The new scale, it was indicated, will
be based on the 1920 wage scale and
continuation of the check off system.
Termination of the strike on the
basis of such an agreement would be
heralded as a victory by both sides.
Mine workers declared their walk
out was in protest against any other
than the 1920 scale and discontinue
ance of the check off system. Opera
tors on the other hand asserted the
agreement would be for state IN
stead of national, and that in view OF
their protests against a national
agreement they could claim victory
in principle.
Both sides predicted that an agree
ment here will be followed by similar
agreements in other bituminOus fields
This. it was believed, will be the ma
tural result as soon as other opera
tors realize that the first mines to
open will enjoy the cream OF the
market.
The sub-scale committee probably
will not report to the general confer.
ence until late today or Saturday. If
an agreement is authorized by the
conference, it will be signed imme-
diatelv and orders flashed to union
officials to call their men back into
the mines.
Meantime the conference awaited
word from Toledo where group OF
Illinois operators conferred with w.
A. Glasgow counsel for the mine
workers. Illinois operators as a body
are undecided about joining in the
Cleveland parley.

Chicago, Aug. 11.-What threatens
to be the greatest shutdown of in
dustrials in the history of the state
started today as the coal shortage
started to pinch.
Reports received here indicated
that factories, public institutions and
public utilities all over the state were
beginning to close their doors.
More than 100000 workers in Chi,
cago faced unemployment as the coal
pile shrunk. Already three factories,
employing close to 1000 men, have
been forced to cease operation, ac-
cording to the Illinois manufacturers
association.
The coal supply on hand will last
only eight days more, the manufac-
turers association declares. Although
many companies have a larger sup

ply, the average is only days. More
than 100 companies have reported no
coal.
Scores of industries are buying
coal from day to day, as they need
it, the association declared. Enormous
prices are paid for this fuel.
Washington. Aug. 1.-The Presi
dental Coal Commission today was
trying to work out a way Of assur-
ing operators who ship coal through
the lakes to the Northwest against
loss of money. Cleveland operators
conferring with the commission de-
clared thew were unwilling to put coal
into the Lake Traffic unless they
were adequately safeguarded against
losses they claim they incurred in
1920. In that year. the operators said
much of the coal they shipped to the
Northwest was lost through recon-
signment and diversion and they were
not able to collect their money.
c. f. Tuttle, advisor to Fuel Dis
tributor Spencer on the Lake situa-
ton, attended the conference today.
