Ching And Lewis Slate
Parley On Coal Strike
(Continued from Page One)
for negotiations starting tomor
row in Chicago.
Lewis said that if Indiana coal
operators can not be brought in
to session, then a wage agree
ment perhaps could be negotiated
for Illionls' 40,000 miners alone.
His wire was In reponse to an
appeal by Governor Stevenson-on
Tuesday, addressed both to Lewis
and coal operators, for a resump
tion of mining to relieve widen
ing distress in Illinois.
There have been increasing
signs that Lewis would like to
achieve a settlement with some
one segment of mine operators
and use it as a lever for prying
an agreement to his liking from
the whole Industry.
Union men think that patlern
Is taking shape in the sleel strike
where CIO President Philip Mur
ray has reached a settlement of
the steelworkers' pensions dis
pute with Bethlehem, the Indus
try's No. 2 producer.
Federal Move Forecast
Pressure is growing for govern-
men action in the coal situation
if the operators and Lewis make
no progress toward an agreement.
A highly-placed government of
ficial said some government move
Is likely wllhln the next 24 hours.
Some operators said (hey ex
pected to be called soon to gov
ernment-sponsored talks.
Lewis told btevenson that he
Croposed a two-state agreement
ccause " It may be more accepta
ble to some operators who have
overlapping mining interests in
both states."

Woman Admits
Hiring 2 Men To
Kill Her Husband
BREMERTON, Nov. 4. UP) A
mother of two children is held on
a charge of attempted murder
here after telling authorities she
had made a $324' down oavment
on an unfulfilled plot to slay her
nusDana.
Prosecutor James Munro said
tne woman, Mrs. Margaret Susan
Piatt, 31, was accompanied by her
husband, Willford, 34, when she
aooeared to tell her story. The
husband, an unemployed navy
yard worker, later hired an at
torney for her defense.
Two men whom Mrs. Piatt said
had taken her money with the
promise to get rid oi her husband
also were held on a charge of
grand larceny by embezzlement.
They were Hollis D. Scott, 23, a
former private detective whom
Mrs. Piatt said was to arrange
the $1,000 slaying, and Wallace
Mottern, 22, also of Bremerton.
Mottern was introduced to her,
she said, as the "gunman" who
was to carry out the plot.
Munro said the woman's state
ment related that she conspired
against her husband because he
refused to give her a divorce.
The prosecutor said Detective
Lt. John E. Plouf said Mrs. Piatt
told them she wanted to get rid
of her husband "because he want
ed to make love every night of
our 15 years of married life and
I couldn't stand it."
The death plot later was aban
doned, Munro said he was told by
Mrs. Piatt, when she and Scott
decided to run away together. She
said they sold the Piatt car for
$1,200. She turned the money over
to Scott and was to meet him in
Seattle for the trip east.
When he failed to keep the
rendezvous, Mrs. Piatt said she
decided she had been abandoned
and told the entire story to her
husband.
