INDIANA MINE STRIKE NEAR; PARLEY FAILS Scale Committees Are Far From Agreement on Wage Slash. (Continued From Page 1) make no comment on the wage scale controversy. Strike Ordered in Ohio By United Press COLUMBUS, 0., March 31. A general strike order, effective Friday, went out from district headquarters of the United Mine Workers of America today to 13,000 coal miners in the already turbulent Ohio and West Virginia Panhandle fields, unprotected by union contracts. Already 12,000 miners are on strike in (he Hocking valley and other Ohio areas, in protest against wage reductions. District President Lee Hall said the strike order was issued after mine operators had refused to attend a scheduled conference today to discuss anew wage agreement for the district. Operators have threatened to close their workings unless their men remain on the job They contend they can not compete with southern fields, where strikes are not a factor in production. Observers for the Ohio national guard have been sent into the troubled zones to watch for signs of impending outbreaks. Adjutant General Frank Henderson said conditions were generally tranquil. Illinois Mines May Suspend By United Brest CHICAGO, March 31.—A thirtyday suspension of work in Illinois coal fields was expected by mine and union officials to become operative at midnight tonight, with expiration of the existing contract between operators and emplpyes. The expected shutdown was described as neither a lockout nor a strike, by operators and union men. They said the period was necessary to complete negotiation of anew working agreement. A committee representing the Illinois district of the United Mine Workers and the Illinois Coal Operators’ Association may report today on anew wage scale. However, there is no possibility that the scale ran be made effective before expiration of the old agreement. Union leaders have agreed that any mine wishing to opcarte tentatively under the existing scale may do so. The principal conflict between operators and workers centers about a requested wage reduction. Illinois mine owner's contend they can not compete effectively with other coal fields under the present wage policy.

COUNTY PUNS SUITS “ ” $127,000 in Realty Loans to Be Sought. Suits seeking to collect $127,000 in county common school funds, lost when a real estate promotion i crashed, will be filed against mortgage signers, Charles A. Grossart, i county auditor, announced today. Failure to sell the vacant, unim- J proved lots on which school funds were loaned resulted in the plan; to start the court fight, Grossart; said. Unless the county can recoup, taxpayers will be forced to carry the added burden. Ira Haymaker, county recorder, probably will be among defendants in the action. Others will include Wesley Ryan, Indianapolis contractor, and nineteen persons who are alleged to have permitted use of their names in obtaining the I loans for Ryan, although they did not own property in a real estate J addition, lots of which were col- j lateral for the loans.

‘Feed Me, Feed My Dog, ’ Edict of Noted Diva

Rosa Ponselle

By United Press NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 31. —Rosa Ponselle, in New Haven for a concert, gave an exhibition of artistic temperament which had this town agog today. Because the management of New Haven’s leading hotel refused to permit Whiskers, her Irish terrier, to dine with her in the main dining room, Miss Ponselle flounced out, after delivering a lecture based upon her opinion of hotels and hotel managers who objected to dogs at the table. The famous diva went from the hotel to Casey’s lunchroom across the street, where, there being no rules against dogs, she and Whiskers were permitted to dine together.
