SENATOR NORRIS PROPOSES THAT GOVERNMENT TAKE OVER
MUSCLE SHOALS PROPERTY AND OPERATE NITRATE PLANTS
MINE WORKERS VOTE TO
WALK OUT ON FIRST OF APRIL
UNLESS AGREEMENT REACHED
Only Possibility of Conference Is
for Government to Call
Both Factions to Capital.
Csy Tho Associated press)

INDIANAPOLIS. March 10.-The
strike vote of soft coal miners was
completed tonight by local unions
scattered throughout the country and
though the exact returns will not be
known for a week officials of the
United Mine Workers of America here
believe that nine-tenths or more OF the
workers cast their ballots for walk
out on April 1, unless a new wage
agreement is made in the meantime.
Chances of getting a wage confer
ence with the operators OF the central
competitive field, comprising western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Ilh-
nois, seemed remote TO the union
chiefs for no change in the attitude of
operators opposing an interstate con-
ference resulted from the appeal of
Secretary of Labor Davis for the two
sides getting together. The only pos
sibility of a conference as viewed by
union officials was for the govern
ment calling both operators and min
ers to Washington, but no one at
union headquarters had any informa-
ton that such call was contemplated
by administration officials.
What may happen in the Pennsyl
vania anthracite field depends on the
outcome of the meeting between union
officials and operators at New York
next Wednesday. To tho extent only
of having arranged for a joint con-
ference is the strike situation in the
soft and hard coal fields differently,
though no referendum vote was cast
by the anthracite miners. Their con-
vention, however, declared for a sus-
pension in event new wage agree
ment did not provide for wage ad-
vances. In the soft coal fields the
miners ask the retention of their pres
ent basic wage scales.
The International executive board of
the union ended a four-d day meeting
here today with the announcement
that its last days work was purely
routine business. No consideration
was given the strike situation, mem
bers said, adding that all questions re-
lating to the strike were for the policy
which has not yet been
called.
President John L. Lewis said no
date for the policy committee meeting
has been set. Tabulation of the strike
vote will begin next Thursday.
Though the vote may be overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the strike it is not
final for the policy COM
nittee has broad authority for dealing
with any emergency question that
may arise in connection with the
strike. However, the union officials
have not manifested any intention of
offsetting the strike in absence of any
with the operators.

Will Go on Regardless of

PROVIDENCE, r. T., March TO-
Recourse by mill owners TO the courts
TO obtain an injunction against mass
picketing adopted this week by strik-
ing operatives at Rhode Island textile
plants affected by the strike was FORE
cast today. In a statement issued at
noon Governor San Souci declared he
had advised the manufacturers who
have protested to him against what
they termed unlawful mass picket
ing'' at mills to seek relief in the
courts. Strike leaders in the Paw
tucket and Blackstone valleys replied
with statements that picketing would
proceed injunction or no Injunction"
TN reply to the protest of repre-
sentatives of manufacturers against
mass picl1eting," said the governors s
statement, II have suggested to them
that If they believed such picketing is
unlawful they should apply to the
courts to determine the fact, as this
is properly a judicial function.
II am sure that when the court has
decided what constitutes the limit to
which lawful picketing may go, the
decree OF the court will be observed
by all law abiding citizens"
"Iniunctions or no injunctions, we
will picket till hell freezes over" de-
cIared John H. Powers, executive
board member of the United Textile
workers, addressing mass meeting of
strikers.
'If they put us in Jail we win tell
them that we are assured of three
square meals a day there, something
we don't get in Pawtucket."
Another development today in the
strike situation was the sunmonnig
of a meeting Of the state board OF
mediation and Cancellation for Mon
day next. The announced purpose of
this meeting is 20 consider the, pro-
posal for asking the legislature for
to the existing law which
would give the board mandatory pow
ers to conduct Investigations and en-
force its decisions.
A statement made public today by
Labor Commissioner George II. Webb
estimated that since the beginning of
the textile strike, strikers had lost
nearly $4,000, 600 in wages alone. This
estimate was based on a total OF 49,
600 strikers and an average weekly
wage of S17.55, both conservative fig
uPes, according to the commissioner.
Business all over Rhode Island, the
statement continued, was feeling the
effect of the strike in q financial way.
