Many reports of a possible sympa- thetic strike on the part of bitumin- ous miners after September 1 been circulated in the whirlpool of rumors and speculation that sur- rounds the preparations of the gov- ernment here, but if such a develop- ment is in prospect, the government has no authoritative knowledge of it. Al aspects of the situation were be- ang closely studied by officials as plans ‘went forward for the conference in I New York next Tuesday to which the ) " governors of all the principal anthra- cite-consuming states were invited by ¥.

The invitation for a conference with | . representatives of the interstate com- . merce committee and the principal | eastern railroads to consider tentative | plans for the institution of central " distributing agencies in each with supervisory headquarters in ‘Washington went to the executives of | 11 states—the New England group . and those along the middle Atlantic ~ wseaboard. It was dispatched after conferences during the day between President Coolidge and heads of the government . agencies concerned. Plans For Instructing Public In addition to considering a ten- tative scheme of distribution already worked out by Mr. Wadleigh, the New York conference, the governors were informed, will endeavor to evolve practical plans for instructing the public in the use of substitute fuels for anthracite. This was seen to be in line with the view held by ~ the administration from the first that the public itself, by turning to sub- | stitute fuels, could exert strong pres- sure on any strike situation that de- veloped. While hope still survived i admin- istration circles that the anthracite miners and operators would find a way to avert a tie-up of the mines on Beptember 1 there was no indication today of any intention to further gov- “ernment intervention in the situation at this time. Operators Stand By Atlantic City, Aug. 23.—Semi-offi- " clal notice that the federal anthracite wage negotiations to pre- went a stoppage of the mines Septem- ber 1, today reached Atlantic City. ' The news was conveyed to both the policy committee of the mine opera- ors and the officials of the miners' union who broke off .negotiations for & new wage contract on Tuesday and eft the unrelieved prospect of a shut- down in the industry next week. The U. 8. Coal Commission both sides were told, could go no further in an en- deavor to enforce peace, since the re- newal of the wage contract negotia- tions which was taken at the com- mission’s intervention last weck had merely served to precipitate another break. Notwithstanding, the group intends to remain in City, at least until the end of the week, in an effort to show that the | . employers scek every means of re- opening discussion. . John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, and the scale committee of the union, it was said, would probably stand by also until tomorrow. There was no change of attitude on the part of the employers' group and the union spokesmen. PAJEWSKI HITS AT OWNPARTY CHIEFS Page) operators (Continued From First barrass Mayor A. M.

Although Mrs. Putnam had an- nounced “Matrimony” as the topic for discussion she did not stick close to her subject.
