city.
Mr. Leake said that the proposition
Of the manufacturers association had
not been formally presented to the
operators, but that its salient points
had been discussed. He said that at
present the bitumInous miners are
organized and that IL the anthracite
miners became organized on similar
lines it was his belief that the price
of coal would be permanently ad-
vanced, with the result that manufac-
turers would nave TO advance the

by the coal road presidents. An ar
gument was made by one miner at
The Hart hotel yesterday, that Mr.
Mitchell could not we'll afford to turn
1own the proposition after already
offering to permit the president to
select the members of the commits
sion. He thought the president
would appreciate the trust put in him
and see that the miners had fair play
Others in the same class thought
that not much harm could be done
by accepting the proposition, but that
In the end much would result.
There is still a third view held by
cept the plan offered and make
counter proposition embodying some
Of the suggestions contained in the
operators offer. One proposition sug-
gested was that the operators, the
miners and the president each select
a number CT men to act as : board
This was mentioned to President
Mitchell, but he would make no com.
ment on it.
A Leader Attacks Proposition.
Shenandoah, Pa Oct. 15.-The
opinion of the strike leaders here IS
that Mr. Mitchell will not accept the
proposition submitted to President
Roosevelt by the mine operators. P.
]. Sweeney, a prominent leader, said:
THE proposition is not fair. and
don't think Mitchell will accept it.
and IL he did the mine workers would
try to divert public sympathy from
the miners, but 1t will fail Of its pur-
pose, because our cause is just"

MINERS MAY
NOT ACCEPT

it is that the operators dictate to the
president from what class OF men he
shall select the arbitrators, and
charga the operators with lack Of
faith in the president, when they viii
not give him a free hand to pick the
men he wants. another objection to
it is that the president is limited to
four men in selecting the jurist on
the commission. Neither are they
sure, they say, that labor will be rep
resented. because the proposal does
not specifically say so. and add that
they have no assurance that "a man
prominence, eminent as a sociolo-
gist," would cover this objection.
