ILLINOIS MINE
STRIKE CERTAIN
Harrington Says There's No
Hope of Avoiding 1t.
REFUSES TO ENTER PACT
Union Chief Tells Operators That
State Agreement Is impossible
Refers to an Emergency He
Doesn't Explain.

Chicago, March 30.-Illinois miners
will join the nationwide coal strike
sci for April l and no hope of post
ponement or of initiation of separate
state wage agreement could be found,
Frank Harrington, president of the
Illinois miners, told heads of the state
operators association in conference
here.
Only an emergency could change
the situation, which now prevents him
from negotiating new wage contract,
Mr.. Harrington told the operators, it
was learned.
The operators met the miners head
at his suggestion in compliance Mith
the existing contract which expires
Friday night, the failure to renew
it having resulted in the break
throughout the central competitive
field, which includes Illinois.
Hints at Emergency
Il am not in a position to negotiate
new contract" Harrington told the
operators, he said after the meeting,
which lasted less than two hours.
THE policy committee of the Inter-
national union has decided against
separate state agreements.
Sometime in the future, perhaps,
an emergency might arise which would
change the situation"
The operators asked Mr. Harrington
to explain what he meant by an emer-
geHcy. He replied that he could not
say definitely at this time what emer-
gency might arise.
The result of the meeting was con-
sidered by the operators to have been
nearly negligible and they merely
reiterated previous statements in re-
cent days that Illinois mines would
be closed down simultaneous with the
suspension of work and that no effort
so far as known now, would be made
to operate.

SCOUT USES HIS FIRST AID

While engaged IN playing football

thrown forclbly against broken bot
tie, the contact severing an artery In
his ankle. Twelve-year-old Randolph

was happily on the spot. 1t was only
a few days before that he had quail
fed In his first aid test, but he knew
his job. Rapidly he made tourniquet
out of his suspender and applied 1t ac-
curately, closing the artery which had
been bleeding so profusely. The In
jured lad would soon have bled to
death without instant treatment. A
stretcher was improvised from some
OF the other boys coats, under young
Martins direction, and the victim car
ried to the office Of the nearest ply
stefan, DIR. G. J. Yorty. On examining
the treatment Doctor Yorty was
amazed to learn that twelye-year-old
boy could perform so grave task SO
perfectly. He sat down at once and
wrote Il letter to scout headquarters
detailing the incident and emphaslzlrA
his admiration for a movement which
could give boys such training.
The action Of Scout Martin Is said
to have given scouting a tremendous
boost locally, particularly among the
parents of boys. The hero of the in
cident is member of Troop 63 of the
Second Pittsburgh district in charge Of
