MINERS HERE TO DECIDE POLICY Prospects Bright for Return to Coal Fields Monday There seemed little doubt today that 75 per cent at least he coal mines in the state of Wash- ington will resume operations Monday. More than 60 representatives of the 36 local miners’ unions thru- out the state were gathered here this morning for a conference that opened at 10 a. m. in the Labor temple. They were expected to ratify the national agreement granting a tem- porary wage increase of 14 per cent pending a final settlement to be ar rived at by a committee to be ap- pointed by President Wilson. According to State Mine Inspector James Bagley, per cent of the mines in the state will reopen Mon day if the miners agree to return to the job. The meeting of miners’ representa tives was called by Robert H district president of the United Mine workers, It was expected to conclude Saturday night, at which time, Har.

Clemenceau is expected to return to Paris tomorrow. | Talk Reservations The outstanding result of the con ference of the “big three” here late yesterday is that Great Britain, France and Italy are showing y inclination to accept “reasonable” reservations to the peace treaty by opinion expressed in official circles today. Premier Lioyd George, Premier Clemenceau and Foreign Minister Scialota, meeting in Downing st., while great crowds of the curious gathered outside. are believed to have touched om this point, and discussed how far concessions could be made to the United States to Insure her co-oper- ation, wtihout compliciting the already tangled international situa- tion. American Ambassador Davis and a Belgian representative were called into the conference. One official said that “as the price for American aid.” he believed “the allies are prepared to swallow moat of the senate's reservations, providing it can be arranged.” “European statesmen,” he contin- ued, “are realizing what American inolation will mean, and they are fast embracing the idea it ts possible tu meet the senate at least half way to enable ratification of the treaty. If the senate understood thia, it might relax its attitude somewhat.” In connection with the Internation- al financial situation, Austen Cham- berlain, chancellor of the exchequer, has sent a letter to the Post urging British business nen to bring money and investments from America to help balance the exchange. The German situation Is rpported to have been disposed of by the “big three” without difficulty.
