NO SPLIT LIKELY
in UNION FORCES
Illinois State Agreement Not Ex-
pected to Have Any Effect
on Prospective Strike.
(sy The Assoclsted Press,

INDIANAPOLIS, March s.-No split
OF union forces over the prospective
coal strike April 1, was expected to-
night by officials Of the United Mine
Workers Of America to result from
any negotiations that may be held in
Illinois towards effecting a wage
agreement for that state alone.
A message from Frank Harrington,
Illinois district president and leader Of
the anti-administration faction with
in the union was declared by the Of
ficials here to mean that Mr.. Earring
ton would be governed by the decision
on single state agreements that will
be made by the unions policy on which
the administration officials viii have q
ma jority following.
This announcement by the Union
leaders here was regarded as increas-
ing the likelihood OF a valkout OF
miners April 1 and also as removing
a possible wedge IN the nationwide
strike threat BY single state agTss-
ments keeping some miners at work.
The Harrington message sent from st.
Louis where Illinois officials met to
consider the single state agreement
proposal asserted that negotiations
would be entered into by the miners
unless an interstate conference was
arranged, but it was regarded that
Illinois would in the end be governed
ny the policy committee decision.

ILLINOIS MINERS
TRYING FOR SCALE
May Enter Into Negotiations
With State Operators Without
Sanction of Higher Board.
(5y The Associated Prsss)

ST. LOUIS, March S--Illinois coal min
ers will enter into negotiations with the
mine operators Of the state in an effort
to reach a wage agreement without the
sanction of the international executive
board unless the international officers
succeed In arranging an interstate con-
ference, between miners and operators
of the central competitive field, Frank
Harrington, president of the Illinois
Union, announced here today.
The sting of this ultimatun, contained
in telegram despatched to interna-
tional headquarters at Indianapolis by
Harrington, was somewhat removed,
however, when the Illinois president an
nounced in an interview that he expected
both sides would be called to Washing
ton before the date set in his message,
March 81, and that the future really
rests in the hands of President Harding
and his cabinet.
w. K. Kavanaugh, chairman OF the
operators association OF the fifth and
ninth Illinois districts. was less hopeful
of averting a shutdown than the union
chief. Regardless of what happens at
Washington, or the outcome Of the diff
culties between Harrington and Interna-
tional President John l.. Lewis, Mr.
Kavanaugh said Illinois mines were
bound to be idle for a month or more
while new wage agreements were being
negotiated.

RAILROADS MAKING FIGHT TO
RETAIN RATES NOW EXISTING
Declare That Mass of Testimony
Before Interstate Commerce
Commission Warrants
Any Reduction.
tBy The Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, March S.-Railroads
began their final defense today OF ex-
listing levels of freight and passenger
rates before the interstate commerce
commission when attorneys gave oral
arguments which conclude the hear
ings that have continued for several
months. Henry Wolfe Bikel of the
Pennsylvania system, Fred III. Wood,
general counsel of the Southern Pa
cifc. and Frank Gwathmey for the
southern railroads. insisted that neith-
er on legal or economic grounds had
the mass OF testimony taken disclosed
ground for the commission to make
general reductions of rates.
The railroads gave way to their op-
ponents just before the days sessions
concluded, and Fred w. Putnam of
the Minnesota railroad commission,
speaking for all state regulative bodies
associated in the hearings, entered
upon the preliminaries of an argu-
ment which will be continued tomor-
row. State commissions are asking,
first, he said, for passenger fare reduc-
tions on the ground that they are too
high for the traffic to bear. and that
no portion OF railroad charges, il re-
duced, would be more quickly reflect
ed in the actual cost to the ultimate
consumer"
Mr.. Bikel used railroad earnings
statistics, exhaustively placed in the
record. to formulate his conclusion
that no reductions can be granted.
Railroads are entitled to per cent
return on the value of property used
in transportation. he contended.
whether this figure is fixed in the flu
ture by law or set up by the commits
sion as a standard, and the latest
earnings reports indicate they are now
making but 4.49 per cent.
Mr.. Wood took the same position,
asserting that mo greater blow could
be dealt the credit OF carriers" than
that involved in q general rate reduc-
tion. Mr.. Gwathmey added that mo
grounds exist for the assumption that
there can be an immediate stimula-
ton of business by rate reductions"
state commissions, shippers and
business and Industrial representa-
ttves win have the next two days TO
elaborate their arguments in the case,
and railroad attorneys win conclude
the entire hearing Saturday with their
rebuttal.
Commissioner Lewis interrupted Mr..

