Try Iron Out Troubles

Cleveland O., Aug. Goal opera
tors and leaders of the striking min
ers met here today in an effort to
reach a wage agreement and end
the walkout in the central competi-
tive field.
John L. Lewis, car of the miners
was hopeful that an agreement
would be reached.
Both sides guarded their plans
carefully as tho conference is pre-
dicted to he the hub around which
tho nationwide wall-out, effective
since April I, will be terminated.
Every word John l.. Lewis uttered
was taken down by his personal ste
nographer. The miner car is guard
ing against being misquoted.
Operators declined to discuss the
pow-wow. Members of the two lac
tions barely nodded to each other.
A conservative estimate today was
that 69,CO0,0O0 Of the 2O7OOO,O0O
tons of coal produced annually by
the central competitive field is
represented.
This estimate, based on 1918 fig
ures, included:
Seventy-fiye per cent Of the 49,
600, 900 tons in Ohio; 10 per cent OF
the 100000 tons of Western Penn
sylvania; 10 per cent of the D,000,
GOO tons of Indiana, and rs per cent
Of the 9O0O0,00O tons of Illinois.
Settlement Indications.
Indications point to an early settle
ment of the dispute They are:
1-Ohio operators point to the FACT
that in the past when single large
employer signed q Gale in a dis
trict. the remainder of the operators
in the district usually signed. The
Ohio operators are certain to make
some agreement with the miners.
2-That the operators of Ohio viii

mean that insurgents who have hel

will continue to have idle mines o

If an immediate agreement

country and sign up with as man
of them as possible.
If they succeed with the majorit

EUROPE GOES ON
PERATING TABLE
m LONDON TODAY
Allied Premiers Meet in Most I'M
portant Session Since Versailles
Peace Conference; Search
FOR Way Out.
FINANCIAL CHAOS is
ONE MAIN OBSTACLE
Pessimism Apparent as Leaders
Gather; France and England
Have Views Directly oppo-
site; Hot Clash Seen.

London, Aug. Europe, stricken
with financial and political ills, went
on the operating table at 10 Downing
street today
Allied leaders, face to face with
the most critical situation since the
war, met at the call of Premier Lloyd
George. The conference of the
premiers is regarded as the most inn
portant since the Versailles peace
conference. 1t is the thirteenth since
the Germans signed the peace treaty
Primary purpose Of the conference
is to find solution TO the situation
caused by financial chaos in Europe.
The crisis is declared by statesmen
the direct result and outcome of the
war.
Pessimism was apparent as the
political leaders of England France,
Belgium and Italy went into confer
ence. Even the most optimistic
doubted whether this meeting would
result directly in remedial measures.
Frought with dangers to the sue
cess of, the conference is the situa-
tion caused by the action of Premier
Poincare in starting reprisals in Al
SAGE and Lorraine because the Ger
mans refused to promise payment of
$1O00O,O00 in prewar debts,
France in taking this step, acted
independently of the allies.
Lloyd George and Poincare stand
directly opposed to each other in the
matter of dealing with the German
problem England is willing and
| thinks it absolutely necessary for
stability of Europe, to be lenient
with Germany and to grant mora
torium.
The discussion Of war debts is an
other subject which will engage the
old world statesmen. Airing Of the
proposal Of Great Britain that its
allied debtors make partial payments
of war obligations so that England
may pay the United States is bount
to come, observers believe.
Besides Lloyd George, the British
delegation included Lord Curzon, for
eign minister; Sir Robert Horne
chancellor of the exchequer; Auste1
chamberlain, government leader il
the commons, and Sir Worthingtol
Evans, minister of war. Premie
Poincare and Count DeLasteyrie
finance minister, represented France
Premier Jasper and Finance Ministe
Theunis came from Belgium, AM
Foreign Minister Schanzer an
Finance Minister Paratore from
Itait.
Japan will also have an observer
1t was understood that Lloy
George would advocate a moratorium
for Germany until 1924, but it
likely that he would accept a con
1 promise of a moratorium until tn
S end of the year if he can persuad
r Premier Poincare to temporaril
e abandon reprisals started agains
