President Calls
Coal Operators
to Washington
Harding Invites Mine Owners
to Farley With Miners Rep
resentatives on Wage
Conference.

Washington. June 2s.-President
Harding has decided TO summon to
Washington Saturday a group Of
representative coal operators from
all parts Of the United States to dis
cuss with representatives OF the min
ers' union the possibility OF con-
ference to fix wage scales that would
settle the coal strike.
An announcement explaining the
proposal will be made later in the
day. The arrangements were COM
pleted after conferences at the White
House today in which Secretaries
Davis and Hoover participated, while
John L. Lewis. president OF the
United Mine Workers, who saw the
president Monday. remained in the
White House ior the purpose Of con-
sidering the matter.
To Assemble at 10 A. M.
The coming conference, which, If
is understood. will assemble at 10
O'Clock Saturday, will discuss solely
what steps may be taken to get the
wage negotiations on loot. To date
the miners union has demanded a
national conference, while operators
in general, refusing to enter such a
gathering, have countered with pro-
posals to meet in district conferences
for separate district wTage-iixlng.
Neither Side Yields.
No nfficisI or authoritative indica-
ton, however. was given that the
meeting President Harding is expect
ed to call would find either party to
the controversy yielding its stand
as to the type OF conference which
finally would be accepted. The
gathering Saturday will be entirely
informal and devoted to discussing
what sort Of basis might be adopt
ed TO bring the union officials and
the employers representatives into a
Joint negotiation empowered to TX
a definite wage agreement, the agree
ment to be either single national
contract or a various number OF sep
arate district contracts.
President Lewis, who waited at
the Department Of Labor while
Secretary Davis, in conference with
the president, arranged the final de-
tails Of the Saturday meeting an
nounced that mine union representa-
tives would respond to the appeal OF
the president ior a preliminary con-
ference.

BY GEORGE F. AUTHIER.

Washington Correspondents om2he 0oe.
Washington, June 2S.-(Special
Telegram.)-Joseph C. Reavis Of
Falls City, Neb., nephew OF iormer
Representative Reavis, and secretary
to Frank A. Harrison, commissioner
OF the Brazilian Exposition cornmis-
SION, today resigned from the COM
mission. Mr.. Reavis frankly sd-
mitted that his action is a protest
against the position taken by Mr..
Harrison in the row which for the
time being has practically disrupted
the commission. Mr.. Harrison was
appointed upon the accommodation
OF former Representative Reavis.
Mr.. Reavis, in resigning today,
said that he did so with regret, but
inasmuch as the State department
has not yet adjusted matters, he did
not care to remain in his position,
where his presence might be inter
preted as support OF the position
taken by Mr.. Harrison. He said that
his sympathies were wholly with the
other members OF the commission,
who are asking the resignation OF
the Nebraska commissioner.
The members OF the commission
expressed regret over the resignation
Of Secretary Reavis and express their
hearty approval OF him and COM
mend his work highly. Mr.. Reavis
will spend a short time IN New York
and will later return to Nebraska.
The charges and counter-charges
made by Mr.. Harrison against the
commissioners and by the commits
sioners against Mr.. Harrison are be-
ing investigated by the State depart
ment. An auditor is going over the
books. For the time being work n
connection with the Brazilian expo
sition is being held up and the ste
cess OF the American exhibit there,
