He hopes. barring mishaps. 10

although hard and fast driving will
be necessary TO make II.
For a hundred miles today the
route led through the mountains,
which made for slow progress. The
President planned when ne left here
to reach Hagerstown, Md. for a late
lunch at the country club and to be
In Washington for dinner.
1t is believed a number Of tele.
grams received by the President here
last night prompted his decision to
press on to Washington as early and
as speedily as possible today. Among
the messages were several from Sec,
retary Of Commerce Herbert Hoover

The President will not carry out
his implied threat OF Government

effort to get the operators and
miners to agree has failed. But
once convinced that these efforts
have failed, 1t was said today BY
those close to him that he will moi

sterner action at which he so plainly
hinted one week ago today wher
he convened the peace conference
at the White Hous.
