LONDON, Sept. 23. - The British coal strike may reach a climax within twenty-four hours, it was predicted today. Within that time may come a decision for peace negotiations or a decision to dig in for a long drawn out fight.

Meanwhile the operators are flatly rejecting all overtures for peace based on proposals for the negotiation of a national agreement.
