That the-men will start back to the mines this week and normal production of coal will be reached next week, was the confident expectation of many of the leaders.

Although only a few of the highest officials were acquainted with the terms of the proposal, they took the position that good enough for Lewis and Green, is good enough lor Contents of the proposal were carefully guarded and will be kept secret at least until the meeting. which opens at two p. today.

The commission, it was reported, will also go into the side, investigating reports of huge profits and will have power 10 recommend readjustments in prices.
