DEFINITE PLANS EXPECTED
FOR STRIKE SETTLEMENT

Washington. July 6.-Pendng the
outcome of next Mondays meeting of
bituminOus coal operators and miners
union officials, ii was considered i'm
probable that any conclusive action
toward settlement of the anthracite
controversy would be taken at the
second meeting today of that branch
of the conference called by President
Harding to consider means Of settling
the strike in union coal fields.
Indications were. however. that
definite settlement proposals would be
advanced by both sides in the anthra-
cite conference, which unlike the bi-
luminous negotiators. having powers
merely 10 suggest action by their as
sociates, constitutes actually Joint
wage negotiating group. 1t was be-
lieved the union contingent was pre-
pared 10 offer 10 negotiate a new wage
contract on the general basis of scales
existing March 81, while the operators
asking reduction of wages. would
propose arbitration by President
Harding as a means of settlement.
