FALL IX 12 HOURS -
MIAMI, Fla., Nov. 30. (By
Associated Press ) . Miami,
drenched and dripping, resumed
her interrupted labors late to
day after the most devastating
rainfall in her history. The
downpour - established l a new
record for a single day's rain
fall -here, with a precipitation
of 14.1 Inches, according to
Richard W. Gray, weather ob
server here. This new mark
bettered the former record set
October 24, 1924.. when 9.76
Inches of rain fell.
Miami and her satellite cities
and towns were forced to sus
pend business generally.
- Covering an almost , exact 12
hour period, the rainfall, which
continued' with intermittent
lulls from Sunday night until
noon today, transformed Miami
Into a series of miniature lakes
and rivers. Principal; avenues
of travel in .both Miami and
Miami beach were under from
several' inches to' three and
four feet of water in places and
hundreds of automobiles and
motor vehicles were marooned
for hours. .1
' City utilities in general were
severely crippled by the torrenr
tlal downpour and lack of pow
er in the city lighting system
threw a pall of darkness over
the city ' in. the ' early ; morning
which crippled ordinary activi
ties, .'v ;- 'j .

estimate the losses incurred.

COAL OPERATORS REJECT
LANS MADE BY P1NCH0T
MINE OWNERS ; REFUSE TO
MEET GOVERNOR'S TERMS
lan Favored by Workers Thrown
Out by- Operators; Xo Pro
gress Made
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 30.
(By Associated Press.) The an
thracite operators today rejected
Governor Pinchot's proposals for
ending the bard coal strike.
In refusing his plan, already ac
cepted as a basis of settlement by
the-United Mine Workers, the mine
owners offered no counter pro
posal but drew the governor's at
tention to a proposal made to
President John L.. Lewis of the
miners' union two weeks ago a.nd
rejected by him.
The action . of the .operators
leaves the situation virtually
where it was before the governor
made his offer and the strike en
ters its fourth month tomorrow
with the anthracite supply daily
growing shorter.
"It is impossible for us to find
in your proposals," said the oper
ators' letter to the governor, J'the
uasis oi a sound and lasting settle
ment and for the same reason hey
cannot be considered as a basil for
conierence ana negotiation, i
The letter, after pointing (out
that the governor's plan proposes
that prices shall not be increased
end wages shall not be decreased
for a period of five years, states
that he is afkliig the operators not
to repeat the Jacksonville mis
take of endeavoring to maintain
his prices to pay his wages through
the simple formula of writinie
these terms into a contract."
"An arrangement involving an
agreement on prices is clearly il
legal," the operators said and ad
ded that "prices are controlled by
the law of supply and demand and
cannot be maintained at artificial
levels by arbitrary agreements.'
The operators referring to the
limited check off suggested by the
governor, characterized this sys
tem of deducting dues from the
wages of the men as "repugnant
to reason and justice and a bar
rier rather than an aid to sound
industrial relations."
,In, practice they stated,. thfto's-
tem would result in coercion and
intimidation and would not elimin
ate strikes.

She Will Not "Throw Her

SPECIAL CALL REFUSED
Mrs. Ferguson Will Xot Call Leg
islature; Defiance Is Shown
at Mention of Im
peachment AMARILLO. Texas, Nov. 30.-
(By Associated Press). The low
er house of the Texas legislature
will be called to meet in special
session January 4, Speaker Lee
Satterwhite of that body said here
tonight upon his return from
Austin and Dallas.
AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 30. (By
Associated Press). A representa
five of the Baltimore Sun who to
day obtained an exclusive Inter
view with Governor Miriam A
Ferguson and her husband, James
E. Ferguson, quoted the former as
declaring that she would not call
a special session of the legislature
as demanded in a petition signed
by Speaker Lee Satterwhite and
SO of its members.
She added that she was not go
ing to "throw myself to the wolves
who want to gather here and tear
me apart."
Official acts of "the Ferguson
administration, particularly the
awarding of road contracts, would
be investigated if the special ses
sion of the legislature is convened.
Should the legislators meet on
their own call they could only con
sider impeachment proceedings
against state officials.
"Let them assemble if they
want to," she is quoted as having
declared. "Let them start some
thing. I'll still be here when they
finish."; She said she was a fighter.
The Sun will say that political
opponents of the Fergusons Jim
and Miriam are seeking to un
horse the woman governor." Fer
guson denied, according to the
story, sr-Teport-tbat ne-made-B
"tacit" admission that he per
formed the duties of the governor.
He said he never made any such
admission, tacit or otherwise. '
"Now please make that clear,"
he said. "Every newspaper in this
state is against the Fergusons.
That's their privilege. Now you
boys come from all corners of the
country. We're asking for no fav
ors. Just a square deal."
"There goes that 'we' again,"
interposed Mrs. Ferguson. "Now
you want to watch out, Jim."
Tnat s wnere tney got me
wrong again," he said. "I've been
saying, that for years where Ma
and I are concerned. I just can't
help it."
