Adjournment followed a sub committee’s report of three days’ deliberations, unable to reconcile divergent demands. If no agreement is reached by April 11, union miners in the central bituminous field will cease labor. The sub committee rejected the Haskins plan and the Lewis counterproposal, with the latter urging a two year contract and continued talks, while the operators tied the proposals to shifts in wage scales and commissions oversight.
