STRIKE SETTLEMENT
IS NOT IN SIGHT AS
End MONTH BEGINS
(By Associated Press. }

INDIANAPOLIS, May 1.-The sec
o1d month of the nationwide suspen-
-on of work in the coal industry be
gan today, with officials at headQuar-
ters here of the United Mine Workers
Of America declaring that no settle
ment was in sight for the wage con
troversy involving more than 100000
miners.
No change was made by union Off
Gals in their previous claim that at
least $4,000 workers had joined in the
suspension, the number including
$4,000 non-union miners in the bitum-
inous coal fields, as also 450, 900 union
bituminous miners and $4,000 anthra
cite workers. Peak strength officials
here said, had not yet been attained,
and the unions program called for
further effort to close the non-union
fields, particularly those of central
Pennsylvania
Except for the drive of union organ
izers into Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia, the first month of the suspen-
sion was marked by extreme quiet, the
workers of the completely organized
fields seeming to regard their idle
ness as vacation. The drive on the
Pennsylvania non-union fields was
viewed by union officials as import
ant in that they regarded the output
of these districts as a vital factor in
determining the outcome of the sus-
pension in the central competive
field employing more than one third
of all union miners.
Endurance Struggle
AS for the central competitive field,
which comprises western Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and
other outlying soft coal fields, the sus-
pension apparently settled down to an
endurance struggle with officials here
protesting confidence that the operat-
ors would finally be forced into a
wage conference.
While the anthracite operators had
negotiations for a settlement under
way, their conference with the union
leaders over new wage scale was at
standstill, but officials here expected
an earlier settlement in these fields
than in the bituminous fields, scat
tered throughout the country.

TRY TO KILL
GENERAL IN
CHINA WAR
Attempt to Assassinate Gen
eral WI Pei-Fu Reported in
Dispatch Said to Have
Been Wounded.
BATTLE IS STILL RAGING
tBy Associated Press)

LONDON, May LIN attempt to as
sassinate General WI Pei-Fu, leader
of the Central Chinese forces, was
made last Saturday, says a Peking dis
patch to the Evenings News today,
which said the report had not been
confirmed. The general was said to
have been slightly wounded, and his
assailant was captured and executed,
the dispatch said,
PEKING, May 1.-The battle for the
possession of Peking was still continu-
ing today with the advantage appar-
emily going to the forces of General
Wu Pe-Fu, driving toward the capital
from the south.
Advices from the central of the
fighting. IL miles southwest OF the
city, were that general WI was fore
ing the soldiers of General Chang Tsc-
Lin from Changsintien, and that the
tide of battle was rolling eastward to-
ward the southern walls of Peking.
Heavy gunfire broke out to the east
of Changsintien at nine o'clock last
night continuing intermittently all
night.
Firing Intense
Artillery firing in the sector south
oI GehlHB became more Intense JO-
ward midnight, and a small part of
General Chang Tso Lin's army re-
treated toward the southwest walls
OF Peking General WI Pei-Fu's forces
appeared to be developing their flank
ing movement on Chang's right wing,
while the latter's troops were defend
ing the Marco Polo bridge across the
Hun river commanding the approach
to Peking.
Observers reported that Chang had
seven batteries of three guns each
firing simultaneously, with trenches
over the hills along the river six
hundred yards apart. General WI has
gone from Paotingfu, his headquar
ters, to Liuliho to take charge of the
drive on Peking. His forces are using
shrapnel and machine guns.
(Liunliho is on the Peking- Hankow
railway, about 35 miles south of Pc.
king, and twenty miles south OF
Changsintien, on which General Chang
Tsp-Lin's right wing rests).

VOTE EARLY TUESDAY
IS ADVICE BECAUSE
OF BALLOT LENGTH

Vote early Tuesday If you would
be certain of casting your ballot.
Many persons in every precinct in
Richmond and in many of the outside
precincts will be shut out of voting if
they wait until the final hours of the
day.
The ballot is long and owing to the
fact that the state election commits
sioners ruled against the use of extra
clerks, there will be only the regula-
ton number of officials at each voting
precinct to assist in the work. In a
regular election voters may be han
died much more quickly than in pri-
mary, it was pointed out, for in the
election majority of all votes cast are
strict party ballots which required the
voter to make but single cross at the
top. In the primary election, like that
OF Tuesday, there of course is no such
thing as a straight" party vote and
each voter must mark a cross (X)
AFTER the name of each and every
candidate he desires to vote for. This
process is necessarily much slower
than voting in a regular election and
consequently the number of voters that
may be handled in an hour will be
much less. The advice to go to the
polls early tomorrow should be taken
seriously by every man or woman who
desires to participate in the affairs of
their party.
Many voters have been confused by
the reports that to cast a ballot in
the Tuesday election it requires resi-
dence in the precinct thirty days
There is no such requirement in the
primary. II a voter has just moved
into the precinct he is entitled to vote
by showing that he is bona fide resi-
dent of such precinct. even though his
name is not found on the registration
, books.

For the first time in the life
of the Harding administration,
the President and his advisers
face bitter fight in both Sen.
ate and House as Congress as.
sembles today in extra session
to consider the ship subsidy
bill.
On the issue Of the subsidy alone.
the President Is virtually fighting
with his back to the wall against a
recalcitrant minority in the House
and against the group of independ-
ents led by La Toilette, Borah, Cap.

In the House. attempts to i'm.
peach Attorney General Daugherty
will be revived by Congressman
Keller and Woodruff, both OF
whom were triumphantly reelected
over the efforts of Administration
leaders to defeat them. The re.
newal Of the fight on Daugherty
will be another source of annoy
ance to the President and his i'm.
mediate supporters.
INDEPENDENTS ACTIVE.
The growth of the independent
movement as a result of the re.
cent election is certain to provide
considerable embarrassment to the
success of any legislation favored
by the Administration leaders.
While none of the independents re.
