PROPOSAL OF OPERATORS.
Agree to Appointment of Commission
by the President.

Agree to Appointment of Commission
by the President.
Washington, Oct. 15.-The coal Oper-
ators have agreed to the appointment
of a commission to be named by the
president of the United States to whom
shall be referred all questions at issue
between the companies and their en-
ployes, whether they belong to a union
or not, and the decision of the commits
sion shall be accepted by the oper,
atOrs.
The commission is to consist of an
army or navy engineer officer, an ex-
pert mining engineer not connected
the judges of the Unitedt States courts
of the Eastern district of Pennsylvania,
man of prominence. eminent as So
biologist, and man who by active par,
ticipation in mining and, selling coal
is familiar with the physical and com
mercial features of the business.
The operators also make part of
their proposition that the miners shall
return to work as soon as the commits
sion is constituted and cease all inter
ference with neAunion men. The com
mission to name date when>i its find
ings shall be effective and to govern

The statement of the operators was

the proposition made by President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
ofSAmerica, with additional conditions
which, it is believed, the miners will
accept.
]. P. Morgan came to Washington
with his partner, Mr.. Bacon, at the re-
quest of the coalfcompanies who de-
sired that as matter of courtesy their
statement should be shown to the
president before it was made public.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 15.-President
Mitchell was asked at noon by the cor
respondent of the Associated Press
whether he and the district officers had
the power to consider the operators
plan and end the strike. His reply
was:
Speaking without special reference
to the statement issued by the coal
operators it is rule of our organiZa-
ton that no settlement can be made by
the officers of the union without the
consent of a delegate convention"

ers' chief refused to say whether a con
Vention call will be considered at once
or where and when such a meeting, if
held, will take place. He also declined
to say how long it would take to- get
the delegates together.
Mr.. Mitchell continues to decline to
answer all questions as to whether he
is for or against the operators plan as
a whole or part. He has not yet re-

TAKING TIME TO CONSIDER.
President Mitchell Refuses to Discuss
the Proposal.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 15.-President
Mitchell of the miners union refuses
point blank to talk for publication, at
this time en- the new proposal for arbi-
tEation(of the strike laid before Presi-
dent Roosevelt by the presidents of
the coal carrying railroads. No official
informahon.san be had as to his views
and he, himself does not know whether
he will make a statement later in the
day.
The news of the new effer was vari-
ously received by the striking miners of
the region. 1t did not become known
until we'll in the morning and there
were many different views taken by the
men. There is a large number of mine
workers who favor a rejection of the
offer as formulated by the operators,
while there are equally as many who
see some good in the offer. The min
ers, however, have the greatest conf
denee in the judgment of their leader
and it is certain they will leave the
matter in his hands to work out.
The citizens of the region generally
are rejoicing at the new turn of af-
Fairs and feel confident that the step
jus1taken by the operators will result
in much good if not speedy settle.
meAt> of the great conflict.
President Mitchell received the news
from the representatives of the press
after a. m, the moment it was flashed
heke from Washington. He had been
informed by the correspondents that a
conference was in progress in the
White House and decided to wait to
hear what its result would be.
Has No Statement to Make.
He Immediately retired after learn
ing of the arbitration offer and refused
to have anything to say. He came
down from his room at $3.50 o'clock in
the morning and was again taken iI
hand by the reporters, but he once
more refused to discuss the PROPOSE
ton, saying he had not read it. Later
in the morning, after he had read the
operators address to the public, he
told the newspaper men that he did
not know whether he would have any
thing to say duringlthe day. His at.
tention was called to the assertion in
the address that possibly only one
half of those on strike are members
of the union and he also declined to
DISCUSS this phase of the document.
Comparing President MitcheH's of
fer, made to the president of the Unit
ed States ten days ago, with that of the
operators just made, there are many
persons who look upon the operators
offer as a counter proposition and be-
lieve that the miners will treat it as
such. Mr.. Mitehell's offer to the presi-
dent was that he should appoint the
commission, The operators go that far
and step farther by STIMULATING that
the members of the commission must
be selected from various occupations or
professions suggested by the conba5
MES. Gossip at strike headquarters
showed that many strikers were
against the proposition, because no rec
ognized representative of the union is
recognized in the operators PROPOSE
ton, unless he can be selected under

RESTS WITH THE PRESIDENT.
Operators Reserved No Right to
Question Appointments.

New York, Oct 15-President
George F. Baer of the Philadelphia
and Reading arrived in New York from
Philadelphia during the day. He said
he was here to attend the regular
weekly meeting of the Temple Iron
company and had nothing to say on
the strike settlement. Prior to the
meeting. President Truesdale of the
Lackawanna said:
1.-THE whole matter rests with the
president. We reserved no right to
question the appointment of any indi-
vidual on the commission who the pres
ident may see fit to appoint on the
terms of the offer. do not know
whether the president intends to con-
'sult Mr.. Mitchell before deciding to
appoint the commission and have no
idea of it's possible makeup. If he soes
fit to appoint an arbitration commits
sion and take up our proposition, we
will not question the appointment OF
any individuals he may select"

tbs stipulation, "a man of prominence,
eminent as a sociologist."
Some Objections Cited.


Objection is also expressed to clause
3, which, the strikers say, limits the
president of the United States to select
a judge from about four men. In tact
the element against the latest offer OF
The operators pick flaws in almost ev-
cry clause of the new offer. Those in
favor of the plan feel that President
Mitchell should accept it and trust to
President Roosevelt to make the board
or commission as impartial as it is in
his power to do under the conditions
laid down by the operators. They dc
not favor counter proposition as is
being suggested by those against the
latest plan on the ground that it would
do no good and would cause pubic
sentiment, which the miners think is
with them, to turn toward the oper-
ators.
The best judgment of those who
have been associated with President
Mitchell through the strike, men who
have watched his every action and
talked with him privately, is that tho
arbitration plan is unsatisfactory to
him. Owing to the tremendous pres
sure being brought to bear on both
sides to end the conflict it is not i'm
probable that the miners leader will
waive his objection and advise that
the proposition be accepted.
The three district presidents are
not here, but they are on their way to
this city. They will hold conference
Immediately after they all arrive.
There is some talk that joint conven-
ton of the three anthracite districts
may be called and the whole matter
laid before the miners themselves.
The situation summed up, briefly, is
still mixed, but, the outlook for an end
ing of the strike at no very distant date
is regarded as hopeful.
