There is wide difference of opin-

that it will succeed, but that some
of the controversial points will have
to go before the arbitrators.
It is not doubted that what
ever agreement, If one is reached,
will be approved by the commission
The agreement, however, will have to
be one that will provide reasonably

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 24.-The mine
workers, through their representa-
tives, have agreed with the mine own
ers to attempt to adjust the differen-
ces existing between them outside the
anthracite coal strike commission.
The commission has adjourned until
December 3 and most of the commits
sioners and out-of-town attorneys
have left for their homes.
Compromise Basis.
The proposition was made on com
promise basis, and negotiations, it is
expected, will be at once entered upon
with reasonable hope of settlement
with the aid of the arbitrators. The
rough proposition, which is to form
the basis of negotiations, is ten per
cent. increase IN wages, nine-hour
day and trade agreements between the
miners and the company by whom they
are employed. The only one of the
four demands not touched upon is that
of the weighing of coal by the legal
ton. While both sides have expressed
the willingness to settle their differ
ences among themselves, it is not to

They are mentioned only as a basis,
It is understood, from which settle

that the foundation already laid can
be wrecked by either party holding

tion, and thus leave the whole matter
in the hands of the commissioners,

as board of arbitration.
Credited to Macveagh.
It cannot be officially stated which
party made the proposition first. The
attorneys for both sides are averse to
talking, but those who were inclined
TO say something differ in their state
ments. An attorney for one Of the
railroads said it came from the miners
side, while one lawyer for the miners
said it came from the operators. An
other representative of the miners
said it was Spontaneous PROPOSE
ton. It is generally believed, however,
that the operators were the first to
make the proposition. Wayne Mac
Veagh, who carried on such brilliant
cross-examination of President Mitch
ell, is given credit for bringing about
the present situation. He went to
New York after he finished with Mr..
Mitchell and had a conference with
certain persons connected with the
coal industry, among them, it is re-
ported, j. P. Morgan. He was in New
York Friday in connection with the
matter.
Asked for Adjournment.
The commissioners were informed
of the new turn of affairs Thursday
night, and acquiesced in the proposed
arrangement. The subject did not di-
rectly come up in the public hearing
Friday, and the adjournment PROPOSE
ton was made ostensibly to permit
both sides to complete their work of
preparing documentary evidence.
Clarence S. barrow, of Chicago, one of
Mr.. Mitchell's attorneys, brought the
matter out when, near the close of
Fridays session, he suggested that the
miners be given little. more time to
prepare their evidence. The miners
wanted to present the due bills or
wage statements of thousands of min
ers running back for several years, and
they found that the task of presenting
