New York, Dec with the ar
rest Saturday of John Popoyich of
Los Angeles, carrying f93.500 in
counterfeit notes, or more than
S450,O00 in American value, United
States secret service agents said they
had captured the third of a gang of
counterfeiters who have done what
was heretofore considered almost i'm
possible-making and passing bogus
Bank of England notes.
The other two alleged members of
the band reported to be under arrest
in Los Angeles are Oscar A. Simon
and Ivan Glavadonoyich.
Popovieh was checking out at a
Broadway hotel Saturday when secret
service agents who had been regis
tered at the same hotel since Thurs
day arrested him after he had paid his
bill in United States currency. They
said he was about TO leave for
Canada.
The secret service agents said that
about $4,000 had been obtained by
the gang in California through pass
ing the notes. They ascribe the sue
cess of the counterfeiters in part TO
the fact that since the war many in

Con- sumption figures for January, an nounced by the census bureau at 526,- 552 bales, probably also accounted for part of the markets strength.
 New York March contracts closed 53 points higher at 17.S2 cents and May 51 points up at 17.51 cents. New Orleans March and May each reg istered a net gain of 49 points, clos ing at 1870 and 1860 cents, respec- lively.

OPERATORS REJECT
 UNION BARGAINING
tBy the Associated Press !

Indianapolis, Feb. 14-The opening of the special convention of the Unit ed Mine Workers of America. called primarily to determine the unions policy affecting all soft coal indus tries in the United States, was mark ed today by an absence of official an- nouncement of the wage demand pro- posed by the scale committee as the basis of the new working agreement to be effective April 1.
 As proposed by the scale commit tee, the union would demand 20 per cent wage increases in the industry The present working agreement will expire on March 31.
 While the miners course will be made definite by the convention, their general policy is already known as likewise that of many operators, in various parts of the country, who not only ask wage reductions, but also refuse to continue the collective bargaining movement with the union. This refusal, provoking an unprece- dent situation since the beginning of collective bargaining in the coal in- dustry, virtually sets the threatened strike date for April l, for union of ficials point out that the absence of fixed date for a conference with operators terminates the provisions of present agreements requiring con- tinued work pending negotiations over the wage scale.
 For the last week, the presidents of the 2 districts of the union have been in conference nere formulating a report on the scale demands affect ing the entire soft coal industry, and previously a convention of the Penn- sylvania anthracite miners declared for 20 per cent wage advance. The basic soft coal scale, outlined by the district presidents report, will be fixed by the convention, which also will ratify or modify the anthracite demands.

ROAD TO CAPITAL
 IN FINE CONDITION

With the Conway -Palarm hard surfaced highway nearing completion and the Palarm-Little Rock road in the best condition it has ever been, Con way motorists have been making trips to the capital city in about the same time as is accomplished by the pas senger trains. During the past few days several have negotiated the jour ney of 32 miles in an hour and q quarter-and they claim they have done it without running at an exces- sive speed.
 By the end of the present week all of the base course of stane between Conway and Palarm will have been laid and ready for traffic, except such portions of it as are covered with the top course and are awaiting the application of asphalt. As this ma terial can be put down only when the temperature is 50 degrees or above, it necessitates some more or less troublesome detours. But these are kept passable and are not lengthy, so that they delay trip very little. From Palarm to the Camp Pike high way at Levy the earth road has been kept dragged during the winter and the old macadam pike extending four miles from Levy was scarified and regarded last summer, putting the Pu- laski county end of the road in first class condition.
