Lyon WASHINGTO: June 28. —The real truth of the coal! situation, as gathered from sources considered absolutely authentic, is this: President Harding has no def-| inite, welldefined pian for settling | the present nation-wide strike, but ie still “fishing around” for an; opening that will enable him to exert official pressure in favor of & settlement Secretary of Labor Davis has been sidetracked and Secretary of Commerce Hoover is the controlling | influence with the president as far as the strike situation joes ‘The big, outstanding result of the President's conference with John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine ‘Workers of America, was to con: Vince the president that the organt Ration proposes to “stand pat,” and that it disagrees with Hoover on Practically all his ideas for a strike settlement, Hoover's recent action $3.50 @ ton as the “maximum” Price to be paid for coal at non union mines has become a “mini mum” price and, practically all the Don-union operators, who hed pre viously been selling their coal at from $1.35 to $2 a ton, have raised) their prices, on new contracts, to @pproximately the $3.50 “maxi- mum.” MILLIONS IN SUPER-PROFITS ‘The “superprofits’ as a result ef this profiteering are estimated Gt from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000 a ‘week for the non-union operators.
