Relief Problem Seri Gus
From Two Angles As
Work Halls
ONLY DESTITUTION
WILL BRING HELP

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a. (UP)
Expressing impotence at delay in
the coal conference reaching
strike agreement, John l.. Lewis,
president of the United Mine
Workers today declared his men
had made their last concession on
wage terms and that he would in
sist on conclusion of the negotia-
tions. "Our last word is nine cents
ton. They can take it or leave
it," he declared.
Angry words flew across the
conference table during the soft
coal strike negotiations today as
federal officials turned with some
apprehension to the problem of
feeding needy miners and their
families.
Despite the acrimony Of the
wage negotiations. those close to
the situation had not abandoned
hope that protracted strike of
the 100000 miners who left their
jobs yesterday could be avoided.
The relief problem was a seri-
Gus one, not only from the stand
point of financing but from the
standpoint of policy.
During the preliminaries to the
cotton textile strike a year ago,
much criticism was voiced of an
announced intention to furnish
federal aid to strikers. 1t was ar
gued that such a course would
throw the support of the United
States government on the side Of
strikers and against employers.
To meet that criticism, it was
decided that relief would not be
afforded until it. had become ap-
parent that restitution was at
hand. A similar policy was expect
ed in the present situation, where
already some protest has been
heard against any action which
would place the government IN
the position of furnishing sinewS
of war to strikers.
Edward F. McGrady, slender,
aggressive assistant secretary OF
labor, who is representing the
White House in the coal negotla-
tions, advised Relief Administra-
tor Harry l.. Hopkins to be pre-
pared for calls for aid from the
mining districts.
The miners are asking nine
cent increase; the operators are
willing to grant 7 IL instead OF
the six cents they originally pro-
posed.
McGrady persuaded both oper-
ators and union leaders that the
public would not understand why
the two and one-half million wo-
men sond children of miners fam
lilies should be made to suffer
over a difference of three cents.

 Up, Surrender
NO INJURIES TO
 MEN OR OFFICERS
Smoke Used to Break Nut iny in Inky Darkness
 of Coal Mine

LANSING, Kansas, June l9.-A score of officers and guards, led by Warden Simpson, subdued 348 riot ing convicts in the inky darkness of the prison coal mine and ended the destructive 2l-hour mutiny early to- day.
 Only half a dozen guards re- mained below to check the damage wrought in the convict's rage of the day and night long mutiny.
 The end was accomplished with out injury to either guards or con- victs.
 No Concessions
 Prison officials announced they have made no concessions to the three demands of the rioters.
 The convicts demanded better prepared food, discharge of the prison doctor and immunity for their action.
 Use Smoke in Fight
 Guards and officers used smoke from the fire started by the con- victs themselves as the chief weap- on of attack The fire was started in the mule barns and was fed by hay and timbers, in an effort to drive the armed guards away from the gun cage near the base of the airshaft, which would have given them control of the sub-surface. Officers reversed the ventilator fans and turned the smoke upon the rioters and sent them into the four miles of corridors, and they gave. up.
 Attackers Enter Mine
 Protected by gasrnasks and bear ing flares and electric torches fast ened to their clothing, members oi the attacking party descended inte the mine without incident.
 They found their path blocked by the heavy double doors which sep arated the airshaft from the main mine shaft. This delayed surrend- CT and took long time to get open.
 Hands In Air
 As the double doors were battered down the officers saw group oi convicts walking toward them with their hands in the air. Others fol lowed and the mutiny was over.
 The convicts were thoroughly subdued.
 Half a dozen mine guards wht were held as hostages, are again 1T charge as evacuation began.

 The ringleaders will be investi. gated and punished, the authoritie' announced.
 All through the night. officer! armed with rifles and machine gun. formed cordon about the tipple The weapons were trained on tht airshaft to prevent any possible at. tack.
