President to Attempt Compro-

Commission

washington. Mar. 12.-An effort to
compose the differences between the
majority and minority of the bitumi-
nops coal strike commission will be
made BY President Wilson, it was said
today at the White House.
Officials said that neither the ma.
iority or minority report would be
made public if there was probability
of bringing the members of the COM
mittee to an agreement on their prin-
eipal differences-the amount of the
wage advance and the hours of work.
John L, Lewis, president of the Uni
ted Mine Workers of America, who
hurried here last night fro mNew York
where he has been attending the an
thracite wage conference, conferred
today with Mr.. White and William
Green, secretary of the miners union,
familiarizng himself with the facts.
The failure of the majority to rec
Ommend improved working conditions
proved disappointment to the min
ers, it was said, as this had been one
of the chief demands of the men.
Officials said today that John p.
White, the miners representative had
held out for six hour day through
out the negotiations between the com
missioners in an effort to reach
unanimous agreement The miners
originally demanded a six hour day
and five days a week.
