NO SETTLEMENT TET.

(continued from First Page.) that we are to recognize the miners unior?" MT. Baer asked.
 'It certainly does,'' answered Cover nor odell quickly: "and there is no reason why you should not"
 Mir. Baer and Mir. Thomas rose to go, Mir. Thomas remarking that the matter would be presented to the other operators and that an early answer would be forthcoming. Mir. Baer said: I've, are to meet a committee Of the Manufacturers association on Tuesday and we may have an answer then.'
 The conference broke mp, MT. Baer and Mir. Thomas withdrawing. Sena- tors Platt, Penrose and Quay talked over the matter for a short time, and then they too separated the two Penn sylvanians announcing that they would go back to Harrisburg and discuss the situation with Governor Stone.
 Governor Odell was not in a talking mood when he left the conference. He went directly to the Fifth Avenue ho- tel and during most of the afternoon received callers. Mayor Low, Anson G. McCook, Edward Lauterbach. Con- gressmen Lessler and Littauer and Senator Platt were among his callers. To one of these the governor said:
 'The coal operators may postpone this matter until Tuesday. but I don't propose to postpone it. They are not acting fairly towards the people. be- Neve I shall find some remedy
 About o'clock John Mitchell, &C., companied by L. N. Hammerling of Wilkesbarre, called and had long con ference. While this was going on a despatch announcing that the operators < refused to consider the terms offered by the governor was received.
 When the conference was over Gover- nor Odell refused to say what had oc- cured, and Mir Mitchell was equally feticent. It is believed, however, that Governor Odell presented his proposi- tion for settlement to the leader of the s miners union, and that MT Mitchell said he would present it to the district presidents in the hope it would be ac- cepted.
 Governor Odell said: "Mr. Mitchell was eminently fair and showed every disposition to adjust the serious situa- tion."
 With the announcement that all the s conferees with the exception of Cover nor Odell had left town, some of the in terest in the matter dropped. Governor Odell at late hour was asked whether he had determined on any further move. He said:
 T have not received any official mo- tice of the rejection of our proposition"
 Has it been suggested that you call an extra session of the legislature?" was asked.
 have not thought of it as yet As I said, am waiting for an answer from the operators"
 The governor said tonight that he would go to Newburgh tomorrow to register and return here on Monday morning. Then he said ht would again take up the matter actively of no deci- sion was arrived at by the miners and operators. He positively declined to talk further fer publication.
 To-day's conference between men in official positions and President Baer and Chairman Thomas was absolutely barren of results. According to the statements made by the operators, the prospects of settlement are no more promising than they were yesterday.
 There is nothing to justify the asser- tion that negotiations will be resumed next Tuesday. As one of the coal pres idents put it. '"The incident is closed"
 "The publicists, said this gentleman, made a number of suggestions, all of which we turned down. Those included q ton per cent. increase in pay, a de- crease of working hours, and recogni- tion of the union, as well as number of other propositions which we regard as equally undebatab1e. In fact, we found it impossible to negotiate with them and said so.
