TURN IN COAL HEARING
The Operators and Miners Will Try to
Make Agreement.
COMMISSION BOARD OF CANCELLATION,
Understanding Arrived at Between the coun-
sci and Aequieseed In by the Commission
That, Peudlng an Adjournment to Allow
the securing Of Data, Efforts are TO be Made
to Agree on the Points at Issue.

Scranton, Pa. (SpeciaD.--The mine
workers, through their representatives,
have agreed with the mineowners to at
tempt to adjust the differences existing
between them outside the Anthracite
Coal Strike Commission. The PROPOSE
ton was made on a compromise basis,
and negotiations, it is expected, will be
at once entered upon, with a reasonable
hope of settlement with the aid OF the
arbtrstors. The rough proposition,
which is to form the basis of negotia-
tions, 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 eN-
pressed the willingness to settle their
differences among themselves. II is not
to be construed that It carries with IT the
acceptance of the terms proposed. hey
are mentioned only as basis. 1t is
understood, from which a settlement is
to be effected. Ii 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 sort of board of conciliation
rather than as a board of arbitration.
Few persons were aware that an at
tempt would be made at an outside set
tlement until it was practically so inti-
mated by Judge Gray, the chairman OF
the commission, who read a carefully
prepared announcement from the
bench The move, one of the most
important in the whole story OF the coal
strike. created a mild sensation when it
became known.
1t is said it was brought about by
both sides seeing that the proceedings
before the commission would be inter-
minable. and that in the interminglng
OF the lawyers for both sides the out
side agreement proposition was
broached and taken up.
1t cannot be officially stated which
party made the proposition first The
attorneys for both sides are averse to
talking, but those who were inclined
to say something differ in their state
ments. An attorney for one OF the
railroads said it came from the miners
side,- while one lawyer for the miners
said it came from the operators. An
other representative OF the miners said
it was a spontaneous proposition.
1t is generally believed, however, that
the operators were the first to make the
proposition
