SOFT COAL CHIEFS
SEE END Of STRIKE
Have Definite Plan Which Is Ex-
pected to Meet Wide Ac-
ceptance
AWAIT OTHER ARRIVALS


Cleveland. Aug. S.-With a definite
program for erding the soft coal strike
ready for consideration tomorrow. the
joint conference of the leaders Of the
striking union miners and coal opera
tors today marked time awaiting the ex.
pectcd arrival Of other operators, espe-
cially those Of Illinois and Indiana. In
addition, operators were expected from
several other States scattered over the
soft coal fields. for the program con-
templntcd settlement on substantally
a national basis.
No sessions of the joint conference
were held today. and while there were
several informal meetings Of both on
orators and union officials. their inter
cSt was centered largely in Chicago and
Indianapolis. where operators we're ex.
pccted 10 determine who would attend
the conference tomorrow.
President John l.. Lewis, of the min
ers. rs also leaders among the opera
tors here, were optimistic regarding the
probability of n settlement. which, II
accomplished. would be followed almost
Immediately by the union asking an
thraCite operators 10 renew the wage
negotiations that were broken off in
June after several weeks of fruitleSs
effort toward n settlement. Mr.. Lewis
had expressed the opinion that this
week will see the end Of the bituminous
coal controversy.
Re. Establish Wages
In brief. the program for settlement
called for establishment Of the wage
contracts that expired last March 81,
eve of the beginning Of the strike that
has continued more than four months,
and also the creation of an advisory
commission Of inquiry. through whose
Influence it was expected that disputes
would be settled without strikes. The
re- established wage contracts would
continue IN force until next April l and
meanwhile the commission would draft
recommendation for future contracts.
Tho "check of system of operators
collecting union dues would remain
through the establishment of the old
contracts, and thepe would be no change
Of working conditions.
Though tho strike may be settled on
a nation wide scale. there is expected
70 remain several thousands OF miners
still on strike. The largest number
would be in Centrn, Pennsylvania, a
partly uniOniZed field where many nom
union mines were shut down by walk
outs that marked the development of
the strike. These miners are those in
Fnyctta. Somerset and WsStmorcland
Counties OF Pennsylvania. The strike
also would be continued in Western
Pennsylvania. where the largest coal
company IN the central field IS not ex-
pected to participate in the conference
here. Likewise. the miners in Southern
Ohio would continue the strike.

FUEL DISTRIBUTION
PLANS BEING MADE

Washington. Aug. s.--CBy \. P.)-
Fuel problems Of New England, the
Middle Western States and various an
gleS Of the railroad situation rs affecting
coGl ,istributlon were M for solution
today before Fuel Distributor Spencer
and the Federal Central Committee
Canncries in Maine and Iowa and their
needs were alSa considered.
Railroad stocks Of coal in tho Md
die Atlantic States We're reported to
hav" sunk very low. these lines not
being as we'll supplied with fuel as
the southeastern roads. The question
Of pr!ortics in westbound traffic over
oaStbOund traffic. especially in the
West Virginia fields. was considered
and efforts are being made to work
out proper right of way for fuel
distribution.
Many industrial concerns throughout
the country are applying to the COM
mittoe direct for fuel. but these re-
quests are being referred TO the State
organizations. TIL" meeting If Penn

and practical. II would conserve the
law. would sacrifice the rights OF
neither party and would save the coun-
try from the further i'll effects OF the
strike. 1t was to be anticipated that
there would be some objection" to 1t on
both sides. but such objections are not
ins,ipcrable. The concurrent condem-
nation of opposite extremes raises Il
suspicion that the President must ,hnvc,
found the safe and sane position OF
fairness and conservatism.
The opinion already expressed by
one executive that the President $
recommendation seem to demand n
complete surrender on the part OF th'
railways and the characterization ot the
proposal by leader Of the employees as
'an uncalled for attempt to help the
railroads break the strike will be haro
TO reconcile in the public mind.
"Thc rising tide of business prosper
ity and the consequent increase of rail-
way traffic. coupled with the. accumu-
latcd shop work resulting from the
strike. will necessitnte the employment
of n greatly enlarged number Of me-
chanics. The other ordinary processes
of readjustment that always follow
strike would likewise operate effectively.
On a very large number Of the roads,
in my judgment, the question or senior
ity would neve. even arise.

