COAL FAMINE NEAR . . . Negotiations Between Mine Owners and Operators at Standstill. . \ ' 11 Washington, , Nov. 10.? Prospects of a coal famine drew nearer tonight with negotiations between operators and min ers apparently at a standstill. ^ A sub-coimpittee of the joint wage scale committee was in session three hours but it was announced after the meeting that only the general situation was discussed and that the operators did not submit counter proposals to the miners demands. The conference will continue tomorrow.' :jj "No progress was made. The opera tors submitted no proposals. We arc still in a receptive mood," said John L, Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers, as he came out ol the hotei "room where the conference was heJcL The operators committee remained in session an hour Konger. At the end of that time, Thomas T. Brewster, chair man of the operator's committee in the central competitive field, shook optimis tically, declaring that this wae the first attempt at real negotiations since the miners and operators met at Buffalo. For that reason, he said, only general matters were discusseo. The decision of the joint wage scale conference to continue its negotiations through a smaller group, In accordance with the usual1 custom in making the wage agreements, came after tile owners and workers had heard from Fuel Admin istrator Garfield that as long as the government stands "the people of the United States need, must have, and will have coal, aiyl they will not be pre vented by anything the operators and miners may do." - . The consuming public, the chief party in interest in the present controversy, Dr. Garfield said, is not in X mood to tolerate either excessive prices or pro longed stoppage of production. The sub-committee is composed of two miners and two operators from each of the four states in the central competi tive district, together with Mr. Brews ter and Mr. Lewi*. The statement o< the fuel adminiu tratoi*,- wljldb waa largely statistical, brought out that in 1018 the average cost of production of coal was f2.1ft per ton, leaving to die operators an av erage margin of 46 cents per ton. This margin, he said, included interest charges, selling expenses and federal taxes, ss well as profit. Married at the home of Probate Judge W, J j.
