Strike Order
 May Follow Wage Refusal

Indianapolis, Feb. 4 Possibility of demands for increased wages for soft coal miners, backed up with ac- ton favoring a strike. rested tonight with the two thousand delegates gath ering here for the special convention of the United Mine Workers of America, which begins tomorrow. The Unions scale committee report, which the delegates may accept, re- ject or modify, was understood to favor no general increase of basic wage scales, and to submit no recom- mendation to a strike. The dele gates, however. are free to act, com rnitteemen said.
 While the miners course will be made definite by the convention. their general policy is already known as likewise that of many operators. in various parts of the country, who not only ask wage reductions, but also refuse to continue the collective bar gaining movement with the union. This refusal, provoking an unpre- cedent situation since the beginning g of collective bargaining in the coal industry, virtually sets the threaten ed strike date for April l, for union officials point out that the absence of a fixed date for conference with operators terminates the provisions of present agreements requiring con- ttnued work pending negotiations over the wage scale.
