Mine WORKERS
DELAY STRIKE
Refuse to Accept Proposals for
National Settlement of
Wages.
(ey The Associated Press,

LONDON, April 12.-The conference
of the mine owners. the mine workers
and government officials today failed
to reach a settlement in the miners
strike, the miners refusing to accept
the prime minister's proposals for a
national settlement of wages without
a national pool of profits, which Mr.
Lloyd George said was impractic BILE.
The transport workers and railroad
men, however, suspended their strike
notices, which would have expired at
midnight tonight.
The only government proposal which
the miners would consider was one in
which the government offered, after
the wage question had been settled
to give temporary assistance to miti-
gate the rapid reduction of wages; the
others they brushed aside, at times
with heated arguments.
The premier met the owners and
miners in separate conferences, then
jointly. But none of the arguments of
the premier or the owners could move
the miners; they stuck firmly to their
demand for a national pool Of profits
national settlement of wages. declaring
through their spokesman, Frank
Hodges, that the workmen for the
first time are going to have a share
of the total prosperity in trade"
The premier after a two hours ses-
sion with the miners and again in the
Joint session said he knew nothing
that would Justify the government in
changing the convictions expressed in
its proposals. He insisted that na-
tional pool Of profits would lead to
government control 70 which parlia-
ment would not agree. He also en-
tered a strong protest against any sub
sidizing of wages or profits of indus
try out of the general taxes Of the
country on the same grounds.
The miners went direct from the
conference to a meeting of the triple
alliance. where their decision was
made known. 1t was immedia tely de-
cided to POSTPONE the sympathetic
strike of the railway men and trans
port workers.

MAKES A PLEA
FOR FAIR deal
Secretary Davis Suggests the
Golden Rule Be Applied in
Settlement of Disputes
(ey The Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, April IA plea for a
fair deal for capital. a decent living
wage for labor; larger profits for the
farmers through lower railroad ship
ping rates and settlement of all in
dustrial disputes through conferences
between employer and employe with
the golden rule as the basis of settle
ment, was made today by James w.
Davis, secretary of labor in an address
before the Loyal Order of Moose.
Mr.. Davis warned labor that if it IS
TO take share in the policies of the
nation, ii also must take a share in
the nations responsibilities and de-
clared that labor must see that trans
portation conditions were such that
the farmer could make a fair profit.
He upheld the right of capital as
we'll as labor, to present its side of
all controversies and then warned
capital that a decent living wage for
labor was necessary to assure loyal
among the workers.
From time to time the large en-
ployers of labor, and some of them
justly so, have been made the football
of muck -rakers," said Secretary Davis.
They have been painted in every color
save that of the lily and when they
have striven to give their side of the
case they have been charged with the
dread crime Of propagandism as
though the employers as well as the
employees hadn't right to present
their differences without being show
cred with charges"

WASHINGTON, April 12.-President
Harding's principal recommendations tC
congress in his first annual address de-
livered today includes the following:
Foreign Relations No separate
peace with Germany on the assumption
alone that these would be adequate
"The wiser course would seem to be
to engage under the existing
treaty, assuming, of course, that this
can be satisfactorily accomplished by
such explicit reservations and modifi-
cations as will secure our absolute
freedom of inadvisable commitments
and safeguard all our essential inter
ests. No helpful society of ma
tions can be founded on justice and
committed to peace until the covenants
reestablishing peace are sealed by the
nations which were at war
Observation-Disclosures of internal
taxes and revision or repeal "of those
taxes which have become unproductive
and are so artificial and burdensome as
to defeat their own purpose"
Tariff - Instant tariff enactment

ODGIdllOn DIT d
cost within that which the traffic can
bear. Railway rates and costs
of operation must be reduced"
"The remaining obstacles which are
the heritance of capitalistic exploita-
tion must be removed and labor must
join management in understanding
that the public which pays is the pub
lie to be served and simple justice is
the right and will continue to be the
right of all the people"
Good Roads-The strengthening of
laws governing federal aid.
Merchant Msrine-The United States

WASHINGTON, April 12-The
French government, in replying to
Secretary Hughes notes to the four
great powers regarding mandates, is
understood to have expressed sub
stantial agreement with the American
governments contention that the
United States has surrendered none
of its rights in the former German
overseas possessions through its fail
ure to become a party to the treaty
of Versailles.
The French reply was received yes
terday but whether it will be made
public has not yet been disclosed. 1t
was described today in official circ res
as a formal response from the French
foreign office.
The reply from Great Britain also
received yesterday was no more than
an acknowledgment of the receipt of
the American communication it was
learned today.
This serves to strengthen the Opin
ion in some official and diplomatic
circles that Great Britain would ex
change views with Japan before max
ing a final response.
France, in it's reply to Mr.. Hughes.
is understood to have reiterated it's
expression OF hope that the zap man
date question be settled by negotia-
tions between the United States and
Japan without involving that country
as a principal to the controversy.
