MINERS TRUSTEES CONVENED.
Called to Meet This Morning by Pres
ident Mitchell, After White
House Conference.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 16.-The ex-
ecutive board members Of the three
anthracite districts Of the United
Mine Workers of America will hold
a Joint meeting here at 10 o'clock this
morning to consider a proposition TO:
ending the strike which President
Mitchell will lay before them with a
view Of calling a delegate convention
Of the striking mine workers to pass
upon it. The call was sent out yes
terday afternoon as result Of a tele-
phonic message sent by Mr.. Mitchell
after his conference with President
Roosevelt at Washington. 1t was diff
ficult last night to say what the out
come will be, but one thing seems to
be sure, and that is that considerable
progress is being made toward the
end Of the struggle.
Likely Got Presidents Interpretation.
No one here knew last night the
exact nature Of the proposition Mr..
Mitchell brought back with him from
the national capital, and It was prob
able no one would know it excepting
the three district presidents and Ma
tional Secretary-Treasurer Wilson
until the strike leader laid 1t before
the three boards. In his public state
ment Of Tuesday night the strike
leader said nothing would be done un-
til he was in possession Of the full
meaning Of the operators proposed
arbitration plan, and it is likely he
received the presidents interpreta-
ton yesterday. II was understood
that at least a majority Of the board
members was opposed to the plan,
but If the president gave Mr.. Mitch
ell an Interpretation Of the proposal,
there is a. likelihood that conven-
ton will be called to consider 1t.
There is a general belief that a con-
vention will be called, no matter
what sort Of proposition is laid be-
fore the boards. Some Of the miners
are Of the opinion that Mr.. Mitchell
may have offered a compromise prop
osition by which the operators. and
miners would have equal representa-
ton on an arbitration commission.
A great majority Of the rank and file
are still opposed. like most Of their
board members, to accepting the op-
orators propositfon. as they nov M

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE great an
thracite coal strike is settled at last.
A commission of six persons, with a
seventh, Mr.. Carroll I. Wright, as
recorder, will adjust differences be-
tween operators and miners. Presi-
dent Mitchell, of the Miners Union,
will take the necessary measures to
call the strike off, The president will
urge immediate resumption Of mining,
and operators are expected to begin

was off was made by Secretary Root
with exhuberant good humor at the
white house shortly after o'clock.
Organized labor has a representative
on the commission in the person Of E.
E. Clark, grand chief Of the order Of
Railway Conductors, named as a socio-
logist. The president added Bishop
Spalding, of Illinois, to the list Of five
members suggested by the operators.
AS named the commission is perfect
ly satisfactory to both miners and op-
orators. Assent of the miners was
given through President Mitchell and
Mr.. Sargent, commissioner Of immi'
grafton, and of the operators through
Messrs Robert Bacon and George W.
Perkins, of the banking firm of J. P.
Morgan & Co. The final outcome fol-
lowed a series of conferences, begin
ming with two during the day with
Mr.. Mitchell. and two during the night
with Messrs. Bacon and Perkins.
Events moved quickly at the last, the
president being determined Non a
speedy settlement The commission
will ASSEMBLE in a few days and
choose chairman, probably General
Wilson. 1t then will arrange for seS-
sions and testimony.
The following official statement an
nouncing the close Of the strike was
issued at the white house at 1:20 a. N.
this morning:
After conference with Mr.. Mitchell
and some further conference with
representatives of the coal operators,
the president has appointed the mem
bers of the commission to inquire into,
consider and pass upon all questions
al issue between the operators and
miners in the anthracite coal fields:
