which is TO form the basis OF ncgotia-
tons. is 10 per cent. increase IN wages.
a nine-hour day and trade agreements
between the miners and the company by
whom they are employed The only
one OF the four demands not touched
upon is that of the weighing OF coal by
the legal ton. While both sides have OK
pressed the willingness to settle their
differences among themselves. 1t is not
to be construed that il carries with il the
acceptance OF the terms proposed. hey
are mentioned only as basis. II Is
understood. from which a settlement Is
to be effected. 1t is possible that the
foundation already laid can be wrecked
by either party holding out too strongly
against some question. and thus leave
the whole matter in the hands OF the
commissioners. who in the meantime
will act as a sort OF board OF conciliation
rather than as board Of arbitration.
Few persons were aware that an at
tempt would be made at an outside set
Element until it was practically so inti-
mated by Judge Gray the chairman OF
the commission, who read carefully
prepared announcement from the
bench" The move one OF the most
important in the whole story OF the coal
strike. created mild sensation when II
became known.
1t is said it was brought about by
both sides seeing that the proceedings
before the commission would he inter
minable. and that in the intcr3.ingling
OF the lawyers for both sides the out
side agreement proposition was
preached and taken up.
1t cannot be officially stated which
party made the proposition first The
attorneys for both sides are aversc to
talking. but those who were inclined
to say something differ III their state
ments. An attorney for one OF the
railroads said il came from the miners
side. while one LAWYER ior the miners
said il came from the operators. An
other representative OF the miners said
il was spontaneous proposition.
