Includes Central States.
I The new call is understood hv op
M^ators to include the old central
competitive field of Illinois Indiana,
Ohio and western Pennsylvania, with
the possibility of im hiding a few ad
jacent states. Operators of the old
four-state group appeared to lie the
only ones working harmoniously din
ing the recent conference.
Lewis directly blames the inability j
of operators to decide upon some plan j
for failure of the conference, hut ex- i
. pressed the belief (hat * in the near ]
future it may be possible to assemble
a joint eonfeieilce which will give
promise of < oncrete accomplishment."
In a telegram dispatched to John
Hays Hammond, chairman of Presi

sion, Immediate ly after adjournment
of the joint conference, the operators
declared they had made earnest ef
forts to reach an agreement, but the
