HOLD UP RIGHT OF U. 5, STEEL
 STEAMERS

Washington, Jan. 16-The right of the United States Steel Corporation through it's subsidiaries to operate steamers by way of the Panama Can al is upheld in a tentative report sub mitted today to the Interstate Com merce Commission by the examiner designated to take evidence The ex- aminers report, if sustained by the commission, will settle the controver- sy hinging about the point
 Steamship lines operating through the canal, attacked the steel corpora tion's right to participate in the busi- ness on the ground that it was also owner of a number of railroad lines, some of which are engaged in trans continental traffic. Railroad lines so engaged are prohibited by law from entering into direct competition with the ships in the canal trade.
 The examiner decided that none of the corporations railroads could be considered competitors for transcon- tinental business and that the own ership of merchant vessels by the manufacturing industry had not been forbidden by congress-

100000 MINERS SEEK AGREEMENT
 WITH OPERATORS
Present Working Agree ment Expires March 31-Wi11 Be Without Any Wage Rate Unless New Agreement Is Ne gOtiated.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan 16-Approx- imately 100000 soft coal miners, scattered throughout more than twen- ty states, are vitally interested in the question of whether a new wage agreement with the soft coal opera tors will be signed before the end of day from the headquarters of the United Mine Workers Of America here.
 ''The present agreement under pires on March 31,' the statement adds, ''and unless a new agreement % negotiated in time to take effect on April 1, these 100000 miners will find themselves without any kind of wage rates and they will not know what they are to receive for their work in the next two years. some of the members of the United Mine Workers of America are doubtful as to whether a new agreement will be reached but there are many others who say they believe that the coal operators will not allow the first day of April to arrive without wage scale having been agreed upon."
 The union officials are still hopeful that an agreement will be signed be- fore that date. the statement adds.
 When John l.. Lewis, president of the Miners Union, called a meeting of miners and operators for January 6 in Pittsburgh it. was thought that negotiations looking to the working
 
 soon be well on their way" the state ment continues. This meeting was called for the purpose of selecting date and a place for a joint wage con ference field, composed of WesterL Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and IT. linois. But the entire plan was scrap ped by the action of the operators the Pittsburgh district and two larg groups of Ohio operators in refus1n to meet with the representatives o the miners. The operators of Ind ana and Illinois had tentativel. agreed to the meeting, but when tn Pittsburgh and Ohio operators refus ed President Lewis regarded It a useless to hold the Pittsburgh meet ing and he called it off This left tn entire subject of wages and work1n conditions in the mines for the mex two years up in the air.
 Surely the operators will yet mee with the miners and negotiate a wag' agreement. to take the place or tn, one that expires on March 31. Th' public remembers only too well the chaos in industry and business tha, followed the stubborn refusal Of thu operators to meet with the miners 1T 1913, and 1t will not permit the op- orators to force another situation Ikt that one that developed in that year And the miners do not want such thing to happen again
