general public, official Washington
settled back tonight to await the
event with considerable calmness.
In final White House discussion
it was said that governments long
negotiation with the parties to the
controversy and continuous study of
the industry's production volume had
convinced the administration that
immediate intervention. in legal or
extra legal ways. would be futile and
unnecessary, and that while the fu-
turc might sharpen tie breach be-
tween employer and employee in the
mining camps, for the present even
action looking to the preservation of
peace was unnecessary.
President Harding was urged dur
ing the day by a delegation repre-
senting the Protestant Federal Coun-
ell Of Churches of Christ and the Ma
tional Catholic Welfare Council TO
make further attempt to get operat
tors and miners together and to set
up a commission to adjust their diff
ferences. At the White House. how
ever. it was said. later, that no action
was advisable at this time.

elsewhere, where operators asserted

mated that approximately 5000
miners were considering staying on

notwithstanding the national orders
for walking out.

According to reports given ou: 20

downward course, especially as Liv

and there was continued moist weather
in the domestic winter corn belt.
Lack of support for wheat was par
ticularly apparent near the end of the
