CONFERENCE IS TODAY April 7 (Associated Press). Another day ot tense hope and fear ended with one of the Prime Minister's characteristic eleventh-hour interventions, bringing renewed prospects that the grave industrial crisis will be averted. He announced in the House of Com-nions tonight the willingness of the Government to participate in a con ference to discuss the of pumping" before other matters were considered. The council of the Independent Labor party called on its metnb; to support the miners by every means in their power, declaring the crisis was due to "an attempt on the part of organized capitalism to establish the right of unlimited plunder and degrade the standard of living which must be resisted at all costs." Refusal Called Justified. In announcing the decision of the railwaymen to give their support to the miners, J.

IL Thomas, the rail-waymen's general secretary, said the meeting today had unanimously decided that the terms offered the miners was such as justified their refusal to accept them. It would only be the beginning of a general attack on working class con ditions, and at attempt to bring about the standard of living that prevailed before the war, he declared. A verbatim report of the conference which the miners had at the Prime Minister's official residence in Down ing Street this morning, shows that an impasse was reached over the re turn of the pumpmen and other workers as a preliminary to the reopening of the peace negotiations.

If there was a disposition to accept this suggestion, the Premier said, the Government was certainly ready lo take steps to summon the parties together, stipulating that the pumping question should be cleared before any others were considered. 6 Merchants Held In Girl-A vengingMurder Daughter of One Alleges Mistreatment By Man Slain, Second-Hand Dealer.

The 7-cent fare is a failure, insofar as actual monetary benefit to the Louisville Railway Conlp.my itself is concerned, and improvements in service are out of the question, at present. James P. Barnes, president of the company, said as much, in effect, last night.

He blamed the jitney bussee in a measure, but prophesied that they cannot, for long, afford to carry passengers for 5 cents. The gross 'revenue of the company, since the 7-cent fare became effective, Mr. Barnes said last night, had increased a fraction less than 10 per cent. The company's officials, he added, were counting on at least a 20 per cent increase. The 10 per cent gain, Mr.

Barnes said, has been absorbed by the increased cost of operating this year over last. Employes of the company are being paid more, he explained, and the cost of fuel is greater. No Improvements to Be Made. "Cntil the company gets on its feet financially we cannot hope to make improvements in the service." Mr. Barnes said.

"The company officials will not attempt to outlino a programme of improvements until they can have some assurance that they will have the money to put them through." Mr. Barnes does not believe that the "jitneys" here are operating at a profit on a 5-cent fare. "Case of Selling Junk Autos." "Its just a case of selling a lot of old, worn-out automobiles to the railway company," he said. "Owners cars almost ready for the scrap heap have converted them into jitneys with a via to operating them until they will run no more. When these have gone to pieces their owners will not, in my opinion, put, new cars in operation at a 5-cent fare.

New York, April 7. The purpose of the Canadian mission of attorneys for Mrs. Anne Urquhart Stilhnan, is to collect evidence to offset testimony given against her by French-Canadians, at the hearing before Daniel J.

president of the National City Bank, gave testimony decidedly adverse to Mrs. Stillman. One of them told of alleged observations from a ladder resting against the side of a lumbermen's boarding house, some distance north of Camp St. Ill-mans, the Stillman hunting lodge in Quebec, and a second witness in part substantiated the ladder climber, and gave a few additional observations of his own. It was learned that Mrs.

Stillman's attorneys will contend that the floor plan of the house is such that a lad der could not be placed in a position to enable a person on it to see more than a small part of the room, in which Mrs. Stillman was alleged to have been and that the witness must have drawn on his imagination for details. One purpose of the trip of representatives of Mrs SriUmtth to Canada was said to obtain photographs tto support this contention. In case difficulties were encountered in interviewing the witnesses it was said they would probably ask the court to appoint a commission to go to Canada and examine them. Another Alias Alleged.

Stillman has named in her answer to her husband's charges, has still unother "alias" was alleged today by a man in touch with both sides of the Stillman marital controversy.
