THREAT OF STRIKE
BY COAL MINERS

indianapolis, Feb. l4.-Threat Of q
nationwide coal strike on April l Of
both btJuminous and anthracite union
miners was proposed today to the
special convention of the United Mine
Workers of America by the unions
scale committee as the weapon to
preserve present basic wages for soft
'oal miners and win increases for the
anthracite workers.
As soon as the report was present
ed the convention adjourned by an
ImoSt luminous vote until tomor-
row without any action or debate on
he seal" proposal Likewise the
threatened fight in behalf of Alex
tnder Howat. the Kansas leader who
was expelled from the union, failed
20 come before the 1000 delegates
but it was said it might develop later.
While no debate developed in the
convention over the scale committee
report which included small set Of
demands and a policy for action by
he convention the delegates held in
fomai conference throughout the
lay debating the various proposals.
apparently the majority view coin
.idcd with that of the union officials
who were said authoritativcly to have
ought by the report to win public
opinion to the miners and also force
he coal operators into joint wage
conference with the union.
In brief the committee demands in
'iudc the following:
Refusal to accept any wage re-
iuctipn in soft coal fields, the fight
icing to preserve present basic scales
without any general increase; adjust
nont Of inequalities" differentials
within and between districts, entail
ing wage advances for some miners;
increase of 20 per cent in wages for
anthracite tonnage workers, and 81
lay for day laborcrs; abolition of the
&utmatic penalty clause for fnilg
miners or operators violating work
ing agreements; limitation of the
light hour day to the time of entry
md CNit from the mine; pay and one
half for overtime; double pay for
Sunday and holiday work; and week
y, instead OF bi-week.y monthly
pay.
AS a preface tn the demands tha
report declared any wage cuts would
ycduCe miners pay so as to bring
poverty, suffering and degradation
n many mining localities" and add
ID I've do not believe the public asks
hct It's fuel needs be supplied at the

As an addition to the demands the
report declared as statement of

HUNDREDS HIT
SAWDUST TRAIL

SparCanDurg, rep. l4.-MOre than
1000 went forward tonight at the in
vitation of the Rev. Billy Sunday
after he had preached on the unpar-
donable sin, taking his text from,
Matthew 1891, "Wherefore say unto
you, all manner of sin and blasphemy
Shall be- forgiven unto men but the
hasthen.y against the Holy sas,
shall not be forgiven unto men,, t1E'
Sunday prsaehed tonight isone s6f ,hia
-.strode est spiritual sermons. The re,
sporse was prompt when the invita-
ton was given.
Converse college, the Shriners' club
and the garage and filling station men
and other organizations attended the
service in a body and after the servic :
Mr.. Sunday and his party were enter
tanned at dinner by the Shriners.
Mr.. Sunday, refreshed by day ard
night of complete rest, this afternoon
began the sixth and last week of his
campaign here with a powerful and
appealing sermon on "Christ in
Agony" The sermon was based on
the hours spent by Christ in the gar
den at Gethsemane, and the evangel-
ist drew a vivid picture of the
Savior's agony over the sins of men
in His last hours.
1t was the kind of semon most
appropriate to the closing days of
such campaign as has been conduct
ed here. Christ loved the world and
the people in it, the evangelist said, to
such an extent that he gave His life
to wash away the sins of men.
Christ suffered agonies at the last
he said, but not because of the man.
ner of death that He was to endure,
but because of the knowledge that
some men would reject Him and faunt
the sacrifice He was to make.
Turning a moment at this point
Mr.. Sunday went on to say that the
only real suffering Christians endure
comes from the knowledge that some
of their own loved ones will reject
Christ. The suffering caused by re-
lection of Christ, he said, is the most
poignant in the world, and if men
would just realize the suffering they
are causting their loved ones by the
coldness toward religion they would
be moved to better lives if by no other
reason. = - - = 8 '.'-s = ~ y =
The text was the oath verse of the
22nd chapter of Luke, "And being in
agony he prayed earnestly, and his
sweat was as it were great drops of
blood falling down to the ground"
Some of the skeptics, he said, have
ridiculed this text and have said a
man could not sweat blood, but he
proved by his medical books that men
within recent years have been known
to sweat blood when in great mental
agony. The fact as recorded by Luke
is literally true, he said Christ's suf-
fering was so great that He literally
sweat blood.
George Arnold, business man OF
Paterson, N. j., who was converted in
Mr.. Sundays campaign there, ad-
dressed the Christian men tonight
after the service and urged prepara.
ton for the time when Mr.. Sunday is
gone.

for work beginning today, saying in a
statement issued this morning by A.
A. Gerald, president Of the union,
that notices given 81 employees, men,
bers of the union, yesterday "can only
be construed as a virtual lockout of

part of the company to cease opera
tion Of it's street cars" F. H. Knox,

ed on the telephone at o'clock this

The union men, following the dis
charge of 81 employees yesterday, met
at their hall early this morning and

Gliding unanimously in favor of the

CATHOLIC PRIEST
HELD FOR MURDER

montreal, rep. l4.-Ine Rev. Ade-
lard Delorme, a Roman Catholic
priest, was arrested teafght on a
charge of having murdered his half

found him criminally sesponsible for

The long missing VII of the stu

at the alleged direction sos the clergy
man just four days before his death,
was found today in the office of No
tary Belanger, and disclosed that the

and administrator of ths estate
The hearing today, at which Father
Delorme took the witness stand and
calmly related what he knew of his
brothers. movementssonsth the day pre-
ceding his death was allied with
tense moments. Thpublic was ex-
cluded, officials permitti1& only a few
newspaper men to be present. The
priest went over the previous account
he had given of how the young man
had left home for an evenings en-
ioyment after which h did not see
him again.
The excitement was intensified
when J. c. Walsh, NJ. P.Aatesignated
by the attorney generals Office to
conduct the inquiry, began to ques-
ton the priest about his brothers
will which had been missing until to-
day although police had searched for
the document.
Father Delorme stated that the
will had been left at the Office of a To-
cal notary and when II was produced
he suggested that it should not be
read, contending that should it be
found that he would benefit by its
terms, his position would be "pe-
culiar."
The contents of the will were then
divulged and by its provisions Father
Delorme was found to be tthe princi-
| pal beneficiary of the deW students

Police officials testified that when
they asked Father Delorme about the
will at first he said it was in Ottawa
then at the office of a local notary
and finally that he did not know
where it was.
Their testimony also showed that
bullets in the young mans head bore
the same barrel marks as those fired
from a revolver found in the priest:
car, and that soap had been used in
an apparent effort to remove blood
stains on the seats and cushions OF
the machine. Feathers found in the
car also were described by witnesses
as similar to those on the automobile
wrap covering the victim.
| Coroner Mahon cautioned the ju,
rors that although Roman Catholics
they were not to be influenced by the
fact that a priest and servant OF
the church might be affected by theil
decision. They stood seven to one
on their verdict finding him Grim,
inally responsible for hjsShalf broth
er's death. :.
| Father Delorme was unmoved BY
the verdict and walked briskly to the
automobile in which he was DRIVEN tc
police headquarters.
