May Have New Plan.
'y HERBERT w. WALKER.

By lfEltbEhi w. WALNEn.
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, April "A plan for
an early ending of the coal strike
may be proposed within the next
few days by the house labor COM
mittee, Representative Nolan Cali
fornia, chairman Of tie committee,
said today.
This plan is to have the commit.
tee call an informal conference of
the miners and the operators in the
central competitive field who are
not hostile to interstate wage me-
gotiations. The belief of the COM
mittee is that such conference
could draw up a wage agreement,
which would soon be approved by
all the operators in this field.
In the anthracite field work is
suspended, according to President
Joln L. Lewis, only pending the out
come of the wage negotiations in
New York.
The new plans, says Nolan, la
Dor leader, meets with the approval
of President Lewis.
II a definite agreement were
reached at the informal conference.
Nolan believes, other operators in
the central competitive field would
be forced TO approve it. From this
point the circle would be widened
to include all miners and operators
Nolan claims that only the oper-
ators in the Southern Ohio and the
Western Pennsylvania fields have
absolutely refused to meet the min
ers. Although Nolan is optimistic
regarding the plan, others in close
touch with the situation believe the
operators now stand united against
interstate wage negotiations and
none OF them would enter the in
formal preliminary conference.
Indiapapolis, Ind, April 4.-Claims
that thousands Of nonunion men are
swelling the ranks of miners on
strike were made at the headquart-
ers of the United Mine Workers of
America here today.
Fragmentary reports from the non
union fields, according to officials,
showed that workers were dropping
thcir tools to join the strike OF
100000 miners which started Sat.
urday and which has closed 5000
mines.
Word from Kansas said that the
miners there were responding to the
strike call in defiance of the indus
trial court which sent Alexander
Howat deposed Kansas union laed
er, to jail for contempt.
Lawrence Dwyer, international
board member from West Virginia
declared that 1000 unorganized
workers in the New River field had
dropped their picks in sympathy.
Mines Producing Coal.
William e. Green, internationa
secretary-treasurer of the union, wa!
expected to return late today or to
morrow from his home in Coshocton

detailed reports from union officer
and organizers who are in the min
field observing the effectiveness o
the strike.

Continue Wage Farley.

New York, April 4.-Discussion OF

With the exception of one or two
small independents, classified by the
big companies at wagon mines," the
operators still stand firm for reduc.
tion.

Washington. April 4.-Administra'
tlon spokesmen In congress today be
gan counter attack on democrats
who criticized President IIardIng's
action In firing all the executives Of
the bureau OF engraving without
notice.
Democrats have introduced resolu.
tions in congress demanding investi-
cation of the whole affair.
Now. by innuendo and Indirect init.
nation. the administration spokes-
men accuse the discharged employees
OF plotting with persons high in the
Wilson administration TO keep intact
within the government service the
nucleus OF an effective democratic
machine.

Names Are Prominent.

The names of Joseph =. Tumui,y
and of William G. McAdoo, former
President Wilson's ex-secretary and
Wilson's son-in-law. have been drawn
in with the half yelled insinuation
that some at least OF those dismissed
showed greater loyalty to Tumulty
and McAdoo than to Harding and
Mellon.
Orders were issued from some
where that the Caraway resolution
introduced yesterday In the senate
as means of bringing to light the
charges on which Harding based his
dismissals, should be held up for the
present 1t was intimated that the
resolution would be blocked until
Attorney General Daugherty has
completed the inquiry he is making
into conditions at the bureau. That
inquiry is expected to be followed
by statement or action which will
disclose the reasons for the dis.
missals. Such a statement or any
action taken by the government
would render adoption of the Cara
way resolution unnecessary, it was
pointed out.
Controversy To Continue.
The controversy bade fair to con
tinue, however, in spite of republican
efforts to head it off. Some of the
discharged employees have been prom
ised by interested members of con-
gress that the strongest possible
fight will be made in their behalf.
Democratic strategists have seized
upon the incident as a political op
portunity.
Altogether, the matter PROMISE to-
day to develop into one of the most
talked of issues in the congressional
campaign.
Plans NeW "outraees."
President Harding is planning
new outrages on the civil service
law to draw attention from the . in
fanny of his dismissal of employees
of the bureau Of engraving Sena-
tor Caraway, Arkansas, charged in
the senate today in continuing his
assault on the administrations civil
service policy
''In other words,' said Caraway,
"he is going to disgrace some more
men so that the public attention
may be taken away from his action
Of last Friday.'
