OPERATORS MEETING.
manufacturers Association Submits
Plan for Consideration.

ran Tor Consideration.
New York. Oct. 14.-The regular
weekly meeting of the coal operators
to-day was preceded by a conference
with a committee of the National As
sociation of Manufacturers, and at the
conference the salient points of a plan
to settle the anthra cite coal strike were
submitted by the manufacturers. The
operators will consider the plan while
the mine workers are reaching a con-
clus1on in regard to the proposition for
arbitration submitted to President
Roosevelt at Washington yesterday. A
member of the Manufacturers Commit
tee said that he knew the association
plan would be acceptable to Mr.. Mitch
ell. The same member of the commit
tee said that the manufacturers plan
would be considered by the operators
II the mine workers reject the plan
submitted to the President yesterday.
The operators began their meeting
Immediately after the conference with
the manufacturers. and at the close
of the meeting President Baer of the
Reading, said that no statement would
be given out regarding it. The mem
bers of the Manufacturers Commit
tee at the conference were: President
David Il. Parry of the association.
Frank Leake of Philadelphia, and Rich
ard Young of this city.
Mr.. Leake said that the proposition
of the Manufacturers Association had
not been formally presented to the OPP
orators, but that it's salient points had
been discussed. He said that at pres
ent the bituminous miners are organ
lied, and that if the anthracite miners
became organized on similar lines, it
was his belief that the price of coal
would be permanently advanced with
the result that manufacturers would
have to advance the prices of all arti-
Giles manufactured. He said his as
ISOLATION was desirous of having prices
remain as they now are.
According to President Parry's sec
rotary at the meeting between Mr..
Mitchell and the representative of the
Manufacturers Association at Buffalo
last week. and the secretary says they
have stenographc notes of the proceed
ings, Mr.. Mitchell agreed to forego the
recognition of the union in his demands
upon the operators if there was a gen
eral advance in wages of 10 per cent
While the coal operators meeting
was in progress j. p. Morgan and his
partner, Robert Bacon, arrived in the
city from Washington, and they went
directly to Mr.. Morgan's office.

Grafton had passed a motion. pledging
confidence in the Liberal leader in the
House of Commons, Campbell Banner
man, had sent out circulars of Lord
Rosebery's Liberal League, with the
view. so it was alleged, of turning the
federation into an instrument of the
former premier. In spite of resolu-
lions to the contrary, Lady Helen per-

in desiring to get rid of her, adding;

The wife of another member of Par

Committee had deliberately tempered
with Lady Helen's circular by issuing
it with underlined sentences which
were not marked by the president.
This statement was greeted by a cho-

assembled. Then the delegates stood
up and shouted, and wild confusion
prevailed while the tellers for the vote

of the ladies chosen. said she could
surely be trusted, whereupon all the
other tellers, believing their honor to
be impugned, refused to act Finally
a ballot was taken, and after the up

might make night attack on Caracas,
and in view of the fact that Vice

troops available, 800 to reinforce Pres

Consequently, the seat of the gov
eminent may be in railroad car or
in some other place unknown to the
general public. The Venezuelan gov
eminent also was actuated in this mat
ter by desire not to reply to the
questions of the foreign ministers, who
have been daily asking for redress as
the result of injuries inflicted on the
persons or properties of citizens of the

Tries to Explain Provisions and In

Bill.
Manchester, Oct. IA notable adj
dition to the controversy over the gov
ernment's education bill was made to-
night by Premier Balfour in an adj
dress delivered here. The premier de-
clared that the agitation against and
the opposition to the bill were due to
misunderstanding caused by false
statements of its provisions and ;rten-
lions. The government had chosen to
disturb educational peace because the
otic, Intellectual and behind the age,
making Great Britain the laughing
stock of other nations. and it was
bound, the premier said, to provide in
ferior education and to coordinate all
the branches of public education under
the boroughs and county councils. IT.
in doing this, the government had
given a tonic to the Liberal party, Mr.
Balfour did not begrudge it.
Continuing, the premier said a ma
Jority of the people believed religion
should be taught in the schools but
that 1t did not agree as to that re-
ligion, and that the only alternative
was system permitting denominations

ed by rates, as well as promoting it in
those schools which were not wholly
so supported. The threats of the non
conformists to refuse to pay the rates.
the premier said, were unworthy the
citizens of a free country. If the gov
eminent was defeated in this measure
there would be no hope of educational
reform, as the agitators did not desire
it
