MINER PREDICTS
COAL FAMINE
Vice President of Union Sees
Danger in Next Six Weeks

New York. April 6.-Predicting
that the nations will be in the midst
of bituminous coal famine in SIX
weeks unless the present strike is
settled, Philip Murray, vice 'presl-
dent Of the United Mine Workers OF
America. tonight declared CON
gress must be blind not 10 see what
he coutry is up against"
Mr.. Murray's statement was
made shortly after John L. Lewis,
president Of the mine workers IN
ternational union. asserted that the
refusal Of operators in the central
competitive field to confer with
the workmen. at the invitation Of
the house labor committee, meant
the strike would become q fight
to the finish
In support of his prediction of q
famine. Mr.: MURRAY asserted that
the stock piles Of the country con-
tain only 10000. 900 tons Of btu
muniouS coal, Of which 10000, 600
already are in the bins OF the con-
suner. At the present rate of con-
sumption OF 100000 tons a.week,
the 40,000.OO0 tons will suffice Cor
only another five weeks, according
TO Mr.. Murray's figures.
Claims of the operators that the
production of non-union mines
would prolong the nations supply
to eight weeks were denied by the
union leaders. Latest reports from
inon-union stronsholGs, he said. IN
dicate that 10 per cent. Of the noa-
union miners would have walked
out with the strikers before the
week end. Fifty per cent. have al
ready done so, he said.
In the estimate that, when the
present stocks are exhausted, he
said. "non-union mines will have
piled up sufficient fuel for one
more week. then will come an ac-
tual shortage which Will cripple
basic industries throughout the
country"
Mr.. Murray cited that the United
States Steel corporation and its
subsidiaries in the Pittsburgh dis
trict now have only sufficient coal
for - hours. A shut down of the
mills due TO lack of coal will throw
200. 900 men out OF work, he said.
Before the end Of the week, he
said. 900 other men. in the rail

Russia's reply to the allied memo

Gold bars, diamonds and other prec-

NEW WAISTC0ATS OF RATlNE

The frayed or fringed skirt has led
even neckwear into the temptation Of
raveling Its edges. When rattne Is
the material, and rust white the
color combination, the effect Is very
smart and the attractiveness Of the
sport or tailored suit Is greatly en-
hanced by the addition.
Ratine waistcoats are quite In keep
ing with the character Of tweed and
homespun and should be in consider

are worn. Pongee is another practical

The same style idea might be car

The whole idea In designing clothes
for the stout figure is to secure length
