DECLINE BID TO ' DON AHET'S MEET Indiana Bituminous Coal Operators Reject Invitatation To Conference Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. 9.—(United Press)— Peace in the coal fields of lho central west will not be sought by the Indiana bituminous coal operators' association through the invitation of Gov. Vic Donahey ot Ohio to Join with the United Mine Workers in a new joint conference. Gov. Donahey's offer was rejected by Phil H. Penna, secretary of the association, in a letter to the Ohio chief executive Penna pointed out the central competitive field no longer is constituted as at the time erf the failure of the Miami conference last spring and declared “We do not know of any possible way to reconvene the Miami joint conference nor of any good that possibly could result from Its reassembling."

Indiana and Illinois, he said, are the only states in the central field that retain the same status as at the time of the Miami meeting. “The Indiana operators,” Penna wrote, “at all times since dissolution of the interstate Joint conference have been willing to meet the miners of Indiana to negotiate a wage scale upon an economic basis. “This, we understand, would be a scale to permit Indiana operators t< market Gioir coal in competition with producers of coal 4u othei states."
