 Miners union officials. who walked out of the joint meeting, said the efforts toward a peaceful adjustment Of the conflict on the part of the in- dustry itself had terminated because the operations were unwilling to con cede any part of the demand for in- creased wages made by the men. The operators asserted that the breaking point was the unwillingness of the union to submit its demands to the test of arbiFation. Both sides. how ever, assented to the submission of report on the situation to the United States coal commission through James A. German, secretary Of the joint conference.
 Neither group looked for any pre- vention of protracted industrial struggle in the anthracite region after September by any other means than government intervention. though s, D. Warriner, chairman of the operators policy committee, de- clsred The never lost hope" for peace.

as follows:

that now the states will exercise their

tain it is that the federal government
should do something, if the states III
