Behind the closed doors of Governor Pinchot's office at the state house here miner and operator delegations presented their answers to the peace plan submitted to them by the state's chief executive last Wednesday. (By Jack Carberry) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 31.—The 155,000 workers in the anthracite coal districts of Scranton, Hazleton and Pottsville, were today preparing for another strike. At the 419 pits, mines and collieries of the three districts, the workers were turning out what many of them expected would be the last hard coal mined for weeks—perhaps months. Orders to the maintenance men—the pumpers, fan men, guards and mule tenders—instructing them to remain at their posts and keep the mines from flooding, were received today. The mining towns are taking the pending strike report calmly. Authorities are not expecting trouble, altho they have taken precautions. Pennsylvania state police last night visited saloons in many of the mining towns and ordered the places closed suspected of selling liquor. This precautionary move was directed by Major Lynn G. Adams of the state police. (By George E. Durno) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 31.—At midnight tonight a strike in the coal fields will be on.

Miners and operators meeting at noon today with Governor Pinchot will inform the Pennsylvania executive that as yet certain points of his proposal basis for settlement of the anthracite controversy are unacceptable and need clarification. While this reply will mean a walk-out as scheduled, the way to future negotiations will not be closed. Enough of the Pinchot plan is acceptable to serve as a basis for further work.

Only CARR WILL CONDUCT DETECTIVE AGENCY Today is the last day in office of O. K. Carr special investigator for Dial. Atty. A. P. Nelson's office.

Cravath, former civil deputy of Former Sheriff C. E. Jackson, with offices in most of the principal points in the county. County Auditor W. C. Jerome again refussed to honor the warrant for Carr's salary.

Carr's work for the county will have to be done by special aid in each individual case as it arises.
