Pittsburgh July 27. Representa-
tives ot eventeen roul mines 111
w stern Pennsylvania aud Ohio to-
day offered to enter Into any kind of
conference- with the United Mine
Workers that will bring the strike
to a close.
These mlnea employ 7.200 men
and control a dally production of
32.000 tons.
P. F. Hanaway acting president of
district number five declared he
forwarded the offer to President
Lewis who has received similar of-
fers from Ohio and Plttsbugh oper-
ii tors. .
"Miners Have Won" Lewis
Philadelphia July 27. 'The min-
ers have won the strike" John L.
Lewis president of the United Mine
Workers of America declared this
afternoon.
"The victory has been acknowledg-
ed by the leading financial Interests
throughout the country" Lewis con-
tinued. "The next" move Is to calL
a general conference In the central
compr tntlve field. This will be Is-
sued In the next few days.
"Tho miners will not receive a
wage reduction' Lewis said. "They
will return to the pits at the same
wages that they received when they
marched out on April 1."
Want National Meeting.
Cleveland O. July 27. Ohio coal
operators today asked John L. Lewis
miners' chief to call a nation-wide
conference of coal operators and
union chiefs for Cleveland Saturday
in an effort to end the coal strike.
This was revealed by Ohio "con-
servatives" who have been willing
for some time to negotiate with the
strikers on a national or central
district basis.
Efforts by a local coal operator
to reach Lewis at Philadelphia
whore he was scheduled to meet with
other mine union leaders proved
lutilo.
At Philadelphia It was stated that
Lewis left for New York today for
an Informal conference there.
Th calling of a nation-wide con-
ference by Lewis would add "fuel
to the fire" In the battle for su-
premacy in the miners' ranks and
the operators of the central com-
petitive field comprising Illinois
Ohio Indiana and western Pennsyl-
vania. Frank Farrington president of the
Illinois miners has been holding
conferences with the Illinois opera-
tors -with a view to end the strike
in that state. The proposed confer-
ence here would place the situation
in the hands of his arch enemy
John L. Lewis as the Illinois opera-
tors would undoubtedly Attend and
abandon their conference with Far-
rington. .
The ' proposed conference also
would give the Ohio operators who
have been clamoring for a settle-
ment of the strike the "edge" over
the insurgents of the central field.
Tho insurgents have declined to
confer with the miners only on a
basis of wage agreements at the
mine. Lewis was expected to reply
to the invitation to call the confer-
ence late today.
It also developed that Ohio oper-
ators have been dickering with Lewis
on the proposed conference for some
time. The conference originally was
to have been held yesterday but
could not be arranged.

Washington July 27.- In denying
that be contemplate drafting men
into the railroad or mining service
to meet the crisis caused by the great
twin strikes President Harding in
telegram to J. Cleve Dean Rail
way Employes' Publicity Association
Chattanooga Tenn. declares:
"No one has attempted or proposed
to draft free men Into either the rail-
way or mining service or suggested
coercion under military force.
The military forces of free Amer
ica are never used for such a pur-
pose. Their sorvlce In only that of
preventing lawlessness and violence.
The same unchallenged freedom
which permits you and your asso
ciates to decline to work is no less
the heritage of the free American '
who chooses to accept employment
under the terms proposed."
All Sectors Quiet.

Chicago July 27. It was quiet on
all sectors today as representatives
ot the opposing factlriuu in the rail
war gathered In Washington for an-
other peace parley.
Shrouded In the utmost secrecy
Bert M. Jewell and the chiefs of the
six shopmen's unions departed for
Washington. Headquarters of the
shopmen here had nothing to say
regarding tho new attempt to settle
the strike.
"They are only kidding them-
selves" one union official declared
referring to the statement of the
western executives that transporta-
tion conditions were normnl.
"We won't make any formal answ
to the executives' claims it is un-
necessary. The traveling public
knows that scores of trains have been
discontinued and that those operating
are running hours behind schedule."
It was still a mystery whether the
union chiefs went to Washington at
the invitation of the president or on
their own initiative. Their plans
were kept well hidden and it was
not until they had been gone several
hours that the news leaked out.
