JUGO-SLAVS MEET
ON MONEY CRISIS

BELGRADE. March s.-A- finan-
ciaI conference ordered by the
Jugo-Slav government met here to-
day to consider measures for deal
ing with the financial crisis caused
by the big slump in the rate of ex-
change on moneys of the Southern
European states. The Rumanian
lei has slumped to. a half dinar
(the present value of the dinar Is
3s), Polish Kronen to rs for dinar
and Czecho- -Slovakian kronen have
fallen from 100 kronen to 100 kro-
men for the dinar.
The money market is shakey and
Is on the verge of collapse, while
the Jugo-Slav bankers are incensed
at the moratorium which the gov
ernment hopes to lift next week.
Jugo-Slavia Is basing its hopes on
readjustment by a loan from the
United States, and Il will probably
begin negotiations at the conclu-
sion of the present financial confer
ence. Belgrade has applied to Eng
land and France for advances. but
the Interest demanded Is too high.
II will offer the United States as
security concessions on iron and
coal mines, timber. cattle and
wheat. Belgrade is negotiating
with American capital to build a
railroad to Spalato. obviating the
Fiume dificulties.

Reports Soviet
Is Still Strong
Prof. Coolidge Says America
Is Main Source of
Relief.

The Soviet government in Rus
sia is still strong and cooperating
with the American Relief Admin
istration as far as broken-down
transportation facilities will per-
init, according to Prof. Archibald c.
Coolidge. who has just returned
from Russia.
Prof. Coolidge. a member of the
faculty of Harvary University and
an expert or, Russia, has been act
ing as liaison officer between Col.
Haskell, head of the famine relief
work. and the Soviet authorities.
He is now in Washington to make
a full report to Secretary Hoover.
The Soviet government recog-
nizes what we are doing" Prof.
Coolidge said. "Kamenev himself
has declared that the American Re-
lief Administration has done more
than 80 per cent of the foreign re-
lief work so far. Even the memory
of the comparatively insignificant
assistance America gave the people
entirely out of their minds.
There may be a small June crop
In the Folga basin. but all the land
is still under snow and the high
death rate of horses must be taken
into consideration when It comes
to spring planting.
Secretary Hoover has received
assurance from the Soviets that
they will make every effort to live
up to the guarantee and make good
on demurrage charges arising out
of the delay. ,

MINERS READY ~.
TO NEGOTIATE

INDIANAPOLIS, March s.-The
United Mine Workers are ready to
confer with the mine operators to
pegotiate a new wage scale, Presi-
dent John L. Lewis declared yes
terday commenting on the state
merit issued by Secretary of Labor
Davis asking that the opposing
forces get together.
The statement of SECRETARY
Davis fully sustains the position of
the. mine workers thar the opera
tors are morally bound to meet with
the miners in a joint conference for
the purpose of negotiating new
wage agreement" said Lewis. "The
operators agreed in writing, in New
York on March 81. 1920. that they
would meet with the miners prior
to April I. 1922. We have all along
contended that they were bound by
this agreement and that their re-
fusal to enter into such negotiations
was a direct violation OF their con-
tract"
