1t is proposed to meet this
emergency by forcing consideration
Of the bill under suspension OF rules,

the Ways and Means Committee said

posal of Chairman Fordney to bring

STRIKE is CALLED
FOR APRIL | BY
MINERS OFFICIALS

NEW YORK. March 21.-An order for
n suspension of work In both the anthra-
cite and bituminOus coal fields through
out the entire country, efTectinE 10000
miners, will be issued late today, accord
ing to Phillip Murray, international vice
president of the United Mine Workers Of
America.
Although Mr.. Murray refused to make
public the text of the order. 1t is under
stood the strike will begin April 1. when
tho present contract between the miners
and the operators expires.
There was meeting of anthracite
miners and operators at the Union League
Club this afternoon.
The strike call for 100000 coal miners Of
America directing them to quit work on
April L was sent out in the mails from
headquarters Of the United Mine Workers
here today.
The order was Independent of the
strike vote which still Is being counted.
The vote thus far indicates a 9 to 1 ma
jority In favor OF the suspension, IS a
weapon to force mine owners into inter
state wage conference.
Anthracite nonunion workers will join
the union men in the strike, according
to predictions at union headquarters,
making a total of approximately 100000
men idle. The unorganized miners in
anthracite fields generally have followed
the union in its action on wage matters
during the past.
Six thousand Of the Nations Z 500 mines
will be closed when the operators and
miners go to the mat Their fight is
directly over the operators constant re-
fusal to negotiate new wage scale to
supplant the one expiring March 81. But
1t Indirectly involves the miners de-
mands for six-hour day, fiveday week
and the operators position for lower
wages.
1t was said here if necessary the min
ers will strike It'll the cows come home
to force the operators into conference as
provided by the existing scale contract.
They will not receive strike benefits from
the international union, but the local and
State unions may help their members
financially.
Some time before that date unless the
strike is averted, President John L.
Lewis will send Geographic orders to all

Named in Maine, but Plu-

AUGUSTA, Maine. March 21.-The spe-
cial Third district congressional election,
which resulted in the election Of n Re
publican, was being interpreted variously
today. The Democrats claimed that the
choosing Of John 7. Nelson with 16,5 98
votes as against the 1886 votes given
his Democratic opponent, Ernest Mclean
was a slim victory and a rebuke to the
Republican Administration. Although In
campaign speeches Nelson had appealed
for a plurality of 10000, the marrying of
his Republican predecessor in 1920, he
expressed himself as entirely satisfied
with the result Of the election. The vote
cast was very light.
