LONDON IS QUIET JETER TENSE DAY Intense Relief Shown When Contemplated Strike of Transport Men Fails To Materialize. MINERS MAINTAIN SEVERED RELATIONS ; Hodges is Criticized for Tak ing Too Much Authority Into Hands LONDON, April 1".. A tense day, replete in surprises, closed tonight with an air of quietude!' There was intense relief over the knowledge that the contem plated strike of the railway and transport workers had been called off and there was renewed hope of industrial peace. The situation tonight was that the strike of the miners contin ued and that everything depend ed on the extent on which Frank Hodges, general secretary of the miners' federation, would be able to maintain his authority over the rank and file of the miners. It is said that Mr. Hodges threatened to resign but that the miners' federation refused to lis ten to him A national confer ence of delegates of the federation has been called to discuss the whole question. The breaking away from the triple alliance of the railwaymen and the transport workers on the miners' rejection of the moder ate course recommended by Mr. Hodges, with a view to securing a temporary adjustment of the wage dispute, seems to have brought matters to a crisis where it was imperative to take a de- i rtsion one way or another. Mr, Hodges, it JLg declared, was se verely criticised by hi- colleagues for having made what was termed a peace offer to members of the house of commons without auth ority. He is aid to have immedi ately tendered his resignation, lthough the general situation is considered to have greatly im proved, the government has not relaxed its measures, military or j otherwise. i Owners Will Adjust Ih Wage, j The mine owners issued an- j other statement tonicht repeating their previous stated opinion that the wages of the lower paid men ought to be adjusted and declar ing they still were ready to meet the miners in conference. Not since the war wa? declared has the hojise of commons wit nessed more dramatic fluctuations of hope and anxiety than wore ex perienced today in connection with the threatened industrial crisis. . Last eveninc everything looked black, but after it became apparent that the mln owners were prepared to consider a re vision of their oriainal position, and after the statement of Frank Hodges, the miners secretary, that lie was prepared to discuss the question of wages, leaving the question of a national pool for future settlement, hopes rose and they still were high when the commons m t at noon today. On th" assembling of the house rumors were current that Mr Hodges had been thrown over by the miners executive and also that he bad resigned. Then the news came that the miners had refused to meet the owners and were insisting on their original demands BY M CALLISTER Assistant State Corporation Commissioner Goes To Financial Firm Mark I).

The colored men played indilferently when they saw the score coming theii way without difficulty. The "shadow practice" of the Giants, going through all the mo t onb of field practice without a baseball, was a comedy stunt worth the price of admission and entertained the fair-sized crowd. Hay, the colored catcher, contin ued his comedy throughout the game.

He Is said to be in revolt against the govern ment. Eariy in April General Pablo Gonzales, then in Laredo, Texas, d.sclosed the existence of a plan to overthrow the Mexican govern ment, but said he had nothing t6 do with it, directly or indirectly. "I consider as very laudable," he declared at that time, "the purpose of those Mexicans who eeek as their highest aim the sal vation of my country, menaced as it is by the bad management and inconceivable turpitude of those men who have seized the reins of the administration." General Gonzales then admitted it was his understanding that he would be offered the leadership of tit? movement. In this connection he said: "In the event that I accept the commission which is within my right, I shall certainly continue to respect the laws of neutrality of this hospitable country, the cradle of human yberties." General Gonzales was captured in July 1,1915. by federal forces near Monterey, as the intellectual head of proradic revolts. After a short time his unconditional re lease was ordered on the ground that he no longer constituted a peril to the administration. Pablo Gonzales in turn has been minister of communications, com mander of the constitutional forces in Mexico City and for a period of three weeks, in May. i 1!I2" he was in victual personal control of the administration of national affairs, subsequent to the evacuation of Mexico City by President Carranza. He is best known as the conqueror of the state of Morelos. which he wrested from the Zapita rebels after they had held undisputed possession for nine years.
