In his opinion hoth parties should reulize fully that now public against them. and that if they fzil settle their differences neither side will have public support Those who know him say he is heinz kept well informed of the whols situation and they feel satisfied that the miners and operators will com pose their own differences. without attempting to force matters hy hav ing the government step in Public Comfort Chief Cancern. opinion i President. Coolidge’s principal con cern is regarding the safety and com fort of the public. In this respect it ix pointed out by his associates that he is confident that the public wili be amply protected if there is a cessation of operation in the anthracite fields. The President. althouzh maintain Inz a “stand pat miners and operators in arriving at an agreement, has let be known that he intends to protect the public in terests when the time comes. If nec essary, as a result of a possible strike President Coolldge will then bring into ! play every azency of the Federal Government 10 provide a fuel supply Just how far he will zo in carrving out this declaration is only a matter of speculation. It is agreed that the President’s avowed determination to have the Federal Government do evervthing within its power to supply the bublic with coal in the event the supplies run low. and there is suffering. is about the broadest statement he has | made since the matter of a possible | coal strike arose. Howaver. nn one about the President was willinz today 1o attempt any interpretation of what i« in_his mind in the matter of having | the Government keep up an adequate supply of fuel. Mr. Coolidge himself does not see fit at this time to show | his hand. Advices the President has heen re celving from cabinet officers. who have been keeping abreast of the coal situation, and other departmental of ficers, as well as from John Hays Hammond. who was chairman of the President’s fact-finding coal commis- sion two vears ago. assure him that there is at least four months’ supply of anthracite fuel on hand. Mr. Gool- idge has been told that never before have the consumers of gnthricite coal heen in a better position on the eve of a threatened coal strike. Strike, It Called, Minimized. Although the President has all along professed a belief that the miners and operators would compose their differences in time to avert a strike. he is known to he of the opinion that if there is a strike it will be of short duration. hecause of the large supply of coal on hand and bacause of the gzreat increasze in the use of substitute fuels. In the avent of a strike. the Presi dent is understond tn feel that the consumers will be driven 1o a wider use of substitutes. all of which must be taken into consideration by the warring parties. who will seriously damage the anthracite market, with & subsequent lessening of emplovment for miners. It is thought that Presi Aent Coolidge and those advising him are banking much on this phase of the situation to bring the miners and operators together before a strike is called, or very shortly afterward The Presidert at noon today con- | ferred with James J. Storrow. a Bos- ton banker, who was fuel administra- | tor tor New England during the coal strike two vears ago. and who was | associated with the Government's fuel administration during the latter days of the war. Mr. Storrow's intention was to make known to the President the exact situation in New England. where anthracite coal is very widely used. and where the pinch of a age would first be felt Approves Conference., Mr. Coolidge approves of the cor ference of New England governors called by Gov. Fuller, and places myich confidence in the statement made tn the executives hy Mr. Hammond. who. the President thinks. is as well in formed on the coal industry as any | man in the United States. Clarence W. Barron. publisher of financial papers, who was a caller at White Court vesterday. informed the President that the threat of a coal strike was worrving Wall street not at all, and believes that there could be no better time for a show-down in the industry. Anthracite, said Mr Barron, is & luxury enjoyed mainly in | New England, and he agreed with M. | Hammond that both miners and opera- tors would lose their principal market by their foolish tactics. Davis Prepares to Act. Secretary Davis of the Labor De. partment, returning to Washington inday from a six-week trip abroad, im mediately went into conference with Hugh L. director of concflliation. to acquaint himself with the present status of the anthracite controversy Throughout the negotiations in Atlantle City hetween the miners and operators the Conciliation Bureau has had observers on the zround and has made up a complete report for the in- formation of Secretary Davis The conference today revived rumors that, the Federal Government might take a hand to prevent a tie-up when the present wage contract expires August 31, but there was nothinz of an official character to support such a supposition. Operators to Hear Plea. WILKES-BARRE. Pa.

The miners in giving their reply at a similar conference in Hazleton v terday said they would clean the slate and start afresh with the mine owners on one condition.
