THREAT FAILS

BELLAIRE, Ohio, April l
UN.S0 Attempts by the United

tic strike in eastern Ohio and
northern West Virginia coal fields
met with failure today, according
to coal operators.
The sound of mine whistles
proving stronger than the unions
call for a general strike, fully IS
per cent of the miners went back
to work, despite the union pre-
diction that $4,000 men would
join the walkout today, operators
said after a survey.
Others Back Tomorrow
Many of those not at work to-
day will return tomorrow, after
taking one day off to attend the
annual observance Of the inaugu-
ration of the eight-hour day,
being held here today, mine
owners believed.
approximately $4,000 miners
assembled here to hold a parade.
Promising nc disorder, they
said they had joined 10000 south
ern Ohio miners already on strike,
and had launched a four-State
protest against their wages.
$4,000 Out of Work
A total of $4,000 members of
the Unitet. Mine Workers of
America, sponsor of the strike,
were estimated by union leaders
to be out of work today in Ohio,
West Virginia, Illinois, and In
diana as result. Operations were
suspended in the Illinois field at
midnight, throwing $4,000 out of
work, after a wage conference
collapsed.
No violence is expected in the
strike, according to authorities.
The miners simply failed to make
their customary appearance at
the diggings.

ROOSEVELT CALLS
HOUSE LEADERS TO
DISCUSS FARM AID
Continued From First Page.)

Forestry Association, the President-elect
told OF the advantages Of practicing tree
cultivation and converting sub-marginal
farm lands into forests.
1T Is question of land use," he
said, "a question Of putting every acre
In every State in the Union into the
use to which 1t is most fitted. Every
agency, Federal, State and local. can
cooperate in the work"
A land survey was described by the
President-elect as one of the first es-
sentials toward putting lands to their
best use. He said New York State al
ready had plotted about one-sixth of
the State to determine what lands
should be put into forestry uses and
that the State was already beginning to
buy up submarginal lands to convert
them into growing areas.
OF the $4,000, 900 acres Of farm lands
in New, York State. he said there re-
mained, 100000 acres that ought to
be planted in trees.
Mr.. Roosevelt said State could well
afford through bond issue to obtain
the money to put these lands out of
agricultural cultivation and pointed to
savings he said would result from the
fact the State would not have to main
tain roads and schools in the areas.
Mr. Roosevelt estimated 1t would cost
the State about $4,000, 900 to convert
the poor farm lands into forest areas
and that savings of from two to three
million dollars year would result.
In Northern States, he said it would
be upward of 20 years before the
forest areas would reach a productive
growth, but he said that In Southern
States, where there Is a longer grow
ing season, this would be attained In
shorter period.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, November 80.
What do Southern leaders think Of

Nearly score Of those gathered here

they spoke optimistically.
None hazarded a guess that business

nearly all said a steady improvement. .
was apparent.
Some Lines Improve.
Here are their replies:
Reuben B. Robertson Of the Cham
pion Fibre Co., Canton, N. c.: We
haven't seen any violent signs of revi-
val. I believe 1t is the lull after the
election and as soon as people recover
from the excitement we teel sure busi-
ness will pick up. Some lines already
are showing Improvement, particularly
in leather"
; F. l. Woodruff of Atlanta, assistant
to the president of the Southern Bell
Telephone g. Telegraph Co.: I'VE hope
we have touched bottom, and We feel
that next year is going to be better
than this"
Roland Turner, Atlanta, general agri-
cultural agent Of the Southern Railway:
"Theer is great deal in the agricul-
tural field to be encouraged about There
has been an enormous move back to the
first principles OF agriculture-that is,
living at home. The problem Of surplus

