Indianapolis, April Continued
gains in the non union coal fields
were claimed today by the United
Mine Workers of America for the
nation wide suspension of work in
the coal industry with the unions
announcement that $4,000 miners
are now participating in the walk
out.
Plans for pushing the movement
into the non union fields, particu-
larry in central Pennsylvania were
being considered by union officials,
with indications that more organic
erS may be sent into the coal fields.
Formal announcement of any decis-
ion was unlikely for the unions plan
has been to permit it's field forces
to appear unanfounced at their
work.
With the srtike now nearing the
end of the second week, the new fig
ures on the number of idle men
show an increase of $1,000 since the
opening of the suspension when the
union claimed 100000 participants.
Or this number $4,000 recruits have
been added this week, union officials |
asserting that most have been oh
tanned in central PENNSYLVANIA.
Except for the developments in
the non union fields no change has
yet come in the general situation !
In union circles here the opinion
was that the strike is settling down
to test of endurance and that any
changes will occur slowly.

when the party platform had not
made a declaration on the subject,
Governor Cox kept his mind open
until the last minute and planned to
insert a paragraph on the single
term issue so that it could be tele-
graphed to the newspapers and in
cluded in the speech which had
been mailed several days in advance.

to exclude the question from his

an expectation that if an issue were

make a speech upon it.
Mr.. Harding's views on a single

campaign at Marion, and it looked
for a time as if both the Republican
and Democratic candidates might be

then nothing has been said about it,

taken by member of the Republi-

progress can win over reaction the
very least of victories only by reso-

leaving Europe to Wallow in the

to which reaction would sentence 1t

reason why America should sign
treaty that would merely perpetuate
ancient feuds and make new wars

peace of the world. Unless that
can be made reasonably sure, with
Europe's sincere cooperation, the
