GOVERNMENT MOVES TO
END MINERS STRIKE
United States Attorney General sets
Aside the Operators EXCUSE
CalIs~it Strategy of War.

Washington, April 7.-Attorney Gen.
eral Daugherty, in letter to Repre-
sentative Bland, of the house labor
committee set aside the coal opera
tors excuse that wage conference
with the striking miners might bring
federal prosecution by declaring 1t
would not. In statement earlier In
the day he declared:
1.-THE operators attitude is, merely
a part of the strategy of war. There
Is no excuse for their not doing now
what q few months ago they were
willing to do. The excuse they o1fer
now must have occurred to them
when they found popular opinion turn
ing against them because they would
not meet the miners"
He said that the government Is
"watchfully waiting" for any increase
in coal prices and declared:
II intend to see that the public Is
not pinched in any way"
Despite the fact that the operators
have resisted every governmental ana
congressional request to meet the
miners and settle the strike. Repre-
sentative Bland. father of the bill to
investigate 'ne industry, and tl"ir-
man Nolan of the house labor COM
mittee have not given up hope that
a meeting can be brought about.
1--WE are beginning to get some
where" said Mr.. Bland. There has
already been more progress made in
less than a week than would have
been accomplished In month It the
miners and operators had been left
alone. The coal situation will never
be cleared up until the government
steps in and makes a scientific study
of the whole affair through a COM
mission appointed by the President
as proposed in my bill. We can't
wait for that, though, to meet the
present emergency. We have got to
get them together and we are going
to do it.
Before the strike neither side
would concede single point. Already
the miners have agreed to meet with
the operators Of the central cOmpeti-
tive field exclusive of western Penn
sylvania and southern Ohio, or any
other group representing proper
tionate tonnage"
T. Fl. Watkins, spokesman for the
central Pennsylvania operators, testi-
flying before the committee, said:
1--WE must find way to get togeth-
er. / am not afraid of conferences.
I believe in them. We've got to meet
them sooner or later"

UNITED STATES INTEREST
Fully Prepared to Meet the Obiga-

Must "Come Across"

London, April 6.-The British gov
ernment has addressed note to the
allies declaring that, owing to the fact
that Great Britain has to pay the in
terest on her debt to the United States.
she reserves to herself the right to
call upon the allies in turn to pay the
interest on their war debts to Great
Britain.
In this connection it is pointed out
that Great Britain is now fully pre-
pared to pay he interest due the
United States.
London. April 6-There are ind;ca-
tions here that the United States and
Great Britain are preparing joint ac-
tion to compel European nations to
balance their budgets and cease print
ing paper money. as real effort to-
ward economic restoration.
1t is learned from an authoritative
source that the first step will be to
place America and England on a foot
ing of financial equality by settlement
of the war debt problem. 1t is be-
lieved that a United States finance
commission Will meet British experts
shortly and an agreement made for
England to issue bonds against the
debt. These bonds will be taken up
in America and sinking fund pro-
vided. The two countries will then
face continental Europe on equal foot
ing.
Already Britain has served notice
on continental debtors that the three
years convention suspending interest
on debts is about to expire and that
debtor countries must be prepared to
plains that this course is necessary be-
cause she now has to pay interest on
the American debt.

Radio Active Ray
Sink Battleships,
Cures Disease

SAN FRANCISCO, March IS.
Fiction has again been made
by fact if the claims Of Edgar
L. Hollingshead, Pasadena scien-
tist and electrical engineer, hold
good.
He announced here today the
discovery Of . radioactive ray
that can cure disease or destroy
battleships or cities at will.
The new ray has far greater
speed and penetrative power
than any yet discovered, Hol-
lingshead claims. and works
miracles on all forms Of matter.
Some Of his remarkable claims
are:
1t increases or reduces weight
of metals.
Penetrates eleven and one
half inches Of solid steel.
Makes rocks as transparent rs
water.
At its highest rate disinte-
CRATES the heaviest substance so
that it passes away into air.
Unlike radium, which radiates
in all directions at one speed,
the new ray can be controlled as
to speed and direction.

ON TREATY
MPERILS
Idaho Senator Likens Docu-
ment to European Alliances
Before 1914.
By BART Campbell.
BY Internatienal News Service.


Senator William E. Borah of
Idaho, one Of the four Republican
"irreconcilables" pitted against
the four-power Pacific treaty, pre-
dicted in the Senate this after
noon that the pact would "result
in bloody war"
Believes II Dangerous.
Borah Joined Senator Hiram John
son OF California in attacking the
treaty ~ a dangerous alliance"
which he declared was certain 10
lead to serious trouble between the
United States and Russia And
China. E
: "You Senators who say that this
treaty provides for a conference,
have made no provision for confer
powers and those outside. When war
treaty do? II will be worthless as q
means of avoiding conflict"
Every time the triple alliance
group would put out a battleship or
a number of battleships, the triple
entene would put out q larger num-
ber of battleships," Bornh said.
Every time the triple alliance In
creased the forces of its army, the
triple entente would increase the
forces Of its army. So these two
powers were confronting one an
other in the heart Of Europe, the
final result being the conflict of
1914. %
1--WE often hear 1t said that the
war of 1914 was the result of the
action Of one particular nation. In
my opinion that was an idea which
developed after the war began.
Prior to that time the publicists, the
historians, those Interested in public
affairs realized that the coming con-
fict, IL 1t should occur, would be by
reason of the fact that there were
two political groups in Europe which
were viewing one another with sus-
picion.
