WILL SEEK NON-UN
TO TAKE
Cleveland, Ohio, March 24.?A complete
tieup of the nation's entire con!
industry by 200,000 non-union miners
j' joining the solid ranks of a million
union workers was the program
adopted tonight by the general policy
committee of the United Mine
Workers of America for the nationwide
strike set for Ap-il J.
> I By a unanimous vote of its 1.0
members the committee affirmed the
.-.j policy of a general suspens:on of union
workers which prohibited the consummation
of single state agreements
, .1 and followed this by directing district
union officials to ask all non-union
men to join the strike. The unanimity
of action late in the day permitted
final adjournment tonight, although
' onmmtfinn Vi o/l nlnnno/1 ? /?/\w4
? T iliv VVIIIllii VW-t IIUU J/Kl/IIIVU ll? *.UIUIIIU sessions
tomorrow.
The resolution for an immediate
call to the non-union men also provided
that the "international and district
unions exert all their powers and
influence to bring about a strike in
ji the non-union coal fields of America."
The resolution was offered by Van
Bittner of Pittsburgh, who represented
the provisional Kansas union organization
at the committee meeting,
> and it was adopted without objection
V ' and practically without discussion.
The indorsement of the policy of a
general suspension of the union miners
was the committee's acceptance c*
the program laid down by the unior
convention a month ago, the suspension
being order with the avowed
purpose of gaining wage increases for
anthracite miners and retaining present
basic wages for the soft coal
workers.
Although taking action, which the
union leaders said they hoped would
stop the mining of a pound of coal
after April 1, the committee declared
itself as not intending to cause any
public suffering. In line with, thts
stand the committee authorized the
district union officials to permit apy
mine to be operated Whenever~neces,
sary to feet an emergency. Undei
^ j this program the officials said it would
tnis connection, was to prevent tne
? mining of commercial coal as a means
of forcing operators to concede the
.union's wage demands.
In addition the committee also affirmed
the provision rf the strike call
providing for all necessary protection
being given to the mines during the
strike. The only condition added by
the committee was that firemen, engineers,
pump men and others whe
will remain at work shall receive the
present scale of wages. Then thousand
men, it was estimated, would remain
at the mines under this provision but
the selection of these was left to district
union officials.

CHANDLER GIVEN
DEATH SENTENCE
i
Greenville, March 24.?After 17
minutes' deliberation, the jury in the
case of JefT Chandler, charged with
killing his wife and mother-in-law,
here February 25, returned a verdict
of guilty of first degree murder at
5:48 this afternoon, after which Judge
Frank B. Gary sentenced Chandler to
die in the electric chair on April 21.
"It is hoped that God will show
you more mercy than you showed your
victims," said the court in pronouncing
sentence on the convicted man.
"The evidence shows that you took
the lives of your victims in a most
heartless manner. You yet have time
to make peace with your Maker. May
God have mercy on your soul."
Only three witnesses were placed
on the stand before the arguments in
the case began today, and no testimony
of any great importance was developed.
The case was started last
Tuesday in criminal court here.
When sentence was passed upon
Chandler, who claimed insanity, a
smile lighted his pale face for the
first time since the trial began. The
smile then was faint and of short duration.
Beside him stood his brother,
J. Arch Chandler, who has worked
faithfully and stood by him consistently
since the trouble started.

preparations for one of the greatest i 1
air and water searches ever conducted ( ^
on the Atlantic coast. All day yester- j
day and today planes and speed boats 1

TY PACT
RATIFIED BY SENATE
Washington, March 2-1.- The four
power Pacific treaty, the center of
controversy o\er accomplishments of
the Washington arms conference, \va
ratified by the senate today with no
reservation except the *'no alliance"
| declaration proposed by t.h?? foreign
relations committee and ;?< ? pted by
I President llard'ng.
The final v< te of 07 to 27, representing
a margin of four over the
necessary two-thirds, was recorded afi
tor the opponents of ratification had
made more than 20 unsuccessful attempts
to qualify senate action by
reservations or amendments distaste'
ful to the administration. On the deciding
roll call 12 Democrats voted
i for the treaty and only f->ur Republi;
cans opposed it.
Dying hard, the irreconcilable element
which has opposed the treaty on
the ground that it established an alliance
between the United States
: Great Britain, Japan and France,
forced 33 roll calls during a four and
a half hour session set aside for final
action on the resolution of ratification.
They made their best showing
; on a proposed reservation to invite
. outside powers into Pacific "conferences"
affecting their interests, mustering
30 votes for the proposal to
nr. in opposition.
The committee reservation was accepted
in the end by a vote of 90
to 2, two attempts to modify failing
by overwhelming majorities. It
declares that the "United States understands
that under the statement
in the preamble or under the terms
of this treaty tin re if n?? commitment
to armed force, no alliance, no obligation
to join in any defense."
Although the debate was prohibited
during the day session under a unanimous
consent agreement, the treaty
opponents raised a point of order in
regard to the declaration accompanying
the treaty hut not a part of it,
and laid the basis for continuing: their
assault tomorrow when the supplethat
pertains to the four power arrangement
