WASHINGTON HOPEFUL

Washington, Aug. 26.-Professing
confidence in the outcome, official
Washington awaits the opening to-
morrow of the conference at Harris
burg called by Governor Pinchot to
seek a settlement of the controversy
anthracite mines September /. The
Pennsylvania executive will have not
only aid in the form of data gathered
by federal fuel agencies, administra-
ton spokesman declare, but the NOR
al support of the federal government
if it finds it necessary to impose a
stronger argument than the logical
aspects of the situation.
Reiteration by representatives Of
both operators and miners that Moth
ing had occurred to change in the
decisions expressed at earlier par
leys, has failed to shake the optimist-
ic view taken by President Coolidge
and. his advisers, while the refusal
of the miners to submit the issues
to arbitration and the equally fiat
declination of operators to agree to
the demand for increased pay sub
mitted by the employees group seemed
to constitute q deadlock, the White
House and coal commission chung to
the belief that Governor Pinchot
would be able to force an equitable
compromise.
Acting under instructions from
President Coolidge that every aid be
given Governor Pinchot, data and
conclusions derived by various gov
eminent bureaus have been sent to
Harrisburg for use in the conference.
In the event the threatened an
thracite shutdown becomes a fact,
the government will have ready a
comprehensive program for dealing
with the national emergency"
which it has declared would result.
Existing stocks of fuel substitutes
has been listed, transportation de-
signated, and a system of priorities
over less urgent freight arranged.
Actual distribution of these supplies
to individual consumers. will be
worked out at the meeting in New
York Tuesday of representatives of
states which use the bulk of domestic
hard coal.

winner takes the trophy offered by
Sir Thomas Lipton-who will arrive
here tomorrow morning-to see 1t

-(By A. P)-Premier Poincare in
