NEW YORK, July 25.-Claiming
that President Harding's effort to
resume coal mining under protec-
ton of troops has been a failure,
President John L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers has proposed
a joint conference with the opera
tors to negotiate settlement of the
coal strike.
Not a single union miner has
been forced to return to work by
"the assembling and parading of
engines of war" Lewis declared.
Winter Is coming on with no pros

ing except through a settlement of
the strike, he said. Therefore. he
announced. that the miners are will
ing and anxious to settle the strike
SO that enough coal can be dug be-
fore cold weather to prevent a fuel
crisis. But the settlement must be
general and not by districts as the
operators desire. Lewis insisted.
Ready to Meet Operators.

RANGED in harmony with the con-
tractual obligations OF the coal
companies and in line with the pro-
cedure which has prevailed in the
industry for more than a quarter
of a century" Lewis said. The
adjustment of a national strike in
this industry cannot be accom-
plished through State or district
settlements. No district conferences
or agreements will be sanctioned
by the mine. workers organiza ton.
The mine workers representative
will hold themselves in readiness to
respond to any logical project for
an agreement"
