 They will be together in Referee A. k. Shaw's hearing room to-day. Rumors of coolness between Mooney and Billings were swept aside when they embraced and Mooney wept in the reception room of the county jail. They pledged themselves again to stick together to the end and recalled their com mon comradeship in the cause of the working man.

 The dispatches and reports seem ed to confirm the Italian state- ment that the door was open to all possibilities and that some possi- bility of great importance was about to be disclosde.
 Particular significance was pos- sible in the coincident discourage ment of Premier Laval of France and the dispatch from Geneva of rumors about Mussolinfs position. There was no means of deducing the reason for the coincidence, but whatever pressure was being ap- piled by diplomatists in the crisis seemed pointed toward Rome.

"KIDNAP SCARE
 WASONLY A JOKE

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 25.- (U2).-A "kidnap" scare which at- tended a Yale Daily News report that yellow canary, befriended by several of the Eli editors twas last seen sitting in the rumble seat of an automobile headed for Cam bridge" simmered down today to a practical joke on Harvard"
 "This time Harvard is innocent" said Dick Moore, managing editor of the News, recalling the furore which followed the "dognaping" a year ago last spring of handsome Dan II, prize English bull, which resulted in series of raids on both colleges.
 According to Moore the canary, "a yellow and intelligent bird." took refuge in the News office after escaping it's cage. It stayed around the office one day and then flew out the window. That was the last seen of the wandering pet, Moore said.

PICKETINC IS NOW
 FEARED IN STRIKE
Soft Coal Miners Threat- en-Walk- Out Order-
 ly to Date

Washington, Sept. 25 (UP)- Threat of militant picketing by striking miners was injected into the soft-coal negotiations today as union leaders sought to break the uprolonged deadlock over the pro- posed wage contract.
 The walkout of 100000 miners, now in it's third day, thus for has been orderly.
 AS conferences dragged on, in- dications weer that an agreement that would send the miners back to work was near. It was learned that contract forms were being drawn up yesterday.
 The threat of ative picketing was voiced by John l.. Lewis, United Mine Workers president who ac- cused the operators of thumb twiddling."
 Lewis slashed out with an ulti- matum, declaring the operators could take 1t or leave it."
 A subcommittee of four - two operators and two miners repre- sentatives-continued debate.
 The contracts which were being drawn up were complete except for the tonnage rates now under dis pute. he operators have said they would grant a 1-2 cent per ton increase. The miners, who orig inally asked for 15-cent increase, are setnding pat for 9 cents.
 The operators are in no parti- cular hurray to sign an agreement. even though they may have decid- ed to dispose of surplus coal, as well as demonstrating tenacity in holding out for their own pro- posals.
 Should the mine workers decide on an aggressive strike, they would concentrate in Alabama, West Vir- ginia, Kentucky and Illinois, trouble spots in former strikes and the scenes of blood spilling in more than one industrial dispute.

BY CLIFFORD l.. DAY

 fUnited Press Stan COrrespOndent) fCopyright 1885 by United Press)
 London, Sept. 25.-(UP)-Re- ports over an area spreading from Singapore to London indicated to- day that a major development was Imminent in the Italian Ethiopian crisis.
 There was talk of '1essened ten- nione between Italy and Great Bri- tain and hints from London, Rome and Geneva of secret British Trench-Italian negotiations.
 But there also were reports, some factual, some rumors, which showed that much more than ne- gofiation was afoot.
 From the diplomatic angle, the situation as outlined in unimpeach- able quarters Is:
 London-Tension lessened with Italy but government will pursue its policy of asking strict adher- ence to the League of Nations covenant.
 Rome-Door is left open to all Possibilities; public feels there has been degree of relaxation in con- trast to last weeks nervousness. X Geneva = Premier Pierre Laval of France continues to seek a peaceful solution and has not aban- doned hope, but is deeply dis couraged by Benito Mussolini's at- titude; hence French and British leaders continue to discuss possi- bility of penalties if Italy attacks Ethiopia.
 Here are a few reports which enlarged and clarified the obscure diplomatic situation as outlined by cautious spokesmen: =
 Singapore = Prince Line steam ships will avoid the Suez Canal henceforth and will steam by way of Capetown. Silver Line decided to divert all ships to Capetown, including one actually bound for Naples. Peninsular and Oriental lines call attention of passengers to clause in regulations permitting diversion of route of steamships without notice.
 Athens British fleet arrived in Navarino harbor this morning. tThis visit was announced Sep tember 17 in Athens. It was said then that the fleet would number about 10 ships).
 Paris - Newspapers suddenly start discussion of possibility Mus solini might fall; quote British rumors in Geneva that Thigh per sonages," probably Crown Prince Humber, might be called to power in crisis.
 Rome News agency reports local Ethiopian commander under government orders infroms mer- chants in northern frontier area thot trade with Italian Eritrea is foPbidden; Italy would regard such action as tantamount to closing frontier.
 The situation at Geneva, since Italy on Saturday rejected q League of Nations peace plan, has developed as follows: 2. Baron P0mpeo Aloisi of Italy on Sunday lncde series of "observations" on De Madariaga, of Spain, chairman the Ethiopian problem to Salvador
