CABINET STEPS IN TO
AVERT COAL STRIKE
BltumlnOuS Miners and Opera
tors Confer With Government.

ington.-Immediate steps to
avert the threatened nationwide
strike of bituminous coal mine work
ers has been taken by the federal
government. After President Will
sons cabinet had discussed the situ-
alton at length, Secretary Wilson, of
the department of labor, announced
that he had invited John l.. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers
OF America, and John L. Brewster,
representing the operators, to confer
with him here.
While efforts of the miners and oD-
orators TO reach an agreement on the
demands OF the workers which include
increased pay and shorter hours, have
failed, Secretary Wilson is hopeful
that some amicable adjustment of the
controversy can be made. 1t is under
stood that he will impress upon both
Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Brewster the i'm
portance of uninterrupted operation OF
the mines upon the life OF the nation.
The possible effect OF such a strike
Oh tHC idIli OduS lS unueTSlOOu TO De
uppermost In the minds Of govern
ment officials. A shut down OF the
mines would result in paralysis OF
the transportation system within a
short time with consequent suffering
over the country because OF the shut
ting off of populOus centers from food
supplies. Industry also would be
brought to a standstill with public
utilities stopped and shipping tied up.
President Lewis, of the Miners un-
ion, with other union officials, went to
indianapolis to prepare the call for
the strike in November 1. Officials
hope the issuing of the call will be
deferred.
Should the conference be barren Of
results, further action by the govern
ment is expected, but no one in au-
thOrity would venture to suggest what
form that action would take. While
the cabinet decided to leave the set
tlement Of the strike with the DEPART
ment of labor, it was regarded as
more than likely that If the confer
ence failed the entire cabinet would
consider the next course.
