April i ) London, 11.—British mine conferred for an hour at the board of trade this morning on a possible set- tlement of the controversy which led to the miners walkout last week. The conference adjourned at noon until 4 o'clock this afternoon. Robert S. Horne, chancellor of the exchequer, presided. Estimates of the cost of the miners dispute to the country including loss of unmined coal, unpaid wages, de- creased railway traffic and the cost of emergency measures place the bill which the country is paying because of the ‘strike at nearly 16,000,000 pounds per week. Situation Improved. Leaders of the “triple alliance” of labor today viewed the situation as being considerably improved. The chief problem is to reconcile the de- mand of the mine owners for district settlements involving drastic cuts in localities where expenses exceed rev- enues and the miners’ demand for a national wage system and a ‘national profits pool to keep wages level in aill districts. Information has the government, says the London Times, that everywhere but in Fife- shire the miners are observing in- structions from their officials not to interfere with safety measures and pumping which have already been be- £un in south Wales and elsewhere. Premier's Suggestion. Premier Lloyd George suggested at the morning conference that the own- ers give a full presentation of their case, stating why they consider wage reductions justificd, after which the | miners’ counter claims should be tully | presented. He proposed that the | miners then delegate six representa- tives. to meet six representatives of ' the mine owners with or without gov- ernment representatives present ‘‘to begin the examination of possibilities, and report to their respective con- stituencies.” \ Mr. Lloyd George told the miners and the owners: “We have definitely concluded that we could not recom- mend to parliament that we continue paying profits' to the owners from the general hxoa of the country.” (Oonthnnl on !levonth P.go) PLUMBERS AND STEAMFITTERS QUIT IN NEW HAVEN; MASONS IN STAMFORD O’CALLAGHAN MUST LEAVE BY JUNE 5 Secretary Davis Issues Order Permitting His Deportation If He Does Not Go Willingly. ‘Washington, April 11.—Under orders In ad-, isxsued today by Secretary Davis, Donal J.

Last Named City— Building Trades Will Re- sist Proposed Wage Cuts. New Haven, April 11.—Plumbers and steamfitters to the number of 178 did not go to work on building oper- ations today thereby adhering to what the union terms a “lockout” be- cause the contractors want to reduce wages from §$1 to 80 cents an hour. Fifty tinners who are in fthe sheet metal workers union also stayed out. The numbers mentioned were deter- mined at labor union headquarters where the rolls were called and men answered. May Strike Friday. Determination of organized labor in the building trades here to resist a cut in wages is expected to come on Friday of this week when, if the con- tractors have not offered the year's wage and time schedules for signing at the prevailing rate of wages, all members of the unions affiliated with the building trades alliance will be called on to stop. Painters and car- penters have been stopping work as individual agreements have expired. Stamford Also Affected. Stamford, April 11.—Many carpen- ters and masons did not go to work today, objecting to a 20 per cent cut in wages. The carpenters have been recelving $8 a day and the masons $9. The local builders association an- nounced that many union men were willing to accept the reduction but the union headquarters stated that only 30 carpenters in all stopped and that contractors in many instances are paying the full wages as heretofor It was noticeable, however, that many masons had stopped their work. WOULD ENFORCE RULING Washington, April 11.—Legislation to put “teeth” in labor department ef- forts to conciliate labor disputes was urged today by Secretary Davis. Both sides should be compelled to live up to agreements reached or decisions of arbitrators they have accepted, he said. “This is not compulsory arbitra- tion” Mr. Davis said. “I do not believe it feasible to pass laws against the right of workmen to ltflle but I bes lieve there should be arties tolabos [RAe A George Opposed to Paying Pmflts, reached ! yBe‘heved f0 Be Plam Planning Drastic " Action if Necessary PAYMENTS ARE DUE MAY 1 Unless Germans Give Reparations Falling Due, Berlin May Be Occu- pied—French Not Relying Solcly on Allled Aid.

The temper of the French cham- ber 'of deputies, observers consider, admits of no doubt that Premier Bri- and will be obliged to act or resign. France May Act Alone. It the Allies hesitate to go to the lengths desired by Premier Briand, ! France, it is declared will act alone possibly with the co-operation of some of the associated powers. It is understood Czecho-Slovakia is disposed to join in the application of economic penalties against Germany and even to contribute to military pressure if desired. Cabinet May Change. A change in the French government fn May, with a cabinet headed by former Premier Poincare is predict- | attack, That was on April 11, ed in well informed parliamentary cir- cles in case Premier Briand should not succeed in putting effective pres- gure upon Germany. This, jt is con- ceded, would be likely to mean the taking of an even stronger attitude by France toward Germany. “y” PRESENTED: WITH COLORED PORTRAITS ! T. Pictures of W. H. Hart and F.

HOUSE DESTROYED BY FIRE Alex Nazurian Forgets to Pull Fire Alarm Properly, Which Proves Disastrous to Him. Because he did not thoroughly un- derstand the method of/sending in a call for the fire department Alex Na- zurian was caused some discomfiture and the loss of his home on Overlook avenue early this morning. Shortly before 2:30 o'clock the Nazurian family were roused from their slum- bers by the smell from a fire in the upper part of the house. Alex im- mediately set out to the corner of ‘Commonwealth avenue and Farmingt ton avenue to Box 446 to call out the department. v He experienced no difficulty in opening the alarm box, and instead of pulling the hook he gazed at it, and then sat down. After waiting for ten minutes or so, and there appear- ing to be no signs of the firemen ar- riving, Alex hit out at a clip .that would have made Charley ' Paddock envious, for Engine Company No. 8. On arrivel at the fire house Alex told the firemen his needs for assistarice and then fell to the floor exhausted from his long and rapid run. The firemen on arrival at the scene of the blaze, found the house badly gutted, entailing a loss of several hundreds of dollars. PROTEST IN CONGRESS.
