How the MinerA Feel.

SCRANTON, Pa, Oct 16-The min
ers who will discuss the arbitration
proposition at all are generally adverse
to its acceptance, but, as in all other
things, satisfied to do whatever Presi-
dent Mitchell thinks best. There is n
strong hope prevalent among the peo-
pie at large that President Roosevelt
will show Mitchell that despite the lin
itations regarding the selection of the
arbitrators a fair. just and impartial
tribunal could be selected and that
Mitchell will be induced to favor the
acceptance Of the proposition. There is
no denying q quiet feeling exists
among SO pportion of the strik-
ers favorable to accepting the proposi-
ton even though it is not all that the
United Mine Workers would have it
to be. As one miner put it: We've
been asking for arbitration. Now we
have it. There may be some few flaws
to the proposition, but we can't expect
to get everything we want"

Then. too the Governor has been
informed by prominent Republicans

Executive Boards of Three An

CONVENTION IS LIKELY.
Public Kept in1Ixnorance of
Exact Purpose Of Presi-
dent Mitchell's Visit
to Washington.

I WIKESBARRE, Pa, Oct. 16.-Pres-
idcnt Mitchell returned from Washing
ton at a. H., and the executive board
members of the three anthracite dis.
tricts of United Mine Workers of
America began joint meeting here at
10 o'clock to consider proposition for
ending the strike which Mitchell has
laid before them with view of calling
delegates convention of the striking
mine workers to pass upon it.. The CAL
was sent out yesterday afternoon as a
result of a tels,,hon!c message sent by
Mr. Mitchell after ms conference with
the president at Washington. 1t is diff
ilcult to say what the outcome of the
meeting will be, and no one here knows
the exact nature Of the proposition Mr..
Mitchell brought back with him from
the national capital.
There is Il general belief that con-
vention will be called no matter what
sort Of proposition is laid before the
boards. Some Of the miners are of the
opinion that Mr.. Mitchell may have
offered compromise proposition by
which the operators and miners would
have equal representation OH an arbi-
tration commission. A great majority
OF the rank and file are still opposed,
like most of their board members, to
accepting the operators proposition as
they now understand it.
The joint conference today is made
up of thirty-seven persons. Those pres
ent are Mr.. Mitchell, National Secre-
tary-Treasurer W. b. Wilson, who ar
rived here yesterday the three anthra-
cite members of the national executive
board the president, vice president.
secretary and treasurer of each dis
trict, the seven board members from
each Of the upper and lower districts
and the six board members Of the mid,
die district. If convention is held. it
will probably be called together with
In four days. About 500 delegates
would be in attendance. Mr.. Mitchell,
following precedence. will be elected
president, with Mr.. Wilson. if he re-
mains in the east, acting as secretary.
The general strike situation is un-
changed. few additional men having
been recruited by the coal companies.

the sun is much larger than the

it dwindles to point. The rapidity
