Hoo Warns of
General Coal Strike
Informs Public That Stage is
Set For Strike in Soft Coal
Regions the Last of March.

Washington. Jan. 19.-Warning of an
impending general coal strike in the
country's coal industry was given today
by Secretary Hoover, who declared that
the public should know what to expect
when the national agreements covering
the wages and working conditions o,
miners expire April first
THE stage" he said, appears to be
set for a strike in the bituminous coal
regions about the last of March"
While he did not discuss what the gov
ernment's plans for meeting such an
emergency were, but said there had been
no conferences between representatives
of the administration and the miners
and optrators for about six weeks.
While he did not discuss what the
governments attitude might be in the
event of a general coal strike, the en-
preston was gained that the adminis-
tration was regarding without eldue
alarm the possible approach of such a
strike situation.
Operators In the union fields declar-
ing that non-union coal producing terri
tory has been taking an increased pro-
portion of the business, have announced
their purpose of reducing wages when
the contract expires, while John L.
Lewis as president of the United Mine
Workers, has in speeches before union
gatherings and statements, asserted that
the men could accept no reduction, but
would seek increases.
Ordinarily wage negotiations in the
bituminous industry have been begun be-
tween an organization of operators ir
what Is known as the central competitive
field including Pennsylvania Ohio, In
diana and Illinois, and the union. The
( agreement reached in this area has beer
| the basis of similar agreements in al
the union outlying districts.
Certain of the Pennsylvania operator
| have given notice that they would no
renew the wage, negotiations this yea
| in association with other sections of tn
central field. on the ground that Wes
| Virginia wage scale. chiefly non-unior
We're tht chief competitive factor.
Secretark Hoover some weeks ago in
duced the operators to meet with Pres
ident Lewis and submitted a propositio
that the entire question be submitted t
arbitration. This the union representa-
tives refused on the ground that tn
constitution of their organization for
bade the submission of the question t
outside arbitration in adva nee of dire
negotiations with the employers. Thi
position has remained unchanged. a
though Mr.. Lewis was called to WASH
inCton last week for a conference wit

POPE BENEDICT's ILLNESS
IS EoT REGARDED AS GRAVE

, Rome, Jan. 10 (By the A. P.)-The
physicians in attendance upon Pops
Benedict, Doctors Battistini and Big
mini, after their evening visit, described
the broncial affection from which the
pope is suffering as taking the usual
course. The temperature was slightly
more than 100, little higher than the
morning temperature.
The feeling at the vatican appears to
he that the pope's illness is not grave.
Monsignor Migone celebrated mass
this morning in an apartment adjoining
the pope's bedroom. The door to the
sick room remained open so that tho
pontiff might hear.
1t is said that the pope contracted his
,present Illness last Thursday, after he
had celebrated mass in Mathilde chapel.
il He has suffered from coughing spells
and has shown considerable restlessness.
Notwithstanding the optimism, theirs
is no assurance that the attack has been
checked all that could be said at the
Vatican was that the physicians hoped
TO prevent the spread of the disease and
avoid complications.
