THE RESPONSIBILITY

tative of The Associated Press what
he had to say in regard 10 settlement

operators more than half way. They
had shown conciIiatory spirit and
know of no good reason why the prop
osition should not have been accepted
by the operators.
AS consequence, the responsibility
FOR the continuation of the strike rests
solely upon the failure Of the operators
to treat the proposition of their EN-
ployes CONSIDERABLY. The public should
understand that unsatisfactory as j.

This postponement was due, probably,

presidents of the Scranton local unions
of the United Mine Workers was held,
this afternoon. TO discuss the adysa bility
of taking aggressive steps towards clos

to let the matter rest for A while. The
fact that the end of the strike is gener

and which would have a tendency to do
