Do Everything"
BY the Associated Press.

Chairman Payne Of the Red Cross in
formed Gov. Pinchot Of Pennsylvania
today his organization was unable to
extend relief to children of striking coal
miners Of western Pennsylvania.
Judge Payne's reply came just "a
hours before a group Of mine operators
was to convene with Secretary Lamont
to discuss conditions in the bituminous
industry, preliminary to possible gen.
eral conference Of miners and operators.
Gov. Pinchot had described western
Pennsylvania situation as "a genuine
calamity" and asked the Red Cross to
provide food for children In the strike
area. Pinchot said they were seriously
Restricted by Charter.
In his reply, Payne said the Red
Cross was confined by its charter to
relieving emergency disasters classed as
due Ito an act Of God"
IF 1t should undertake to deal with
disasters wherever and however they
occur" Payne added, 1T would speedily
find itself unable to proceed with its
real duties. The Red Cross cannot do
everything"
Payne said the coal strike was the
result of an economic situation preva-
lent in that industry for the last 10
years and may continue indefinitely.
He added there were other agencies
local and county, for providing relief In
the strike area.
Expects Dozen Operators.
The conference Of operators was
called as q step toward rehabilitation
Of the industry. President Hoover, act
ing at the request of John l.. Lewis,

some common ground on which all ele-
ments might unite in general confer

have reached a point where negotiations
for the moment are extremely difficult,

This afternoons edition Of Osserva-

In government circles 1t Is admitted
that resumption Of conversations with

today he would sail from New York to-

The prohibition administrator said
another problem to be studied there

After this withdrawal. leaving addi-
