CONFERENCE TODAY ON
 ANTHRACITE SITUATION


 Washington, July 5.-While settle ment of the -bituminous coal strikes ap- peared tonight to hinge on the meeting the operators and miners are expected to have with President Harding Monday, an- other conference of the parties to the anthracite situation will be held tomor- row. It was expected that Secretary Fall would again meet with the miners union officials and mine owners repre- sentatives, but the impression was that the session might be inconclusive.
 Though neither bituminous operators nor the officials of the miners union as- sf1bled had power to make binding deci- sions for their associates, the anthra. cite conference, as summoned by Presi- dent Harding constituted actually 2 joint wage negotiating group. ] s. D. Warriner, chairman of the gen. eral committee of anthracite operator: and Philip Murray, vice president of the , United Mine Workers of America, let the respective delegations which met Sat urday empwored to make wage settle ment, and are expected to do, so agair tomorrow All indications preliminar! to the meetings were that the union con 1 tingent would offer to negotiate a nev wage contract on the general basis scale existing March 31 while the operations asking reduction of wages, would tende arbitration at the hands of Presiden Harding as means of settling differenc es.
 The bituminous conferees, adjourne until Monday, have merely power to sug gest action to their associates in the min ing districts and the unions. and so ia have definitely failed to agree on any thing for the purpose
 President Harding on his return Sal urday will be given full reports froi Secretary Hoover and Davis on wha has transpired in the executive gather ings. Further government action, 1t va assumed, will be determined after th information thus assembled has been d gested.
