COAL FARLEY

MAY END Strike
Hopes for Truce Grow as Hard

For Meet.
by International News Service.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 1.-The
end Of the five months strike in
the anthracite fields is expected as
the result of q meeting Of the hard
coal operators general policies com
mittee scheduled for tomorrow.
The solid front which the opera.
tors have maintained Is reported
to be rapidly crumbling after the
virtual surrender Of the operators
demand for arbitration Of the wage
scale and working conditions after
April 1, 1928.
AS the situation stands today. ac.
cording to one OF the spokesmen Of
the operators, peace is now at hand,
but a wealth OF red tapesis still TO
be gone through with.
Although John l.. Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers
Of America, maintains silence, he
may possibly force the operators
into an "abject surrender" on all
points. similar TO that at Cleveland
with the bituminous operators.
Against this possibility Is the
persistent rumor that the mine
workers have acceded to the So
called Pepper proposal laid be-
fore them in Washington, which
is a compromise. II is known that
one Of the reasons for leniency on
the part OF the victorious miners
Is the fact that in the hard coal
fields there were no evictions OF
miners families from company
owned houses.

Director Hill following this dis
missal appealed to the solicitor Of

said he told the solicitor that he Is
violating the law whichever way he
turns.
He said that II he continued to
use power presses the law was being
violated, and that II he continued to
exceed the appropriation the law also
was violated. He also said the use
OF hand presses entirely would result
In the bureau exceeding the appro-
priation. He declared II was neces.
sary to do one or the other.
Mr.. Hill made the following state
ment. which accompanied the fur
Tough order:
"The attached order is in lieu of a

lieved TO be for the best interest of

Director Of the Bureau that we must
operate under the existing appropria-
tion, at least until Congress sees fit
to either increase the appropriation
or to promulgate a new law. It Is In
strict accordance with instructions of
the President in his address at the
second annual meeting Of the Bureau
Of the Budget on July IL, 1922, in
which he said:
There must be utmost economy.
There have been established those
