The Operators Offer.

The coal operators proposition. submitted
TO the President through Mr.. Morgan, ac-
ceptS the principle of arbitration 1t is
very great advance TO that extent over the
attitude Of the operators prior to the White
House conference of October 3. for the cor
porations had stood squarely on Mr.. Baer's
assertion that there was nothing to arbi-
trate." 1t Is an advance asswell from the
proffer made by them at that conference
which was for submission OF grievances
by the miners individually before a state
judge.
The operators latest proposition differs
in terms from the Mitchell plan. The Presi-
dent Is to have no part In the arbitration
proceedings. II Is practically assured that
he would not have accepted such role in
any case. He could not have done so with
regard for the dignity and the duties of his
office. There is no consideration to urge
MIN to assume such a responsibility. He
mas done his part In the settlement and so
well that the present prospects for peace
are due In very large measure to his inter-
vention.

Arbitration.

Arbitration wins. Everybody should re-
joice in that fact. Public sentiment has
forced arbitration upon the men who set
out to have none Of 1t. They could not
logger hold out in attitude of defiance
not only OF public sentiment but of the
pIainest public interests. Reminders came
from too many sources that 1t was wise to
Yield and not to stand upon the order of
yielding but yield at once.
The mine operators have yielded, and that
Is good. But one may we'll wonder at their
postponing the inevitable so long Never
had men in an embarrassing situation bet
ter opportunity to relieve themselves grace
fully and to some advantage than they had
when invited to the White House to receive
a request from the representative of all the
people to adjust their differences with the
miners. A prompt compliance with that re-
quest would have been stroke of the best
policy. The invitation was as unusual as
the situation em5a rrassing. But they
refused the request, and in offensive
manner; and every day since the denuncia-
tion of their course in every section of the
country has grown III volume and emphasis.
The investigation of the mining interests
in the anthracite coal regions of Pennsylva-
MIA should be as thorough possible. 1t
try should know the whole truth respecting
q subject about which much of an in
fammatory character has been written. If
one accepts the assertions of the mine oper-
ators he must believe that many of the
anthracite miners are little better than an
archists. If one accepts the assertions of
some of the miners he must believe that
the operators are as soulless the corpo-
rations they represent. On the one hand
the public has witnessed considerable dis
order In the neighborhood of the mines,
growing. undoubtedly out of the strike, and
on the other hand it has witnessed very
high-handed spirit on the part of those who
control the mines.
But both sides have been passing through
a period of storm and stress. Both sides
therefore have probably been thinking and
speaking in superlatives. At any rate, now
that passion is to subside, 1t will be of the
widest public interest to learn from a source
both authorized to inquire and competent
to digest precisely what the mining condi-
tons are in a section where differences have
been so radical and collisions so frequent.
When the country is thus informed to
wages paid and profits derived in this coal
region. together with other pertinent facts,
q great gain will have been made.
