Operators and Garfield
Seek Basis For Coal
Strike Settlement

Washington. Nov. 4.-Efforts to
reach a basis for possible settlement
of the strike of bituminous coal
miners were made to-day at con-
ference here between Federal Fuel
Administrator Garfield and j. D. A
Morrow, president of the National
Coal Association. an organization of
the leading coal operators of the
country.
DR.. Garfield returned early to-day
from a visit TO Kentucky and soon
afterwards went into conference
with Mr.. Morrow, who was an Off
cial of the fuel administration, dur
ing the war. What proposals the
fuel administrator had to make were
1T disclosed in advance of the con-
ference.
Government officials felt that the
broad powers of the Federal Court
Injunction in shutting off the strike
funds would force the miners to re-
turn to work. Labor leaders them
selves were said to hold the view
that the miners could not hold out
long for lack of subsistence caused
by the operation of the injunction.
Agents of the Department of JUS
tiCe reported to headquarters here
that nonunion miners were working
on full time and that defections
from the union ranks were notice.

CITY FACES CRISIS

Scter Building Laws Needed Supervise Quick Turning
of Small Dwellings into Apartment Houses

The menace of the housing condi-

pressed a good many people who re-
gard it as an academic question
which does not concern them as in
dividuals. Sometime ago the Tele-
graph made a survey of its own and
printed the results of that investi-
cation showing how seriously con-
gested are many sections of the city
and how families are living in
squalor because they found it impos-
sible to get proper homes.
1t has come to the attention of the
Telegraph that one individual or
group of individuals is creating hous-
ing conditions even worse in sections
of the city which have heretofor U
been rather sanitary and free of SER
ious congestion.
