Washington. April 5.-That the

fully strengthened for the battles

decisive Parliamentary victories on
the eve of the Genoa Conference IL
fully appreciated by high officials Of
this Government, although for OBJ,
yious reasons these officials will not
discuss the developments publicly:
The votes of confidence asked for
and given in London and Paris were
based primarily upon demands for
support of the announced policies OF
the two Governments in connection
with the forthcoming conference.
Neither Mr.. Lloyd George nor VI.
Poincare felt free to embark upon
so vital proceeding as that at

Endorsement of what each stood for

Already there is a measure of con-
flict, although it is not at the mo-
ment believed to be of a concrete
nature.
1t is we'll understood in Washing
ton, for example, that the British
hope to bring up the question OF
German reparations and to recon-
slider certain important phases OF
that problem. VI Poincare, on the
other hand, has pledged himself to
oppose bitterly any revision of the
Versailles treaty as applied to Ger
many and any scaling down of the
reparations exacted of Germany un-
der the terms of the treaty Contro-
very is looked for on that point by
official observers here. Also there
will probably be controversy over
the policy adopted with regard to
Russia. The British seem inclined
no tonly to accord full recognition
to the Soviet Government without
important reservation but are IN.

concert of European powers for the

MANY PAY TRIBUTE
Funeral Services Are In Line With
The Simplicity That Marked Mr.
NattersOn's' Life

Louisville, Ky, April "Marse'
Henry Watterson came nome to Ken
lucky yesterday to rest for all time.
A great assemblage of Louisville citi-
Zens and men Of national prominence
who knew him in life came to honor
his memory. Flags on public build
ngs flew at half mast while simple
services at the First Christian Church
were being held for the dean OF Amer
ica's journalists who died in Jackson
vile, Fla, about three months ago.
The casket, placed on a catafalque
directly in front Of the pulpit. was
hanked on one side with scores of
floral offerings from many parts of
the country. The folds or an Amcri-
can flag which stood to its right and
rear. were stirred by the breeze from
the open doors.
Grouped near the pulpit were mem
bers of the WatterSon family, the
active pallbearers, some Of whom had
been associated with Mr.. NatterSon

Mine owners
ARE ASKED TO
MEET THE MEN
Congressional Labor Com
mittee Proposes Confer
ence Over Strike
SUCCESS UNLIKELY
Senator BOrah Vigorously Critcizes
Stand Taken by the Coal Operators
Approves Stand of Miners.

Washington. April 5.-The coal
operators were assaulted from two
! directions Yesterday in Congress, each
: attack being leveled at their refusal
! to enter Joint wage conferences with
the representatives Of the miners.
I On the House side the Labor Com
mittee sent kilograms to operators in
! the Central Competitive Field exclu-
/ sive of Western Pennsylvania and
/ Southern Ohio, inviting them to meet
! the miners in Joint conference in
Washington next Monday as the first
step To end the strike. Operators IN
/ Western Pennsylvania and Southern
Ohio were advised that they would be
welD omed.
This move to bring about a con-
ference was based on "A statement
made To The Labor Committee by John
/. Lewis, president Of the United Mine
Workers of America, that he would
be willing To 90 into conference with
operators of the Central Competitive
Field, exclusive of Western Pennsyl-
vania and Southern Ohio. if enough
tonnage were represented to make the
negotiations worth while.
On the Senate side Senator Borah
made a vigorous attack upon the
operators for their refusal to enter
conference with the miners. and warn
Cd that the public will rot consent to
continuance Of existing conditions. His
speech was AN amplification of the
statement ne made last Saturday, IN
which he suggested that public owner
ship would be the alternative, II the
coal industry could not reorganize it
self.
ii is apparent that the operators
face repeated attacks because OF their
failure to 90 into Joint conference with
the miners. and that a determined eff
fort will he made to drive them into
conference. That is what the miners
have been working for President
Lewis has lost 10 opportunity IN ms
public declarations to charge the
operators with breach Of contract and
Of good faith, i'm that they signed an
agreement TO hold conference to
frame a new wage scale TO be ettec-
tice as of April t. and then declined
to meet the miners.
But there was very great doubt last
nigh. i'm Washington that the soft
coal operators are ready 10 yield to
the attacks and go into conference.
Their plans to stay out of confer
cnce were laid after careful thought
and after preparation for the conse-
qucnces. And if only a few of them
agree 70 enter the conference, the
miners are likely to take the position
that the section Of the industry Gov
cred is not broad enough to make the
conference effective in restoring peace.
Chairman Nolan. of the Labor Com
mittee. thinks that if a sizabIe section
Of the Central Competitive Field is
brought into agreement with the
miners. the balance Of the field and
ultimately the whole Of the indus
try will be forced into agreement
with the miners along the lines Of the
first settlement. The pressure of pub
c opinion will be sufficient in his
opinion, to accomplish this.

an additional Judge in Florida.
Discussing the coal strike, Senator
Borah Republican,, Idaho, said that

manded. and charged the operators
with contract-breaking in precipitating
the strike.
Coal operators, the Idaho senator
said, owed it to the public to use their

the miners had refused then the crit
icism would have been upon them.
