statement declaring that the attitude
of the coal operators of the central
competitive field has not been changed
by any person in authority since they
agreed to a plan similar to that pro-
posed by President Wilson for settling
the miners wage controversy, Phil III.
Penna. spokesman for the operators in
the wage negotiations for the past few
months, yesterday indicated that the
operators will abide by the decisions
of the commission appointed by the
president to arbitrate prices and
wages.
Mr.. Penna stated that the presi-
dents plan for appointment of COM
mission differed in some details from
the plan agreed upon by the operators
and expressed the belief that opera
tors should have been consulted before
it was presented to the miners He
said, however, that it agreed in prin-
ciple with the resolution adopted by

but Operators Hope for Peace
full Settlement of Trouble

Of the coal industry is "cOurted" by
the operators, it was asserted last
night. The executive committee of the
bituminous operators association issu-
ed statement replying to the declara-
ton last night by Attorney General
Palmer that the government would not
assume that the operators will break
faith and intimating that ways would
be found to keep faith in the coal
strike settlement.
The executive committees statement
announced that a general meeting of
mine owners from all parts of the
United States had been summoned to
consider the situation arising from
settlement of the strike.
1.-THE coal operators are wholeheart-
eddy eager TO have come out of this
controversy program that will be
and that will insure in
dustrial peace" the statement said.
1.-THE miners and the operators have
President Wilson's letter
of December in different ways.
Because of this fact and the rapid
changes in the situation during the
past two weeks, it has been impossible
to keep the coal operators fully adj
vised. The executive committee there
fore feels that it is imperative to call
4 meeting of the representatives of the
operators from the several coal fields,
from Pennsylvania to as far
vest as the state of Washington.
SIN the meantime, steps have already
leen taken to gather such facts and
statistics as may be necessary for a
ull. presentation of the operators

British and French Premier
 Reach Agreement

Aix Les Baines, Sept. 13.-Premier Giolitti is going back to Italy highly gratified with the results of his con ference with M. Millerand, the French premier, "the results of the conference greatly improved Franco Italian relations" he said to the As sociated Press tonight.
 The outstanding feature of the conference is the great satisfaction of both French and Italians that the occasion afforded check to the ten- dency of the two allies to seperate action and of the two peoples to- ward reciprocal suspicion.
 Though the premiers did not set tie any question in detail, they are declared to have reached an under standing that will prevent further friction. France goes long way to satisfy Italy's desires regarding the disposal of the Austrian merchant marine. Concessions agreed to on other economic uestions, such as raw materials, contributed largely to the good feeling of the Italian delega- tion.
 The joint official declaration is- sued this evening by Premiers Mil lerand and Giolitti at the conclusion of the two days meeting of the pre- miers says:
 "The Italian and French premiers have exchanged their views in mos, confident and amicable spirit con cerning the European situation, as we'll as the political and economic relations between France and Italy They are happy to note the general community of interests of the two countries, interests which can easily be reconciled."
 Premier Giolitti will leave for Ita ly tomorrow morning. M. Millerant leaves for Geneva in the evening.
