Then. after further bombarding,

Washington, July 17.-Bituminous
coal mine operators, representing as
sociations of employers in all the
principal producing districts in the
United States, went into a final ses-
sion last night to consider what re-
Spouse they should make to Presid-
ent Harding's offer of arbitration to
settle the existing strike.
The response of the miners union,
declining the offer, was made to
President Harding Saturday, while
anthracite operators had previously
announced their acceptance. This
leaves the bituminous group of en-
ployers the only one of the three
parties whose position has not been
formulated. Whether the bltumlnous
operators could come 10 an agree

One influential group among the
bituminoEs employers was adyocat-
ing a complete acceptance Oh the
Presidents proposal in advance OF
the formal session. Though cOnced-
ing to the argument of their assoeia--
ties that the Governments offer had
raised many difficulties in the indust-

ton of Pittsburgh district employers
who contended that acceptance OF a
national arbitration was impossible
for them, though district arbitration
would be acceptable TO all employers
There was a suggestion here that no
formal answer should be made TO the
President covering details, but that
the refusal of the miners to arbl-
trate should be taken as final, and
the employers should simply announce
their desire to cooperate with the
Government in any new endeavor or
grapple with the task Of opening
mines now closed by the strike on a
non-union basis.
There were all forms of intermed-
late views expressed, and in addition
an insistent suggestion that the en-
ployers place their mines and work
ing organizations directly at the dis
Dosal of the Government.
This last course was based on the
frequently advanced suggestion that
the Government take over the
mines" To date there have been no
official statements that such step
was being contemplated, except IN
the ultimate emergency.

sion that John l.. Lewis, president OF

tion offer which the union refused

Washington, July 17.-With the

tives of the striking coal miners to
accept the proposal Of President
Harding for the appointment of a
commission to adjust the grievances
between the miners and the opera
tors and the latter to resume opera
tionS Immediately, the country Will
watch with the greatest interest the
next move on the part of the nation
al government in dealing with this
serious situation.
There is no doubt that the time
has come for someone to act in the
present controversy, and the PreSi-
dent has insisted all along that he
would take drastic measures Just as
soon as the situation demanded such
steps Ii is believed that this Sltua-
tiou has now arrived and if the coun-
try and the public are to be spared
from a coal famine and untold hard
ships during the coming winter
months, coal mining. both anthracite
and bituminous, will have to be re
Sumed and resumed as speedily as pos
Sible. The supply at present is moth
ing like the demand and as the win
ter months come on this demand will
increase a hundred fold. Seizure by
the government and operation Of
what are known as the "key" mines
seems inevitable if the miners and
operators cannot come to some sort
of an agreement which will result
