Except for minor differences. tho

INDIANAPOLIS. April 1O.-The
government is prepared to make an
other effort to bring coal operators
and leaders OF the striking Miners to-
Scthcr
This was the Interpretation OF the
appearance here OF Attorney General
Harry p. Daugher,y.
The Attorney-Generalw wns in con-
ference with Federal Judge A. B.
Anderson and L. Bert Slack, special
Federal prosecutor. Monday on the
question of dismissing the indic,-
ments against o25 operators and
union leaders, charging conspiracy
20 control the coal industry. These
indictments have heen pointed TO by
the operators OF the central COM
pctitive field as the reason they can
not meet with the union leaders for
a discussion OF new wage scale.
Following the conference, the At
torncy-Gencral seemed less coRfidcn
OF any Immediate action being taken
than he was when il started. 1t is
understood that Judge Anderson
and Prosecutor Slack opposed the
idea Of dismissing the indictments.
Il was Daugherty's plan, IL was
stated, to make a perfunctory motion
before Judge Anderson here to have
the indictments Quashed. After two
hours spent in conference. his state
n.cnts to newspaper men were still
more guarded as TO any possible
chance OF action.
Seeking Full Information.
The government is desirous OF
getting all the information about
these criminal suits, and am trying
to get the entire story OF the wage
scale discussions that resulted in the
indictments" he said. 81 am look

The more I study the history OF
the relations of the coal operators
and the miners. the more / realize
that these strikes come around as
regularly as circus, but without
half the fun to the people that "A
circus brings"
1t is believed that Judge Anderson
cmphatically opposed dismissal Of
the suits on the grounds that the al
legged conspiracy OF the central com
petitive field operators and union
leaders. through which the perators
in these fields were alleged to be.
able TO control prices. has existed
