GOAL MEN MEET
 THIS AFTERNOON
Miners and Operators Resume
 Negotiations

Philadelphia, Jan. 26 (P --- An other effort to settle the hard coal strike is to be made by representa- tives of the operators and miners in joint session today.
 The conference, scheduled to con- vene at o'clock this aftrnoon, was called at the request of John l.. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, and the union chief declared in a statement lost night that if the operators spokesmen would waive their insistence on ar i arbitration of wages the strike would be brought to an end in 20 minutes after the meeting opened. It is the third attempt by the two groups to adjust their differences, in joint conference.
 "A new pressure Of public opinion, exerted within the last 4S hours, l am certain" said Mr. Lewis. twill have clarified the atmosphere for our negotiations, and l will be surprised if a changed spirit does not prevail in the joint conference.
 Others did not share the optimism of the miners leader. This was par ! ticularly true in the mining regions, where the hopes of peace and a re- turn to normal conditions by the coal diggers themselves and business men so often have been shattered.
 The operators made it plain before giving their assent to a resumption of negotiations that the peace plan Of E. J. Lynett, publisher of the Scranton Times, was not acceptable to them, This plan, accepted in prin- ciple by the mine workers as basis for negotiations, apparently was the only one ready for presentation to the joint meeting.
 The mine owners characterized the Lynett proposals, which provide for the immediate resumption of work at the old wage scale for a term ot five years. as fundamentally un- sound, Their chief objection is that there is no method of reaching an agreement if either side desires tc reopen the contract for the purpose

Man, Claiming to Be l50

Consta ntihople Jan. 26 P-The famous old Turk. Zaro Agha, who claims that his one hundred and fifty years make him the oldest man in the world Is to be honored, and incidentally saved from starvation by the city of Constantinople.
 The aged man has been unable for the past year or two to carry on his life trade as hamal, The hamals are the human delivery wagons of Turkey, and it is a common thing to see one of these porters, bent near ly double plodding steadily along the street with a piano or bedstead or dining room table on his back. As Horo Agha has grown somewhat too old for this HercuIean occupa- ton. he has found it difficult to supply himself with the bread and cheese of existence, for the pension which he receives from the associa- ton of hamals is anything but argc.

of readjusting the wage scale. Each side would have the right to ask for a conference before two years on the contract expires in order 10 readjust wages, but If no agreement can be reached on the proposed change in rates. the old contract would con tinue in force.
 It takes a unanimous vote in con- ference to accept any plan and 1t would appear that unless modifica- lions are agreed to. the Lynett sug- gestions will be consigned to the waste basket as others have been. As long as the two sides are togeth- CT around the conference table, how ever, there always Is the hope that they will find a way to break the deadlock, either by modification of the plan under consideration or the submission of another acceptable to both sides,
 While the operators and miners were trying 10 adjust their differ ences here, administration pro- posals for control of anthracite mining again were before the gen eral assembly in Harrisburg.
