COAL MINERS TROUBLE.

swess 10 Proposal Of ASbitration -
IN impartial Beard.

Scranton, Pa, May s.-Last night
The situation In the threatened
miners strike hangs on answers that
are expected to come to a proposal
of arbitration emanating from yes
terday mornings session Of the
miners committee. This proposal
was evidently agreed upon informal
" during the night, for it was only
Is minutes from the time the meet
ing convened until adjournment was
had.
President Mitchell at the close Of
the session gave out the following
statements: The executive commit
tee of the anthracite mine workers
organization have proposed that all
questions at issue between them
selves and the anthracite mine opera
tors be submitted to an impartial
board Of arbitration, such board to
be selected by the industrial branch
Of the National Civic federation.
This proposition has been sent to the
operators by wire. The committees
are now awaiting replies"
1t is the prevailing opinion here
that unless the operators agree to
arbitration or make some counter
proposition which will contain a sub
stantial concession the committee Of
miners will declare for q strike.
