After the morning session Steelman said: "The joint conference has adI journed to meet at 10 a. m tomorrow to permit the operators' comi mittee to confer amongst themselves in the meantime. That's all. no comment." No one here or in Washington would predict at what moment the government might declare a atate ; of emergency, but it was appar i ent that the nation would be conI fronted with a critical situation If . the deadlock persisted next week. Officials of the Vnited Min*' Workers of America, whose members dig practically all of the court- | try's coal, have asserted they will extend the eastern mln* shut down. ] now in Its fourth week, to the rest of the nation on May & it th* Appalai hian controversy is not settled by that time. Mayor F. H. LaGuardia of New, York, where transit and electric I service is jeopardised, appealed to I the president for th* third time to intervene personally. If action la not taken at once, j he said yesterday, '‘there will he ■ a crisis in (S hours." Steelman, whose entrance into the dispute this week was spprnv*d by President Roosevelt, castigated the negotiators yesterday for their failure, in more than six weeks of discussion, to arrive at a mutually satisfactory agreement. He told them. It was understood, thst the government and the public were demanding a settlement without strife. There have been hints that federal agencies might take alepa more direct than mere personal mediation it the negotiators remain adamant. The point at issue Is the I’MWA's demand for proleciion against threatened jurladlct tonal dilffrultles with the American Federation of Labor and against what John L. Mwis called "open ahop I Interests bent on destroying the i union." Th* soft coal deadlock had a ' stultifying effect on wage-hour negotiations now In progress be- ' tween representatives of lOO.lMut Pennsylvania anthracite miners and hard coal operators. She anthracite contract expires at midnight Bunday, and there appeared to be no likelihood that an agreement would he reached before the deadline Lewis had Indicated that the anthracite held*, which produced 46,000,000 tona laat year, would be kept idle until the Appalachian dispute is settled.
