Washington, July 31.—The govern

state will assume today the duties of
gigantic middleman passing on the
coal from the producing mines to the

agency was pronounced last night to
be nearly complete and to-day Henry
B. Spencer, the federal fuel distributor

mittees as designated by order of
President Harding will begin active

Just how much coal the government
can count on remains a matter of
speculation. The first test of the
response to President’s Harding’s invi

their properties was revealed yester
day in the weekly report issued by the
Geological Survey which showed an
estimated production of bituminous

PEACE ALREADY MADE;
TO RATIFY TUESDAY
Chicago, July 31—Peac* terms al
ready have been agreed to In the coun

asserted last night by a man in close
official touch with tbe situation.
All that now remains before the
strike, which has cost the workers up
wards of $40,000,000 in wages, passes
into history, it was asserted, was the
formal indorsement of tbe terms of
settlement by the railway executives'
meeting In New York and the strike
leaders who will convene in Chicago
at the same hour.
The acceptance of President Hard
ing's proposal was a forgone con
clusion before T. DeWltt Cuyler Is

rail executives in New York and Bert

men, summoned a similar meeting of
