.URGESU. S. TO Join
SOFT COAL PARLEY
Pennsylvania Governor Sug.
qests General Conference
to End Strike.

By the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa. March i9-A
conference of representatives from all
the bituminous producing States. labor
operators, public authority. both
branches Of Congress and the executive
department of the Federal Government
TO work out means Of settling the
soft coal strike. was urged today by
Gov Fisher.
Amplifying remarks made in speeches
in Eastou and Scranton last week, the
governor said that he did not believe
1t to be impossible TO arrive at some
plan covering the factors entering into
the problem.
Governor Cites Problems.
"I understand" he said, that prior
to the agreement on the Jacksonville
scale (which the union miners are
striking to maintainl. there was tacit
understanding between the union lead
ers and many important operators that
in the event OF a disagreement, 1t would
be submitted to conciliat!on or me-
diation board TO be named by the
President
This plan had a precedent In the
settlement Of the wage dispute in the
anthracite region during Roosevelts
administration"
The governor said there were three
basic problems: Wages, the rate
structure and the regulation of produc-
ton. These problems. he said. attach
to the entire industry In It's totality
and constitute a problem for both the
State and Nations consideration.
I'm production" the governor said.
"the national authority does not at
tach until the coal enters interstate
traffic. But because the Interstate
Commerce Commission can now regu-
late all freight rates. whether inter or
intrastate, the regulatory power neces-
sariiy attaches to all coal that goes on
board.
Jurisdiction OF State.
"The coal In the ground and all the
processes of production fall within the
Jurisdiction OF the State 1t necessarily
follows that to find a cure for the Ills
OF the industry there must be co-opera-
tive action between the States and the
Federal Government.
1T Is not easy TO discover way for
doing this. However. there ought to
be some sort of conference. repre-
