Coal Pact Remote
As y. N. W. Rejects
Operators Plan
Employers Refusal to
Gront Closed Shop
DeodIoeks PorIey
~ the Associated Press.

~ the ASSOCldteu fIeSS.
NEW YORK, April 5-Agreement
on a new contract to end the Ap-
palachian soft coal industry shut
down appeared farther away than
ever today after fiat rejection by
the United Mine Workers of a COM
promise offer by coal operators.
Both C. I. o. President John L.
Lewis and Charles O'Neill, spokes-
man for the operators. admitted
negotiations were "hopelessly dead
locked" but a subcommittee of four
miners and four operators agreed to
confer again today.
More than 100000 miners in eight
Southern and Eastern States have
been idle since March 81 pending
tract, basic for the Nations btu
minous industry.
Penalty Clauses the Issue.
In the compromise offer turned
down by Mr.. Lewis, the operators
agreed to recognize the United Mine
Workers Union as the exclusive col
lective bargaining agency but re-
fused to grant closed shop.
The union has demanded either a
closed shop or elimination of the
present penalty clause under whicn
the U. M. w. is fined 81 to 81 a day
for each man involved in any strike
violating contract terms
There is just one question before
this conference" Lewis said, land
that is whether the penalty clauses
will be eliminated. The closed shop
has no bearing on that proposition"
Although the penalty clauses also
provide equivalent fines for opera
tors guilty of lockouts or stoppages
IN violation OF contract agreements,
Mr.. Lewis said that in practice they
had proved only weapon agains.
the miners.
Shortage Not Imminent.
Mr.. O'Neill charged that Mr.. Lewis.
In seeking to drop the penalty
clauses, was asking the operators
Ito agree tc condition of open war
fare at their properties between the
United Mine Workers and other
unions or non-members of any
union for the express and single
purpose of compelling the closed
shop to be accepted by all employees
IN and around the mines by force
Mr.. O'Neill said that in making
the compromise offer the operators
had gone the limit in their effort
to meet Mr.. Lewis demands and
reopen the mines"
Although reports of a dwindling
fuel supply among some consumers
continued to reach the conference.
coal experts in Washington said a
serious shortage was not imminent.

Countess Revent!ow
May Try 10 Regain
U. 5. Citizenship
Returns From Europe
To Show Child to
Grandfather

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 15.-Countess
Haugwitz. Reventlow, the former
Barbara Hutton, says she is sorry
she gave up her American citizen
ship-and may try to regain it.
The sole reason, however, for her
return to the. United States last
night on the Aquitania, she said,
was to show my child to his grand
father" Franklyn L. Hutton.
Her son Lance, 3, still was sea sick
from rough voyage.
The slim 5-and-10 cent store
heiress, who departed a year ago
with golden hair, came back plati-
mum blond. She wore black satin
cocktail gown, diamond earrings and
her open-front shoes revealed two
crimson painted toe nails.
The countess seemed on the verge
OF tears as she denied reports she
had surrendered custody of her son
by court agreement. 90
II don't think any woman would
give up her child for anything in
the world, and am not going to-"
she said.
She explained a London court
order allowed her custody of Lance
for nine months of the year until
he is 6. Then she and the count,
the Danish husband from whom she
Is estranged, will share him equally.
Questioned about the possibility OF
regaining her American citizenship,
she did not deny she might and she
said Il might return here to live
some day"
Asked if she regretted her loss of
citizenship, she replied: II most
certainly do"
The countess said she would re-
main in New York a week and then
take Lance to Palm Beach, Fla,
where Mr.. Hutton is staying. She
said she did not meet her fellow
passenger, Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh, during the six-day voyage
here.
