meeting OF the anthracite board Of
Cancellation held here at the request OF
the miners. the operators presented
plan for the settlement OF the check

questions which have caused so much
trouble in the upper coal fields.
The operators ask that the entire
controversy be submitted to Judge
George Gray, the chairman OF the
anthracite strike commission, his de-
cision to be final and binding. The
miners asked for time to consider the
proposition and action was deferre1 j
until the next meeting OF the board,

In view of the fact that President
Nichols OF d strict No. /, u. NJ. w.
OF A., in a public statement, proposed
that Judge Gray or the entire strike
commission be asked to settle the
question, il is quite likely that the
whole matter will eventually be sub
mit;ed to Judge Gray.
The grievance OF the employees OF
| Coke Bros. & Co., OF the Middle Coal
Fields was also taken up by the board.
/ The men claim that several OF their
number were discharged for loading
/ coal above a certain size, when they
had never received notice not to do
/ so.
The matter was temporarily settled
by resolution, presented by the oper-
ators, beng adopted to the effect that
the suspended employees be reinstat-
ed Immediately and, as compen-
sation for their loss, to allow them
30 per cent. OF their AVERAGE earnings
from tht date Of the grievence, the
earnings OF the month previous tc
their suspension to be the basis OF the
calculation.
1t was also recommended that I
compromise concerning the size o.
coal TO be loaded be effected by join
consult tion between the men anC
