tlement Of the soft coal strike on
national scale vanished tonight among
the union officials and operators here
for a Joint conference on peace plans
with the receipt Of reports or the talI
ure OF Indiana and Illinois operators
associations 10 agree to join the CONFER
ence. The hope. however. was held out
that settlement affecting scattered
mines In Illinois, Indiana. Ohio and
Pennsylvania and possibly West Fir-
SinIa may result from the conference
which reconvens here tomorrow after
noon.
President John l. Lewis OF the min
ers, announced that the joint confer
ence would reassemble TO open nesotia-
tions The question, however. OF
whether the miners would be willing
TO make q wage agreement with the
operators now here was undecided ana
indications were that decision ~ouio
be deferred until after the afternoon
meeting tomorrow, with the operators
most OF whom own mines In Ohio. A
few operators also are here from Penn

while the number OF operators here
for the conference was Increased to-
day. no official poll had been taken OF

In It's absence the union has deferred
a decision on whether TO proceed win

by some operators and union leaders
that the number OF operators willing 10
make a settlement was sufficient to IN
sure a break in the strike. Some west
virginia operators were expected TO
join In the conference. their represen-
tatlves already being here.
The Indiana operators refused 10 JOIN
the conference and the Illinois opera
tors conference adjourned until tomor-
row without announcing a final deci-
sion.
Expect More Confress
The action IN Illinois was regarded
by some Of the confrees here as indi-
eating the possibility Of more Illinois
operators coming to the conference. NO
word has come from operators In trans
Mississippi soft coal fields. Mr.. Lewis
declined 10 comment on the action In
Indiana and Illinois. After receiVeing
word from Alfred NJ. Ogle. that the IN
