COAL WALKOUT
SEEN LIKELY

Unless there ere new wage
agreements before April /, there
will be no work on that day. John
L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Worke. ; of America, said at
the Senate Interstate Commerce
subcommittee hearing on the Gut
fey bill yesterday.
Carefully avoiding any refer.
ence to a strike, Lewis left no
doubt that the union had no in,
tention of permitting its members
to work without contracts.
A conference of operators and
the union leaders is scheduled to
resume March II wage negotia'
tions which started February 1S
but were adjourned pending com
pletion of the hearings on the
Guffey bill.
At the opening of these confer,
ences, Lewis demanded a 30-hour
week and a basic daily minimum
wage of $3.50 for the miners, but
the demands were rejected.
Lewis told the subcommittee
today the present "demoralized''
state of the operators had made
it more difficult to reach a SET
tlement on the wage question and
minimized the chances of nego-
tiating new contracts before the
existing agreements expire at mid
night on March 81.
Criticising some objections to
the Guffey measure, he said the
coal industry heretofore had been
dominated by fear of large rail
roads, utility and industrial buy
ers.
Since adoption of the bitumi-
nous coal code, he said, a differ
ent attitude has been adopted by
the operators. Now they want
to be free of this fear, he as
serted, and to "hold up their
heads" in the business world.
William Green, president Of the
American Federation of Labor,
testified the federation was in
thorough accord" with the Guf-
fey bill and was standing fairly
and squarely'' behind the United
Mine Workers

SK|D[ESS CRASH
BR|NGSPROBE

BALTIMORE, March 6. Q.N.SO
Absence of skid marks caused
police today to investigate the
motor accident and stabbing of
Henry Hemmerling, 20. of Warren
Point, N. j., who, with his bride
whom he married at Monroe, N.
Y, Monday, was en- route to
Washington on a honeymoon trip.
Their automobile crashed
through a guard rail near Hale
thorpe and fell eight feet to the
railroad track below. The couple
got out of the car apparently
unhurt, and went to the home
of Isaac Stewart to telephone
police.
Then, the police stated, Mr..
Hemmerling picked up an ice
pick in the home, went to thu
garage in the rear and stabbed
himself. The pick missed the
heart by an inch and his con-
dition is serious.
Mrs. Hemmerling denied she
and her husband were quarreling
just before the accident and
claimed the automobile got out
of her husbands control. Police
said if her story is true marks
would have been made on the
road if the brakes had been ap'
piled to prevent the car from
running off the bridge.
The wife is staying at her hus'
bands bedside.
