called by Pres't Harding and ad-
monished 20 reach a basis for nego-
tiating a settlement OF the strike
with measurable prOmptness.

Production Decreases.
Bituminous coal production IN
districts operating Notwithstanding
the miners strike showed a slight
falling off last week on account or
railroad congestion the geological
survey reported sunday. The fig
ure OF 1851. 900 tons reached by the
output for the week ending June
224, Il was said was not likely TO
be exceeded by the later period to-
tails. though anthracite production
which was completely stopped by
the walkout April I, recovered very
slightly and furnished railroads ap-
proximately $4,000 tons for ship
ment during the week.
The continued expansion OF
nno-union coal production I'm certain

were available. temporary embargoes

forced during periods of the week

cleared.
Further gains i'm output are not
to be expected the survey COM
mented except as mines hitherto
closed by the strike resume opera
tion
Railroads however, were again
clearing their lines toward the end
or the week and on Thursday. the
latest day reported 16.411 cars Of
coal were loaded compared with Is
T69 on Wednesday Considering
the practically complete stoppage
OF anthracite and the partial stop

survey estimated that the quantity
OF fuel now being mined was be-
