Government Seeks End to Coal Strike by Conference
Washington June 26 President Harding Secretary of Labor Davis and United Mine Workers President Lewis met nearly three hours to plan a national conference of operators and miners aimed at ending the coal strike. They expected to bring operators to the White House within days to present their side and forge a basis for a general meeting of belligerents. Secretary Hoover joined the discussions and left without comment. Lewis insisted on district conferences with representatives from central competitive fields, while Davis signaled possible government involvement if talks faltered. The deadlock persists as the industry faces shortages and unemployment.
