Poor Outlook For Coal.
The situation around the cOllieries
was particularly lost sight of because
of last nights developments. but there
was no material change from that of
yesterday. The arbitration talk mas

MR.. eoMPERs' VIEWS.
Operators Proposition an Insult to
the President.

Operators Proposition an Insult to
the President.
Washington, Oct 14-President
Gompers Of the American Federation of
Labor. with whom Mr.. Mitchell has
been In constant communication and
consultation. declined all requests OF
newspapers for an expression OF opin-
ion on the proposition of the coal op-
orators, but tonight stated his views to
the Associated Press. Mr.. Gompers
said:
You can readily understand that I
want 10 leave this whole matter in the
hands OF Mr.. Mitchell and his coll
leagues. am particularly anxious not
10 say anything that might be con-
strued otherwise. ] win say that IN
my opinion the proposition made by the
operators. at least 50 far as their des-
ignatiOn of who should be invited to
go on the commission of arbitration is
concerned, is an insult 10 the president
of the United States. / desire that the
president shall use his discretion in the
selection of the personnel Of the com
mission. BY indlreetion II would seem
from the operators proposition that the
president has evil designs on the mine
workers. No one believes this. The
/ nNlEl NUTS lLulNdAE mat CLASS VI Ailtl
should be selected for the personnel Of
the commission. For instance. they
say that an expert mining engineer,
experienced in the mining Of coal and
| other minerals. and not in any way
connected with coal mining properties
shall be one of the members. In other
words. this one must be an expert min
er out Of job. This member must
either have been employed in the
mines as an expert or must expect or
I hope TO be employed in the future as
an expert. Another must be an en-
! inent sociologist. Well. who? Must he
/ be a speculative sociOlogist, a theOrist
or what? Another member is 10 be
some man actively participating in the
} mining and selling of coal and familiar
l with the commercial as we'll as the
[ physical part Of the business. This
! must certainly be one OF the operators
/ or one Of their representatives. No
other man familiar with the CONNER
/ clal features of the business in those
/ fields fits that description.
In the classes Of persons from whom
I the mine owners prescribe the commits
| sion shall be selected there is to be not
a single representative of the man who
/ digs coal, The man who works in and
about the mines.
Now, as a matter of fact. the entire
| question Of the selection and appoint
ment of a commission should be left 10
the president of the United States. Mr..
/ Mitchell has said that he will be per-
fectly satisfied with whoever the presi-
! dent selects. II the mine owners are 70
I be permitted to suggest who shall con-
stitute the arbitration commission

the members of the court so cordially.
Mr.. Ralston of Washington. one Of

General PAYNE in an interview today said
that the forthcoming message OF Presi-
