PRESIDENT PLACES ARBITRATION PLAN

posed. the President said, should "In- sestigate exhaustively every phase of the coal industry" and reveal every cost of production and transporta- tion. Congress would, be asked. it was added, to make appropriations to finance and use its work.
 T have taken this short cut to the resumption of operations because l believe 1t Is in the interest of the public welfare" tho President cor cluded. When two great forces do not agree there must be a peace ful way to adjustment. and such ar- bitration opens the way"
 He enjoined all participants to give the proposal consideration in sepa- rate conferences and this was done immediately. The miners formulated their temporary answer in a letter explaining that the national offi- cers and district presidents called to the meeting were without au- thority to act"
 Lewis silent
 John L. Lewis. president of the union said the officers would not dis cuss the recommendation they might make to the full policy comr:ittee, which has 126 members, but ex. plained that 1t had full power to act.
 Chairman Ogle, after various de- Alterations with his associates, the bituminous operators. declared that the general arbitration plan had not been voted on and that an answer to the President might be delayed He declared that "one week arc the bituminous operators represented had submitted a program of arbitration by districts to the miners union of- ficials in the conference" and 1t had been refused The employers. like wise, had acceded to the govern ments suggestion that comfaittee of miners and operators be set up to mark out the districts.
 '.It is utterly impossible that one board--can consider the difficulties and conditions in these far flung bi- luminous fields" he asserted in a statement to newspaper men, ''and make up a wage scale in any reason- able time. That is why we suggested several boards of arbitration, to con- slider differences in districts, where they arise. Bitumlnous coal Is mined all the way from Washington state to Alabama. We think the only way to arbitrate Is to have the arbi.- ators sitting there"
 for their declaration that they did not have power to give the President an answer without the vote of the policy committee, and this likewise drew a retort from Mir. Lewis who said he and his Associates had made their position clear from the start.
