By GEORGE NOX McCAIN
Washington, .Tunc "0. The White
IIeuic Is gunrding with jealous care
whatever plans it may have for the
joint meeting of cenl miners nnd eper
aters tomorrow morning nt 10 o'clock.
There is n general belief that Presi
dent Harding, just ns he did at the Dis
armament Conference, has n definite
plan mapped out which he will an
nounce nt the conference.
In the absence of any Information ns
te the Executive's plans it is believed
tljnt he will assemble the parties te the
conference, tell them what he expects
and what the country demands, and
then leave them te work nut n plan of
settlement.
Between the time of the conference
en Saturday and the return of the
President from bis Fourth of July holi
day the scheme will be a success or fnil-
Falling In this plan, the President
will take final definite nnd drastic ac
tion te relieve the country of the peril
of a prolonged cenl strike.
Tliis much is Indicated in a state
ment from Attorney General Daughcrty
that he Is ready te act the instnnt the
President gives the word.
Pessimism Over Conference
As stated in my dispatch yesterday,
there is general pessimism as te the
result of tomorrow's conference. The
disposition is te sec only one method
of solution, viz, that the President
compel acquiescence in his view, even
though It gees the length of appoint
ing u Government commission te re
organize the industry.
Speedy action could be taken, tee,
for the way is well paved for such
a result.
On June -I of last year the Senate
passed a resolution directing Its Com
mittee en Education ami Laber te make
a thorough investigation of conditions
in the coal fields" of West Virginia.
Senater Kenjen was chairman of the
suh-cemmlttee that 'eii'lucted the In
vestigation. One of the results wns u
preposition that a Beard of Mcdintien
and Conciliation, similar te the Itail Itail
read Laber Beard, be appointed by the
President te deal with the eeul situ
ation. Senater Kenjen prepared and intro-1
diiccd a hill which provides for the sCt- '
tlcmcnt of disputes between emplejers1
nnd cmplejes in the coal-mining in-
ilustry. It establishes a I nurd for the
adjustment of such dilliciiltles and I
stabilizes conditions of production. I
National Ceal Mining Beard
It is te lie known as the National
Cenl Mining Beard. It Is te consist of
nine members, three of whom shall icp
resent the labor group, three the em
ployers' group and three the public.
Thnt bill is still en the calendar of the
Scnnte.
Unfortunately, however, like most
similar measures, It provides no punish
ment for violation of Its decisions.
Under penalty of .s.ilte line It ie-
quires the production of all books, nv.
ercls and documents when demanded;
the attendance of witnesses, and the,
punishment for contempt of these vvhel
Igneri lis summons. i
The Administration could mak"
amendments or change this bill cpiiiMj

An explosion, which blew up n sec
tion of the building, preceded the sur
render by n few hours. It Is believed
n considerable number eV the insur

although they were net eccupyinjc that
part of the structure which was blown
up.
When the surrender took place the
Tour Courts wns still In flames. Then

A Dublin message early this after
noon reported that O'Connor's men still
held sections of the Four Courts, both

tion being occupied by Free State
troops, dividing the two Republican
groups.

licans te be evacuating the building,
using secret pnsngcs underground they
,had constructed.
The dispatches se far received Indi
cate the beleaguered garrison mined the
