clever comedy in four acts, will be
presented at Sis O'Clock May 2 9

ditorium by the senior class OF the

ing the fact that they have been
expelled from college for the last
time. Together with their COVER
ness. Violet Penny, they have been
sent to see their father.
Cora is very romantic. senti-
mental girl OF Ii who imasines
herself deeply in love with a grass
widower, or whom the family dis
approves. Bobby has just arrived
at the age where he takes an in
terest in wearing spats and look
ing immaculate. He is violently
in love with the Soverness, whom
idealistic.
The third act, set in a room Of
Wheeler's New Jersey home shows
Clarence, successful in winning
the admiration of all the Wheeler
household, now attempting to heal
the descriptions and the Wheeler
family's domestic difficulties.
In the end Clarence's IDENTIFY is
disclosed, which reveals him to be
an able scientist, who gained suffi-
cient prestige to be listed in

men in western Canada to join in
the walkout. but did not apply to
$4,000 miners in Nova Scotia.
First Case in History.
Never before in the history OF
the coal industry has a suspension
or strike order called for cessation
OF work by all union miners in the
United States In the past, wage
, contracts IN the bituminous and
anthracite fields have not expired
at the same time, but a complete
tieup in union fields was consid-
cred during the great anthracite
strike in 1902.
A sympathetic strike by the BIZ
luminous miners at that time was
rejected by the unions convention,
IL being argued that the soft coal
workers were bound by contract
The issuance of the call came
with the recent strike vote Of soft
coal miners not completely tabu-
lated, but it was said officially that
the work of the unions board of
tellers had progressed to suc1 a
point as to show every field voting
overwhelmingly in favor OF a sus-
pension. Indications were that
nlne-tenths of the miners favored

OPE ERATORS AND
MINERS CONFER
ON WAGE SCALE
Conference of Workers In
Anthracite Fields, Held
in New York, Fails to
Reach An Agreement.
(By The Associated Press.)

New York, March 21.-Failing
to reach an agreement which
would avert the general coal strike
April l. for which an order was
issued from United Mine Workers
headquarters in Indianapolis to-
day, the anthracite miners and OPP
orators wage arbitration commit
tee Of eight tonight ended It's first
conference here.
Members of the committee de-
clined to say whether the session
pointed TO an early adjustment of
wage scale differences.
In a formal statement. James A.
German, secretary Of the commit
tee, and neutral non-voting
member. said:
"Wo did not get beyond a gem
eral discussion OF the 10 wage de-
mands of the United Mine Work.
ers and the attitude OF the opera
tors as they defined it when the
miners presented their demands
last week"
Thus far. il was said. the opera
tors have not offered any counter
proposals. Their arguments today
were based upon their announced
determination that decrease
rather than an increase in miners
wages is the only compromise they
will consider
The conferences. which It Is
freely predicted. will continue for
several weeks will be resumed to-
morrow.
John L, Lewis. president Of the
United Mine Workers union, to-
night declared that, although the
order TO cease operation of the BIZ
and anthracite mines is
termed a Suspension" 1t is, in
reality a strike.
"The only differences in this
case is that we win not begin pay
ing strike benefits--not just yet"
he said.
1--WE are determined to continue
the strike until we have attained
our goal We hope it will not be
necessary to remain out more than
a few weeks, but are prepared to
keep the mines closed indefi-
nitely."
In the btuminous industry, he
said the strike will call out union
lied miners who produce 2,225, 900 |
tons a day. Non-unionized mines
have a capacity of 100000 tons a
day, he said.
Union men estimated that the |
present reserves of hard coal would !
be used up within seven weeks aft
ar the strike goes into effect.
