SUCCESSFUL
Drafting of Wage Scale Be-
gun at a Closed Confer
ence of Miners and 0p-
orators at Cleveland,
ALL ESSENTIALS OF
CONTRACT APPROVED
Wage Scales That Were

was begun tonight at a
closed conference of soft
coal operators and miners
here.

those coming from the con-
ference.
All essentials for the con-
tract were understood ITO
have been approved, and
the actual framing of the
agreement was left to a
subcommittee. Most of the
other conferees, however,
remained behind the closed
doors of the conference
room. Completion of the
contract during the night
was predicted by those
coming from the confer
ence.
The agreement, it was said.
would provide for establish
ment of the wage scales that were
effective last April !, and the new
contract would run until March
81.
1t was also decided to establish
a fact finding Committee of advis-
ory powers for dealing with the
future negotiations in the soft coal
industry, The commission would
be chosen by miners and operators,
with personnel to be approved by
the president.
Operators controlling approxi-
mately 100000 tons annual pro-
duction were represented in the
conference. Their mines were un-
derstood to be in central Pennsyl-
vania, western Pennsylvania, In
diana, Illinois, northern West Vir-
ginia and Michigan.
Under the decision of the con-
ference, 1t was understood that any
soft coal operators anywhere in
the country might become parties
to the agreement, the reopening
of their mines to follow immedi-
ately. These operators, it was said,
might sign the agreement as in
dividuals or by state or district or

MEDIATION PLAN
IS REJECTED BY
MINERS CHIEFS
Decline Demand to Arbi-
trate Future Disputes;
Several Soft Coal Opera
tors Quit Farley.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. IA (by
the Associated Press. Withdraw
al of soft coal operators controlling
an annual output of five million
tons from the joint wage confer
ence here with miners, came to-
night because of the miners re-
fusal to accede to a demand for
arbitration to settle future dis
putes.
The withdrawal, however, did
not disrupt the conference, but it
was announced that it would be
broadened at meeting to be held
tonight so as to include operators
from any of the soft coal fields.
The operators who quit were
Michael Gallagher, president of the
Pittsburgh Vein Operators associa-
tion of Ohio, who represented the
NJ. A. Hanna company in the con-
ference, and S. II. Robbins, and w.
l.. Robinson, who represented the
Ioughiogheny and Ohio Goa.
company. Z. X, Maher, of this
city, was selected by the joint sub
scale committee to act as chairman
in the place of Mr.. Gallagher.
The split in the conference
which came during sessions of the
sub-scale committee, brought to a
close a, day of uncertainty. For
three days, Mr.. Gallagher, support
ing a demand for compulsory ar
bitration, and President John l..
Lewis, of the miners, who was un-
alterably opposed to the demand,
had been unable to reach an
agreement. All provisions, except
this one, had been agreed to py
them, but all the work must be
Icovered again in drafting con-
tract because of new operators be-
ing called into the conference.
While making no progress to-
ward settlement In the soft coal
negotiations, the day was marked
by an exchange of messages be-
tween Mr.. Lewis and S. d. Warri-
ner, spokesman for the anthracite
operators, that was regarded as
forecasting an early settlement
Mr.. Warriner said the operators
would renew the wage contracts
that expired at the beginning of
the strike last April /, and Mr.
Lewis responded that this premise
"augers well' for settlement.
Conferences will begin at Philadel-
phia on Wednesday. .
