BRITAIN BUYS COAL
ABROAD IN STRIKE
Baldwin Says Longer Work.
ing Day Will Be Needed in
English Mines.
BY the Associated Preaa.

q! roe Associated Preaa.
LONDON, June rs. The govern
ment has been obliged to place orders
abroad for maintenance Of essential
supplies Of coal. Premier Baldwin
said In opening the debate on the
coal strike In the House of Commons
today.
He would make no attempt. he
said, to apportion the blame for the
coal stoppage, a folly which must
leave every one worse Of than at
the beginning. but would address
himself to finding a way to escape
and return to the common sense
which alone would save the situation.
MIR. Baldwin said difficulty arose
from the fact that, for the period
Immediately preceding 1924. the pros
perity Of the coal trade rested on an
artificial basis. The only relief that
could come from within the industry
lay in measures of reorganization and
diminution of labor costs, as the re-
searches of the Royal Coal Commits
sion had shown.
Sees Longer Working Day.
The government. he announced,
had come quite definitely to the con-
clusion that . return to the longer
working day was essential. This was
greeted by loud and angry cries of
mo" from the opposition.
The premier said he had been in.
fuenced in his decision first and fore
most by the interests of the men. The
government proposed TO leave the
seven.hour act on the statute books,
hut to introduce legislation enabling
an extra hour to be worked for a
period Of time This would not pre-
scribe longer hours. hut would permit
negotiations on a basis offering the
prospect Of far better scale of
wages than that existing.
Mr.. Baldwin said he had received
positive assurance from the owners
that. on the basis of an eight. t.hour
day. in coal fields producing approx
mately half the country's output, the
men could be offered continuance Of
the existing wages for July, August
and September.
Reduction Would Be Small.
over more than half the remainder
Of the country. the reduction. il any.
would be materially less than the 10
per cent drop. which was al present
requested by the owners. The new
wage could he guaranteed during
July. August and September.
During this period the government
would proceed with reorganization
legislation. and the owners would
take all possible steps to make effec-
tive such of the royal commissions
proposals as might be necessary TO
leave no ground for doubt that the
men would get all that was due to
them.

Aided by fair wind, the Norge

Commander Mobile was reluctant

Engines Unimpaired
Amundsen said that as a result of
the cruise, he had greater faith than
ever in lighter than air craft.
Omdahl found the Norge's s engines
in good shape and said they had
work efficiently during the entire
flight. He is to return to Teller
later in the day and superintend the
shipment of the Norge.
The absolute need of radio sta

Omdahl stated that the Norge
cruised 1000 kilometers during the

Norway, Spitzbergen and Teller, and
declared that the engines were fit to
perform the same feat again.
There was little physical discom.

New York he will have demonstrat
ed the practicabilitv of commercial
flying over n southern transconti-
mental route to such an extent as
to warrant the establishment of n
permanent schedule.
The southern route is the ideal
one for transcontincntal flving,
Smith declares. and the aerial high
way he has mapped out is so arrang-
ed that there are no high mountains
to pass over, thereby avoiding one
of the nightmares in cross country
flying, particularly at night.
In the plane leaving here Satur-
day was a shipment of cigars from b.
p. Hcmeon, cOnsiged to the Valley
Cafe ut Yuma. and a crate of can
taloupes which John Amicon Broth
ers and Company is shipping to its
home office in Columbus. Ohio, to
the importance of keeping an eve
open to the development of aerial
transportation.
Plane Recommended
Every prccaution has been taken
to insure the success of the flight,
Smith said. The plane is a new
one, and is of a model that has
been frowned upon by government
officials, but has the strong endorse
mcnt of such an aviation expert as
Colonel Billy Mitchell, who recon-
mended that the government should
build planes of this tyne. Like 9th
or suggestio from the fiery colo
mel. the bureau of aeronautics turn
ed it down.
1t is Smith S intention to make FL
Centre the western terminal for the
transcontinental line. This is essen
tial as the large cross country ma
chimes could not make the flight to
San Diego. nor up to Los Angeles
without exposing cargo and pilots to
unnecessary danger. Express ship
ments received here would be light
cred to both the above points by
smaller ships.
Smith now has number of sites
for a landino field under considera-
tion in FL Centre and is in hopes
of getting the most desirable one.
To Press representative he showed
credentials that prove he is no fly
bv-night promoter and several in
fluential business men of this city
are vitally interested in his plans.
Photographs of the plane and its
cargo previous to departure were
taken by Leo Hetzel and will be
used in furthering publicity for the
southern route.
