EXPLAINED TO PRESIDENT
Matter Of Joint Conference Of Opera.
tors and Miners Talked Over
Meeting, Says Lewis - No
Definite Plans.

Washington, D. C.Administration
efforts to bring about settlement
OF the bituminous coal strike have
met a preliminary check.
After conferences with President
Harding and Secretary of Labor Da-
Wis, John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America an
nounced that the union policy still
was unaltered and unyielding in its
inisistence that new wage scale
must be set up for the strike ridden
mining districts by national or semi.
national conferences with operators.
The meeting between Mr.. Harding,
Secretary Davis and Mr.. Lewis, which
took place at the White House, was
the last Of series Of conferences In.
to which Secretary Of Labor Davis
took Mr.. Lewis.
Officially no statement was forth.

parently no spokesman for the mine
operators, whose refusal before last
April to meet in the semi-national
wage scale negotiations of the cen.

troversial point in the strike, vera

I'VE talked over the general prob
lens of the bituminous inquiry and
The strike" Mr.. Lewis declared on
leaving the White House, "its over
development and intermittency, and
projects for its sterilization.
with relation to the present strike
we considered the matter of a joint
conference OF operators and miners,
especially the merits OF proposals to
hold district joint conferences between
operators and miners for wage settle
ments, as compared with joint con.
ference in the central competitive
field, or a national conference of all
fields, through representatives. No
definite plans affecting the strike
were decided upon. The strike sit
uation is unchanged.
Il explained to the president the
futility Of attempting settlements in
individual mining districts. There
are no groups of operators willing to
hazard their competitive relationship
with other producing sections by fix
ing wage scale until they know
what their competitors are going to
pay. The country will be facing a
serious shortage of coal within few
weeks and If the strike continues the
railroads will be unable to transport
enough to take care OF industries and
domestic consumers"
