DIAMOND TIARAS SLIP Bu United Preaa LONDON, March 25. —Diamond Tiaras, for centuries the favorite headdress of British aristocracy, have been cast into the discard with the wide-spread adoption of the shingle and the Eaton crop. A tiara, it develops, cannot be made to look well on a shingled head. It won’t “stay put.” It looks topheavy. This ,at any rate, is the verdict of the women of the nobility in England and their; verdict seems to have been borne out noticeably at the ceremonies incident to the opening of Parliament, where very fev tiaras were to be seen. OLD COIN FOUND Bu United Preaa CARLISLE, England—A Roman coin, bearing the figure of Nero on one side and that of Jupiter on the other, was unearthed during excavations on the old Roman road near here recently. A terra-cotta tile, stamped with the title of the Ninth Roman Legion, was also found at the time.

BUSY WEEK LIES AHEAD OF CITY’S BOY SCOUTS Lads Will Make Good Use of Spring Vacation Period —Full Week of Activity Is Announced.

Boy Scouts of Indianapolis, liberated from the schoolroom by spring vacation, will have a week crammed full of Scouting activities, starting with a mass meeting Sunday afternoon at Roberts Park Church and ending with the awarding ~of prizes at an exposition in Tomlinson Hall April 2. Gifford Gordon, an Australian, will deliver his lecture, ‘fin the Land of the Kangaroo,” at the Sunday afternoon meeting.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CRISIS NEARS ON WAGE DISPUTE IN SOFT COAL MINES No Agreement on Demands With Threatened Tie-up One Week Distant. With only one week remaining before expiration of existing wage agreements, the bituminous coal industry of the United States today was face to face with its most serious crisis since the general strike of 1922. Miners and operators with equally firm determination stood solidly behind their conflicting demands on the wage issue as the clouds of another desperate industrial contiect 'were settling down upon the soft coal fields. Through the international offices, members ot the United Mine Workers are insisting upon a continuation of the basic pay of $7.50 a day for soft coal miners, set by the expiring Jacksonville agreement. The operators demand a reduction in the union wage scale, to place the union mines on a basis of wage competition with non-union mines, whose cheaper coal has been steadily encroaching on the normal markets of the union territory. Confer Monday A final union council of war on the wage controversy will start at headquarters of the United Mine Workers here Monday when the policy committee meets with John L. Lewis, president, and other international officers. From the conference will come a decision on whether a strike call will be issued for April 1 or further attempts made to negotiate with the operators. After a breakup of the joint wage conference with operators at Miami in February, Lewis was hopeful that a renewed peace parley with the operators would prevent a shutdown of bituminous mines on April 1. May Limit Scope Although steps toward separate negotiations have been undertaken in several of the bituminous districts, no open move has been made for a resumption of the general wage conference with operators. If separate wage agreements are effected in any of the districts before March 31, it is anticipated the agreements will be ratified and the scope of the threatened strike limited. For the first time in the history of the bituminous industry, negotiation of .separate district contracts was authorized by the United Mine Workers convention, which met here in February. Heretofore operators and miners of the central competitive fields of western Pensylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois negotiated Ia group

contract for that territory and this agreement served as the basis for negotiating contracts for the outlying districts. • No Reduction The miners’ convention, however, stipulated that any separate agreements made by the various districts in event of failure of a general contract should be made only on the basis of no reduction in wage. Members of the Indiana district of the United Mine Workers voted to seek negotiation of a separate contract with Indiana operators but the operators assembling last night at Terre Haute reaffirmed their stand at the Miami conference for a wage reduction and took no step toward meeting the miners.
