WAeHINoTON, Oct. S. Ia an earnest
effort to expedite an adjustment of the

White house today and adjourned at
ter three hours Of leliberation. No
statement was given out Us to the con.

The known facts are that the prcsi.
dent has reached conclusion that he
has nothing to expect save refusal
from a further appeal to the coal op.
orators, and therefore he decided to
look to the relief of the situation from
the miners side. He feels that he can
hardly expect them to make u sacrifice
OF all Of their contentious without
holding out at least promise Of sotne
return and the question before him is
as to his ability to do this. He can
pledge himself to appeal to congress
