BOTH SIDES REJECT
British Mine Owners Also Have Turned Down Premier Baldwin'S Peace Proposals.

London. May 22.-Proposals of Premier Baldwin looking to a settle ment of the coal strike have been re- jected by both the miners and the mine owners. The miners declined to accept increased hours of work or T reduction of wages. Now the mine owneros have announced they are opposed to government interference with the industry and insist that the only real remedy for the situation is the adoption of the eight hour day.
 Thus the lockout and strike in the coal mines will continue, for timo at least. Premier Baldwin purposes to send replies 10 both sides in the controversy but there is no indica- ton as to their nature. The rejec- ton Of the Baldwin plan means the withdrawal of the promise Of a gov ernment subsidy of 5000, GOO pounds. IT. miners federation has requested the railway union not to handle coal.

KING FERDINAND
 IS NOT WORRIED
Denies Report That His Throne
 Is Threatened

Bucharest, Rumania, May % (P' King Ferdinand and Queen Marie have left on a 12-day cruise on the Danube, pending the completion of the elections, which begin next Tuesday. Before their departure the king and queen talked for an hour with the correspondent of the Associated Press. They assured him that all reports abroad concerning the insecurity of their throne, un- rest and revolutionary tendencies and the return of former Grown Prince Carol were wholly false.
 You have seen for yourself" said King Ferdinand, that the country is completely calm. There is not the slightest indication of revolution. The peasants were never better off or more contented.
 "The electon preliminaries are being conducted without disorder, our dynasty is as secure as ever. The country Is soidly united; it is a mistake to classify Rumanians as Translyvanians, Bcssarabians, Sax ons or Magyars. We arc all Ku- manians, united under one flag, and striving for one idcal-the good of Rumania.
 "Of course. strong political differ ences exist among various regional party groups and politicians, but any Balkan country would indeed be dull without its political strife and differences of opinion"
 Queen Marie spoke about her in- tended visit to America early in the fall. She said she was looking for ward to it with very keen pleasure
 'I hope to stay there three or four months" said the queen. My American friends want me 10 see every phase of American life. I shall travel from coast 10 coast. I also may visit Canada. My contact with the poor and lowly of my own country will make me feel just as much at home in the humble log. gers hut as in Mrs. Vanderbilt's mansion"
