WASHINGTON, Ju:v 14. A practical certalntv existed onIght that the United Mine Workers of America will refuse President Harding's offer of arbitration to settle the coal strike, both bitum inous and anthracite. John L Lewis. President of the Union, Wil liam Green, secretary-treasurer, nd Phllllo Murray. Vice-President, left a final conference at the White House with President Harding; and Secretary Davis Tate today determ ined. It was understood, to rec ommend a refusal of the govern ment's offer to the union policy, committee which will meet here tomorrow! The expected refuaal, It was said, will aoply to the anthracite, mines as well as the bituminous, although -mployers in the anthracite region nave accepted the presidents or fer practically without condition. The Union vlewnPlnt is that tho anthracite fields, with their poten tial production of 2.000.000 tona of coal a week should not resume work, because this coal supply, alone with non-union production of bituminous would lessen public pressure for .a strike settlement. The only light cast upon the Gov ernment s possible further course was a White House declaration to day that President Harding felt no doubt he had power to operate the mines In an emergency. The President might run the risk of impeachment In taking such a course. It was Indicated, but he was said not to fear such a pos sibility under existing conditions. The Union officials who have re mained In Washington since the break up of the general coal con ference have made their nosltlnnJ nlaln to officials. In demanding first) of all that arbitration as offered he made to apnlv to the semi-unionized fields of Weat Virginia and Psnnav van a where production nas been onlv partly crippled since the strike.

Discussion of the provision, which was strongly supported by Benttor Frellnghuyen, Republican, New Jersey, had not been con cluded when the Senate recessed, but a vote expected tomorrow. The embargo trovlsions were at tacked by Senator Moses, Republi can, New Hampshire, and King, Democrat, Utah. Senator Moses undertook to show the interlocking Interests of the Chemical Founda tion, the duPont Company and the Textile Alliance In the dye business of the country. He charged that- their subsidiaries, officers, stock holders, lobbyists and ."paid prop agandists" had been-the most ag gressive of all the "Insolent profl- leering crew", that had pushed the embargo legislation. Senator Moses fftno undertook to show the Chemi cal Foundation had obtained through misrepresentations the executive order of -Secretary of State Polk in February. 1019, by which it was authorized to license seized enemy patents and trade marks for dyes and many other chemicals, and charged also that F'rancis P. Garvan, as alien prop erty custodian, had sold these pat ents and trade-marks to himself as head of the Foundation for I2&0, 000, mere fraction of the true value. -Senator King also attacked the Chemical Foundation and declared that President Harding was to be congratulated for "having done his duty" in instructing the depart ment of Justice to proceed against the Foundation for the return of the Detents and trade-marks. He characterized a-s "high handed and indefensible" the action of Mr. Garvan in selling these patents and trademarks to the Foundation. All Allied Delegations Take Fling at Soviet Representatives.

Stressing the need of co-operation along all lines in Asheville and the community, Mr. Grove offered a suggestion of a way in which the healing power of the mountains can be brought within1 reach of hundreds who now find it impos stole to secure accommodations of the proper kind at rates within their means. - He also touched upon a plan for the construction of a large hotel that could be operated, at low 'cost during the Bummer season, giving visitors advantage of rates they are able to secure In a small town. Mr. Grove took occasion to lay stress upon the value of the farm ing community surrounding Ashe ville, and paid tribute to the Farm ers' Federation in which ' he has offered to invest $5,000 In stock provided another 116,000 will be raised locally, "I am pleased to know that the work I have done here Is thought to have been of benefit to Ashe ville " said Mr. Grove when the Nahna Tona committee presented him with the loving cup. "I am glad of it. I am Interested In the development of Asheville, nd have been for many years, I want to see the people of the whole country get the benefit of the cli mate and scenery of these moun tains." In a business concern of any sort, he pointed out, suocess can only he attained through co-operation among the employes. In av city, success can only be attained through co-operation among the citizens. Mr. Grove would be willing, he asserted, to pay a certain percent age of his gross returns from Ashe. tid ing of sanitariums for the proper care of the sick, provided all other business men ot Asheville would consent to a similar pro rata vol untary tax upon their business returns. Such sanitariums, - constructed through co-operation could be lo cated upon suitable sites outaide the city limits, and with proper supervision and management, wourd become successful and nf benefit to those who need help and at the same time of profit to the Investors. Such a move, however, would require the utmost co-operation to be successful, he empha sized, i Mr. Grove then touched upon the suggestion that there should be built in the city a large Sum mer hotel with accommodations for between 700 ' and 1,000, with the operation based upon small town fates. 8uch a hotel, he be-. lleves, would prove attractive to many who are now forced to the small towns but who would prefer to visit Asheville if they could se cure rates that would make this possible. The business people of the city he said, ought to realize the -im portance of the farms. He admitted great interest In the develop ment of the farming sections sur rounding Asheville, saying that the Farmers Federation Is an agency that is doing good work and de serves support. In conclusion he touched upon the thought that without co-operation, which la really a manifesta tion of community spirit, it is im possible to put over successfully big, projects, CHICAGO. July 14.
