STRIKING BRITISH
MINERS May ACCEPT
Offer RUSSIAN MONEY

London, May 17.-(P)-The mine
owners have not yet indicated whether
they are disposed to accept Premier
Baldwin's plan for the rehabilitation
of the mining industry.
Both miners and mine owners are
still considering its bearings and dis
cussing details. and probably little
will be definitely known before Friday
when the prime minister is expected
to inform parliament how matters
stand.
There Is much interest In the offer
of the Russian miners congress sitting
at Moscow of the money refused by
the trades union congress during the
general strike to the miners fedora
ton to assist the wives and families of
the British miners. 1t is not known
if this money will be accepted. but A.
J. Cook, secretary of the federation,
favors acceptance. and the question
will be discussed by the delegate con-
ference on Thursday. The miners
federation funds are very low. and
Secretary Cooks idea is to welcome
funds from any source.
There is delay at some of the ports
In getting the lockers back to work,
but the position improves daily. Most
of the other industries are operating
normally and the only apparent diff
Guilty in the railway world is curtail-
ment of some of the Whitsuntide holt
day trains on account of dislocation
caused by the strike
The financial situation continues en-
barra ssing for the recent strikers and
the transport workers have issued an
appeal that all who have resumed
work should contribute sixpence week
" in addition to the ordinary trade
union contributions. to assist In fl
nancing those whose reinstatement has
been delayed.
Premier Baldwin's appeal for concil-
iation seems to have left little bitter
ness behind the strike. During the
course of that industrial movement
demands were made in various quar-
ters for new legislation to clip the
wings" of the trade unions. Now,
however, little is heard of such leg
islation, such restrictive legislation is
unnecessary, and there is disposition
to adopt the premier's pull together"
advice.

Both Branches Favor Expendi-
ture Over 3-Year Period for
Disabled - Measure Passed
Under Suspension Of Rules
Democrats Charge Bill is Sop
to Soothe Soldiers in Election
Year

Washington, May 17.-F-Legis-
lation calling for expenditure of $780,
100000 in the next three years for
the aid of $1,000 disabled World War
veterans was passed unanimously
today by the House and sent to the
Senate.
Action came after one hours de-
bate. with no amendments allowed
under the rules, and after the meas
ure providing for expenditure OF
$40, 100000 had been sent back to the
veterans committee for eliminations
during the five months the bill was
before 1t.
The measure introduced by Chair
man Johnson, Republican, South
Dakota, would extend for one year
from July 2 next the time for con-
verting term insurance, remove limi-
tation on the time for filing disability
claims, and provide for completion Of
rehabilitation work now under way.
Although the measure was unop-
posed on the final vote, Democrat
members crammed into the half hour
allowed them for debate, an unre-
hitting attack on the administration
and Republican leaders of the House
for bringing the measure up for con-
Sideration under suspension OF
rules that limited discussion and
prohibited amendments.
Representative Connery, Demo-
crat, Massachusetts, assailed the bill
as "a sop thrown out by the admin
istration to soothe veterans in cleo
ton year" Will Representative Gar
rett, the Democrat leader charged
that since creation of the House vet
Grams committee all bills bearing its
approval have been considered I'M
der asimilar suspension of rules
''curbing free discussion in the
House."
The chief sections of the original
measure deleted during the prolong-
ed committee consideration were
those providing for capitalization of
tubercular patients on a large scale
and creation of medical corps in
the veterans bureau. The hospital
program, the committee said, will be
taken care of in the new disability
schedule being drawn up by the vet
Grams bureau.
The measure approved today also
would amend the veterans act of 1914
in more than a score of technical
and administrative points.

there is an outward calm in the
Polish capital. complete settlement
Of the situation brought about by
the ousting of President Wojcie-

by Marshal Pilsudski. has by no
means been reached.
There is a difference of opinion
on the converting of the national as
sembly for the election of "a new
president and Premier Bartel is
having some difficulty with his cab
met, for it is announced that Count
Skrzynski has declined to accept the
post of foreign minister on the
ground that he does not consider
Pilsudskis position stable enough at
the present time. 1t is reported that
General Dowbor Musnicki refuses to
accept the new situation and con-
tinues to march on Warsaw at the
head of his troops.
Several regiments, which were
summoned from Posen to aid the
Witos government. are still lined up
about 10 miles west of Warsaw fac
ing the capital. All attempts of the
Warsaw government to induce them
to return to their garrisons have
been futile. 1t Is asserted officially
that the present congestion of\trains
from Warsaw precludes their trans
portation to Posen.
Some of the parties have protest.

president, that Warsaw is not a ia
Vorable site for meeting of the
