BASEBALL PLAYERS WILL NOT STRIKE
Over Controvery in James H. Johnston Case-National Commission Will Soon be Called Consider the Status of Pacific Coast League Player.

New York, March S.-According to members of the Baseball Players Fra ternity the attention of the national commission will soon be called to the involved status of the contract held by James H. Johnston, formerly of League. Johnston, who is an out fielder, jumped to the Federal League club of Newark last fall. Later in the season, Charles IT. Ebbets, prest- dent of the Brooklyn Nationals, an nounced that he had signed the play CT for the Superbas upon which en- sued a series of contractual tangles which, it is said, gave rise to the statement by James A. Gilmore, pres ident of the defunct Federal League that the players were contemplating another strike.
 Johnston was signed by George StovaH for the Newark F'edera1s at salary of $4,000 a year for two years, with the ten-day release clause el1m1- mated from the contract and 5 ,GO0 ad- vance money paid to him. The play CT later had several conferences with Ebbets, who offered him @ contract with the Brooklyn club at smaller salary and containing the ten-day clause.
 Johnston claims that he did not agree to these terms but the Brooklyn club mailed contracts to his home at Chattanooga, Tenn, requesting him to sign and return to the executive of fees.
 After the peace agreement between the Federal League and organized baseball Ebbets purchased the John ston contract from Harry Sinclair, who representing the Newark Fed erals, paying S1,244 to Sinclair as a return for the $100O advanced John ston and StovalPs expenses in signing the Oakland club player. Johnston now contends that Ebberts by pur- chasing his Federal League contract is obligated by it's terms, whereas the Brooklyn club holds that the alleged verbal agreement made with Johnston warrants it in insisting that the play CT sign a contract calling for a salary of $3,400 a year with the ten-day re- lease clause included.
 The officers of the Players Frater- nifty, who are Investigating the base ball contract tangle, claim that even if this contention is correct, certain private financial propositions made in the correspondence with Johnston are violations of the Cincinnati agreement between the fraternity and organized baseball. Under this interpretation the club would be subjected to a fine and Johnston declared a free agent.
 Johnston is determined to hold ei- ther the Federal league or the Brok-

OPERATORS AND MINERS
 MAY REACH AGREEMENT.
Situation Took a Slightly Favorable
 Turn Last Night.

New York, March 3.-After hope had been abandoned today of reaching an agreement on the wage increases asked by the United Mine Workers in nego- tiatiOns over a new contract for the soft coal fields of the middle west, the situation took a slightly favorable turn and tonight both operators and miners said there still was a chance of reach ing a settlement.
 When the subcommittee of miners and operators resumed its session in the afternoon after fruitless efforts to get together in the morning, nearly everyone expected a disagreement would be reported to the full joint con- ference. Neither side, however, de- sired 10 take that responsibility, and the time was passed in group confer ences and in the sending back and forth of emissaries to influential coal operators not members of the sub committee. Then a motion was car ried to adjourn until tomorrow.
 The miners will meet early tomorrow and it is expected they will present some figures relating to dead work and yardage on the mine run basis which may ease up the situation and bring the two sides together. If they do not agree, a sine die adjournment will re- suit and each of the four states in vOlved will try to make wage contracts 1 by districts, something which both i sides have tried to avoid, it is said.
