HARD COAL STRIKE
IS CALLED OFF
Both Miners and Operators Give
in on Vital Points.
ABANDON CHECKoFF SYSTEM
Owners Agree to Cease Practice of De-
Quoting Debts to Company for Elk
pIosives From the Mems
Pay-Peace in Prospect.

New York, Aug. 16.-A way to pre-
vent suspension of anthracite coal
mining after Sept. was opened by
the intervention of the United States
coal commission in the deadlock which
has hitherto prevailed between the
miners union and the operators.
Officials of the miners union pro
posed to the commission to abandon
their demand for ''check oil" of union
dues if the operators would cease their
practice of collecting explosive and
fuel accounts by the same method.
The miners proposal, made in a
separate conference with the coal COM
mission, was turned over by the latter
to the operators in the ensuing sep
arate conference.
Operators Promptly Accept.
The operators asked time to consider
and adjourned. But a few hours later
the operators occasioned surprise by
giving out the announcement that
after consultation they had agreed to
accept the mine union demands in
full.
Wage negotiations, which broke off
two weeks ago, between the operators
and miners now may be resumed, the
operators said, in accepting the union
proposal.
No Strike Expected.
1t is now certain that the negotia-
tons over the wage question will rot
interfere with the continuance of an
thracite production. The "check Off
obstacle having been surmOunted, the
other points in controversy can be set
tied without strike, it was minated
by both Sides

GREAT BRITAIN SENDS NOTE
OF WARNING TO FRANCE
London Breaks With Paris Over Ruhr
Seizure PoIicy-BeIgium In
cluded in Warning.

London, Aug. 13.-Great Britain has
spoken bluntly to France and Belgium
at last. All England is throbbing with
speculation as to the tremendous re-
suits which may be expected from the
governments latest note to her two
allies. The note, 5000 words long. an
nounces fatty that Britain may be
compelled to enter separate negotia-
lions with Germany unless the French
and Belgian attitudes are modified.
The recipients of the note are in
formed by Viscount Curzon that the
occupation of the Ruhr is illegal.
The language of Britain is not the
language of one ally to two others.
1t is the language of nation.
The note indicates that Great Brit
ain is prepared to make great conces-
sions in the matter of allied debts to
her if general settlement is reached
whereby she may obtain a sufficient
sum in separations from Germany and
sufficient payments from her allies to
pay her war debt to the United States.
Sunk ships and cargoes rotting at
the bottom of the sea may not be
shocks like ruined villages in France
and Belgium, but they are equally ma
terial damage caused by the German
aggression and represent equally
heavy losses of national wealth." SAYS
Lord Curzon bluntly.
The note estimates at 14,2OO,0OO,OO
gold marks (about $3.50, 0OO,O0O) the
sum which Britain needs in order to
pay her debt to America, and Lord
Curzon says that Britain must have
that amount from Germany and her
allies.

COOLIDGE VIEW
ON MANY ISSUES
New President Meets With Cab
met; His Shyness Gone.
EXECUTIVE MAPS HIS COURSE
Official White House Announcement of
Policies Follows the Meeting-To
Adhere to Harding Policies
Only in General Way.

Washington, Aug. 15.- President
Coolidges attitude on nearly all the
important questions confronting che
government was revealed at the White
House after the cabinet meeting.
Heretofore he has contended him
self with the general statement that
his policies would be the same as
those of President Harding. This
statement was reiterated, but specifi-
cations were added.
Where Coolidge Stands.
Boiled down, it can be stated that
the President holds these views on the
following subjects:
International policy--The admin
istration stands ready to cooperate
with Europe in working out solution
of the Preparations question, if it can
do so without involving the United
States, but it has no concrete proposal
to make at this time.
Agricultural relief-The President
and the secretary of agriculture are
sympathetically studying numerous
suggestions for legislation to help the
farmers.
Mexico-The signing Of the agree
ment paving the way for recognition
of the existing Mexican government
may be expected at any time.
Foreign debts-The administration
will proceed with the effort to collect
all the obligations owed by foreign
governments to the United States.
Strong for Budget System.
Anthracite coal strike-NegotiatiO
are already under way to bring about
a settlement of the coal strike, but
plans already have been made to as
sure an adequate supply of substitutes
for anthracite in the event of strike.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. policy of adj
hitting only the better class OF immi-
grants and will study plans submitted
by Secretary of Labor Davis.
Extra session of congress-Sees no
need now for an extra session, but
would not hesitate to call one if need
became apparent.
Economy and budget-The deter
mination of the administration to en-
force strictest economy cannot be stat
led too strongly and the budget system
will be scrupulously followed.
