SUSPENSION OF WORK
WILL NOT LAST LON g

New York, April Anthracite coal
operators believe that the sus-
pension Of work in the hard coal re-
gion which went into effect today Will
not continue long and that the coming
meeting of the~~operators committee
and representatives of the miners on
April 10 In Philadelphia will result IN
q basis of settlement. This belief is
strengthened. the operators say. by the
fact that there have been no traces OF
bitterness shown on either side and
that this makes a, satisfactory ADJUST
ment of differences much easier.
Just what proposition the miners Will
submit to the operators at the coming
Philadelphia conference as basis NJ
discussion has not been learned, but
the operators think the two points of
chief issue viii be the questions of in
creased wages and recognition Of the
union. Most of the operators are IN
favor Of granting an increase in wages,
while one railroad company is said TO
oppose an increase. claiming that 1t
would wipe out its margin Of prof1t.
1t is reported here today that several
independent companies had made spe-
cial arrangements with their men to
continue mining and that this coal
would be sold to consumers at an in
creased cost.
