ANTHRACITE STRIKE
SETTLEMENT SEEN
Sen. Pepper Advances PrOpo.
sal for Agreement on Basis
of April Wage Scales.

WASHINGTON, Aug 29.-(By A.
PA proposal that the strike in
the anthracite coal fields be set
tied Immediately on the basis Of the
wage scales in effect last April was
advanced through Sen. Pepper Of
Pennsylvania, tonight at a confer
ence of representatives of operat-
ors and mine union officials. Some
Of those participating n the confer
ence expressed belief that the pro
posai offered hope OF ending the
long continued suspension IN the
hard coal fields
Under the proposal, he controver-
s-al issue Of arbitration as a means
Of reaching agreement on wages
would be set entirely aside, and the
only important question 10 be decid-
ed, would be that Of how long the
compromise would be effective.
Sen. Pepper and his advocates
from Pennsylvania, Sen. Reed,
who also participated in the preU-
minary conference, left the meeting
after the proposal had been laid be-
fore the opposing delegations. Mr..
Pepper expressed the opinion that
the operators. who have in sisted
on arbitration, might easily retire
on this issue since there was every
prospect that a federal commission
soon would be set up TO investigate
the entire mining industry and
would serve the same purpose as
the proposed arbitral tribunal.
John l. Lewis, president, and
Philip Murray. vice-president OF the
United Mine Workers represented
the miners at the conference to-
night and at earlier meetings with
Sens. Pepper and Reed and Sec'y Of
Labor Davis.

Go on Record on PropO-

WOULD AID SITUATION
Presidents Attitude Is That
Step Would Strengthen
Government Hold.

NEW YORK, Aug 29.-(By A. P.)
-SmOuldering official opinion in
favor of the presidential authorize
ton to take over railroads and coal
mines not operated at their highest
efficiency was reviewed in congress
today when it was known at the
White House that Pres't Harding
still held that such a grant Of power
was desirable although without idea
of using the authority except in case
Of emergency.
One immediate result Of the re-
newed discussion Of government OPP
Grafton was the prospect that the
house might be called upon at short
notice to put itself on record in the
matter. Rep. Jhnson, republican,
South Dakota, announced his in
tention to offer tomorrow an amend
ment TO the administration coal con-
troll bill which would give the presi-
dent the authority he was said TO de-
sire. Several other members of the
house indicated they also would sub
NIT amendments with the same pur-
pose in view, although congressional
leaders generally predicted no such
legislation would be passed for the
present. As explained at the White
House the presidents attitude is that
the administrator hold on the
situation would be measurably
strengthened if It had as a founda-
ton the potential power to take over
single railroad or a system OF
carriers, a single mine or a series Of
mining properties which had been
shown clearly to have failed to rem
der the public the full service of
what the were capable. There was
no hint as TO the manner in which
such properties would be admins
tered, when and If taken over
White House Spokesman emphasized
that NIr. Harding had no immediate
intention Of using the suggested
power.
Expect Settlement
Mr.. Harding, II was said, believed
today that the bituminous coal in
dustry was working out its own
problem under the impetus of the
practical settlement reached al
Cleveland and held further that the
anthracite strike would be settled
shortly on a basis which would per

Should this forecast be borne out
by developments, 1t was said at the
White House, the railroad tangle
would be left as the only industrial
knot of first Importance and in this
connection the administration policy
as outlined today, was said to be con-
structed on a strict enforcement OF
existing laws which guarantee safe

ance of necessary public service.
A less optimistic view Of the fuel
situation was taken by Chairman
Cummins Of the senate interstate
