REST FOR FIVE DAYS
[RepubIIcan A. ?. Leased wireI


NEW YORK, April 13.-The an
thracite miners and operators sub
committee on wage contract negotia-
tions, which has been in session here
since March Is, took n five-day re-
cess tonight without having begun
formulation Of an agreement which
would settle the present strike. Mem
bers of the subcommittee announced
they would renew their labors here
next Tuesday.
Two new demands of the 10 sub
mitted by the miners prior to the
strike were touched upon by the
operators today in rebuttal of argu
ments already presented by the
strikers.
The demand, which calls for settle
ment of future grievances upon a
basis of equity, without using condi-
tions of 1902 as precedent, was dis
cussed without any agreement being
reached as to its Incorporation in the
new contract A sharp controversy
was aroused when demand No. IL
was introduced, providing for pay
ment of contract workers on the legal
basis of 1000 pounds to the ton, in
stead Of by the 2240, or long ton,
on carload lots. This demand was
opposed Dy lll6 Operators OA AAAS
ground that It would add nearly 10
per cent to the wages Of the miners,
in addition to the 20 per cent in
crease sought in their demands. The
question was still before the sub
committee when it adjourned.
Bituminous coal operators, who
have offices here, today reported the
receipt of kilograms from the Con-
nellsville and Fayette regions of
Pennsylvania, where the unions have
been concentrating their organiza-
ton efforts since the strike was de-
clared April 1, that the strike was
spreading like wild fire"
Phillip Murray. vice president of

HOOVER DENIES.
SUPPORT GIVEN
To OPEN PRICE
ASSOCIATIONS
IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON. April 13.-Secre-
tary Hoover has requested Samuel
Untermeyer of New York, in a letter
made public today, to correct the
misimpression" created by his claim
ing that the commerce secretary was
insisting upon the legality of sQ-
called open price associations Mr..
Hooyer's letter was in reply to one
written by Mr.. Untermeyer regarding
the conference of representatives of
national and interstate trade associa-
tions which met here yesterday at the
commerce department.
Mr.. Untermeyer's statement" Mr..
Hoover said IN making public his re-
ply, apparently arises from his over
sight of the word not in various
statements of this department on its
economic views and relations to trade
associations.
Far from extolling so-called open
price associations the department
has consistently stated that it can not
and does not approve of them on eco
nomic grounds. Whether legal or IL
legal they constitute less than 10 per
cent of the trade associations of the
country. 1t is the function of this
department to deal with the 80 per
cent of conservative elements in
American commerce and industry,
while it is Mr.. Untermeyers business
to deal with the minority of destruc-
tive elements"
In his letter Mr.. Hoover declared
there were a great number of legiti-
mate trade associations performing
invaluable services to the business
which should be assisted in every way
to enlarge their usefulness.

8 PERSONS ARE
HURT WHEN ONE
AND HALF TONS
TINT EXPLODES

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April IL.
Great excitement prevailed in
Helper, Utah, tonight as an after
math of the explosion of the one and
one-half tons of INT near there to-
day which resulted in the injury of
nine persons and damage to build
ings in the town.
The explosion occurred across the
Price river from Helper, where state
road construction was under way
and authorities expressed the opinion
that failure to have the INT prop
erly weighted down prior to setting
off was the cause of the blast. Two
men employed on the road job were
placed under arrest this afternoon.
They were charged with criminal
negligence in the handling of explo-
sives and released under $1,000 bond
each.
Tons of rock literally rained upon
the town and the majority of the
buildings along the main street were
damaged by falling missiles. Louzan
Lowry, II, clerk in a music store,
and Paul Pessett, a barber, were the
most seriously injured.
Young Lowry was badly crushed
when a huge boulder caved in the
front of the music store where he

physicians said it may be necessary
to amputate them.
Paul Pessett was struck on the
head by a rock which came through
the roof of his barber shop. His
skull is believed to have been frac-
tured.
A hail of stones smashed into the
telephone exchange, one huge bould-
er flying between two operators at
work. breaking the arm of the chair
in which one of the girls sat and car

LONDON PRESS SAYS
BRITAIN WILL PAY
HER AMERICAN DEBT
[RepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIre1


LONDON, April 13.-There has
never been the slightest doubt that
Great Britain would repay her Amer
lean debt ito the uttermost farth-
ing" declares the Spectator today.
The sooner the matter is placed on a
clear and business-l like footing, the
better, it declares, adding that al
ready there has been a great deal too
much discussion on the subject.
The Spectator emphasizes that the
United States should be treated as
having been an obliging friend and
that payment should be settled pri-
marily to suit Americas convenience.
Any British government" 1t says.
(which proposed to try to wriggle out
Of our obligation or to ask the Ameri-
can government to let US off, or in
flict any other humiliation of this
kind upon US. would be driven from
office with ignominy."
The periodical adds that this does
not mean Great Britain Is too proud
to accept help from America, but
rather that, should 1t ever be neces-
sary, Great Britain could and would
accept 1t. The determination to pay
debts, it says, is due to self respect,
not to "a surly feeling that we don't
want to let anybody do US a kind
ness"
The Spectator suggests that the
debtor and creditor treasurers i'm
mediately discuss the best way OF
carrying out the transaction, the
rate OF interest and the general con-
dition that would be most convent
ent to the United States. 1t expresses
the opinion that payment in gold
would be undesirable to America and
suggests terminable rather than per-
petual annuities or a plan carrying
an open sinking fund.

most noted buildings ever in the world
the Labyrinth. There was one, on
the island of Lemnos, in the Aege,n

But that Of Egypt was by far the most
ancient.
Myth, tradition, legend, mystery and

classical literature. 1t was composed
Of 5000 chambers, 800 below the
earth's surface and 1,5O0 above. The
grand hierophants permitted Herod0-
tus to enter some Of the chambers
above, but not below. The Greek writer
could scarcely find words with which
to describe the beauty and splendor of
the famous edifice. He says:
'"The upper chambers l myself Wis
tied, and pronounce them among the
grandest efforts of human industry and
art. The almost infinite number of
winding passages through the different
courts excited my highest admiration
from spacious halls l passed through
smaller chambers, and from them again
