: COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 5.--When
the conference of Ohio coal operators
and miners officials called by Gov
ernor Cox opened at the governors
office at IL o'clock today in an effort
to arrive at a wage agreement that
would open the Ohio mines, the gov
ernor had the operators in one room
and the miners in another. He HIM
self was acting as the "gobetween" ,
carrying propositions and suggestions
back and forth At the opening the
governor spoke to both sides, pointing
out the misery and suffering that has
already resulted from the coal short
age, and the still greater hardships
threatened when hundreds Of Ohio
factories and other business concerns
will be forced to shut down within the
next few weeks II they fail to replen'
(, ish their coal supply.
Representatives OF the operators
had already assured the governor be-
fore the meeting that they would be
willing to make wage concessions to
the miners. They were prepared,
they said, to go above the IA percent
increase that was fixed by Coal Ad-
ministrator Garfield at Washington,
but they were opposed to giving the
81 percent increase urged by Secre'
tary of Labor Wilson.
One the other hand miners. out.
wardly at least, were inclined to hold
out for the 81 percent.
The governor, however, was hope
full that he could bring the operators
and miners together on satisfactory
wage increase.
Should the governor get the two
sides to agree, the next step would be
to secure the approval OF the miners
national headquarters at Indianapolis
to this agreement.
A special dispensation would have
to be granted to permit the Ohio
miners to go to work, while miners In
other adjoining states remained idle.

strike, following Judge Anderson's fed
