 SETTLEMENT NOT PROMISING

Cleveland. Aug. S.-(By the A. P)- Exnecta a+ionsof a settlement of the soft coal strike on a national scale vanished tonight among the union officials and operators here for joint conference on peace plans with the receipt of reports of the failure of Indiana and Illinois operators associations to agree to join the conference The hope, however was held out that settlement affecting scattered mines in Illinois, Indiana Ohio and Pennsylvania and possibly West Virginia may result from the con ference which reconvenes here tomorrow afternoon.
 President John L. Lewis of the miners, would reassemble to open negotiations The question, however, of whether the miners would be willing to make a wage agreement with the operators now here was undecided, and indications were that a decision would be deferred until the afternoon meeting tomorrow with the operators. most of whom own mines in Ohio
 A few operators. also are here from Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois.
 While the number of operators here for the conference was increased today no official poll had been taken of th' coal output controlled by them and itI it's absence the union head deferred de cision whether to proceed with a partia peace program
 Confidence, however, was expressed b! some operators and union leaders tha the number of operators willing t make a settlement was sufficient to in sure a break in the strike Some Wes Virginia operators were expected t ] join in the conference, their representa- 1 tives already being here.
 | The Indiana operators refused t | join the conference and the Illinois op
 orators committee adjourned until to morrow without announcing a final dt
 cision. The action in Illinois was re
 garded by some of the conferees here a | indicating the possibility of more Illinoi i operators coming to the conference. IN word had come from operators in trans Mississippi soft coal fields but thei
 attendance was regarded as doubtful.
 . Mr. Lewis declined to comment on tn
 action in Indiana and Illinois. Afte
 receiving word from Alfred NJ Ogl' i president of the National Coal associa
 tion. that the Indiana mine owner
 would not participate in the conference
 the miners president merely announce that the join conference would recor vene tomorrow according to schedule.
