In dicating government belief that the strike crisis has passed, congressional Investigation began to bear upon the active participants in the settlement. The appearance last night of Dr. H. A. Garfield, whose resignation as fuel director was accepted yesterday by President Wilson, before the senate sub-committee investigating the coal j situation, was followed toda." by in-1 dications that Attorney-General Pal mer and other hijh officials would be called on this week to explain why plans of ' Dr. Garfleid were set aside and a compromise made with the miners' union on a basis which the former fuel administrator described as "contrary to fundamental prin- , ciples of government." Reramptioa Held Assured. Acting President John I Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America predicted today that by Monday night 95 per cent of the miners would be back to work. "Though it has been a difficult task to reach all of the men in the short time since the decision was reached." he said, "It is certain that they will go back." Restrictions imposed on the use of fuel during the strike gradually are being rempved under the scretion ary authority to rescind srch orders given the regional railrcad directors. Thus the working week will open ' j morrow with, a nearer approach to a normal jndustrial situation than any week since the strike started Novem ber 1. Control Yet Exercised. Although most of the .power to re scind the. various restrictions has been placed in the hands of the re gional directors, the railroad admin istration is continuing to exercise a supervisory control over bituminous coal and coke. This has been made necessary ' not alone by the resigna tion of Dr. Garfield, but also by the resignations of Cyrus Guerney Jr., assistant to Dr. Garfield, and John A. Alport, chief engineer, both of whom came back to Washington to serve with their chief when the fuel ad ministration was revived. These res ignations have practically put an end to the reinstated activities of the ad ministration. Appointment by President Wilson of a commission to supersede the fuel administration is expected this week. No intimations of the personnel have been given in official quarters, though the basts decided upon will make its composition include one mine worker, one operator and a rep resentative of the public. The three will have power to readjust wage scales above the present advance of 14 per cent to the miners, if decided, and also to advance the selling price of coal. The scale committee of the oper ators of the central competitive field. It was learned today, probably will meet in Cleveland Wednesday to con eider their attitude toward the strike situation.
