Operators Today, Presumably and fear by both sides that other states would do likewise, were urged as a strong reason for quick settiement of ull wage disputes. The operators’ scale committee sent word to the miners that it was not ready to meet them in joint session. Commeénting upon a statement issued tonight by their executive committee denying that the conference “is being held up because of differences and in- decisions on the part of the operators, ’ spo!c(gmen for the operators declared their 'entire policy has been under consideration in their secret sessions. The probable attitude of the ad- ministration and the fact that the miners have not returned to work ‘were said to be the principal subjects which have occupied their time. Scme of the operators held the view that the government, acting througi Fuel Administratos , Garfield, was “third party” to the contracts, ana that the wage scale laid down by the Washington agreement could not be changed without the authorization of Dr. Garfie)d and assurances as to what changes Would be allowed in maxi- mum coal prices. - Other operators wished to know the views of the director general of rail- roads, ag the railroad administration is the largest single purchaser of coal in the country. The department of justice was the third governmental agency involved in the discussions, there being a strong fecling among the operators that the government had not fulfilled its' duty in merely ordering the withdrawal of the strike order, but should prosecute vigorougly miners refusing to-go back ‘to work. The action of Governor Allen in throwing Kansas mines into the hands of a receiver admittedly was causing operators much concern. Harry N. Taylor, president of the National ,Coal Association, and Fred W. Lukens of Kansas City. president of the South- western Ceal Operators’ Association, 'conferred ~with Assistant Attorney General Ames with respect to “legal phases” of theé situfition. COAL FOR RAILROAD FOR FROM 25 TO 30 DAYS Chicago, Nov. 18—There will be no drastic general curtailment of train service in the United States at the present time, despite the seriousness of the coal problem. This announce- ment was made tonight at the con- clusion of a meeting attended by Di- rector General of Railroads Walker D. Hines and seven regional directors of the railroad administration. Mr. Hines, after hearing reports from the regional directors, was of the opinion ' there was sufficient” coal te run the railroads on a virtually nor- mal basis for 25 or 30 days and that production of bituminous coal was be- ing increased daily. A freight embar- g0 would be the last measure to be considered to conserve coal. That the coal situation is serious was admitted by those in attendance at the conference. Further considera- tion of the subject will be given dur- ing the present week by Mr. Hines angd if any curtailment of train ser- vice is decided vpon, it was stated ample notice will be given the public. Director General Hines arrived: in Chicago during the afternoon to. at- téend the dinner of the American Rail- way Guild, at which he was the prin- cipal speaker. The regivnal directors were here to attend the meetings of the American Railway Association, and di the conference was arranged to uss the coz! problem.
