WEDNESDAY TO[ SEE RETURN OF WORKERS, WAGE ARBITERS THINK Middle West Is Highly Optimistic Over Late Indications of Ending Walkout of the Miners CHICAGO, July 29.—(By The Associated Press.) —Coal men throughout the middle west regard the bituminous strike as nearly the end and express confidence that an early resufmption of union prodietian may be expected. Jobbing markets today reflect this view, which is suported by President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers and substantiated by the withdrawal of certain heavy consum- ers of Industrial coal from the pres- ent highly competitive markets in the central field. Those known to be in close toucil with the fuel situation, to some. de- gree alrendy are banking upon a re- turn of union biners te the soft coal pits by August 5, notwithstanding conflicting or indefinjte résorts trem’ various quarters as to the exact status of the strike. News from the Philadelphia confer- ences between President Lewis and eastern operators is to the effect that “powerful interests” have brought great pressure to bear on recalcitrant oprators for a ‘confrence with the wiekers’ loaders. The report of the Cleveland federal reserve bank today declares that the fron and steel indus- try is feeling the coal shortage.
