Covers Central Field. Thq conference was called primarily to cover only the old central competi- tive fleld, comprising Illinots, Indlana, Ohio and western Pennsylvania, which has been the basic unit of wage bar- gaining off and on since 1885, and al- most continuously since 1898 Predictions today from both sides of the wage conference were that inter- ests outside the old fields would par- ticipate in the discussions starting to- morrow. Among the questions to be decided, in addition to the principal one of adoption or rejection of the general program for settlement, was whether a single wage agreement priority for coal for the first four classes established by the commis- sion, but contend that building ma- terials are just as important to con- struction as coal is to other manu- facturers, and should have equal place with it after the first four classes are served. The petition of the contractors di- rects attention to their claim that with reopening of the mines the de- mand for cars for coal will be not less than 320,444 cars per week, of the maximum 324,000 serviceable cars. Of these, they estimate only 291,000 will be suitable for loading and transportation of coal, leaving only 33,000 open-top cars weekly for all other purposes. They estimate that priority for coal in open-top cars will probably mean a shutdown of four- fifths of the construction projects under way east of the Mississippi river.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, August 8.— Members of the scale committee of the Indiana Bituminous Coal Oper- ators’ Association assembled here to- day with.A. M. Ogle, president of the National Coal Association, who is expected to outline plans for settle- ment of the coal strike. Mr. Ogle arrived early this morning from Indianapolis. TERRE HAUTE, Ind, August 8. Mr. Ogle declared the Indiana oper- ators would not attend the Cleveland conference called by President John L. Lewis of the miners. There were indications, however, that if the strike settlement plan as prepared . dyed; This will be largely a matter of investment interest to you—for Clothes of this character are never come under the ban of reduction except at the season’s never outlawed by fa.shion—and end—when clearance must control, regardless of everything. 4 would be accepted for all soft coal flelds, or whether one would be made for the old flelds alone, with separate contracts being drawn on the basis of the central field contract for the out- lying districts. Some to Stay Out. Though the strike may be settled on a natlon-wide scale, there are ex- pected to remain several thousands of miners still on strike. The largest number would be in central Pennsyl- vania, a partly unionized fleld, where many non-union mines were shut down by walkouts that marked the develop- ment of the strike. These miners are those In Fayette, Somerset and West- moreland counties of Pennsylvania, NIQUE " developmentof engineering, The strike also would be continued in m Q .

Likewise, the miners in_southern Ohio would continue th strike. The failure to bring about a settl ment for these districts, union offi clals said, might lead to a prolonged controversy there. In this connection it was pointed out that with the re- turn to work of miners in other parts of the country the union would be able to finance the strikers not af- fected by a settlement.
