PROPOSAL OF OPERATORS.
Agree to Appointment of Commission
by the President.

Agree to Appointment of Commission
by the President.
Washington, Oct 15.-The coal oper-
ators have agreed to the appointment
of a commission to be named by the
president of the United States to whom
shall be referred all questions at issue
! between the companies and their en-
| ployes, whether they belong to union
or not, and the decision of the commits
| sion shall be accepted by the oper
ators.
The commission is to consist of an
army or navy engineer officer, an ex-
pert mining engineer not connected
with the coal mining properties, one Of
the judges of the Unitedt States courts
of the Eastern district of Pennsylvania,
| &. man of prominence, eminent as So
biologist, and man who by active par:
ticipation in mining and, selling coal
is familiar with the physical and COM
mercial features of the business.
The operators also make part Of
their proposition that the miners shall
| return to work as soon as the commits
sion is constituted and cease all inter-

mission to name date when> its find
| ings shall be effective and to govern
conditions of employment between the
companies and their own employees for
at least three years.
The statement of the operators was
made public by authority of ]. Pierpent
Morgan. who, with hissgartner, Robert
BaeonA and Secretary Root, was in
conference with President Roosevelt
Fat the temporary White. House for an
hour and a half. The proposition is be-
lieved, by the administration to be SAT-
isfactory, to, the miners, as it covers
the proposition made by. President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
ofSA America, with additional conditions
which, it is believed, the miners will
| accept
]. P. Morgan came to Washington
with his partner, Mr.. Bacon, at the re-
quest of the coalfcompanies, who de-
sired that as matter of courtesy their
statement should be shown to the
president before it was made public.

Objection is also expressed to clause
3, which, the strikers say, limits the

a judge from about four men. In tact
the element against the latest offer OF
The operators pick flaws in almost ev-
cry clause of the new offer. Those in
favor of the plan feel that President
Mitchell should accept it and trust to
President Roosevelt to make the board
or commission as impartial as it is in
his power to do under the conditions
laid down by the operators. They do
not favor a counter proposition as is
being suggested by those against the
latest plan on the ground that it would
do no good and would cause pu5l:c
sentiment, which the miners think IS
with them, to turn toward the oper-
atorS.
The best judgment of those who
have been associated with President
Mitchell through the strike, men who
have watched his every action and
talked with him privately, is that tho
arbitration plan is unsatisfactory to
him. Owing to the tremendous pres
sure being brought to bear on both
sides to end the conflict it is not i'm.
probable that the miners leader will
waive his objection and advise that
the proposition be accepted.
The three district presidents are
not here, but they are ON their way to
this city. They will hold conference
Immediately after they all arrive.
There is some talk that joint conven-
ton of the three anthracite districts
may be called and the whole matter
laid before the miners themselves.
The situation summed up, briefly, is
still mixed. but, the outlook for an end
ing of the strike at no very distant date
is regarded as hopeful.

RESTS WITH THE PRESIDENT.
Operators Reserved Nc Right to
Question Appointments.

New York, Oct. - 15.-President
George F. Baer of the Philadelphia
and Reading arrived in New York from
Philadelphia during the day. He said
he was here to attend the regular
weekly meeting of the Temple Iron
company and had nothing to say on
the strike settlement. Prior to the
meeting President Truesdale of the
Lackawanna said:
1.-THE whole matter rests with the
president. We reserved no right to
question the appointment of any indi-
vidual on the commission who the pres
ident may see fit to appoint on the
terms of the offer. / do not know
whether the president intends to con-
Isult Mr.. Mitchell before deciding to
appoint the commission and have no
idea of it's possible makeup. If he soes

sion and take I'D our proposition, we
will not question the appointment OF
any individuals he may select"

TAKING TIME TO CONSIDER
President Mitchell Refuses to Discuss
the Proposal.

