Mine HEADS AND GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS LEAVE TO ATTEND
CONFERENCE IN indianapolis
President Lewis to Present President Wilson's Proposal to
Wage Scale Committee Tomorrow With Recommended
tons That it Be Accepted-CoaI Shortage, However,
Will Continue Acute Until First Of January.

Washington Dec S.-The coal short
age will continue acute until Jan. /
even il mine union wage scale officials
in indianapolis tomorrow vote to &C
cept the settlement proposed by Presi-
dent Wilson, it was predicted here to-
day.
Railroad administration officials in
charge of coal priorities are making
plans based on this belief. Curtail-
ment of train service will be continued
several weeks, 1t is expected, and may
be increased This would permit addi-
tional coal hauling facilities.
MUST REMAIN CLOSED.
Meanwhile many plants and factories
must remain closed until their bins
can be replenished. Part time opera
ton of stores and factories in many
sections will be continued probably un-
i'll after the beginning of the new year.
Although there was no explanation
here today of details of President Will
sons proposal which has been accepted
by President Lewis of the miners, it is
said the plan includes no increase in
the Il per cent settlement proposed
b. Fuel Administrator Garfield.
The importance of the plan, it is as
sumed, lies in the suggestion for a
commission to study the situation and
work to prevent it's recurrence.
The miners thus would be assured
of wage readjustments with every
change of the general economic situa-
tion.
LEAVE FOR INDIANA.
II is the commission plan which is
understood to have influenced Lewis to
decide to urge acceptance of the presi-
dents offer. Lewis and Secretary
Green assured Attorney General Palmer
they would lay the offer before the
union wage scale committee with a
favora Bile recommendation. Lewis gave
Palmer this assurance Saturday mid
night when at a secret meeting with
the attorney general. The attorney
general and his assistant, G. B. Ames,
lett here late yesterday for Indian
epolis on the same train that carried
Lewis and Green.
In a statement issued at the White
House hope for settlement of the coal
strike for Tuesday afternoon was held
out
The statement said:
1T is hoped that there will be a set
tlement on Tuesday afternoon of the
controversy between the miners, the
operators and the government through
acceptance by the miners of a plan for
a definite settlement proposed by the
president which proposal was submit
ted to Acting President Lewis of the
miners by Attorney General Palmer
Saturday night"
Rumors of conflict between Palmer
and Fuel Administrator Garfield were
declared baseless. The position of the
White House officials was that the
matter was in the hands of President
Wilson ard that both the attorney
general and fuel administrator were
acting under his orders.
