COAL MEETING
FOR SATURDAY
IN WASHINGTON
President Invites Miners and
Operators to Meet at
White House
TO DEVISE METHOD
Decide On NegOtiations-Harding's
Summons is Coincident With Re-
quest for Congressional Action.

Washington, June Z9.-President
Harding took directly in hand yes
terday the settlement of the coal
strike and issued call to operators
and miners of both the bituminous
and anthracite fields to meet with
him at the White House Offices
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.
1--WE will accept the invitation"
announced President John L. Lewis,
of the United Mine Workers of
Aemrica. The operators are expect
ed to accept, although there was no
representative in Washington to
speak for them.
The Presidents proposal is for a
conference, not to negotiate strike
settlement, but to determine basis
upon which negotiations can be in
augurated.
The invitation, in the language of
the White House, is "for n confer
ence to devise methods upon which
negotiations for the settlement of
the coal strike can be initiated
Il takes this turn because of the
insstcnce of the miners that con-
tract be negotiated in Il basic CEN
tral competitive field conference. as
heretofore or in a national confer
ence, while the operators have de-
clared thev would meet the miners
only in district or State conferen-
ces.
The form of the invitation leaves
no ground. it is generally believed.
for anv operator or union official
to decline to attend, and this gives
the country the prospect that actual
steDS toward concluding the strike
will begin Saturday. the dav mark
ing the opening of the fourth month
since the workers ouit the mines.
The point upon which the Prcsi-
dent will seek to bring the miners
and operators into agreement is de-
termination of thr sort Of joint con-
ference in which they can get to-
gcther to tall: settlement. This
really goes to thr heart of the diff
ficultv, for once the two sides meet
the machinery Of adjustment is in
operation. If they disagree. as is
probable. the Government can pro-
pose arbitration. anpoint COM
mission ard supervise on award.
The first and chief thing, therefore,
is 10 bring them face to face.
Efforts to achieve this hv volun-
ta'v action Of the principals having
failed. the President has taken his
own way Of doing it.
MESSAGES embodying the invita-
ton, alike in language except such
changes as were necessary because
Of the different positions of the re-
cipients, were sent 70 President Lo-
wis, Of the mine workers; to 23
district union presidents; 20 a. VI.
Ogle. Tndiananolis, president of
the National Coal Association. and
through him to the bituminous on
o~ators' associations. and S. d.
Warriner Philadelphia, president Of
the general committee on anthra-
cite operators.

Mexico City, June pa Bruce
Bielaski. the American who was
captured several days ago by ban
dts in the state Of MorcIos, was
delivered by his captors to friends
at Chietla yesterday morning, fol,
lowing payment Of a ransom OF
$4,000 in gold.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Bielaski,
with his party, was reported to be
proceeding by train to Mexico City.
He was expected to arrive here
some time last night. According 20
the meager information reaching
the capital. the release OF Mr. Biel-
ask was without untoward incident.
With the Bielaslli kidnapping APP
parently entering its final phase,
attention now is being centered on
the Tampico oil region, where 40
Americans are being held by the
rebel general Gorozave for ransom.
Confirmation of reports that Go
rozave had captured the Americans
reached here yesterday afternoon in
a private message from Tampico.
The message said money for the
ransom of Americans was being
forwarded to Gorozave from Tam
pieo The dispatch did not designate
by whom the money was being sent.
Washington June 20.-The State
Department was advised officially in
message from Charge Summer
lin, at Mexico City, late yesterday
OF the release of A. Bruce Bielaski
Mr.. Summerln said he had received
a telegram from Puenta, Ixtla. near
where Bielaski was captured by
bandits, stating that he was there
"safe and well" and that he was
expected to arrive IN Mexico City
tongiht.
What may have happened TO 40
American employees of the Cortez
OIL Company, captured by rebels
near Tampico and held with, the
company's property for ransom, re-
mained a mystery last night, al
though the rebel raid occurred last
