The action taken by Federal Judge Anderson In ordering a grand Jury Investigation and the contempt of court proceedings against the leaders of the mine workers are held out as the only apparent hepe of clearing the atmosphere sufficiently to secure a settlement. The government will proceed through Atty. Gen. Palmer with strict enforcement of the law. In the hopes that the miners will return to their work when they 1arn that the government is ns determined to proceed against opers.tors as against minora. rr. Garfield was expected to arrive here today and to take up the next move for the conservation of coal. Reports reached the fuel administration of voluntary action in many cities for the conservation of coal, and it I understood that rr.

Operators are here in iession. but they declare that they are merely discussing tax problems and are not attempting to reach any settlement of the wag question. The road to relief now appears to be through the court of Judge Anderson.
