W|RESPRES|DENT
T. 0FT-COAL STRIKE
HAS BEEN AVERTED
John L. Lewis Says Confer
ence at Cleveland Fore
casts Harmony.

John l.. Lewis. president of the
United Mine Workers of America,
telegraphed President Wilson today
that danger of a strike this winter by
soft coal miners in the central COM
petitive field was believed to have
been averted. as a result of the con-
ference of the operators and miners
at Cleveland.
Mr.. Lewis said that while the con-
ference of the scale committees had
adjourned. he felt certain that diff
ferences now existing could be "har-
monized by agreements to be consum-
mated in the several states" The
full text of the message was not made
public.
Another message from the oper-
ators' group said the two sides were
"hopelessly deadlocked." because the
Presidents proposal to form a COM
mission to settle the controversy had
been rejected by represe natives of
the miners. No specific request that
the President take further action was
made in the message.

Separate Agreement
for Miners of Central
Field Thought Likely

CLEVELAND, August 20.-Oficials
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea concluded their conferences here
yesterday and departed for their
homes in various parts OF the country,
after having failed to reach a wage
agreement with the bituminous coal
operators of the central competitive
field.
There will be no general suspension
of work, John L. Lewis, president of
the mine workers, declared before
boarding a train.
Il anticipate the whole matter can
be adjusted without Inconvenience to
the public" he said. There may be
sporadic stHkes-in fact some locals
were out today when they heard the
conference was not getting any
where"
AT a policy meeting of the miners
yesterday it was decided to meet the
operators separately in the four states
of the central field Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and western Pennsylvania-
and make separate supplemental wage
agreements.
President John Moore of the Ohio
mine workers announced that the Ohio
executive board will meet in Columbus
Monday afternoon to decide when and
how to request a scale conference with
operators of this state.
CHICAGO, August 28.-A conference
of Illinois coal operators was sched-
uled today to discuss the plans of the
operators for a separate agreement be-
tween them and Illinois miners to re-
place the central competitive district
agreement regulating the wage scale
of miners since 1881.
AS an explanation of the call for to-
days meeting. the Illinois operators
cited the fault of the joint wage scale
committee to agree at it's Cleveland
meeting. which, they said, left half of
the Indiana mines idle.
President Frank Harrington of the
Illinois miners announced today that
scale committee would meet in Chi
cago Monday with an operators COM
mitee, and warned the miners under
his Jurisdiction to remain at work.

"a Polish victory" Gen. Weygand told
delegates at Warsaw who had come to

were executed by the Polish generals
according to the Polish plan My role,
as we'll as that of the other French

STREET RET0PP|NG
PLANS ANNOUNCED
Restricting Work Delayed by
, Failure to Secure
Cement.

Four old concrete streets are to be
resurfaced with asphalt at an esti-
mated cost of $4,000. Maj. F. S. Bes-
son. assistant engineer commissioner,
announced today. They are:
Michigan avenue, west of LIST street;
cost, $4,000; Columbia road. Georgia
avenue to Park place, $1,000; 23d
street, street to Kalorama road.
SIS. 800. and Cedar street from 4th to
Carroll streets. Takoma Park, $1,000.
The present concrete surfaces of
thase streets will be patched and the
new asphalt laid on top.
Work Progressing.
The resurfacing Of 14th street from
N street to Rhode Island avenue and
18th streets also probably will be
reached this fall, Maj. Besson stated.
Work on the resurfacing of Benning
road from 18th street east and the
west side of Connecticut avenue from
Calvert street to Cathedral avenue Is
progressing. On Benning road the
curbing is completed and 66 per cent
Of the grading has been done On the
west side of Connecticut avenue the
base and curbing are finished and the
job is now ready for the laying of the
binder.
Difficulty in getting shipments of
cement is still retarding street and
road work, according to Mai. Besson.
At the present time the District has
no surplus supply of this necessary
pfoduct and there are no shipments
en- route, SO far as the engineer de-
partment has been able to learn.
Alley Work Endangered.
AS a result Of this situation eight
alleys in various parts Of the city
that have been graded for smfactng
are in the condition of dirt roads In
the hope that some private contractor
may be more successful in obtaining
cement, the engineer department Is
planning to let these alley projects
out on contract.
Bids probably will be asked for
within a few days for one of the big
gsst road projects of the year-the re-
surfacing of Bladensburg road from L
