He Proposes an Unrestricted
Commission.
HE WILL NOT INSIST
UPON A RECOGNITION OF THE
MINERS UNION.
A Belief That the Operators Will Ac-
cept This Modification of Their
Proposition.

The most positive statement can be made
this afternoon that President Mitchell of
the miners union is going to submit to
President Roosevelt, and also to the coal
operators the following counter PROPOSE
ton
That the miners will accept the appoint
ment of a commission by President Roose
Welt for the settlement of the coal strike
and will abide by it's decision, but that they
will not accept a proposition which limits
the choice of the commission to any set or
class of men.
The proposition of Mr.. Mitchell will not
be worded at great length. but will set
forth the general idea that the miners are
willing to trust any commission composed
by Mr.. Roosevelt. so long as no restric
lions placed upon Its composition by
anybody.
The miners do not care whether the COM
mission consists of three. five or seven
men. and insist only on the appointment of
the commission by the President without re-
strictions of any kind.
Belief That Operators Will Accept
1t Is confidently believed this afternoon in
circles very close to President Roosevelt
that the counter proposition of President
Mitchell will be accepted by the operators,
and that within forty-eight hours Presi-
dent Roosevelt will have made the commits
sion and the miners will be the point of
receiving their instructions to return to
work
1t is understood this afternoon that at his
conference at 3 o'clock this afternoon with
President Roosevelt, President Mitchell
stated plainly and unreservedly his posi-
ton and informed the President that he
would submit his counter-proposition in
writing at once.
President Roosevelt therefore, Is at Iiber-
ty to communicate with the coal operators
at once the decision that has been reached
by the miners union.
In sending the counter-proposition to the
operators themselves Mr.. Mitchell thereby
required the operators to deal with the
union itself in making an answer
1t is not understood that Mr.. Mitchell is
going to insist upon the recognition of the
miners union fundamental basis of
arbitration by a commission He will SIM
ply revert to his original proposition made
to President Roosevelt week ago last
Friday, to abide by the decision of any
commission appointed by the executive
himself. AS stated. 1t is believed strongly.
that the coal operators themselves will ac-,
cept this proposition without much more
delay.
The conference between Mr. Mitchell and
Mr. Sargent broke up at go and Mr.
Mitchell returned Immediately to the White
House Secretary Root had left the White
House before the strike president arrived.
