mittee of anthracite miners and oper-
ators met behind locked doors today
at the Union League Club.
The committee was composed of
eight men, four miners and four op-

retary. John L. Lewis, president of
the international organization of
United Mine workers, headed the
miners delegation. The spokesmen
for the operators was S. D. Warriner,

Company.
Upon the conference will depend
whether the 100000 anthracite work
ers shall proceed with their 100000
brethren in bituminous fields and
prepare to drop their tools April l,

Mr., Lewis.

that tn general strike will be called

Representatives of the operators
declined to make any predictions as
to the outcome. They continued to
maintain strict secrecy concerning the
program of wage reduction which
they will offer as the basis for new
contract, as opposed to the wage de-
mands of the miners.

CAUSES A DEFICIENCY
Postoffice Department Is
Unable to Garry 1t

OBy Associated Press)

Washington, March 23-Responsi-
bility or deficits incurred by the post
office department in the handling of
the mails is attributed largely to the
parcel post system, according to data
collected by the joint postal commits
sio (which has been conducting ma
tionwide investigation into the cost
of the handling of all classes of mail
matter. Conclusions of the commits
sion are to be incorporated in report
to be submitted to congress next fall,
after further Investigations have been
completed, it was announced today.
Members of the commission and Of
ficials of the postoffice department
declared the parcel post to be indis-
pensable to the country but asserted
that some system should be devised to
establish it on paying basis. The
commission has not yet determined
finally, it was said, to what extent the
postal deficit is attributable to the
parcel post, but the fact that its op-
eraion had made inroads into postal
appropriations fbad caused concern
for some time, officials said.
The joint commission, created by
congress to investigate postal condi-
tions throughout the country with a
view to suggesting and recommends
ing needed improvements and extern
sions of service, has held hearings in
various cities, principally at con-
gested postal centers like Chicago,
Philadelphia and New York. 1t has
been found, it was explained, that
conditions in New York and Phila-
delphia, especially, were most unsat-
isfactory, and should be strength
ened considerably if fair standard
of efficiency was to be maintained.
Rush B. Simmons, chief postoffice
inspector, representing the postoffice
department on the commission, said
the fact that the parcel post system
had been found not to be paying ex-
penses was no surprise, as it had
been generally conceded for some
time that something should be done
to put that branch of the service on
a. sound basis. What recommended
tions the commission will make to
congress in its report could not be
forecast at this time, the members
said.

day. Many of the agencies, it was
said, maintained elaborate offices
and advertised that within short

pending claim.
The postoffice department plans TO

said, with view to determining whe-
ther fraud orders should be issued
against such agencies operating un-
der fraudulent claims. Officials into
