HO’BURLED AT LABOR’S PEACE PLEA Call Off Strike, Then We Will Resume Parley, Says Baldwin. LONDON FEARS BATTLE Communists Gather orders Spreading. Bu United Press LONDON, May s.—Premier Baldwin today spurned peace overtures made by the Labbritco, announcing the government would resume negotiations when the general strike officially is called off. “No government, under any circumstances can ever yield to a general strike,” Baldwin said. Baldwin's statement indicates the government’s intention to smash the strike with the force at its command if the labor leaders persist in l<eeping the general strike order effective. Baldwin made his announcement after Arthur Henderson, home secretary under the labor government, pleaded in the House of Commons for resumirtion of negotiations. "Won't you think it over now?” Henderson asked. “The position of the country in a few days may baffle the imagination unless something is done speedily. Even now there is trouble. The Commons ought to bend every effort to restore the negotiatory situation to a position where It was at 1 a. m. Monday when negotiations were off in Downing Street, and see whether it cannot try to settle the question by reason, not by force.” Appeal to King One other hope remained. A strong faction of the clergy planned to appeal to King George to intervene, pleading he is the only individual capable of finding common ground. V battle between communists and the police is imminent, Sir William Joynson-Hioks, home secretary, told the Commons. He said several thousand communists and others are organizing a massed parade through central I,ondon and that they would undoubtedly lie met by police and, if necessary, by soldiers. The reported parade was the first major menace to peace. Disorders Spread Disorders throughout England, however, were spreading. At Leeds, strikers attacked strikebreaking street cars, hurling coal t hrough the windows. .Several passengers were hurt. At Stoke-on-Trent, 7,000 strikes unsuccessfully sought to halt bus service, operating under pollt-e guard. Police dispersed them with their clubs, arresting five. * A der royer and a submarine arrived a’ South Shields, where onethird of the population is idle. South Shields is an important shipping point for coal and coke and is a ship building center. Crowds were thickening hourly around the gates of the East India docks and troops in Canning Town, (Turn to Page 3) HOUSE, SENATE TO ADJOURN JUNE 1 English Trial Will Go Over Until November.

GONVFNTION, WILL NAME CANDIDATE Democrats Fail to Choose Long-Term Senatorial Nominee. WATSON, ROBINSON WIN G. 0. P. Incumbents Roll Up Large Totals. With Senators Watson and Robinson renominated by Indiana Republicans, interest centered today on the Democratic battle for the long-term renatorial nomination, which goes to the State convention through the failure of any of the six candidates to secure a majority of votes in Tuesday’s primary election. Additional returns at noon today pushed Albert Stump, Indianapolis attorney, into the lead, with William A. Cullop of Vincennes and John Frederick of Kokomo close on his heels. The candidate receiving a plurality will go Into the convention a strong favorite. Stump Ahead Returns from 1,658 precincts out of 3,551 in the State gave: Stump. 22,061; Cullop. 21,156; Frederick, 20,992; L. Ert Slack, 18,123; George Rauch, 11.289, and William Curry, 10,986.

Robinson Carries County Senator Robinson, whose campaign for the Republican short-term nomination was a partnership with Watson's fight for the long-term nomination, carried every precinct in the county. Rob'nson did not speak in Kokomo during the campaign. The humor of the unusual quirk even appealed to Charles Watson, the Senator’s brother.
