miners In the united States.
Cessation in Hands Policy COMMITTEES
The issuance of the call came with
the recent strike vote of soft coal
miners. which is not completely tabu-
lated, but it was said officially that
the work of the unions board of tel
lers had progressed to such q point as
to show every field voting overwhelm-
ingly in favor Of suspension. Indi-
cations were that nine tenthS of the
miners favored the walkout.
Cessation of the suspension. in whole
or part, is left to the unions policy
committee. composed of more than 100
union officials. which will meet in
Cleveland on Friday to consider plans
for conducting the strike. Outstanding
among the questions to be considered
by the committee is that Of negotiating
single state wage agreements. A di
vision within the committee on this
question seems certain with indications
that a majority will oppose the single
state proposition.
The suspension order, which said
blame for the walkout in the soft coal
fields rested with the operators for re-
fusing TO negotiate a new contract with
a new agreement with the hard coal
operators, was mailed by office en-
ployes at the unions headquarters here
in the absence of officials. The pro-
cedure. however. previously had been
arranged by officials, and the release
of the call. which was dated Monday.
was directed by officers who are in New
York, meeting with anthracite opera
tors.
Contract Ties Up Nova Scotia
The unions membership, excluding
that in Nova Scotia. which will not be
affected by the strike. is about 100000
men. OF these, approximately 10000
are in the three anthracite districts of

tered over the soft coal fields. Past

however. have virtually stopped all op-
erations. leading to the official estimate
that almost 100000 men will be called
out of the mines.
The order was not sent into Nova
Scotia because the miners there are said
to be working under an arrangement
made some time ago, when contract
expired.

PREMIER RISKS
OFFICE BY TEST
Resolution Seeking In
dorsement Must Be
Simple or Face Defeat.

London. March 21.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. ss.t-parliamentary lobbies
had az the principal topic for discus
sion. Tuesday night, the decision of
Premier Lloyd George to seek vote
of confidence in the house of commons
for his Genoa policy. The balance of
opinion was that by this move definite
political crisis would be sbelved tenn
porarily.
There was little doubt among the
parliamentarians that the premier would
secure q majority. as. in addition to
large section Of the unionist vote, it was
pointed out that he probably also would
be supported in this particular ques-
ton by the liberals and laborites
But. some Of the better versed COM
centators declared. much win depend
upon the terms of the motion for the
vote Of confidence which will be moved
by some private member. If it is
simple motion. expressing parliament's
confidence in the premier as the repre-
sentative of Great Britain at tie con-
ference, it probably will be opposed only
by 80 or 60 ''die hards;' should the
motion seek to commit the unionist
party in any ambiguous way. it's fate
will be more doubtful.
If the motion is carried by only
narrow majority, the parliamentarians
believe it would be considered equiv
alent to defeat and would most likely
bring about the resignation of the prime
minister or dissolution

SPEAKER GIVES

RULES ON BONUS
Bill to Come Up Thurs
day in | House and Will
Be Rushed to Vote.
Procedure to Cut Off
Minority Possibility
of Offering Changes.

Washington. March o1-The soldiers
bonus bill will be taken up by the
house Thursday under suspension Of
the rules under plan agreed upon
Tuesday at conference between
Speaker Gillett and Chairman Camp
bell. Of the rules committee.
The speaker, it was said, has agreed
to entertain a motion to suspend the
rules. Mr.. Campbell said he would call
meeting of his committee Wednesday
morning, at which he would ask the
committee members to report rule
designating Thursday as suspension day
with proviso that fou~ hours debate
on the bill shall be provided.
Under this procedure, two third
majority would be necessary to pass
the bill No amendments would be per-
mitted nor would it be possible to make
motion to recommit them.
Those in charge of the legislation
were confident that it would receive
more than the two-thirds majority.
They expected the vote to come be-
fore adjournment Thursday after two
hours Of discussion on each side.
Democrats Will Oppose Rule
The special rule will be presented
Immediately after the house convenes on
Thursday. Mr.. Campbell said. but
whether any debate on it will be per-
mitted has not yet been determined.
The chairman might cut off discussion
by moving the previous question after
explaining the rule. A majority vote
only will be required to adopt the rule,
which democratic leaders said would
be opposed almost solidly by their side.
With the rule adopted, the next
step would be for Chairman Fordney,
of the ways and means committee, who
will be in charge of the bill, to move
to suspend the rules and pass the meas
nre. thus opening the way to general
debate on the bonus itself. After four
hours the final roll call would be or
dered.
Closes Down on Democrats
After his conference with Mr.. Camp
bell. Speaker Gillett said he was in
cined to think that it would be just
as well not to open the way for the
democrats to offer motion on the
bill. which would have to be permitted
unless the rules were suspended. He
called attention that, in their minority
report. the democrats had urged that
the bonus be paid by an excess profits
tax and increased surtaXes.
Asked if motion to re-enact those
taxes would be germane. since the bill
had no tax provision. Mr.. Gillctt said
he might rule that it was not, but that
there then probably would be an ap-
peal for his decision, which would bring
the matter of those taxes to vote of
the house.
