THE STRIKE SETTLEMENT.

President Mitchell, of the mine work
ers' union, objects to certain provisions
of the operators arbitration proposal,
mainly those for the commission, but it
is said the offer will be modified, since
Mr.. Morgan did not expect its acceptance
unamended, and that it then will be APP
proved by the miners officials.
The miners president is expected in
Washington today.
At Wilkesbarre Mr. Mitchell said the
miners officials will issue statement as
soon as they are in possession of the full
meaning Of the operators proposition.
President Gompers, of the American
Federation of. Labor, says the operators
offer is ian insult to the President. "

conference of the coal operators in New
York by a committee representing the
National Association of Manufacturers,
which had previously conferred with
President Mitchell at Buffalo. The plan,
it is reported, provided for an advance
of 10 per cent. in wages, Mr.. Mitchell
agreeing to waive recognition Of the
union. IT will be considered by the
operators if the miners reject the latest
proposal presented to President Rose
welt.
A nun ber Of the operators said in in
teryiews that their offer to President
Roosevelt was a concession to public
opinion. President Baer states that he
drew it up, cor at least had consider
