By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Buremu, The Associated Prc:s, Washington) ‘The important question about the Springfield Republican conference, from the viewpoint of the practical politicians, is whether it helped today consolidation of “conservative gentiment” in opposition to the re- jelection of Mr. Roosevelt. That such a consolidation is highly to be desired by the opposi- tien ecognized generally now by | anti-Roccevelt leaders. Almost with- out exccption they voiced convie- tion that the President can be de- Did ‘Grass Roots’ Session Consolidate Conservaties? | and none denies that it is a serious problem, indeed. The meeting at Springfield gave ample evidence of the desire for union which burns in the breasts of 50 many Republicans. Parts of the conference declara- tion of principles read like a de- fense of the Democratic party against its present leader. The Democratic platform of 1932 was quoted from liberally, in a scarce- ly c¢oncealed effort to show that Mr. Roosevelt had bolted his party organization.

MINE STRIKE 1S BELIEVE AVERTED NOW Workers and Soft Coal Op- erators Working Hard for Agreement BULLETIN — Washington, June 29.—Late this afternoon it ‘wae stated that only Presiden- tial intervention can stop the soft_cecal strike Monday, as ne- gotiations on a new wage, hours and contracts, collapsed. The Joint session recessed subject to the call of the chairmen, WASHINGTON, June 29— The spokesmen for the United Mine ‘Workers and soft coal mine opera- tors of the Appalachian district re- ported this afternoon as making progress in efforts to work out a new wage, hour and contract system to avert the threatened walkout | American principles, can be induced to vote tcgether for one opposing candidate. Whether that estimate of the 'cituation is correct or mot, it is the actuating factor behind the present maneuverings in the opposition camps. The thought of the leaders is that a preponderance of public sen- timent hardly can be mustered to the Ioft of Mr. Rcosevelt, and that to oppese him with a middle-ground ate, lcoking both to left and to right, would be suicidal. They see their hope on the right, Their problem is to find a means jof attracting ‘“conservative” Re- publicans and “conservative” Demo- crats to a smgle oposi[ion ticket; The flirtation even reached a stage where one or two speakers! openly invited dissatisfied Demo- crats to come over, and hinted that substantial rewards—such as second place on the ticket—might be ex-! pected ©On one point, however, there was not the slightest sign of a conces- on. There was to be no thought of abandoning the Republican label, which most of the dissenting Dem- ocrats detest so heartily. On the contrary, the G. O. P. was to be given a re-birth, and reestablished in greater grandeur and glory than ever. That is precisely the point at ‘Continued o Pugs Twor 'EXPLORER 1S COMING HERE ENROUTE WEST Dr. Stephen Jarosz, Back- | ed by Cracow Univer- sity, Announces Plans CHICAGO, June 29.—Dr. Steph- en Jarosz, Polish explorer, has mnde a final check on his survey, expedition to Kosiusko Island in {the Aleutian chain, where he plans to spend three months engaged in | special cartographical, geological | and botanical study of the remote lrpot He reported that he would ‘lzave Tuesday for Wlnmpeg, where he will scale nearby Mt.

Let the mine officials know you |understand the issue.” Nygren introduced Mr. Metzgar and said he would explain any- |thing regarding the eight points that was not clear to the men. Metzgar said the first two points did not need explanation. On othér points he had found that even the trustees were not quite clear re- garding the A. J. stand.
