Washington, July q (By the A P.,- The government Is prepared to stand pat for a period of ten days to two weeks in its attitude toward the coal strike, 1t was indicated today, in order to ascertain whether sufficient produc- tion will be obtained through the re- opening of bituminous mines under guarantee of federal protection to as sure the fuel requirements of essential industries
 In the meantime, however. plans for distribution of the curtalled suppIy Of coal are to be pushed. 1t was said. Szc- retary Hoover announced tonight that he had called meeting here next Mon day of representatives of producing dis tricts in Pennsylvania. West Virginia, Tennessee. Kentucky. Alabama, and Vir- ginia, to discuss the proposed ration ing plan and to formulate a policy de- signed to restrain proiteering.
 While all three parties to the recent conference in Washington the govern ment, operators and union, seemed sat isfied that the situation. as 1t now stands, was hopelessly deadlocked, 9 new move for restoration of peaceyin the coal fields was seen in the resolution introduced in the senate today by Sena- tor King, democrat.

King expressed ths opinion that such a body, set up by pos itive legislative action would have more authority than did the conference ap. pointed by the president.
 A survey of remaining coal stock, was said to have convinced administra- | tion officials tsiat these were sufficient tC

 There were strong indications in ad mintstration circles tonight that tn i government expected to rely on the dis tribution of coal being produced in tn non-union fields to supply the railroad | and necessary consumers during tn 1 emergency.
 l The aim of the administration. it va un' <stood. would be first to insure sui ficient fuel to keep the wheels of tn country's Transportation system turn ing and then to enable the distributio of coal to the other most necessary in
