As the conference was called to
order, a strike OF coal miners
on April 1 seemed imminent
In spite of the overtures
made by Lewis who invited OPP
orators of the central competitive
district to meet with miners In Cleve-
land March 2.
Lewis proposed that dates for
committees of unionlsts and opera
tors to treat regarding a new con-
tract In place of the one which ex-
pires March 81, be set at the Cleve-
/ land meeting. At the later confer
ence operators would discuss the
, miners demands of a six hour day
and a five day week.
Unofficial information in the
hands Of Lewis today showed that
operators Of Indiana and Illinois
were willing to meet with the miners
but that owners of Ohio and Penn
/ sylvania still baked.
Attitude Of Ohio and Pennsylvania
operators caused the negotiations be-
tween all operators in this district
set for January 6 to be called off.
Lewis latest feeler has left the
situation unchanged.
The Pittsburgh Coal Producers AS

fusal to meet with miners represent
