WASHINGTON, Oct. With the coal and steel strike area in the State of Pennsylvania in a comparative calm, the eyes of in- dustry turned to Washington to- day where new moves are under way to bring peace.
 President Roosevelt meets today with the leaders of the steel in- dustry in an effort to settle fi- nally the Pennsylvania mine strike.
 Picketing Maintained
 Tickets quietly maintained a vigil under the gaze of officers.
 Picketing continues at the steel mills at Ambridge and Charlton, in Pennsylvania and at Steuben- vile, Ohio.
 There have been some scenes of violence and clashes in Ohio and outbursts of warfare in Southern Illinois. Guardsmen are still on the scene at Harrisburg, Illinois, with one mine closed.
 Roosevelt May Act There are strong indications that if the steel men, who own mines, do not acede to the Presidents attempt to iron out the wage squabble, the President will use his authority to modify the coal code or impose a separate code upon steel owned mines to require that the union dues be deducted from the pay of the miners.
