 Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. l4.-Presi- dent Mitchell refuses point blank to talk for publication at this time on the new proposal for arbitration of the strike which was laid before Pre- sident Roosevelt last night by the presidents of the coal roads. News of the new offer did not become known until we'll along in the morning. Many different views were taken by the men. A large number favor the rejection of the offer as formulated by the operators, while there are evi- dently as many who see good in the offer. The objections offered are that the selection of the members of the commission is restricted by the operators offer and that no direct of the miners is pro- vided. The associates of Mitchell believe that the plan is unsatisfactory to him, but owing to the tremendous pressure which has been brought to bear on him it is not improbable that he will waive his objections and ad- wise that the proposition be accepted. The outlook is considered hopeful.
 It is generally understood that the rule of the miners organization that no settlement can be made by the officers without the consent of delegate convention will be adhered to. Three district presidents ar rived here today for conference with Mitchell over the operators pro position. It cannot even be sur missed what action they will take though as all are non committal.
 Washington, Oct. l4. At noon to- day no communication had been re- ceived from President John Mitchell relative to the proposition of the an- thracite coal operators. The offer was not transmitted personally, but was addressed to the public and it was assumed that Mitchell would take cognizance of it from the press.
