Chile and Argentina are committed stubbornly to the prevention of foreign imports, even from each other, in their fight for economic survival, and the re- sulting retaliatory duties have killed off the freight traffic which sustained the transandine line.

By the Assoclated Press. CAD:! , April 20 —Fresh dis- turbances broke out today in the East- ern Ohio coal fields, where miners are on strike against wage reductions. A mysterious explosion shook the vil- lage of Jewett, 10 miles north of here, |about 1 am, but apparently did no damage. | | _Sixty miles to the south, in Noble County, nearly 200 strike sympathizers ew hours later attempted unsuccess- | fully to prevent 200 non-strikers from going to work at the dwell mine, | near Caldwell. The strikers were dis- persed by Sheriff Clayton McKee and six deputies with a machine gun, al- | though no shots were fired. | A group of strikers was reported e lier on the march in Guernsey County, but authorities there were unable to lo- | cate them. } | _Six shots were fired near the Tasa | mine, a short distance from Jewett, | but National Guardsmen at the shaft | reported no one was hit. They were | | unable to discover who did the shoot- ; ing. | The explosion was possibly & short distance outside the village. Its exact locality was undetermined, but a check of nearby mines showed none of | them was touched. | | The National Guard troops had anti- | | atreraft guns in position in the Cadiz | | segtor today to prevent any attempts of an airplane bombing of the mines. These weapons were set up after an unidentified plane flew low over the Somers mine, scene of recent rioting, and dropped an object near the tipple. Meanwhile State officials hastened the preparation of a plan for peaceful set- tlement of the strike. Gov. White ex- pressed belief the plan would be ac- ceptable to both miners and operators, and that the time is near when both sides will be willing “to listen to Tea- | son.” | The strike spread to another mine in the Eastern field today. Three hundred union pickets appeared at daybreak at the Warner Collieries Co. pit north of | Steubenville and succeeded in convinc- | ing 75 working miners that they should | strike.
