Must be composed in summer time.

 A truce was declared yesterday be tween the Ulster special consta hles and the free state troops which have been in mcnaeing proximity along the fermanagh border between Ulster and south Ireland, il Is announced here today.

 Each commander agreed 10 punish infringers of the pact.
 The pact does not bind the sup porters of Ramon De Valera who are massing on the shores of Lough Levin near the town of Garrison where they have erected q large telescope and are keeping constant watch upon the specials. Last evening a dozen motor cars brought endorsements for the republicans.

ORGANIZERS WORKING.
Union Men Still Attempting to Cnion-
 ize Non-Union Miners.

Pittsburgh. April 12.-Efforts of union organizers in the coke regions of Pennsylvania were to be directed today against the stronghold of the II. c. Prick Coke Co., between Con- nellsville and Uniontown, with three experienced organizers from the mine workers headquarters at Indianapolis, to augment the forces in this district. If they succeed in crippling the non union plants in this section, they in dicated, they expect the remainder of the fields to join the walkout. If they fail there is danger that many of the men now out will return to work.
 Special efforts will be turned to the three Leisenring plants of the Prick Co. now operating full time. Thus far organizers work there have been unavailing.
 A miners house at Seward was partly destroyed by bomb yesterday morning. No one was hurt.

COOPERATION IS
 HOOVER'S PROMISE
Government Will Assist in ACtiVi-
 ties Of Trade Associations

Washington, April l2-Govornment majority of the trade associations ot the country was promised today by Secretary Hoover in an address before representatives of various industrial organizations meeting at the com merce department to discuss means for furnishing trade information 10 the department for publication. Canvass of more than 2.00o trade associations Mir. Hoover declared, had disclosed that only a small minority were formed on a basis contrary 10 law. The status of open price asso- = citations, he said, is yet undetermined although officers of the government do not think such organizations are in the public interest,
 Contact Possible.
 Contact between the commerce de- partment and the business of the country is only possible through the great trade associations, he declared. The foreign trade of the United States, he said, has decreased less in proportion to pre- war totals than that of any other great commercial na- tions, due mainly to efforts of Am erican business men.
 Mr. Hoover called attention to the fact that while both the farmers and the unions have obtained immunity from the laws governing restraint of trade no effort along that line has been made by commercial and indus trial interests He added that inquiry into this question as already suggest ed in congress would be valuable.
 Study of the trend of production and consumption does not mean re- straint of trade, he said.
