SEC. DAVIS URGES
MINERS PAY PACT
Calls. on Factions Of Impending
Strike to Meet
SEVERAL OWNERS FIRM
Many Accept invitation-Miners And
Operators Alike Signify
Friendship To Federal
Suggestion.

Notwithstanding of Labor
Davis broke the silence he has main.
tanned during the 10 days in which
the Government has actively sought
Intervention in the impending coal
strike to urge mine operators and the
miners unions ~in the name of COM
mon sense to get together and save
the country from the costly results of
strike" The Government has mo
desire to interfere unduly," he an
nounced, but "has duty to safeguard
the interests of the people who will
be seriously affected by the suspension
Of coal mining"
Although no immediate responses
were received at the Secretary's Of
flee after the statement was issued,
press dispatches Immediately reflect
ed the interest taken in it by repre-
sentatives of unions and operators in
the country's widespread coal field.
Official reports to the department,
however, were concerned largely with
details concerning the dissension in
the miners organization, where
Frank harrington, the Illinois leader,
and some other district heads are said
to be beginning local negotiations in
defiance Of the policy of President
John L. Lewis and the national ex-
ecutive board of the United Mine
Workers. Reports also were received
on the attitude of individual mine op-
orators who have in the past entered
into national wage agreements.
The departments agents have been
assured that miners locals in nearly
all sections throughout union fields
are Overwhelmingly voting to strike
April l." but this information has been
discounted to a degree. officials said,
because strike vote is quite often
taken so that committees assigned to
negotiate the issue can act with full
est authority.
There is no disposition in official
circles to conceal that Mr.. Davis state
ment, which explained again the Gov
ernments position, was one result of
the repeated refusal of Pennsylvania
and other mine operators in the cen
trail competitive field to enter negotia-
tions looking to another national wage
agreement. The union, it was pointed
out here, has sought this course from
the beginning, and the operators have
been unyielding in opposition, though
willing in some cases to make local or
district contracts with the union.

Irdianapolis.-Hope Of averting a
nationwide coal strike April l was
virtually abandoned Monday by Off
GERS Of the United Mine Workers Of

Mine owners, who have twice re-

Union officers saw little chance for a

with the operators, March 81 Without
an agreement to become effective

picks, President John L. Lewis said.
By the end of this week the final re-
suit from the miners strike vote will
be made public. 1t is expected to be
IN ratio of 9 to l favoring a suspen-
sion unless the mine owners agree to
open negotiations on the miners de-
mands for @ six-hour day, five-day

Washington Has Meagre Details.

Washington Has Meagre Details.
Washington. - Governmental agen-
cies started investigating an explosion
which partly wrecked the American
Sofia Legation, proceeding on the
theory 1t may be one Of the recent
series Of Red" outbursts against
United States diplomatic Buildings.
So far the State and Justice Depart
ments had only meagre details from
American Minister Wilson on which to
act. Wilson reported that while the
legation was vacant Saturday night a
bomb exploded, causing some damage,
but no personal injuries. The Bull
garian police are working on the case,
but have furnished no clues up to the
present.
The case appears suspiciously like
another RED" act, one of the various
attempts against American buildings
abroad, which started with the sending
OF a bomb to American Ambassador
Herrick at Paris. At that time gov
ernmeDtal authorities established that
a ring of international Reds" in the
hope Of influencing the decision in the
Sacco-Vanzetti murder case at Boston,
had purposed to SOW terror the world

johannesburg. - The troops have
captured 1900 revolutionists at Sophia
town and Brixton Ridge, besides clear.

portant achievement, as the positions
were strong and the rebel occupation
presented grave menace. Airplanes
dropped 80 bombs on revolutionists
surrounding party Of police in the
Brixton area, causing numerous cas-
ualties and scattering the others, many
OF whom surrendered.
The Government issued a long COM
munication this afternoon, declaring
that the operations were proceeding
very satisfactorily and that strong
forces were rapidly converging.
At least 100 persons are believed
to have been killed in Saturdays
fighting here, and the wounded will
reach a much larger number.
Desperate efforts are being made
by the commandos to gain control of
the town before the forces under Mai.
Gen. Sir ]. L. Van Deventer and Brig.
Gen. Conrad Brits can arrive. Only
the northern part of johannesburg is
free Of the commandos.
The fighting for the most part takes
the form Of sniping, there being only
occasional volleys. The only Govern
ment forces to be seen are those
guarding the City Hall.
Police Station Reported Burned.
The striking miners are reported to
have burned the police station at
Fordsburg.
A communique from Pretoria says
large numbers of troops will be avail
able shortly and that recruiting is
going on at a satisfactory pace, al
though many evidently fail to realize
the seriousness of the situation.
Cape Town dispatches say that out
side the Rand the general strike has
had limited success. At Durham a
meeting attended by 800 persons, most
ly strikers, resulted in the formation
of commando Of 300 men, who pa
raded without violence.
A similar meeting at Bloemfontein
favored formation OF commandos, but

the gathering before the decision could
