GREAT BRITAIN IN DANGER O Wl'ALXJUT OE 0A,000,000 MEN IS THREATENED BY TRADES UNION MAY USE TROOPS Agreement Between Miners' Union And Government Must Be Reached Before Tuesday (1y Associated Press) LONDON, May 2.-The meetin between the cabinet ninisters and the negotiating committee of the trades union congress ended at 1:3 o'elbck this Sunday morning. J. 11. Thomas, who is secretary of the railwaymen's union, announced there was still hope that further negotiations on the strike situation would take place later in the day. LONDON, May 1,-A general strike involving 5,000,000 workers will go in- to effect in Great Britain next Tues- day unless the miners' union, repre- senting 1,000,000 men who quit at midnight, and the government reach an agreement before that day, it was decided at a trades union conference here today. The British government today pro- claimed that "a state of emergency exists" in consequence of the coal strike, thus assuming powers from the throne to employ troops or take any other measures necessary to maintain order and insure the welfare of the population' The trades union confer- ence decided to call out the employes in the vital services, including the transport workers, if no settlement is reached in the miners' dispute before Tuesday. Great Britain's coal miners, num- bering more than a million workers, suspended work at midnight, because of failure of negotiations respecting wages.lnd hours. There still is faint hope that negotiations may be re- opened but the mining industry was at a standstill today. The trades unions represent five million workers and a general strike *ould tie up all the nation's indus- tries, including the regular transport communications. It was announced that the trades unions would offer to maintain by voluntary arrangement distribution of essential foodstuffs. The government, too, has made com- plete preparations to insure mainten- ance of the essential services. King George Friday night signed a procla- mation of national emergency giving the government full powers to employ troops or take any other measures necessary to mantain order and insure the welfare of the people. The position of the dispute is brief- ly this: A governmental subsidy was grant- ed last July to assist the coal indus- try, which was said to be losing money. This subsidy, used to main- tain the scale of wages, expired at mlidnight last night. Pending reorganization of the indus- try along the lines recently recom- mended by an expert commission ap- pointed by the government, the own- ers were faced with the necessity of running the mines on their own re- sources. They offered the miners a uniform I national minimum wage 20 per cent higher than that obtaining in 1914 but representing a reduction 13 1-3 per cent in the present wages. The own- crs also insisted upon an eight-hour day instead of seven. The miners refused to accept either the wage re- duction or the lengthening of hours. The government's first concern is to provide for the milk and food supply of the metropolitan areas of London and the other thickly populated cen- ters and the board of trade is inten- sively preparing for an emergency. Hyde Park again has been turned into a place of assembly for hundreds of motor vehicles for relief work, re- calling wartime days and previous big strikes. Great Britain is placed under what approaches a state of seige by the proclamation that "a state of emer- gency exists." 'While not a proclama- tion of martial law or a formal state of seige it gives the government al- most ualimited powers. The remedy prescribed under the law under which the proclamation is issued is that the government cannot declare industrial conscription or compulsory military service. Apart from this limitation it may institute what measures it desires for ti nreservntin of neace. the secur- ISENIORS TO OBSERVE CANE TRADITION TODAY Burying the hatchet after the tense political combats in the past week during mock elections, ' nearly 1,000 members of the1 class of '26 will appear on the campus today.with their walk- ing sticks to celebrate Cane day, the first of the many traditional events occurring the final month beforeCommencement. This is the 37th year that Cane day has Ibeen observed. The traditiondates back to the Itime when a picket fence sur- lded the entire campus. In the spring of the year when Commencement was approach- ing, a greater part of the fence would mysteriously disappear during the night, and