the Fordney resolution authorizing

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Prac
tically nc hope was held out here to-
nigh in any quarter here that the
threatened strike in the bituminous
coal fields will DC ayerted.
Representatives, of Tire United Mine
Workers say the machinery FOR the
strike is eli set for action ard that
they sec no prospect that the strike

tainty.
Miners representatives, charge the

intervene and virtually force con-
ference of operators and miners there
Mil be TO further comforting between
the two opposing elements before the
strike begins.
While talk is current of q movement
in Congress to call On the President
to bring tho operators and miners to-

this has rot yet eventuatcd.

to view the present situation as an
effort of operators to force wage de-
hation and he is apprehcnsivc that if
the strike comes it will have serious
consequences. He was not prepared to
say whether he would demand an in
vcstigation of the controversy by the
Education and Labor Committee,
though it would cause no surprise here
if he should do so.
The House Labor Committee Will take
up Thursday the hearings under the
Bland resolution, and it is the under
standing that either President Lewis
OF the United Mine Workers or some
of The leading officials Of that organ;-
cation will be present to give testimony.
One phase of the situation which ls
giving 10 little concern to members Of
Congress and others who are watching
it closely relates to the question of
how far the coal strike. if it comes, will
be accompanied by other strikes and
labor disturbances. The spread OF the
textile strike in New England ls
pointed to as evidence of condition of
unrest which, with the cor3ing of the
coal strike, may develop into wIuc-
spread labor troubles this spring and
