 Another course favored by some Of the mine owners was to furnish the commits sion whatever information it might ask. but with the expressed understandine that the operators would not consider themselves bound by the conclusions of the commission.
 The position of the operators outside the competitive field in the proposed settle ment also is doubtful, it was asserted by F. w. Lukins of Kansas City, president of the Southwestern Interstate Coal Op orators association. Although only repre- sentatives of the central competitive field were invited to the hearing Monday, the attitude of operators outside the central field will be considered tomorrow.

OPERATORS BEGIN CONSIDERATION OF
 POLICY OF FUTURE
By Associated Pres.

Washington, January 9.-The policy of the bituminous coal operators in the set tlemehI of the coal strike issues and shc attitude to be assumed toward the coni- mission of three appointed by President Wilson to investigate wages and prices, was considered today at meeting here of the wage scale committee of the cen- tral competitive field, which was pre- liminary to the opening Monday by the commissions hearings at which both miners and operators will appear
 Although no announcement was made after todays meeting, it was learned thar refusal to accept the commission as now constituted was advocated by some of the operators who have heretofore publicly charged that the body would begin it's wor.E with commitments.
 Most of the operators agreed tbat de- claration of their stand Should be made before the worl. of the commission gets under way. That this declaration would be either flat refusal to deal with the present commission or a statement of the operators willingness to cooperate with reservations" appeared probable tonight.

ORDERS DECLARING STEEL STRIKE OFF
 CAME YESTERDAY
Will Have No Effect In Birmingham District as No Steel Workers
 Are On Strike

Finis was written yesterday to the story of the steel workers strike in Birmingham. It never amounted to much at any time. and within 10 days after it began last September, the only evidence that it had ever existed here was the presence in Birmingham of a representative of the national organiza- tion, who for a time gave out daily statements as to its progress.
 From the day the strike began the plants supposed to have. been affected by it showed increased production, which kept up for several weeks there after.
 E. S. Ingram, who came here to con- duct the strike yesterday received in- structions from the national headquar- ters that the strike had been officially called off and authorizing the members of the union to return to work at their old places
 So far as it affects Birmingham, how ever, the orders received yesterday amount to nothing. There are no strik- CTS here to returnFto work, and the steel mills and other plants against which the strike was called have been and are now employing about all the men they can use.
