C—14 MORE MINERS JOIN WELSH COAL FIGHT 1,500 Add to Tense Situa- tion in Pits—Many Barred From Going Down. By the Associated Press. CARDIFF, Wales, October 18.—The ‘whole Tredegar Valley of South Wales was tense with excitement today in the wake of a decision of 1,500 miners to throw their lot with strikers at the Nine-Mile Point coal pits. Seventy-nine miners have been at the bottom of the coal workings for six days, refusing to come to the sur- face until they have written assur- ance from the owners not to employ imported labor. At Treharris miners presented themselves last night for the night shift, but the management said it must refuse admittance as it had dis- covered the men intended to remain at the pit bottom, idle, if lowered into the workings. Nearly 1,000 miners marched from Newport to Newbridge to prevent men from going down into the North and South Crumlin pits. Extra police were rushed to the district, but the atmosphere of ten- sion was allayed when marchers per- suaded their comrades to join the strike instead of starting work. When a crowd near Nelson hurled & volley of stones at a train carrying men from the Merthyr Colliery, a police officer was struck and injured. The “stay-down” strike continued despite & recommendation of the South Wales Miners’ Federation that the participants call off the walkout, but the ranks of the strikers below ground were depleted when hundreds Teturned to the surface. No decision was reached in London, meanwhile, by a conference of the Mine Workers' Federation of Great Britain on the question of an increase of 2 shillings a day in miners’ pay. The conference adjourned yesterday. FINANCIAL ADVICE - OFFERED SCHOOLS American Council on Education Plans to Give Aid in Problems. By the Associated Press. Dr. George F. Zook, president of the American Council on Education, has announced establishment of a financial advisory service to assist colleges and school systems on finan- cial problems. It will be under super- vision of Dr. Lloyd Morey, controller of sthe University of Illinois. “The depression augmented the usual difficulties and problems of financing educational institutions,” Dr. Zook said. “Incomes from all | sources—both public and private— were greatly reduced while the cost | of operating and maintaining the in- | stitutions increased. During the early years of the depression student enroll- | ment decreased, thus reducing income | still more, and, although enrollments have increased recently, the number of students unable to pay the usual fees and asking for financial aid has increased also. These conditions have caused many institutions to resort to unusual and undesirable measures in order to carry on at all. - “This advisory service will assist institutions throughout the country with such problems as budget making, administration of endowments and student loan funds, accounting pro- cedures and systems, forms of finan- cial reports and unit cost studies.” TWO IN POLICE CASES FORFEIT COLLATERAL Coal Vendor Alleged to Have Vio- lated Trucking Rule—Restau- rant Man Recorded. ‘Two alleged violators of the weights and measures and health ordinances ‘were permitted to forfeit collateral tn Police Court yesterday.
