further concessions, his aim being to
reach a common accord between min
ers and operators whereby the labor
dispute may be finally disposed Of and
the mining of coal resumed.
Mr.. Mitchell in his counter propcsi-
ton insisted that President Roosevelt
be given free hand in the selection
OF Tie BOARD or arbitration, and that
the terms under which the operators
propose 10 create that board be re-
modelled, at least to some extent 1t
is understood also that the wording
of the mine operators proposition,
emitting any reference to the Miners
Union. does not meet Mr.. Mitchells
approval. He desires if possible to
obtain some formal recognition Of the
union, although that is a technically
which he may waive subsequently, as
by any agreement to ar0itrate the con-
troversy the miners will get a general
recognition of their organization. Mr..
Mitchell also expressly opposed the re
stricBon made in the operators prop
osition limiting the selection of a fed.
eral Judge, as one of the arbitrators, to
a particular jurisdiction.
Mr.. Mitchell assured the president
of his anxiety to end the strike. bnt
said that the miners were firm in theiI
position and that he could not AFFORD
to sanction any proposition that would
sacrifice their interests at this time
He was willing, however, to dispense
with minor details and indicated hi
intention to demand only an arbitra
ton board which should be selected
fairly with respect equally to the in
terests of both parties to the contro

Republicans in this city claim that
the calling of the special session with

accomplished. If the General Assembly

balloting for senators could not be
