The agreement. it was said, would
provide for establishment of the wage
scales that were effective last April
and the new contract would run until
next March 81. All details of the agree

miners and operators and the actual
draft of the contract was left to sub

1t was also decided to establish a
fact finding commission OF advisory

operators, with the personnel to be ap-
proved by the President.

would call off the conference OF Cover
nors of five coal producing States that
was to have met here to consider the

that he would withdraw Ohio militia
men, who were sent into the coal fields
recently.
The agreement TO the principles Of the

and miners after rne conference had
been marked earlier in the day by the
withdrawal OF three operators. who were
said TO control between 100000 and
Is. 600. 900 tons of annual coal produc-
ton. With their retirement, the con-
ference reorganized by calling In oper-

cede to a demand for compulsory arbi-
tration of future disputes.
The terms OF the settlement mark a
breakdown in the system Of collective
bargaining that has grown up in the
soft coal industry since 1884. 1t means
the abandonment for the present at least
OF the central competitive field, COM
prising western Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indi-
ana and Illinois. as the basis for fixing

CLEVELAND. Aug. 14.-Folowing the
agreement of the anthracite coal oper
ators and representatives of the United
Mine Workers meeting in Philadelphia,
President John l.. Lewis, with Vice
President Philip Murray OF the mine
resumption Of work in the hard coal
fields within the next ten days.
In view OF the many disappointmen:s
that have followed the conference at
tempts to get tangible results Mr. Lewis
stated this evening that he believed a
meeting between the anthracite operators
and union representatives on Wednes-
day would rapidly develop a basis OF
understanding that will lead to a re-
sumption of mining.
Not only do the mine workers Off
cials here believe that peace viii be
tablished In the anthracite regions but
they are also emphatic in declaring that
such a settlement will have widespread
effect on bituminous operators who are
now refusing to enter any conference
that seeks to make basis wage set
tlement for the four State central COM
petitive field. and who further will not
consider the check off as one OF the
principal points at issue.
Would Relieve East.
A resumption at the anthracite mines
would quickly relieve the coal shortage
in the East, and would in a great meas
ure take the place OF bituminous coal
In that part of the country.

strike Trouble Spreads.

Spread OF the strike trouble into
northern California also was reported.
The orney-General's report of the
Riverbank meeting said that delegates
of brotherhood locals on the Santa Fe
coast valley lines division decided to
walk out because their lives were en-
dangered by defective equipment and by
the prospect OF outbreaks due to the
presence OF guards. Brotherhood MEM
berS stressed the danger of gun play"
The Department of Justice received
other reports of scheduled joint meet
fngs of railroad workers elsewhere in
the West, and Is prepared to take court
action IL the facts Justify II.
Attorney-General Daugherty appeared
disturbed by the latest developments In
the rail strike situation. He was In
touch by long distance telephone with
Federal district attorneys at points In
the West where further trouble seemed
imminent. Mr. Daugherty said the De-
partment was keeping its investigators
on the alert to detect conspiracy In
any quarter OF the rail brotherhoods.
1t was believed that the Attorney
General would have reports tomorrow
from district attorneys In the area af-
fected by walkouts- These and other
reports will be laid before the Cabinet
when il resumes discussion OF the
strike problem.

Other Problems sci Astuc.
Many of the major problems before
the Department before the strike crisis
have been sidetracked. Department
advisers previously engaged in the
preparation of important departmental
opinions have been forced 10 delay
work on such matters by new and more
pressing duties imposed by strike de-
velopments.
