MINERS TO GALL
 CONFERENCE JET
Declare Proposed Conference Off; Operators Refused
 to Participate

COLUMBUS. O., Feb. 27.- John l.. Lewis, international president of the United Mine Workers of America, to- day notified President Lee Hall of the Ohio mine workers, that the joint wage conference schedue ldfor March 2 at Cleveland, had been called off.
 The proposed conference, for which Invitations were issued to operators of the central competitive field by the union, was called off because op- orators refused to participate, Hall declared.
 It is unlikely that another attempt will be made by union officials to con- fer with operators regarding a new wage scale, Hall declared He said the unions had twice sought confer ences with the mine owners and ia each instance met rebuff.
 Unless the operators meet in con- ference to instigate mutual settle ment prior to April 1, or abandon their proposed slash in wages, a uni. versal strike of the mine workers fn Ohio is inevitable" said Hall.
 w. D. Mckinney, secretary of the Southern Ohio Coal Exchange. one of the operators associations which re fused to send representatives to the Cleveland conference. tonight ex. pressed hope that cessation of work might be :averted by individual con ferences between miners and opera. tors of the Ohio fields. No negotia. tions for such conference have been made, however, he said.

MARY RECEIVES MANY
 WEDDING GIT TS
London Mildly Excited Upon Eve of Marriage; Buck
 Private Is Invited

LONDON, Feb. 27.-(By The Asso- ciated Press. )-London is aglow to- night and mildly excited over the wedding tomorrow of Princess Mary. The brilliant assemblage which is to witness the service in Westminster Abbey, will be more in the nature of friends than is usually the case in great state functions, for the major ity of those invited are really friends, or at least acquaintances, of one or both of the principals, rather than guests merely bidden on account of court formality.
 The wedding guests will be sur prised at the altered appearance of that edifice, which poetical writers frequently term the gray old abbey The blazing scarlet of the carpet in the central aisle probably will be the dominant color tone, unless it de- velops that the peeresses and other richly-gowned women have inclined to other equally vivid shades in choos- ing their dresses.
 When the betrOthal of the princess was first announced, it was expected that many members of royal families from abroad would be invited to the ceremony, but only the son and daugh- ter of the king of Spain, and Grand Duke Michael and Prince Nicholas of Rumania, will be present, they being the only members of other royal houses chancing to be in England at this time.
 The list of royal wedding presents issued at Buckingham Palace tonight comprises 90S separate articles. Among the latest announced is a sum of more than 1900 pounds towards a present for Princess Mary, subscribed by the women of southern Ireland. All classes contributed, the contributions varying from a few pence to a few pounds. It is understood that Mary will choose a gift closely associated with southern Ireland
 An interesting incident is disclosed relating to one of the wedding guests. Credited with having rescued Viscount Lascelles under shell fire, Private Robert Benstead of Leeds, holds q special invitation ticket Benstead served in the first Crenadier guards with Lascelles. When the viscount was wounded by shell fragment, and fell across an old broken trench. Pri- vate Benstead rescued him, dressed his wounds and brought him to safety
