STRIKE APRIL 1
J WASHINGTON, March 10. Gov
prnmeut officials were represented
today as being without hope that the
threatened coal strike can be averted
or that the proposed conference be
tween the operators and the miners
would be arranged. It was indicated
that government intervention at least
in the preliminaries of the situation
was practically at an end.
Holding that a strike call April
Is almost inevitable, government of
ficials, according to the view present'
ed today on high authority, now are
chiefly Interested In seeing that
sufficient supply of coal is maintain
ed for the country as a whole.
The situation with respect to the
coal supply, it was stated, was not
acute. There is nt tho surface of the
coal mines and In stocks at consum
ing centers, it was declared, enough
coal to last the country tor ten
weeks, with tho prospects, it was add
ed, thai" this supply would be aug
menteU by production from non-unlou
mines and from operations In union
territory which department of labor
reports show are covered by listrict
settlements between the miners' un
ion and local associations of mine
operators. "Tho degrees of the gov
ernment's Intervention In this strike
situation." a high official said to
day, "must be determined by the ex
tent of the public inconvenience and
suffering which is caused by the
strike."
It wus estimated that the govern
ment did not propose to enter upon
any attempt to call a conference. Sec
retary of Labor Davis has gone as far
us he intends to go in that direction,
he said, by repeatedly and publicly
pointing out thut the government con
siders the mine operators of the cen
tral competitive field to be bound by
provisions of the existing national
wugo contract to enter negotiations
for making a substitute national con
tract reudy to apply by April 1, wben
the old ono expires.

E. J. O'Brien After Month's In
vestigation Declares That
McDonald House in Line of
Powerful Radio Stations
Reporter Slapped Own Face
IJOSTOX. Mar. 13. Edward J.
O'Drlen, scientist and author, declar
ed today that the ghost of Antigonlsh,
was in reality the product of elec
trical energy.
After a month's investigation Jn
the- Kova Scotia country, where be
u lecturing at St. Francis Xavier
university when the ghost stories
first came from Antigonlsh, O'Urien
said he found that strong wireless
currents between the two RTeat radio
stations at Wellfleet, Mass.. and
Glace IJay, X. S-, ran through the
valley at Caledonia Mills, where
stands the home ot Alexander Mc
Donald, scene of the eerie events.
"The MacDunalds," saldi O'JJrien.
"will have to move their house out of
range of these powerful radio cur
rents if they wish to avoid the ghost
like Incidents. If not, the house may
be burned down when the atmos
pheric conditions are Just right as
they apparently were when the fires
were set around the barn."
The bn.ldlns ot the tails ot the
MaeDonultl cows which has been
considered another of the manifesta
tions of the unseen Influence, was
done by Mary Ellen the Antigonlsh
farmer's daijKhter. because It was
good fun, in tho opinion ot O'Brien.
"Harold Whlddcn. the reporter,
slapped his own face when he sud
denly awakened in a temperature ot
Jj below s'ero and his numbed arm
suddenly suffused with good warm
blood." O'Brien said.
'Take a map. trace the line, apply
your scientific knowledge of wireless
operation, study the curious effects
of electrical currents in fires on ships
and on land, and you have the solu
tion of the fires charged against the
ghost of Antigonish."
O'Brien predicted thut Dr. waiter
Franklin Prince, New York, director
of the American Society for Scientific
Research, who has spent the past
week in the "haunted house," would
fall to find any ether causes of the
phenomena.

PRETORIA, Union of South Africa,

ernment forces are proceeding wuu
great success against the revolution'
ists, according to an official commu
nique issued today. The stateceut
says:
"The total number of prisoners
taken in the iterations In the central
area is 2200. Our forces occupied with
but slight casualties the high ground
around West Cllffe.
"In the eastern area govern

is felt.
Heavy casualties have been inflicted

the capture of more than 2200 of lliem.
