MINERS DON'T LIKE
THE LATEST PLANS.
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PACED

as a counter proposition to Mr.. Mitchell S
offer made to arbitrate at Washington.
Their greatest objection to it is that the
operators dictate 10 the President from
what class OF men he shall select the arbi-
traitors. and they charge the operators
with lack OF faith, in the President when
they 90 not give him a free hand to pick
the men he wants. Another objection to
it is that the President is limited to four
meE in selecting the jurist on the COM
mission.
A great many of the strikers think the
proposition should be accepted and that
the miners should trust to President
Roosevelt to do the best he can under the
conditions laid down by the coal road
presidents. An argument was made by
one miner al the Hart Hotel to-day, that
MIR. Mitchell could not well afford to turn
down the proposition after already offer
ing 10 permit the President to select the
members of the commission. There is
still a third view held by miners and tt at
is to refuse to accept the plan offered and
make Il counter proposition embodyirg
some Of the suggestions contained in the
operators offer. This was mentioned to
President Mitchell. bit he would make no
comment on it.
Strike headquarters presented an ami
mated scene all day and evening The
news ~f the operators proposal to arbi-
trate spread throughout the region quick
~. Towards noon. reports came IN from
outlying districts to the effect that many
men looked unfavorahy on the opera
tors proposition. which gave an indica-
ton OF what might be expected. This
was camper On the enthusiasm of the
citizens generally, who thought they saw
a ray OF hope for the ending of the strike
Arbitration talk has acted as a chec;:

BRITISH EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
Premier Balfour Says 1t is Chaotic
and Behind the Age.

and Behind the Age.
MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, October
IA notable addition to the controversy
over the governments education bill was
made tonight by Premier Balfour, IN
an address delivered here. The Premier
declared that the agitation agtnst and the
opposition TO the bill were due to mlsun-
derstantlinSs caused bI- false statements
of it's provisions and intentions. The gov
ernment had chosen to disturb educational
peace, because the existing system of edu-
cation was chaotic Intellectual and be-
hind the age, making Great Britain the
laughing stock OF other nations, and 1t
was bound, he Premier said. to provide
inferior education ard to coordinate all
the branches of public education under
the boroughs and county councils. II,
in doing this, the government had given
a tonic to the Liberal party, Mr.. Balfour
did not begrudGe it.
Continuing, the Premier asserted that a
ma jority of the people believed religion
should be taught in the schools but that
it did not agree as to what religion, and
tina. the only alternative was system
permitting (lenominational teaching in
schools wholly supported by rates, as well
as promoting it in those schools which
We're not wholly SO supported. The threats
the rates, the Premier said was unworthy
the citizens of free country. If the
government was defeated in this measure
there would be no hope Of educational re-
form, rs the asitators did not desire it.

CONCESSION TO HUMANITY.
What the Operators Say Regarding
Their Proposition to Settle

George F. Bier. of the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad, arrived here from Phil
adelphia to-day. He said he had come
to attend the regular weekly meeting CT
the Temple Iron Company.
DO YOU consider that the proposition
submitted to the President is in the ma
ture Of a recession from the stand taken
by the operators?" he was asked
Il happen to have drawn the propo-
sition myself Mr.. Baer replied, '.or at
least 1 had a. considerable part in pre-
pairing it and I may state that it en-
bodies ni:- opinions and views. Further
than that I cannot say anything
President Olyphant. of the Delaware
and Hudson, was asked if the public
would not look upon the proposition of
the operators as j concession to the
miners.
1t is not concession to the miners
he replied. 1T is a concession TO hui
mainly. It is 4 move taken to relieve
the distress prevalent throughout the
country.
President Fowler on being asked what
influences, If any. induced the operators
TO submit the differences with their men
TO arbitration, replied:
WHAT MOVED THE OPERATORS.
1t vas chiefly due to the pressure Of
pubic opinion, or rather. YOU might say
pub ic necessity. We recognized that the
public would suffer from scarcity of coal
If something was not done soon, and We
concluded that it would be honorable

the interests that we represent in order
that a way out of a serious predicamcnt
might be found. Many Of the schools were

one OF the men prominent in coal cir
cleS said to-day:
The arbitration proposition now before
President Roosevelt was formulated by
men whose names and interests are an
pended thereto. It is only fair to say
that Mr.. Morgan took an active part il.
the proceedings. and his suggestions Were
most Naluahle.
The opera tors realized that matters
had reached the stage where somebody
mad TO give way. AS men of common
sense. they knew that they could not
freeze the american pubic. Mr. Morgan
vas frank to say that something had
70 be done at once. or the hard coal in

President Gompers, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, tonight said:
''In my opinion the proposition as made
by the operators at least SO far as their
designation of who should be invited to
so on the Commission Of Arbitration Is
concerned, is an insult to the President
OF the United States ! desire that the
President should use his discretion in
the selection of the personnel of the
commission
Mr.. Mitchell has said that he will
be perfectly satisfied with whomsoever
the President selects. If the mine-owners
arc to be permitted to suggest who shall
constitute the Arbitration Commission.
why, in all fairness, should it not follow
that Mr.. Mitchell should likewise be
permitted 10 make suggestions as to the

that the President will decline to act
ON this proposition of the mine-owners
unless he is given q free hand"
