SINGLE COPY 5 CENTS iASTONK DA ZETTE HOPE OF AVERTING NATION WIDE COAL STRIKE ABANDONED BY MINE WORKERS OFFICIALS a Operators Continue to ers to Negotiate With Interstate Wage Agreement. (By Tlie Associated Press.) INDIANAPOLIS, Iml.. March In. ! Hope of a nation-wide coal strike being, averted by the government's poal f or j the 0KTatorn ami miners meeting in a : wage conference seemed to have vanish- j I'd today among officials of the United ; Mine Workers of America on account of . continued refuted of some operators to j meet with the miners to negotiate an in terstate wake agreement. Union officials, however, refrained I from any announcement on their future plans, but it was indicated that the ol- icy fommittee. might be called into sos- ; ttion before April 1 to deal with all ipies- j tions relating to the prospective strike. ! The personnel of the committee ii virt-' tially completed by various union dis triets. authorizing their officer to be come members of the committee. Jn ad- ( ditiou the committee includes the inter national officials and the members of j the executive board, which now is in ses sion here. The union officials uno opt iniix; ic , that jiublic. opinion would bo with them! in the cont rover ..v with lie mine owners! and were hopeful that operators' refus al of the government appeal would h accepted as a defiant attitude on tin art df the operators. The insurgent movement of Illinois; miners officials, is not yet vo wel with alarm by the union officials' here for they continued to make positive assertion 1 lint lio single state wage agreement woidd be made by any distent. Yet it was e , jiected that when the po'.i. y committee is called into session l!m! 'his iptcsfiou vill be brought up for early decision, j A. Frank Farringtoii, tee i ; ii imis presi- dent, and eight other Illinois mm are members of the commit! , and his smto nients favoring the single -late proposal vere regarded as forecasting a fight in , the committee. President Lewis audi other administration forces, opposing the single state- agreement, however, were, confident they had a majority within the committee. PROMINENT ALBANY MAN DIES IN AUTOMOBILE.
