Chicago, Aug. 22.-Peace in the
Illinois coal fields was expected be-
fore night as the committee of
six" representing operators and
miners-went into session today.
Shift men and engineers have been
ordered to report to the mines in
the Duquoin field
Although the operators declared
just before the conference opened
the arbitration question had not been
completely settled, they indicated
differences were only on minor
points.
Delay in settlement resulted when
Frank Harrington, president of the
state miners, walked out of the con
ference late yesterday. Neither side
would discuss the events leading uT
to the bolt of the union leader
Harrington announced, however, that
he would be on hand for the con

Navy seaplanes and a sub-chaser

Robinson, who had motored with
friends to Atlantic City, took the oc'

today.
The Pittsburgher told of the de-
scent on to the sea which was made
