RECOMMEND OPEN SESSIONS
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Coa'
miners and operators from the ma
tons bituminous fields will enter
into negotiations here today for a
new wage agreement with the ques-
tion OF the time of termination of
the Washington wage agreement Of
1913 apparently as the chief stumbl-
ing block.
Both miners and operators on the
eve Of the conference. at which the
points in dispute in the recent strike
are expected to be settled. were
hopeful however. as TO the outcome
and expressed the belief that the
question of when the Washington
agreement terminated could be dis
posed of through mutual agreement
along with the demands Of the min
ers for sixty percslt increase in pay
and shorter hours.
Operators Statement.
Announcement by the executive
committee OF the operators of the
central competitive field, in a formal
statement Thursday night that the
Washington agreement is one of the
matters ito be determined by the
conference. was taken generally TO
mean that the operators do not in
tend. .to-stand- pat on their conten-
ton that present contracts remain
in effect during the duration of the
war" until March 81, 1920. in case
a satisfactory settlement is made
points.
The statement disclaimed that the
message from T. T. Brewster, presi-
dent of the coal operators associa-
tion in the central competitive fields
inviting the miners to a conference
Ito negotiate a contract TO be in
force upon the termination of the
contract now in effect" was an at
tempt ito entrap the miners into a
tacit acknowledgment" of the bind
ing force Of the contracts and point
ed out that the text Of the telegram
was almost indenticaI with that for
the call of the Buffalo conference.
Operators Peaceful.
1t was said by those in close
touch with the situation that the
operators were going into the con
ference today in a cOnciliatory spirit
and would not insist on the interpre-
tation that the war is not over, al
though their stand has been sup
ported by the pronOuncement of the
administration and the mandate OF
Federal Judge Anderson at Indiana

canoe to the announcement by Sec'y

logically to be expected. There was
