STRIKE Coal
MINERSL00MS
HOOVER WARNS
Situation Regarded As
Serious By Administra-
ton Heads

Washington, D. c., Jan. 1s.-Warnins
of an impending general strike in tho
country's coal industry was given to-
day by Secretary Hoover who declared
that the public should know what to
expect when the national agreements
covering the wages and working con-
ditions OF miners expire April l.
The stage he said. appears to
bo set for a strike in the bituminous
coal fields about the last of March"
Mr.. Hoover did not indicate what tho
governments plans for meeting sucn
an emergency were but said there had
been no conference between represen-
tatives OF the administration and the
miners and operators for about six
weeks.
The impression was gained, howevcr,
that the administration regards with
no undue alarm tho possible approach
OF such a strike situation.
AS the time has approached for the
construction of new wage scales md
working contracts between the miners
and employers in the union field, neso-
tiations have twice been started be-
tween the mine workers and tho EN-
ployers. with Mr.. Hoover, representing
tho government, taking . tentative
part.
Operators in the union fields, de-
claring that non-union coal producing
territory has been taking an increas-
ing proportion of the business. havs
announced their purpose OF reducing
wages when the contract expires while
John l.. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, has asserted that tho
union men would accept no reductions.
but would seek increases. Ordinarily
wage negotiations in the bituminous
industry have begun between All or
ganization of operators in the central
competitive field. including Pennsyl
vanta, Ohio. Indiana and Illinois Il
the union. The agreement reached in
this area has been the basis of similar
agreements in all the union outlying
districts.
Certain OF tho Pennsylvania opera
tors have given notice that they wo";d
not renew the wage negotiations tnis
year. claiming that West Virginia
wage scales. chiefly non-union wcro
the chief competitive factor.
Secretary Hoover some weeks aco
induced the operators to meet with
President Lewis and submitted a prop
osition that the entire question be sub
mittcd to arbitration. This the union
representatives refused because tho
constitution of their organization for
bade the submission OF the question 20
outside information In advance OF dl-
rect negotiation with the employers.
This position has remained unchanged.
althc Mr.. Lewis was called to wash-
ingtcn last week for n conference with
Secretary Hoover.

In that mental capacity he learned to
ape the manners Of the wealthy and
powerful which stood him in good
stead in the more ambitious fields
where he was to project his future
schemes.
Five years after he finished his
first term in Sing Sing. Kern had
wormed himself, as personal valet,
into the household Of Paul @. The
baud, wealthy member Of New York
society. Then one fine day he dis
appeared with Thebaud's expensive
jewelry.
The total amount Of the jewelry
stolen was $4,000. About $40 900 of
1t was recovered in q New York
pawnshop. At the time of the rob-
berry, the police questioned a Mrs.
Marie Poillon, wife Of q waiter.
After q countrywide search Kern
was caught in New Orleans. He

When arrested Kern stoutly de-

ments found meanwhile had made
Thebaud's trip unnecessary.
On his return to New York, Kern
played on Thebaud's sympathy and
induced him to ask Judge Foster in
general sessions to be lenient. In

half years. in Sing Sing, Justice Eos.

your crime 10 q very serious and
very heinous one. You were trusted
by your employer. You were the
valet Of Mr.. Thebaud, and you had
access to his valuables. You stole
many thousand dollars worth OF
jcwelry and ran away with 1t.
Mr.. Thebaud has interceded in
your behalf and asks the court to
deal with you leniently. The district
attorney approves of the leniency that
the court IL about to extend.
Under all the circumstances Of the
case, feel that I am dealing with
you now as leniently as I properly car
in the interest of justice. Under this
conviction you might have received
ten years in States prison. but because
of your plea, and because Of your
earnest efforts to aid your employer
whom you wronged, and because Of his
intercession in your behalf, the sen
tence of this court Is that you be i'm
prisoned in States prison at hard
labor for four years and six months.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Francis P. Gsrvan, who was
director of the bureau Of investigation of the alien prop
ery custodians office when the sale of the Bosch Mag
neto Company to Martin E. Kern approved, today
told reporter that he would have nothing to say for
publication at this time.
When Mr.. Garvan was shown rogues gallery pictures
of Edward Kern which had been identified by many per-
Martin E. Kern, he could not recall whether he
had ever seen the man.
He indicated, however what his defense will be if he
is called to testify before the Federal grand jury in Bos
ton Congressional investigating committee concern
ing the Bosch transaction.
He will deny that he had knowledge that any member
of the HoblowerWeeks syndicate to which he sold the
seized German property alleged to be worth over $1,000
900 fora little than $4,000,000 German
had criminal record.
Further he will assert that he acted after trusted Gov
