thracite industry will result imme-
diately in cheaper coal to the public,

miners on a basis of 81 per cent wage
reductions.
The offer was made as a reply to
the miners demand for an increase
of 20 per cent for contract men and
81 a day for shift workers. made prior
to the strike which began April 1.
Reductions of Is per cent for con-
tract men and s1.20 a day for shift
workers were proposed by the oper-
ators yesterday. Although refused

eotiations, labor leaders asserted.

our minds to do is to lower the price

reason for our insistence that a. re-

/. The average laboc cost OF ton of
hard coal prior to the strike was
$3.s2, he said. A reduction of 81 per
cent in wages would mean a cut OF
30 cents In this labor cost, he pointed

of the house Of lords decided today
that Lady Rhondda's claim and

Lady Rhonddas petition to sit In

ported to the house late in March
1t was referred back to the COM

The sentiment of the debate in

FEAR SECOND BREAKDOWN.
Rival Factions at Dublin Renew
Efforts for Peace.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DUBLIN, May 19.-Fears were ex-
pressed in political circles today that
the negotiations for peace between
the rival factions fn ireland, renewed
Wednesday after what had appeared
to be q final breakdown. would again
result in a report by the negotiators
that they had failed to come to an
agreement.
Further attempts were in, progress
today, however, and there was hope
in some quarters that the last moment
might see a favorable turn
Michael Collins, head Of the pro-
visional government, and Eamonn Do
Valera, the republican leader, in a
prolonged consultation with no others
near a settlement. The views Of OBJ. OBJ
srvers, however. is that each has been
embarrassed by the difiiculty of carry
ing his followers with him.
Prospects Less Bright.
At q meeting last night the mem-
bers Of the pro-treaty party heard
from Collins the result of his con-
versation with De Valera and when
the meeting broke up. the prospect
Of peace seemed less bright.
The fundamental point of difrer-
ence 1t appears is that, the treaty
should be formed only to work the
treaty, while Mr.. De Valera thinks
any acceptance of the treaty 10 q
denial Of the republican principle, The
republican leader Indicated he would
help the governments against Hoo
liganism," but the pro-treaty mem
bers are said to fear he would en-
barrass what remains to be done un-
der the treaty, particularly regarding
the constitution Of the free state.

BLIZZARD DEFENSE
BALKEDBY JUDGE
OverruIes Motion to Order
Verdict of Not Guilty on
Treason Charge.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
CHARLES TOWN. W. Va, May 1s.
Judge ]. n. Woods today overruled
a motion to direct verdict OF not
guilty In the case Of William Bliz-
card, mine union OFFICIAL, charged with
treason az. a result OF tho armed
march last summer against Logan
county non-union strongholds in the
coal fields OF the state.
Judge Woods on the other defense
motion limited the state as to the
overt act on which 1t relied TO con-
Wet the defendant to his presence
with the armed marchers in Logan
county.
Taking up one by one IN his decision
the principal points advanced in the
that there had been evidence sufficient
for consideration by the jury that
war existed and had been levied by
the armed men.
Division Argument Overruled.
He also reviewed the argument that
treason against q state was impos-
sible because Of the division of au-
thority between state and federal
governments. and held that this posi-
ton could mot be maintained.
Points raised by A. NJ. Belcher OF
the prosecution in his argument as
supporting the treason charge: That
levying war was proven by the testi-
mony and constituted the overt act
alleged; that defense claims that the
purposes of the marchers were not
unlawful failed, because the purpose,
tho attorney said, was to kill all the
constituted authorities of Logan coun-
ty before they began union organiza
tion, and that was reasonable pur-
pose; that the federal government's 8
authority was delegated from sover-
eign states, invalidating tho defense
argument there could be no treason
AGAINST q state because the federal
Constitution limited the sovereignty
Of the separate state; that successful
ly to instigate treason IL to commit 1t,
and that the forces with whom the
armed miners fought were military
forces called under power given the
governor.
Many Defense Arguments. :
Among contentious stressed by T. c.
Townsend. defense attorney. were:
That, although there had been much
evidence that many people committed
crimes different and distinct from
treason, the jury should not be given
the opportunity to pass on ques-
ton Of treason, because treason was
the Thought most remote from the
mind of the defendant or any other
