PITTSBURGH. August 4.-Pitts-
burgh coal operators and union lead
ers differed somewhat in their fore
casts regarding the fate of the four
state conference to be held at Cleve-
land Monday.
There is no possible chance Of 1t
being successful" announced the
Pittsburgh Coal Producers Associa-
ton, which declined to attend.
There Is no chance that 1t will fail" :"
said Vice President Philip Murray OF
the United Mine Workers.
Local Interest was centered upon the
meeting here today of the Freeport
Thick Vein Operators Association.
The operators will take action upon
the invitation Of President Lewis of
the United Mine Workers to attend
the conference.
Leading operators intimated that
the Freeport Operators Association
probably would reject Lewis invita-
tion, but said 1t was uncertain
whether the operators would take
steps to reopen their mines.

model OF the s. 8. Leviathan to Chair
man Albert ID. Lasker OF the Shipping
Board.
At the presentation exercises. which
took place In the offices OF the Ship

following remarks as he delivered the
model to Chairman Laskor:
1.-The model OF the S. =. Leviathan
is turned over to Chairman Albert ID.
asker. 1t was made by skilled me-
chanics sent from Germany TO this
country by the Hamburg American
Line before the war. II Is twenty five
feet long and cost $4,000. 1t Is being
turned over TO Chairman Iasker of
the Shipping Board by the Alien Prop
erty Custodian. because II is most
fitting and proper that the Shipping
Board should have this model on eX-
hibition in their Offices In Washing
ton as they are to operate the Lee
viathan. This model was n great bust
ness getter for the Hamburg -Ameri-
can Line before the War. and for this
reason the Shipping Board should
have the exhibition in their offices ir
Washington.
This model will forever be the prop
erty OF tho United States Government
in the same mapner that the great
