OPERATORSAND
MINERS DISCUSS
new PEACE PLAN
(By Dispatch A. j. yvIraI

PHILADELPHIA Pa, Jan. 29.-An-
thracite miners and operators at their
joint conference today each presented
a proposal to end the long strike.
Discussion Immediately was entered
into on both plans and shortly after
D. m. adjournment was taken until
tomorrow afternoon without a vote
having been taken on either proposi-
ton
Analysis of both plans, which were
given out after the conference adj
journed, showed they contained prQ-
posals that previously have been voted
down by one side or the other.
The operators plan is identical to
that which the mine workers re-
jected in the last days of the New
York conference with the exception
that one paragraph was added to it.
This paragraph read:
'No change in the wage rates paid
shall be made except in case of eco
nomic necessity"
The mine workers proposition con-
tanned features Of the plans sub
mitted by Governor Pinchot of Penn
sylvania and Alvan Markle, chairman
of the joint conference.
Both plans bring in the names of
Charles e. Hughes, former secretary
of state and former general counsel
of the United Mine Workers of
America. In the operators plan he
would be requested to select three
persons to act as arbitrators in case
the anthracite conciliation board
could not agree on readjusting wages,
if economic conditions require.
In the miners plan, Hughes, James
A.. Davis, secretary of labor, and
Governor Pinchot are named as a
fact finding commission to investi-
gate all facts relating to the indus
try in the event either side should
make a request of the Cancellation
board for revision of the agreement
after June 1, 1928. This commission
would then report to the conciliation
board the facts and proceed to dis
pose Of the matter as promptly as
possible"

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-After hob
nobbing all week with Europe be-
tween SMELLS of static and sos calls
American radio rams stayed at
home" tonight and listened to North
America broadcasting by zones. With
e4xcention of station WAHG, few
American broadcasters tried to reach
overseas.
Miss Anne Morgan sister of j. p.
Morgan, financier, and Mrs. A. M.
Diken, member Sof the Frencih
academy of agriculture, who is a
guest of Miss Morgan, broadcast
greetings to France from the Rich
mond Hill, Long Island station Both

came on the air, continuing for 10
minutes. When they ceased the cen
trail time belt took up the relay to
be relieved quarter of an hour
later bv the Mountain time stations,
while the Pacific coast broadcasting
completed the program.
The exchange of programs with
foreign stations, which ended last
night with record of 81 overseas
stations having been heard in the
United states was a success from a
technical standpoint, even though
MANY small set radio fans were dis
appointed, the radio week committee
asserted.
Powell Crosley, Cincinnati, chair
man of the committee, said that al
though the test had 'been hampered
tby every hindrance that has ever oc-
CURED in the history of radio" a
great deal Of data has been gathered
that will thrown light on the prob
lens of radio communication in gen
eral.
Percy w. Harris, editor of the Radio
Press, cabIed the committee today
that last nights programs broadcast
from American stations were heard in
London and Stuttgart.

LAND LUBBER HELPED

NEW YORK, Jan. pa land lub-
Der, but land lubber who also is
a fighting man, was added today
to the list of heroic men Of the
sea who rescued the crew of the
gale beaten freighter Antinoe.
Colonel Clint C. Hearn of the
coast artillery, a passenger aboard
the President Roosevelt, which kept
a four day vigil beside the found
ering Antinoe, used his knowledge
as a gunnery expert to aid in
reaching the imperiled crew.
When the Roosevelt's deck gun
doomed 16 times, and as many
times failed to shoot it's line across
to the Antinoe, Colonel Hearn de-
vised a spiral coil to be put be-
tween projectile and rope to break
the shock. Chief Engineer Turner
made 13 of the coils. They worked
and aided materially in establish-
ng contact between the two ships,
o the rescue would be effected.

Several Hundred Apply
For Jobs With Arizona
Industrial Commission
CBy Dispatch A. P. wire)

PHOENIX, Jan. 29.--One of the
first duties of the new state indus
trial insurance commission which
meets for the first time next Mon
day February /, will be to pass
upon several hundred applications to
it and the governor for jobs with
the commission. The governor an
nounced today that the commission
would hold it's first meeting in the
house chambers. 1t would require
a large place for the commission to
meet in, the governor said, in order
to care Off all those who have APP
piled for positions and who will
want to appear in person before the
commission on the first day.
The first matter of business to be
handled by the commission will be
the organization of the commission,
the election of the chairman and
the employment of secretary An
important first duty of the commits
sion also viii be the choice of an
actuary. This latter task will be
a hard one as there are but few
actuaries in the United States, with
only one or two in Arizona.
There are all sorts of rumors pre-
valent as to who will be the new
warden of the prison. Three men
seem to be the favorite guesses for
the job and are as follows:
Thomas French present assistant
superintendent; Scott White present
secretary; and Billy Delbridge, pres
ent parole clerk. The governor re-
manned silent in the matter and in
dicated that he would not announce
the successor to Sims for few days
yet.
TT won't hurt the prison to run
without superintendent for a few
days." the governor said. He added
that Sims might not like the work
on the commission and resign which
would make an appointment un-
necessary

The great mine, with hosting
capacity of $4,000 tons a day, was
planned throughout, workings, shafts
and surface structures, before the
first breaking of ground. Into the
plans went the newest safety meas

At strategic points throughout the
workings rock dust is stored on
platforms easily tilted by the slight

with non n-combustible, on-explosiye

Seal Sale.

Blu United Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Nov Is
Preparing for the annual sale Of
Christmas seals and Health bonds
throughout the State, members Of
the Indiana tuberculosis Associa-
tions met here today.
Results of ten years Of organized
warfare against the white plague"
were clearly shown in statistics re.
leased by organization heads here.
The annual death toll from tuber.
culosis in Indiana has been reduced
from 4,021 in 1915 to 2,498 in 1925
"a reduction Of nearly half, and,
officials assert, the toll is still grow
ing smaller.
Addressing the association here,
DR.. S. C. Darden, president, pointed
out that approximately $4,000 per
sons have died from the disease in
Indiana since 1910. This, he showed,
was more than the entire population
Of many Indiana cities of the size
of Marion and Logansport.
DIR. Darden stated that while the

He cited figures to show that ap-

the world have died from the dis

clared there could be no thought OF
rest until the plague is wiped out.
To show how conditions have i'm

stated that in 1880 an average OF