rolling stock in need of repairs anu
thus handicap the executives as much
as IL they went on strike themselves.
The leaders of the brotherhoods are
conservative and do not wish to call
strike. There is little doubt that
they desire to have this strike settled as
soon as possible. They also wish TO
prevent the shopmen from being beaten
by the railroads because OF the danger
to the whole cause Of organized LABOR
that would lie in such defeat.
| Under these circumstances the broth
erhood leaders in the conference may be
counted upon to move cautiously ana
with the purpose of bringing about an
end of the strike. The call of the
brotherhood representatives, at the
White House last week was gesture
intended to impress both the railroad
executives and the Administration with
the danger of letting the strike run on.
Real Test Not Yet Made
The conference on Friday is intended
to call attention to that danger more
cmphatically. The real test Of strength
between organized labor and the rail-
road executives has not yet taken place.
And It may very we'll be that. as In the
casc of the coal strike. both sides may
have to feel ench others strength before
compromise can be effected.
The probable ending of the coal strike
will relieve the situation and probably
make it possible for the railroads to
show whether they can break the unions
or not. This consideration will prob
ably influence some of the coal opera :.
tors to accept the terms being arranged
at Cleveland, In taking on two strikes
Mt once. those who believed that the
took too much. If there had been no
coal strike. the shopmen's strike would
have run its course without intervention
by the Government. unless the railroad
brothcrhoods gave their aid to the strik-
erS.
With the coal strike cut Of the way.
the railroads can concentrate upon
keeping coal trains in repair and re-
lieving the present shortage, while they
fight out the issue with their striking
shopmen, always providing that the
brotherhoods do not intervene effec-
lively.
Railroads Show Confidence
What progress the railroads nre max
ing toward replacing the strikers 1t IL
impossible to learn here. Only the most
careful study Of conditions in railroad
yards would make this clear. Th'
propaganda from the railroads woult
indicate that workmen were being easily
obtained. The railroad executives show
confidence. The shopmcn by asking nit
from the brotherhoods indicate that they
are afraid the strike will be broken.
But the real strength Of organized
labor In this contest will not be dis.
closed until after Fridays conference.
The Administration has done all 4
can to end the strike short of seizin;
and operating coal roads. BY his tele
gram to the railroad executives and tt
the shopmen yesterday the President
cleared up the Government position
and removed that conflict between him
self and the War Labor Board of which
the railroad executives made so much il
refusing the Presidents first proposals
If the latest proposal is refused, n

FIRST FOREIGN COAL HERE
italian Ship Arrives at New York
With 10000 Tons From Wales

New York, Aug. Shy A. p
The first large cargo, 10000 tons of
foreign mined coal, to reach New York
as the result of importers efforts TO
stavc off fuel famine among public
utilities corporations. was brought in
today by the Italian steamship Cherca,
from Barry, Wales.
The public utility to whom the coal
was consigned was reported to have
been scratching the bottom Of it's sup
ply bins when the Chorca arrived. From
now on. however, steady stream Of
British mined coal will arrive at this
port, 1t was announced, eliminating the
possibility of fuel famine among
transportation, light and power works,
which have purchased most of the ton
mage now EN- route 10 America.

Pressure on State Properties
One of the outstanding features Of
the proposal is that enabling the Allies
to take 90 per cent of long list OF

project is described as being much more
radical in its treatment of state owned

particularly directed. These possessions
were estimated before the war as being
worth :. .OOO. 900 900 gold marks.
