IMPROVED CONDITIONS
IN COAL STRIKE FIELDS
All Miners Resume Work in Indiana
and Practically All
in Ohio.

Kansas-Dr. Garfield Reports
Lower Prices for Consumers.

WASHINGTON. October 22.-General
Improvement in the coal situation was
announced By DR.. II. a. Garfield. fuel
administrator this afternoon. DR.. Gar
mead was able TO cite better conditions
in the strike fields and lower prices 10
| consumers in several parts of the cOun-
try. With affairs taking this double
turn for the better, talk OF governm ent
seizure and operation of the coal mines
was forgotten. DR.. Garfield admit Ted
however. he was still awaiting word
from the Attorney-Gencral as to hi,
powers In case seizure seems the only
solution to the fuel problem.
Optimism In regard 70 the strike
situation was based on telegram from
John +. White. presiden. Of the United
Mine Workers of America, who is
working on tho trouble from his head
quarters in indianapolis. lie wired DIR.
Garfield as follows:
"All miners resumed work in Indiana
this morning. and practically all in
ohio. Latest reports from Illinois are
that all mines are resuming in line
with our instructions"
Strike troubles in Western Pennsyl-
vania have died out, 1t was said, and
the only other strike Of any import
was that in the Southwestern district
through Kansas. The men there, It was
reported here to-day, are willing to
walt for new coal prices and higher
wages at the discretion OF the fuel ad
ministration. but balk at clause In
the agreement that pcnali6es them II
they should strike. DR.. Garfield thinks
they will finally agree TO the penaliz-
Ing clause, for the reason that miners
throughout the rest Of the country
accepted It.
Lower prices for all grades OF coal
were reported to DR.. Garfield by several
State fuel administrators. From Penn
sylvanfa came word that lower prices
are prevailing in Harrisburg and
Philadelphia. Big dealers I'm New York
City have lowered prices from 10 to
40 cents per ton on various grades.
Other dealers are reported to be meet
ing these reductions.
