AT sunset one may see the regular
formations Of famingoes, like a rosy
cloud, heading for the mainland Of
Venezuela. Along the shore the pelI-
cans are numerous-clumsy and of
dull plumage. that sail all day up and
down the margin Of the shore watch

mendous velocity, and opening wide
their great bills sweep the fish into

NINE WORKERS INSIST UPON
MAINTENANCE OF EXISTING
WAGE SCALES.
WILLING TO NEGOTIATE
OPERATORS REFUSE TO ENTER
CONFERENCE WITH UNION
FUEL FOR TEN WEEKS,
(Westsrs Nssspssr unisn Nsvs ssvss.)

Washington.-Little hope of avert.
ing q strike in the unlonized bitumi.
nous coal fields on April l has been
announced In those official circles
which are most concerned with the re-
:peated governmental attempts to
bring ab6If. dfI adjustment OF wage
|.sgreement differences;
Nine operators, IT was declared,
were: c0ntinuing In their refusal TO en-
ter d conference With the UnitedsA Mine
Workers looking to the creation Of a
new wage contract for the central
competitive field, Notwithstanding rep
resentatiOns made to them by Secre-
tary Of Labor Davis, who holds that
existing contracts require them at
least to enter negotiations regardless
Of whether such negotiations are car
ried to completion.
The United Mine Workers of Amer
ica, the general union organization,
was declared to be entirely willing to
enter n conference, although insisting
upon the maintenance OF existing wage
scales, which were adopted In 1920.
The employers are demanding reduc-
tions amounting to 20 per cent or more.
1t was indicated In official circles
that the government would 60 no fur
tier ut present, but await the develop
ment of the threatened strike. The
degree of possible government inter-
ventiOn later, 1t was said by high
official, would be determined by the

veloped, might affect adversely the
public welfare. Statistics assembled
for the Labor Department Indicate
that 65,OOO,OOO tons of coal are now
in storage, approximately ten weeks
supply for the entire country, that this
amount Is rapidly being augmented,
und that nonuniOn production is tend
ing to increase.
Local agreements between the
union and operators are also expected
to go into effect on or before April 1,
which would insure maintenance Of
further operations.
Secretary Davis was said to be
maintaining policy Of hands off with
reference to the anthracite situation,
on the ground that operators and min
ers were now comforting and that pros
poets were ut least hopeful that wage
contracts would be made. Officials
declared there was no reason to be-
lieve that a coal strike would spread
to other Industries and took occasion
to point out that In 1908, when a gen.
eral strike developed in the anthra-
cite regions, former President ROose-
yelt did not interfere until it had been
In progress for six months.
John L. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers, was expected
to arrive in Washington soon, but
union representatives here said he
would then go Immediately to New
York to participate in the anthracite
negotiations.

Irish 10" Not an Abbreviation.

ment of Francis Sullivan tighe (sic).

says, Is not contraction Of of. as

of the Irish 'ua' meaning the de-

The word "tighe," following the au-

of the O Sullivan clan. In private life
the author is just plain Sullivan. but
he thinks that to print 1t so on the
