HARD|NC'S GOOD OFFICES MAY
Be ENLISTED TO HEAD OFF COAL
STRIKE DUE AT MIDNIGHT

Washington, Mar 30-The wisdom
Of asking President Harding to in
Nite representatives of miners and
operators to meet here tomorrow in
an eleventh hour effort to call off the
coal strike was considered today by
the House labor committee, but
without action being taken.
Believing there was hope of pre-
venting the shutdown in all fields set
for tomorrow at midnight, two mem
bers of the committee proposed that
the president be requested to take a
hand and for a time it appeared as
if a resolution looking to this end
might be adopted. Word had come
from the Senate, meanwhile, that
Chairman Borah of the Senate labor
committee, had such proposition In
mind and the House committee went
at once to suggest joint action.
Chairman Borah explained, how
ever. that members of the committee
had not been advised as to such a
vote. that he did not feel at liberty
to take up the question alone and it
pr badly would be best to let the
question go over He intimated that
he might call his committee to con-
slider it later.
Returning to its own meeting
place. the House committee dis
cussed resolutions pre- scented by rep
resentatives London, Socialist, New
York and Cpshaw, Democrat Geor-
ga. Both, similarly drawn, were
laid on the table.
The Presidents aid in trying to
bring the miners and operators to-
gether was suggested after DR..
