Washington, July IA movement
to settle the nationwide mine strike
in a bipartisan conference of miners
and operators, without government
participation, is definitely under way,
1t was learned officially here today
A formal proposal for such peace
meeting may be made within the
week by mine leaders.
Reports to the labor department
indicate that about sixty or seventy
operators, representing considera-
Bile percentage of the tonnage of the
coal fields favor this plan, which
was used in the past to settle mine
disputes.
President Harding's threat TO
seize the mines was said to be
swinging other operators to the sup
port of the proposal.
With the situation throughout the
country becoming more menacing
each day because of the rail and
mine tie-ups, the federal government
continued today its desperate effort
to find a solution.
President Harding, realizing that
he is facing the gravest crisis of his
administration, is devoting all his
time to the problem.
The president early today con-
ferred with Secretary of Commerce
Hoover and then Harding Hoover
and A. M. Ogle, head of the National
Coal association and leader of the
operators, joined in conference.

Washington, July 17.-Whether the
United States army will be ordered
to intervene in rail and coal strikes
will be decided today when Presi-
dent Harding and Secretary Weeks
confer at the white house.
Official reports from an inspector
general sent to Denison, Texas,
where disorders are said to have
occurred, are before the president.
Certain members of the cabinet
are reported to favor force unless
direct negotiations can be instituted
Meanwhile, sentiment is gaining
strength for direct conferences be-
tween operators and miners to set
tie their differences without govern
ment intervention.
Miners leaders are prepared and
willing to meet the employers. The
group of operators which for some
time has advocated conferences Is
gaining strength, it was learned to-
day. The miners will negotiate with
the operators when the latter group
gains enough recruits to arrange a
settlement for a representative sec
tion of the coal fields.
This was the only hopeful ray OF
peace today In the otherwise men,
acing situation caused by the rail
and coal strikes. The mine strike
is now in its sixteenth week while
the strike of railway shopmen has
been on II days.
The next move of the federal gov
ernment in the critical situation was
being framed today by President
Harding.
1t is known that he would be glad
TO see the miners and operators get
together in conference without
governmental Intervention and set
tie their differences. The operators
are said to be swinging toward this
plan because of the threat of the
president to seize their mines unless