T'SPoSo's
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 15-President
Mitchell of the miners union refuses
point blank to talk for publication. at
this time en- the new proposal for arbi-
tEation@of the strike laid before Presi-
dent Roosevelt by the presidents : of
the coal carrying railroads. No, official
informaHon.san be had as to his views
and he. himself does not know whether
he will make a statement later in the
day.
The news of the new effer was vari-
ously received by the striking miners of
the region. 1t did not become known
until well in the morning and there
were many different views taken by the
men. There is a large number of mine
workers who favor a rejection of the
offer as formulated by the operators,
while there are equally as many who
see some good in the offer. The min
ers, however, have the greatest conf.
denee in the judgment of their leader
and it is certain they will leave the
matter in his hands to work out.
The citizens of the region generally
are rejoicing at the new turn of at.
Fairs and feel confident that the step
jusdtaken by the operators will result
in much good if not a speedy settle.
meAts of the great conflict. ~
President Mitchell received the news
from the representatives of the press
after 1 a.: M, the moment it was flashed
heke from washington. He had been
informed by the correspondents that a
conference was in progress in the
White House and decided to wait to
hear what its result would be.
Has No Statement to Make.
He Immediately retired after learn
ing of the arbitration offer and refused
to have anything to say. He came
down from his room at $3.50 o'clock in
the morning and was again taken in
hand by the reporters, but he once
more refused to discuss the PROPOSE
ton, saying he had not read it. Later
in the morning, after. he had read the
operators address to the public, he
told the newspaper men that he did
not know whether he would have any
thing to. say duringAthe day. His at.
tention was called to the assertion in
the address that possibly only one.
half of those on strike are members
of the union and he also declined to
discuss this phase of the document!
Comparing President MiteheA's of
fer, made to the president of the Unit
ed States ten days ago, with that of the
operators just made, there are many
persons who look upon the operators
offer as a counter proposition and be-
lieve that the miners will treat it as
such. Mr.. Mitehell's offer to the presi-
dent was that he should appoint the
commission. The operators go that far
and step farther by STIMULATING that
the members of the commission must
be selected from various occupations or
professions suggested by the~ conbaa
MES. Gossip at strike headquarters
showed that many strikers were
against the proposition, because no rec
ognized representative of the union is
recognized in the operators PROPOSE
ton, unless he can be selected under

MITCHELL VERY RETICENT
LEADER OF THE MINE WORKERS
REFUSES TO DISCUSS THE
!, OFFER MADE.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 15.-President
Mitchell was asked at noon by the cor
respondent of the Associated Press
whether he and the district officers had
the power to consider the operators
plan and end the strike. His reply
was:
Speaking without special reference
to the statement issued by the coal
operators it is rule of our organiza-
ton that no settlement can be made by
the officers of the union without the
consent of a delegate convention"
The three district presidents are on
their way here. President Mitchell
will Immediately go into conference
with them on the new offer. The min
ers' chief refused to say whether con-
Vention call will be considered at once
or where and when such a meeting, II
held, will take place. He also declined
to say how long it would take to- get
the delegates together.
Mr.. Mitchell continues to decline to
answer all questions as to whether he
is for or against the operators plan as
IA whole or part. He has not yet re-
Ceivad Official notification of the oper-
atelS' desire TO arbitrate.
One of the local leaders who cape in
from the outlying territory madesthis
statement in the hotel lobby:
The men as a rule are angry at the
proposition made by the operators.
They say they would rather go down
to straight defeat than surrender to
the operators on the arbitration plan
they propose"
This. however, must not be taken as
the sentiment of all the men. There
are many who see ray of hope IN the
situation. A disposition is shown

to Miners.
Washington, Oct. 15.-At noon it was
said at the Temporary White House
that no communication relative to the
proposition of the anthracite coal oper-
ators had been received from Presl-
dent John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers. The proposition was not
transmitted to President, Mitchell Off
ciaIly,s either by President Roosevelt
or by the coal operators. 1t was adj
dressed%to the public and it is as
sumed MI. Mitchell will take cogni.
zanse of it from the, press. In the
event he should not do so, however, it
is possible the president would official
~ notify him of the propositions of the
operators. Inasmuch as the communi.
cation of the operators was in the
shape of an address 10 the public it is
possible Mr. Mitchell may make his re-
ply in similar manner.
The president has agreed to appoint
the commission suggested by the coat
operators, provided such commission
should prove satisfactory to the min
ers.
The feeling. at the White House is
optimistic. The belief is general
among official and. civilian callers that
long step has been taken toward
final settlement of the strike. Until
Mr.. Mitchell makes his reply, NO fur
