Pursglove Says Strike Over.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug 1

n CLEVELAND, ONO, aug o
-(By the Associated Press) =
A wage scale was ready TO-DAY LOT
the signing Of operators and min,
ers of the bituminous fields ana
prospects we're that some mines
would be opened on WEDNESDAY.
Formal ratification was set for
the afternoon, the conferees meet
ing together at 2 p N.
All details Of the scale were
approved in principle by both
SIDES before the drafting Of a
stentatye understanding which
was described today by both sides
as the entering wedge in the sort

tract it so continue in force until

consider future settlements OF dis
putes in the coal industry
The settlement came after
week spent in marking time here
byj operators and miners. Final
". the showdown on the issue OF
compulsory arbitration resulted
in the operators withdraw1ng from
the conference when Presloent
Lewis refused to accede to the
demand. Then the conference re-
organized and threw the doors
open to all soft coal operators. A
Quick agreement in principle fol
lowed with operators controlling
production Of great amounts OF
coal.
The operators in the meeting
have mines in Ohio, West Virgin

nois and Michigan Orders went
forward from these operators mere
today to their bosses back home
to get ready to speed up coal pro-
duction. Miners, too, we're conf
