POLICY COMMITTEE OF
MINERS MEETS TO PUT
GREATEST STRIKE ON

Cleveland, o., March 24-The gen.
eral policy committee of the United
Mine Workers of America met here
today TO complete arrangements for
putting into effect what International
President John L. Lewis declared will
be "the greatest strike in history"
The meeting was held behind closed
doors, but it was understood steps
would be taken to arrange and con-
duct the strike without leadership
from the time it starts April1.
Full power to conduct the affairs
of the union during the suspension
OF work was vested in the policy COM
mittee by the miners in convention at
indianapolis last month. The COM
mittee also has the authority to me-
gotiate or new wage agreement
between the miners and operators.
One of the most important ques-
tions expected to be. decided by the

agreements with the mine owners. At

The subject was expected to bring
to the fore the long standing faction
al fight between President Lewis and
Frank harrington, president Illi-
nois miners. Harrington was said
to be prepared to demand that reg
lonal conferences be permitted. He
is said to have many supporters.
Mine owners who live here express
cd hopes that Lewis and harrington
would reach an agreement. They

Inspected
tBy Associated Press)

Miami, March 24.-Nothing has
been heard from the seaplane Miss
Miami since Wednesday noon when
it left here with pilot and five pas
sengers on flight to Bimini.
Planes went out again today from
Palm Beach, Miami and Key West
in search of the flyer. The missing
plane was camouflaged during the
war, having beeg used as a naval
plane. This paint has never been re-
moved, and makes it harder for the
searchers to sight it.
Speed boats and destroyer which
searched yesterday are in port today
and are being held in reserve in case
any rescue work is necessary.
Three naval seaplanes from Pen
sacola and the destroyer Benham, at
Key West, were ordered by the navy
this afternoon to assist

BONUS BILL PASSES
HOUSE BY MAJORITY
THAT'S OVERWHELMING
By Associated Pressl

| Washington, March 24.-Passed by
the house late yesterday by a vote
of 1888 to 70, the soldiers bonus bill
was made ready today for the senate
What would happen to it there was
regarded as problematical, but house
proponents proposed to use every eff.
fort to prevent it from being shelly
led, as was the original bonus meas
lure.
In the long debate which preceded
the final vote in the house, some
speakers predicted that the senate
would kill the bill, while others ap-
parently were not over-optimistic as
to the chances of it's passage in its
present form. Whatever it's ultimate
fate, it appeared fairly certain that
the bill would slumber for quite a
while at the other end of the capi-
tol, where already the calendar is
congested with treaties and annual
supply bills with the permanent tar
iff bill yet to be reported.
There were those who believed that
the senate finance committee, to
which the bill would be referred in
the natural course, would make sharp
changes in it. Some administration
officers were known to look to the
senate to pass measure providing
means for financing the bonus, but
they were not prepared to predict
whether the means would be taxes
or the use of foreign bonds.
President Harding has been repre-
sented as looking with favor on the
of the legislation with re-
funded foreign bonds provided they
were in hand before the bill was
passed. While the measure was in
the making by the house ways and
means committee, the executive, ac-
cording to some members of that
committee, suggested a delay of
ninety days in the belief that the
would by then be in possess
sion of soc of the British bonds.
There was some discussion in the
house yesterday as to whether the
president would approve the bill in
its present form, with a conflict in
.he opinions expressed. Representa-
i've Longworth, republican, Ohio,
said that while he would not presume
% speak for the executive, he had
'eason to believe that Mr.. Harding
would sign the house measure if it
cached him without change On the
'ther hand, Representative Snyder,
New York, who said he
lad talked with Mr.. Harding last
week, declared he would be exceed
ngly surprised" if the executive
igned it.

Chicago, March 24-Gwendolyn Ar
mour, 6 year old daughter of Phillip
D. Armour III, died today from a
form of septicemia after a weeks
illness during which the millions of
the Armour family, the skill of a doz-

close all traffic on that section of
Lake Shore Drive. Special policemen

NOMINATION OF A
MAYOR WILL BE A
ACT
No Opposition to DR.. A.
NJ. Steen Has Yet
Developed
DARK HORSE FADES OUT
Johnson Not
Decided What He
Will Do

Tonight at 8 o'clock at the city
hall the democrats will nominate a
candidate for mayor, and at present
| it looks as if the affair will be pure
ly perfunctory, DR.. A. M. Steen be-
ing the only candidate. 1t has been
the case in the past, however, where
only one avowed candidate went be-
fore the convention and was defeated
by dark horse.
There has been persistent talk of
dark horse tonight, but there seems
little ground for it. In former in
stances where the candidate was
turned down at the last moment
there has always been tentative
understanding that an eleventh-hour
effort would be made to elect a dark
horse. Now there seems to be no
preconcerted effort along this line.
DR.. Steen has been mayor of Pa
latka before and those who recall
his tenure of office say that he made
an excellent executive. He saw that
the city's laws were carried out and
gave full attention to all matters
coming under his authority.
Alderman Johnson Undecided.
There has been much speculation
as to whether or not two aldermen
will be elected when the regular cleo
tion is held the third Monday in
April or one. At the primary Mon
day night the electors nominated
two men so as to be prepared in the
event Alderman johnson resigned.
Lawyers differ as to his right to hold
the aldermanic seat from the sew
enth when he has removed from that
ward but City Attorney Merryday
holds that he has the legal right, and
no one is disposed to contest this. |
There has arisen the question of
whether or not the retention of his |
seat by Alderman johnson, after he
1ad removed from the ward and is
now registered in another ward,
would have any bearing in the litiga-
ion now pending with the Southern
Utilities company over gas and cleo
ric light rates.

Williamsburg, Va, March a.
Fire early this morning destroyed
three buildings in Williamsburg and
for a time threatened an entire busi-
ness block. The structures, all
frame, had been standing for years
and the flames swept through them
in almost less time than it takes to
tell it.
The Williamsburg fire company,
hundreds of volunteers, including
nearly all the students at William
and Mary college, fought the fire,
but were unable to do little toward
checking it until it had burned itself
to a vacant lot.

to exist.

part of the army headquarters.
