Jt was also, said that the union rank and file was told the companies had inauguratedd a sub stantial eight-hour day and had ar ranged to hear grievances once each week. Union 3iot Recognised. Recognition of the union, they said, had been steadfastly refused, but it was reported that some of the union members criticised the officers for not proposing the referendum a month ago when there was better chance of their obtaining work. DENVER, April 10. "The action of the Michigan locals of the Western Federation of Miners to take a refer endum vote on the question of ending the strike meets with the entire ap proval of the Federation officers," de clared Charles H. Moyer. president of the organization today. "The members of the local decided to call the strike by a referendum vote. The officers and the Federation merely went to their assistance and have done the best they could in its conduct. Federation Will Approve. "If the men wish to end the strike, accepting the eight-hour day and wage increase, two of their chief demands, and waiving the question of recogni tion, their petition will have the ap proval of the general officers. "If, however, they vote to continue the strike, the general federation will continue to support them." Mr. Moyer said the operators had ad vertised a minimum wage of $3 a day. He emphasized the fact that the mem bers of the locals had called the strike and had full power to pass on the ques tion whether it should be continued or ended.

She asked a 90-day stay. The Governor s answer was that his decision was final. Itrllcloaa-Holiday Pleaded. One of the arguments which had been made to the Governor has been that he should not allow the four gun men to die during the Feast of the Passover, inasmuch as three of them, all except Orotic!. Are Jews. It is within the legal right of Warden Clancy of Sing Sing to delay the executions until after that period of feasting has passed, if he desires. The feast started at sundown tonight and orthodox Jews celebrate it for eight days. The Court of Appeals sentenced the gunmen to die in "the week; beginning April 13." Thus the holiday will end next Satur day night at sundown and the execu tion would not hare to take place, ac cording to law, until midnight Satur day night. Saturday, however, being the Jewish Sabbath, there has been se vere objection made to the executing of the men on that dajr. I'm A ff llla.-ll.

Debate In the Senate on the bill for the gov ernmental control of the radium-hear ing lands of the West was opened today by -Chairman V alsh, of the mines com mittee. Emphasizing the importance of the measure, Senator Walsh said radium- bearing lands were not only to be found In Colorado and Utah, but In Mon tana, and probably would be found In other states. He added that the Bureau of Mines and two eminent doctors were conducting experiments in the method of producing radium, which. If suc cessful, would be given to the public. Governors declared that "upon the ad ministration of the laws governing the disposal of the public lands in a large measure depends the future prosperity of our states," and that the newer states having been admitted In ex press terms on an equal footing in all respects whatever with the original states, "no realization of that condi tion can be attained until the state's Jurisdiction shall extend to all their territory, the taxing power to all their lan is and their political power and in fluence be thereby secured."

Heretofore Impossible, Can Be Performed. NEW YORK. April 10. Dr. Alexis Carrel, head of the Rockefeller Insti tute and winner of a Nobel prise for science, discussed today his latest ex periment In surgery of the heart before the American Surgical Association. These experiments were performed ou dogs, with the idea of developing meth ods and technique which can now be successfully applied to human subjects. In several recent instances," Dr. Carrel said. "I have succeeded i clamping en masse the neck or pedicle -of the heart, thus shutting off the cir culation of the blood for two or three Lminutes and giving opportunity for a rapid operation on the aortio and pul monary valves. After the operation was completed and the clamps removed. the heart resumed its pulsation, and after a short time the pulsations be came regular. An Interruption of cir culation for a much longer period Is undoubtedly possible, so that opera tions of a more complicated nature could be performed. "In no case were there any accidents nor was there any need of massaging the heart when the interruption of the circulation did not exceed two and one- third minutes. The valves were gen erally exposed byan incision about an Inch and a half long, made half In the pulmonary artery and half on the ventricle of the heart." Dr. Carrel Indicated that this new surgery would make possible the cur ing of many valvular heart troubles WOMAN SUES GOVERNOR ASSAlXT IX STRl'GGlB KOU PAROI.K PETITION .ILLKVKD, LENIEXT WAKDKN' HAPS GLYNN Colorado Official Says Course Aids Soclalis.ni and Anarchy.