a few days later the seniors would be seen on the campus carrying the ji small-size pickets for canes. Following the abolishment of the fence, seniors have yearly pur- chased canes, a distinct style for eachcollege in the University, Iand carried them for the few f weeks preceding graduation. The canes, labeled according to colleges, are displayed in I Wagner and company's store on State street. Most of them are 1 made from Malacca wood, a lightweight timber, and are dis-I distinguished by color and a sterling silver band near the top. , Included also in the dis- play is a cane carried by a mem- her of the pharmacy class of f 1881; this is less than half an inch in diameter near the top f tapers down and has no crook. SEEK A6REEM ENT ON FARMMEASUREJ Senators From Agricultural States Continue Meetings In Attempt To Effect Compromise OPPOSE HAUGEN BILL MICHIGAN FALLS BEFORE BRILLIANT SYRACUSE HURLING MAIZ AND BLUE GET BUT FOUR IlTS WHILE VISITORS COLLECT ELEVEN DEFENSE STUBBORN Orange Scores In First, Third, And Ninth Innings; Play Indiana Here Tomorrow FORMER MI1L ANTIERSSST PIRESIDENT RtELIGION PROGRAM ARRANGED Women's League And Student Council Sponsor Uiiversity Service in Hill Auditorium WASHINGTON, May 1. - While awaiting House consideration next week of farm relief legislation, sena- tors from the agricultural states con- tinued their conferences today in an effort to agree upon a measure de- signed to command the support of a majority in the Senate. Those favoring the corn belt plan as written into the Haugen bill, pending in the House, called in a number of senators to whom a spokesman for farm organizations explained the principal features of this proposal. At the same time, Democratic sen- ators from the cotton states initiated a series of conferences with a view to reaching an agreement on the fun- damentals of farm relief on which they might go along with senators from the wheat and corn belts. The chief stumbling block to a gen- eral agreement on the Haugen bill ap- pears to be the provision for levying an equalization fee on basic farm products. Some senators hold that this provision is unconstitutional and inadvisable, but others support it as aI real method of solving the problem of crop surplus and price fluctuation. Although proponents of the Haugen, bill have sought to enlist the aid of representatives from the East, there were new signs today of increasing opposition in that section to legisla- tion proposing price stabilization. MOHAMEONENVOYS TAKE TERMS TO RHIFF OUJDA, May 1.-Mohammedan en- voys left here today feeling that they were taking to Abl-el-Krim an ulti- imatum which he would not accept. The Riff leader has been given until !May 6 to accept the terms of thei peace conference which adjourned to- day. The envoys of Krim take to him the message that the French and Span- ish demand the immediate release of all prisoners and require a substantial advance of the Franco-Spanish milit- tary front as a guarantee of good faith. The delegation returning to the Riff chieftain are certain, they say, that he will not accede to the demands and that war will result. In fact they have declared that they themselves will advise against ac- ceptance of the proposal.

Locke Makes New 220 Yard Record WO VERINES DEFEAT HAWKEES IOWA GETS SLAiM IN BOTH HURDLE EVENTS WHILE FARRELL'S MEN WIN 721-2 TO 621-2 (By Associated Press) IOVA CITY, Maiy .--Any rancour that may exist in Ann Arbor Miichigan, from the Iowa victory at the Big Ten finals last winter, should' be swept away tonight with the news that Coach Farrell's Michigan track teani trampled Iowa here today in a dual meet 72 1-2 to 62 1-2, which established the Wolverines' superiority in nearly every department except the hurdles. Michigan took four out of seven firsts in the field, and tied another; five out of eight firsts on the track, for a total of nine out of fifteen, and participated in establishing a University of Iowa record. The only Iowa spurt was the sweeping of both hurdle events. Without 18 points, which they garnered in these two events, they should have had a sorry total. Michigan took an early lead when Hester and Leschinsky cracked the tape in the ioo-yard and 220-yard dashes, and held it through most of the meet. Iowa once overcame the lead, 28 1-2 to 25 1-2, when their excellence in the high jump and the hurdle gave them a strong Impetus, THE POINTS BY EVENTS but through the remainder the Wol- I verines held a slight margin.
