GOVT TO KEEP OUT
OF PRESENT HARD
COAL SITUATION

Swampscott, Mass, July o4-(AP)
The administration intends to
maintain a hands off policy in the
anthracite situation, President Cool
tdge believing that any interference
on the part of the government
would do more to prevent an agree
ment between operators and miners
than to facilitate one.
1t was reiterated today at the
summer white house that the presi-
dent believes an agreement will be
reached on new wage scale and
that suspension of operations in
the hard coal fields September is
only remote possibility.
Although the operators and miners
are still far apart in their discussion
of the new wage scale, there is no
occasion, whatever, President Cool
idge holds, for the government to
assert itself at this time and his be-
lief that an agreement will be
reached precludes in his mind any
necessity for future action.
The president not only deems it
inadvisable for him, any government
official, or any governmental agent,
to make any move. but he believes
