HASTEN ACTION 70 OBTAIN NEW
 MINERS SCALE
Apparent tnwiilingness of the Workers to Return to JObs
 Causes Speeding Up.
BOTH SIDES RESUME
 SETTINGS ON FRIDAY
Full Production Impossible Until Scale Is in Effect, Declare Lead ers---Hope for Action by
 Saturday.

Washington, Nov. 12.-The appar- ent unWillingness of all union coal miners to return to work at the oid pay scale caused government officials to put forth every effort today to bring about immediate negotiation Of a new wage agreement.
 Secretary Wilson, without waitinr for formal acceptance of his offer to mediate the differences, began smoothin gthe way for the joint con ference of miners and operators he has called to meet in Washington . Friday.
 Both sides notified the labor ses- retary that they would attend the conference. Spokesmen for the mine workers said that if the mine owners came in spirit of conciliation new agreement could be framed and rati- fled by Saturday night. Until an agreement is formally accepted by the miners scale committee, labor leaders said, there was little hope of full resumption of coal productior. Meanwhile it was on the nations wis ibe coal supply that Secretary Will son undertook today to induce some. of the miners and operators to ses Ine OLhef IellOW Slde. "
 See Changing Sentiment.
 The indicated continued suspen- sion of mining activity in unior fields today was not a surprise to government officials, nor accepted as an actual test of the attitude of the the order cancelling the strikeetaoin miners. Compete distribution of the order cancelling the strike might take some time, it was said. It was felt, however, that a large number of men still might remain out until assured that some demands agreed upon in convention would be granted.
 Labor leaders, who have frankly admitted that public sentiment was strongly against the strike, took con- fort today from what they described as seeming change of sentiment as reflected in newspaper editorials.
 Messaees to labor headouartars stated that the feeling was erowinc that the miners were entitled +c higher wages.
 Secretary Wilson while dcclininy to discuss the outlook for speeav peace in the coal fields. was greatly encouraged at the readiness of the two sides to meet and make a detar- mined effort to frame wage sche- dule satisfactory to miners and on- orators alike. Mr Wilson was honefnl of success and this feeling was shaY- ed by most officials.
