"A charge Of dynamite was explod-
ed under the boiler house at the
Patrick mine of the Nicholson
Coal Co., near here early today.
The guard at the mine was at
once reinforced by deputy sheriffs
and a force of state police was
sent to investigate. Wires stretch
ed from the boiler house to a
nearby wood showed the charge
had been exploded by a battery.
The mine was closed soon after
the coal strike began.
@ Evictions continued today
throughout the Fayette County
region 1t was declared to be the
policy Of mine companies that all
strikers We're to be asked to re-
turn to work before the eviction
notices were served. There is to
be no question as to whether they
belonged to the union If they
agreed, the eviction notices were
destroyed. The companies made
it plain, however, that while min
ers might belong to the union,
they would not deal with the or
ganization. It is estimated to the
present about 125 families have
been evicted in Fayette County.

Split Threatened

GENOA, May 1s.-tBy The AS:
sociated Press.)-As the result O.
the meeting Of the economic con
ference sub-committee on Russian
affairs today the situation became
so critical that it seemed doubtfu'
whether the British and French pc
sitions could be reconciled.
M. Barthou, head of the French
delegation, declared at the meeting
OF the sub-commission that France
would never consent to haylnI
mixed commissions on which the
Russians served give consideration
to Russian credits, debts and the
treatment, OF foreign property ma
tionalized in Russia.
After the adjournment of the
meeting which was taken at LIE
p. m. until O'Clock, the British
delegation announced that serious
though friendly discussions mad
been carried on.
5 Other Withdrawals Threatened.
Most OF. the frontier questions, t
was put forth had been settled, and
it seemed likely that if discussion
OF them were pressed at Genoa, it
might cause the Withdrawal of RouS
mania, Czech -Slovakia& and Poland.

Roum an ia and Czecho -Slovakia
might object to taking up the Hun Z
garian claims mstconnected with rights
Of Hungarians living in neighbor-

it is declared, believed this propo-
sition to be dangerous and point
out that if a precedent were esta b.
lished similar problem Of minori-
ties would be faced by Italy with
reference to F'iume and in the case
of some OF the northern sections Of
Italy where strong German minori-
ties reside.
