MEN REFUSE TO OBEY Result Is That Conditions Are Not Much Improved Unions Will Not Give Up Rights. E nniTMM DT (Associated Tress Leased Wire.) LONDON, May 13. Great Brl tain's nine-day general strike call ed off (yesterday, switched today to what labor regarded as a wide spread lockout by the employers against union men seeking to re turn to work on the old status. This development came as one of the most dramatic of all those In the disturbed days since the in dustrial upheaval began. What it amounted to, according to labor men, was a disposition on the part of the employers to smash union influences as far as possible. Throughqut the country unions and employers were deadlocked the unions demanding unqualified reinstatement of the strikers and the employers declining to deal with yiem except on their own terms. These in some cases called for tearing up union cards, and there was even a refusal in certain instances to re-employ thei strikers st all. Miners Not Weakened. "Tho Trades Union Congress made a fatal mistake In calling off the general strike," Secretary A. 'f J. Ceoli of the miners' federation, told tho Associated Press today. "We knew nothing about their reasons. There was no weakening of the men. We have seen hun dreds of telegrams from all parts nf tho country to the effect thnt the men refuse to resume work." "The meeting of delegates will not be held." Cook sain, "because there are no trains to bring them from the country districts." LONDON. May 13. The Trades Unions have no alternative but to resist to the utmost "any attempt lo impose humiliating terms on the workers." A statement to this effert was issued by the Trades Union Congress today after a special meeting called to cousider the failure of employers to re-engage workers throughout the coun try. "Our resisting power is unim paired." the statement continued. "We cannot tolerate the imposi tion of conditions designed to de stroy trade unionism. Peace with out vindication is Impossible un less the attacks are ended immedi ately. The workers will not sur render their hard earned gains." Miners Menace Traffic. nONCASTElt, England. May 13. Settlement of the general strike has had an aftermath in the near by coal fields, where mobs of miners held up road traffic and were dispersed only when the po lice charged and arrested 80 men. A procession of women marching on Doncaster was dispersed by a strong force of mounted police be fore they reached the city. Strike Far From Over. LONDON. May 13. Great Tlrl l.'iln's general strike theoretically Is over, hut practically is still con ''lulng to function this morning i.iore or less as it had for the last nine days. Throughout the country there Is a disposition thus far on the part nf many unions to stand out. There are various reason for this. Among them are the men's desire In some instances to take advantage of the strike to exact better terms of em ployment: sympathy with the min ers, who nre still-on strike: refusal nf some employers to discharge .volunteer workers to make room tor the old employes and the edict issued by other employers that they will not take back the work ers until they have torn up their union cards. This situation Is possible because the Trades Union Congress, in calling off the general strike, issued orders that the men were not to return to work pending Instructions from their individual unions. Little Improvement Seen. Comments were heard today that it was far easier to start a general strike than to halt one. There was some Improvement In conditions this morning, traffic accomoda tions being a little better, but the citizen who retired last njeht with tiie thought Oiat his trou&es were ended were amazed upon awaken ing to find he still had to walk to work and endure other Inconven iences.

Wherever the aviators went the crowds attempted to kiss them and carried them upon their shoulders. They entered tho Catholic Cathe dral upon the shoulders of the procession, a number of Spanish priests assisting In the welcome. The crowd was so dense In the cathedral, one girl died of the heat. The aviators have received the congratulations of King Alfonso of Spain. The Philippine government placed on sale a new postage statnp bearing the picture of Captain Gal lnrza and the plane. Whether the aviators will at tempt to fly back to Spain or re turn by steamer depends upon or ders from Madrid.

GRIEVANCE MYSTERY Many Reported Killed in Street Battle News Censorship Blocks Information. . (Aiioclated Tress Leased Wire.) PARIS, 'May 13. The veil of mystery hung over the situation In Poland' this morning. ' Behind It momentous events were believed to be in progress, centering about the famous figure of former President Marshal Pilsudski, who Is at the head of a revolt which has made it necessary for the government to take precautionary measures to de fend the city of Warsaw. Berlin reports that many persons have been killed or wounded in street fighting In Warsnw. Advices from the Polish capital say that machine guns have been placed on top of government build ings and that troops loyal to the government are guarding the brid ges aud lines of communication. News Hard to Obtain. Whether Marshal Pilsudski is leadin the revolt to install himself as dictator or is merely injecting a military operation into the politi cal situation to bring the left par ties back into office is not yet clear. Beyond a statement sent out by the official Polish agency, which claims that the government is master of the situation, no direct news has been received from War saw, either owing to the usual habit in Poland of putting on a censorship when grave events are in progress or because one or the other of the contending parties has cut the wires aud put the radio out of commission. Rebels Enter Warsaw. The Havas Agency quotes a dls- ! patch received by the Ceteka 'Agency In Prague yesterday, to the effect that Pilsudski s armed forces were allowed to enter Warsaw without opposition. When the news of the movement reached the government the cabi net was called into session under the chairmanship of President Wo iciechowskl, and decided upon mea sures to spare the city from civil I warfare. Consequently government troops were withdrawn from the bridge uniting the suburb of Praga to Warsaw proper, and the Pilsudski troops entered the city last evening without fighting. The cabinet met again during the" evening, but its decisions are unknown as communications were cut. Situation Puzzling. LONDON, May 13. The last authentic news of the Polish mili tary revolt received in London de clared that President Wojceichow ski, with the idea of preserving peace, had offered to relinquish the presidency in favor of Marshal Jo seph Pilsudski, head of the disaf fected troops. Pilsudski Is said to have refused, after tho offer had been consider ed by his followers, including the leftiests, or radicals. The present situation in Die Polish capital Is not clear and the legation here has received no word since the first reports that a military revolt had broken out. Another report reaching usually well Informed Polish circles In London, states that Marshal Pil sudski has been appointed to some position, possibly premier, in place of M. Wilos. The same circles any the political crisis appears to have been solved by this appointment. THYE AND ECKLUND EACH TAKE FALL IN DRAW BATTLE (Awtoclatfd I'nn Leaum Wire.) PORTLAND. Ore.. May 13.

PEPPERMINT GROWERS ASSURED OF HIGHER PRICES THIS YEAR (Associated Press Leased Wire.) EUGENE. Ore.. May 13. There has been a big Increase in the to tal. acreage of peppermint on the Pacific coast and growers are as sured of a much better price this year than formerly. This is the' view of A. L. Todd, president and general manager of the A. M. Todd company of Kalamazoo, Mich., who is here on a trip over the pacific coast. A. M. Todd, proprietor of the Michigan Peppermint Oil plant, Is a brother of O. H. Todd of this city who has been interested in the purchasing of peppermint oil in this vicinity for some time. Ninety per cent of the pepper mint oil produced in the United tates comes from southern Michi gan and northern Indiana, within a radius of about 150 mllcg of Kala mazoo, Mr. Todd states. Most of the peppermint produced is for the oil as there is but little demand for peppermint herbs. Advetse weather conditions in the east have retarded the peppermint crop lo some extent and growers on the coast will have a good price as a result, Mr. Todd said. POULTRYMAN MURDEFls WIFE, .
