Strike nearing end, Lewis reports optimistic talks
Cleveland August 14 A bid to end the anthracite strike by restoring the wage scale in force when the strike began was sent to President Lewis of the miners by D Warner leading the anthracite operators scale committee. Lewis accepted a conference in Philadelphia for Wednesday and predicted a quick soft coal settlement within forty eight hours. Some operators expect mines to reopen Wednesday and Hanna Haskins backed the outlook. No progress on compulsory arbitration between Lewis and Gallagher, who favors arbitration for future disputes, while Lewis opposes it.
