Therefore Operators Are Expected
 to Resume Work

Washington, July 1s.-Administra ton officials awaited with confidence today the response of state executives and coal operators and miners to the governments determination to secure a resumption Of coal production not withstanding the continued Strike of mine workers.
 Meanwhile plans went forward to put the government fully in a position to fulfill the pledge of "every assist ance at its command" given by Presi- dent Harding in the telegram ad- dressed to the governors of 2s coal states yesterday in which they were called upon by the executive. to give necessary protection and safeguards to men and employees willing to re- sume work. The failure to reach a voluntary adjustment of the present controversy, the president said in his message. made if necessary in the name of the common welfare that operators and miners under assur- ances oi necessary protection be in vited to resume production.
 Both Strikes Related.
 Desplte the reQuCed car Supply, officials were confident that some ad- ditiona supply would result from the governments action. The rail situa- tion showed some improvement today but 1t was evident that the govern ment has decided to obtain a full re- of transportation as well and that high officials see close relation ship between the rail and coal situa- tions.
 Assertion that the presidents mes sage to the governors was merely a which will not produce coal ir any substantial quantity was made in a statement yesterday by John L. Lewis, president of the mine workers and a similar prediction was made by Samuel Gompers.
 Tn the government view however, there was no certainty that the entire mem bership of the miners union would support their leaders in refus- ing arbitration and the possibility or separate. district agreements was ru- m ored here today.