railroads intended to proceed under
'the promise of lower rates which
they made TO the country by the reso-
luton OF their executives in instituting
complaints before the railway labor

NEW YORK, March 8.-The grim
humor of q wireless operator, who
laughed at death and flashed striking
bits of wit into the ether as his ship,
the Norwegian steamer Grontoft wal
lowed and slowly sank during a mid
Atlantic hurricane last Thursday, was
recorded on the radio log of the DAN
ish steamer Etonia, arriving today.
Each detail Of the ships plight, each
call for aid, was supplemented by the
jesting comment Of the radio man,
whose identity is still unknown. He
talked as If he were going on a lark
In port, instead of to the bottom of
the sea. His last message, a disjoint-
ed one, was q series of witticisms-
with death as the butt Of the joke.
The Estonia, herself hard hit in the
110-mile gale made violent but an I'M
successful effort to reach the Grontoft,
which first sent out calls for aid at 10
o'clock last Thursday morning, report
ing her position as about 700 miles
east of Cape Race. The Estonia at
that time was 4s miles west of the dis
ab1ed Norwegian and steaming in an
opposite direction, Captain Hans Jor-
genson ordered his ship about and she
steamed toward the Grontoft.
Meanwhile radio operator Hansen
engaged the operator of the Grontoft
in conversation. The latter sent out
first the following sterotyped irony
of the seas:

like this" Then followed series OF

PREDICTED THAT COMPROMISE
BONUS BILL WILL PASS HOUSE
Republican Leaders Plan to Call
Up Measure Under a Sus-
Pension of the Rules,
Limiting Debate.

WASHINGTON, March S.-While
the fight against the compromise SOL
diers' bonus bill continued today una
bated, house members on both sides
of the question predicted privately
that the measure would be passed by
the house.
Although a two-thirds vote would
be required to put the bill through
under such a procedure, republican
leaders were discussing the question
of calling up the measure under a sus-
pension of the rules. This would pre-
clude the possibility of amendment
and ordinarily would limit debate to 20
minutes on each side.

a decision probably will be withheld

Leaders said the army appropriation
bill would be taken up next Tuesday

under a suspension Of the rules, it
probably would not be considered be-
fore the week beginning March 20.
There was some discussion during
the day as to President Harding's at
titude with regard to the compromise
bill. Representative MondeH Of Wy
oming, the majority leader, said he did
not think the statement made at the
white house yesterday, that Mr.. Hard
ing occupied the same position that
he did when he suggested a sales tax

WASHINGTON March s.-Approx-
imately 20 per cent Of the government
employees in the classified civil service
are barred from pension benefits Of
the retirement act under an opinion
by Attorney General Daugherty, trans.
mitted to Secretary OF the interior
Fan, who administers the act. Sec
retary Fan estimated today that $4,000
employees were affected, and that out
of 5000 who had retired under the act,
four-fifths. or 6,40o employees, have
been drawing their pension illegally
under the opinion.
The attorney general ruled, accord-
ing to a review of the opinion submit-
ted Secretary FAN by the solicitor Of
the interior department. that only
those employees who held their posi-
tions as the result OF competitive ex-
aminations were entitled to the bene-
fits Of the retirement act. Thus, Sec
retary Fall said, all those employees
who entered the classified service as
the result of presidential, orders with
such examination to the number OF
$4,000 were excluded.
The attorney general held further
that while the president by executive
fed service particular positions and
classes, such an order would not en-
brace persons who hold particular po-
sitions except upon competitive exam
ination.
In his review Of the opinion the So
licitor Of the interior department said
