Approxi mately one-third of the $625,000, 000 in war savings certificates ma turing January 1 were turned into the treasury for redemption or ex change into new treasury savings certificates during the first week after their maturity, , according to the treasury. Something like one hundred million dollars' worth of the stamp3 were offered for redemp tion or exchange in the first two days of the month, a statement made public said, but since then the offers of holders of the certificates to cash them in or take new treasury offer ings in exchange has materially les sened.

Return to the old central competitive field as a basis for fixing wage scales in bitu- -: n .- i i -j r ,i ... : 1 uiiiiuua iudi urn &etriutru rt tti laiii- ty here today with the adjournment -of the joint conference of fifteen dis tricts and the understanding among operators and miners that a call would be issued for a conference to be held in New York January 15 to 22nd. The joint conference adjourning sine die today without Teaching any agreement upon which to base wage i scale agreements, ends a series of meetings and conferences which be gun in Cleveland in October, 1922. The magnitude of the conference, taking in so many divergent opin ions among operators, was blamed by many as the cause of failure. The new call is understood by operators to include the old central competitive field of Illinois, Indiana. Ohio and western Pennsylvania, with the possibility of including a few adjacent states. Operators of the old four-state group appeared to be the only ones working harmoniously during the recent conference. Lewis directly blamed the inabilitv of operators to decide upon some plan for failure of the conference, but expressed the belief that "in the near future it may be possible to assemble a joint conference which will give promise of concrete accom plishment." The likelihood of a strike April 1, when present agreements expire is but slightly increased by the failure of the conference, according to the beliefs expressed by operator and minsrs. almost all or them placing confidence in the meeting to be called.
