex-soldiers by the government. They
were, first, those Of physical nature;
second, those of finance, and third.
those dealing with industrial phases.
Three Distinct Bureaus.
Heretofore these problems have been
delegated to three separate and distinct
organizations, the public health service
for medical treatment, the bureau of
war risk insurance for financial sup
port, and the board for vocational edu-
cation for industrial rehabilitation.
These organizations will be grouped
according to the commissions decision,
under central authority eliminating
duplication and conflict between the
existing agencies which, it was said,
had resulted in men being transferred
from one jurisdiction to another and
left often during the transfer without
physical, financial or industrial bene-
fits.
The commissions findings, it was
said, will show serious conditions with
reference to shortage of hospital facili
ties, especially as affecting tubercular
and mental cases. This condition will
be cited to illustrate the need for new
hospitals, for which an appropriation
will probably be asked of congress.
Plan New Legislation.
New legislation will also be asked
by the commission in its report to ac-
complish consolidation of the existing
bureaus and decentralization of the
field service so that those in need may
apply to relief stations established in
the home districts rather than to Wash
ington or other more distant bureaus.
Commander Galbraith pledged the
American Legion's support to the CEN
tral bureau, as did the chiefs of all the
government bureaus affected and Off
GERS of the Red Cross. These have
been invited by Mr.. Dawes to sign the
commissions report.

Found in Other Holes.
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Lewistown, April Ga report just
reaching here from Cat Greek states
that with the drill still over the sand,
the Big Six had Wednesday afternoon
over 100 feet of oil standing in the
casing. This proves the third produc-
ing sand in the Cat Creek field.
The oil is heavier than that so far
found in the upper sands and while
of fine quality shows very marked
difference. It is considered most
likely that this oil is the normal pool
from which the higher grade ascended,
being refined in it's journey through
the rocks to the second sand.
Lower Pool Extensive.
Another fact developed in this con-
nectdon is that in the upper sand the
Blk Six failed to find any oil. whatever,
getting big flow of water there. This
would indicate pretty clearly that the
lower pool is much more extensive in
area than the upper one.
Many things remain to be deter
mined, such as the thickness of the
third sand, but there would seem to
be no doubt that when the drill of the
Big Six goes through it, it will Sc
cure splendid commercial well. The
amount of oil now coming in under
these circumstances, with the sand not
really penetrated, would Indicate heavy
production with completion.
Proves New District.
The Big Six is in section 6-15-29
1t is located The farthest west of any
well in the west dome and was con-
sidered experimental to large ex-
tent, so far as the second sand was
concerned. It has demonstrated two
things: That the oil is not in the upper
sand that far west and that the field
is underlaid with this productive third
sand. The well is owned by Miles City
men, but is being completed by the Elk
Basin Co., under the personal direc-
ton Of Field Manager l.. S. Lantz.

Lenine Suspending
Naturalization of
Russian Industries

Stockholm, April 6.-Reports reach
ing Stockholm by way of Helsingfors,
say that the Russian soviet government
is finding it necessary to make fur
ther concessions in the re-establish-
ment Of commercial relations. A de-
cree is being prepared in Moscow. it
is asserted, suspending the national
ization of industries in order to facil-
itate the exploitation of Russia's nat
ural resources by foreign capitalists.
The ban will be lifted first from fac
tories, formerly belonging to British
subjects.
Nikolai Lenine, the Russian bolshe-
visit premier, is reported to have drop
ped the idea Of attracting foreign cap
ital by offering concessions, on the
ground that the method is too slow in
Its operation, substituting the plan of
suspending the naturalization OF in
dustries as a means OF returning to
capitalism.

The understanding is that President
Harding is hopeful of evolving dis
tinct administration" plan to termin-
ate the state of war. The president,
it is said, iavo-s the broad plan for
peace by congressional resolution but
desires to promulgate program of ad-
ministration origin rather than that of
adopting the Knox resolution as
drafted.
The presidents views in this report
are said to have been communicated to
Senator Knox and other Republican
leaders and had met with full accord.
The state department conference We'd
nesday was regarded as move to-
wards working out a plan which would
enlist general Republican support 1t
was said that Senator Knox does, not
insist upon acceptance of his resolu-
ton in its present form and is agree
able to giving support and assistance
ON the formulation of any plan which
viii terminate the war status with
reasonable promptness.

London, April 6.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. AN official British pro-
test is understood to be prospect as
a result of alleged Turkish cruelties
and atrocities on Greek and Armenian
Christians in Asia Minor. A Turkish
terror lasting three days is reported

many Greek and Armenia Christians
were killed. The Greek metropolitan
of Sokia, so miles southeast of Smyr-
ma, was arrested by Turks and his

The Greek charges are said to have
been substantiated and the British

interest as it existed prior to any ac-
ton of the supreme council or the Lea-
que of Nations and cannot recognize
the ALLEGATION of the island or the val
idity of the mandate to Japan"
Text Of Notes
The text Of the note to Great Bril-
tain. which is similar to that to
France and Italy, follows:
with respect to the mandate "a
japan, purporting to have been con-
firmed and defined In its terms BY the
supreme council Of the League OF
Nations, Of the German possessions IN
the Pacific ocean, lying north Of the
equator, this government deems IL
appropriate to state the fundamental
basis Of its representations and the
principles which, in its view, ars de-
terminative.
ut win not be questioned that tho
right to dispose OF the overseas pos
sessions Of Germany was acquired only
through the victory Of the allied and
associated powers, and it IL also be-
lieved that there il no disposition on
the part Of the British government td
deny the participation Of the United
States in that victory. It would seem
to follow necessarily that the tight
accruing to the allied and associated
powers through the common vectoFy4
Is shared by the United States and
that there could be NO valid or effective
disposition Of the overseas possessions
of Germany, now under consideration,
without tho assent Of the United
States.
No Vested Authority.
This government must, therefore,
point out that as the United States
has never vested either the supreme
council or the League Of Nations with
any authority to bind the United States
or to act on its behalf, there has been
no opportunity for any decision which
could be deemed to effect the rights
OF the government. It may also be
observed that the right accruins to the
United States through tho victory IN
which it has participated could not b.
regarded as in any way ceded or sur
rendered to Japan, or any other nation
except BY treaty. and that no such
treaty has been made.
'The fact that the United States
has not ratified the treaty Of We're
CuAiA0S S0uuOk uGkI8Ct from TlXNI4
which the United States had already
acquired, and it is hardly necessary Ia
suggest that treaty to which the
United States % not Z party could
not affect these rights. 9
An Eqsal Risht. Il
"But It should be noted thar th&
treaty Of Versailles did not purporS
to secure to Japan or to any oiheJ
nations any right In the overseas pos>
sessions Of Germany, save a. m equal
right therein should be secured to the
United States. On the contrary,
article 119 Of the treaty Of Versailles
provided:
Germany renounces In favor Of the
principal allied and associated powers
all her rights and titles over her over.
seas possessions
ut will not be questioned that ons
OF the principal allied and associated
powers in whose favor Germany re-
nounces her rights and titles il the
United States. Thus, not only could
the position OF the government Of
Japan derive no strength from the
treaty of Versailles or from any dis.
cussions preliminary thereto. but the
terms Of that treaty confirm the posi-.
ton Of the government Of the United
States.
