QUICK TERMINATION OF COAL

Another Incident that strengthened
the rumored conference was the arrival
in the city OF John Moore, legislative
representative OF the United Mine
Workers Of America. Mr.. Moore. who
was formerly president OF the Ohio
miners and known as Lewis diplomatic
representative in number Of impor-
tant matters. refused 10 disclose his

The Pittsburgh Vein Operators As
ISOLATION OF Cleveland has long been
endeavoring to bring about conference
OF the Miners union and the operators
in the old four-state cid in order to
end the strike.
The cniy difficulty has been that not
enough operators OF other states could
be Induced to go into such conference.
This 10 the only reason tho strike has
lasted as long as II has. according to
tho Cleveland operators,
The feeling among local operators Is
that something Is IN the air and that
a srale conference which will settle the
strike IN this territory Is quite possible
in a comparatively short time.
