Will Force Peace in
Coal Industry.
K.r the Associated Press,
GLOUSTER. Ohio, November 12.
Frews who operate the steam pumps
’hat keep water out of idle mines have
been ordered on strike in six mines of
the Ohio Collieries Co. by Oral Daugh
erty, head of the Hocking Valley sub
district of the United Mine Workers.
The strike was Ordered, miners’ offi.
rials said, because the company had
delayed in reaching an agreement
with the striking miners whereby the
latter can mine Winter fuel for their
own use.
It was said the mines probably wall
fill rapidly if the pumps were not op
erated, aDd it was expected speedy set
tlement would be reached. In other
instances the miners have been per
mitted to mine coal for themselves 1
provided they mine a like amount for
the company. Union officials sa : d the
Ohio Collieries Co. would not agree to
this.

BRITISH MAY REJECT
i PRAYER BOOK REVISION
i |
Joynson-Hicks Urges Reference
Back to Church Assembly
for Action.
By tiie Associated Press.
LONDON, November 12. —The pos
sibility of Parliament’s rejecting the
rev ised Book of Common Prayer is |
foreshadowed in a declaration made
by the home secretary. Sir William
Joynson-liicks, who is expected to be
the principal spokesman for the !
evangelical party when the issue
comes before Parliament in a few
j weeks.
The home secretary urges reference
back to the church assembly, which, j
he says, might in the meantime ein- j
body in a separate measure those |
j parts of the new Prayer Book about j
which there is almost general agree- !
! ment. He argues that there is no j
i finality about the revision, and no j
| undertaking that the bishops will en- j
■ force compliance with the new book. ;
It will inevitably be used, adds the j
j secretary, as a jumping-off ground i
| for further demands from those who j
advocate and adopt ‘‘Romanizing 1
, practices.”