Have Reached Bottom.
Howard E. Coffin of New York, presi-
dent of General Textiles: "All thought
ful people have now come to the con-
clusion that we are at the bottom of
what we have chosen to call a depres-
sion. We are headed for a long steady
climb back to what we have come to
consider normal business conditions
Rapidity OF our progress toward a more
normal economic status depends upon
The quality and sympathy of the team
work and cooperation with which we
meet the many economic problems con-
fronting the country. We are pioneer
ing in a new era of economic history of
the world"
Miss Jenn Coltrane of Concord, N.
C., for the Woman's viewpoint: THE
greatest thing ever to happen to us is
to awaken us to our own potentialities
We have made the greatest mistakes
that have ever been made because of
one thing, greed The men made the
mistakes, We women will help rectify
them"
David r. Coker Of Hartsville. S. c.,
seed agriculturist and farmer: The
apparent attitude Of Southern Congress
men toward reopening the foreign debt
discussion is unfortunate. The hope
less feeling Of business IN this country
and foreign nations is due to that ap-
parent attitude"

PROPER PUBLIC SPIRIT
HELD TASK OF CHURCHES
Bishop Mcconnell Cites Leadership
of Ecclesiastics in Sentiment
Against War.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, November 30.-The crea-
ton Of a public spirit in which right
things can be accomplished is the
greatest task of the church In a de-
mocracy, Bishop Francis j Mcconnell
of New York, president of the Federal
Council of the Churches Of Christ in
America, last night told representatives
of % denominations at q dinner meet
ing.
1T is not the business Of the church
to create laws" the bishop said, al
though sometimes law is q great
help. Rather, it is the church's func-
ton to make social climate favorable
to right social action"
Oficial utterances Of the churches,
Bishop Mcconnell said, cannot be
scoffed at now. as formerly, because
ecclesiastics have informed themselves
OF current events and procured expert
Information and knowledge.
This development, he added, is lead
ing to certain public sentiment
against war. The movement has pro-
gressed so far. he said, that "the mill
tary man Is becoming ridiculous"

Seek to Install National Ma

~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Republican leaders are planning 10
install a new national machine In
operation shortly after this administra-
ton goes out next March 4.
Everett Sanders of Indiana, chairman
of the Republican National Committee,
is destined to be succeeded and q whole
sale reorganization Of national head
quarters is planned.
Demand Of johnson.
Into the deliberations of party chief
tains has been thrust demand by
Senator johnson of California, who
bolted the Hoover ticket to support Gov.
Roosevelt for new deap' within the
ranks.
President Hoover, though defeated, n
the titular leader in the minds Of many
Republicans on Capitol Hill. He al
ready has called on the party to look
ahead and Is expected to aid In the
reorganization.
However, the Old Guard Of the party
as well as the independents who de-
serted the President in the campaign,
are, for the most part, not taking Mr.
Hoover much into account in the new
set-up
How far the old party regulars who
fought determinedly against Mr..
Hoover's nomination in 1928 and the
independents who refused his leader
ship in 1882 can act together Is q
question. Senator Johnson did not think
in terms of personalities in his new
deal" demand, talking rather on party
principles.
Division Of Opinion.
There Is division of opinion in
Republican circles whether President
Hoover has an ambition for a second
term. Certain 1t is that regardless Of
reorganization there will be many Of
Mr Hoover's loyal heutenants In key
positions on the National COMMITTEES.
The names Of Vice President Curtis
and Senators Moses Of New Hampshire
and Watson Of Indiana most frequently
are heard in the discussions Of leaders
Of the reorganization movement All

defeats on November 8

less an armament agreement makes
possible a curtailment of military ex-
penditures, the economies glibly de-
manded in the civil branches OF the
Government can be brought only at
the price of drastic shrinkaRe OF
present Federal functions.
Laws must be repealed; services must
be withdrawn; bureaus must be abol-
ished
President Hoover is expected to make
recommendations along this line In a
reorganization message submitted to the
coming session Of Congress. 1t is
doubted, however, that this message
will cover the subject fully or that his
recommendation will be specific. 1t
would be idle, In fact, for him to sug-
gest a thoroughgoing retrenchment, as
the subject Is too big to be dealt with
by short session.
Somebody, however, sooner or later
must do the job. Unless business con-
ditions and Government revenue pick
up more rapidly than Is anticipated,
the only alternative is a heavy increase
In taxes. Right now the outlook for
real economy is not very bright.
