strike commission three vars ago. pur-
suant 20 the presidents injunction, TO
endeavor TO establish the relations be-
tween the employers and the wage earn
ers In the anthracite region on just and
permanent basis and as far as possible to
do away with any causes for the recur-
renee Of such difficulties as these which
you have been called upon TO settle
you say that It is not a sufficient an
swer 10 say that because a question was
arbitrated three years ago the same ques-
tion would not be a proper subject Tor
investigation at this time If any new
facts have arisen In the meantime these
might properly be investigated. Nothing
new Is suggested TO us in your communi-
cations. but Il can scarcely be claimed
that questions already fully considered
shall be re-examined because one OF the
parties thinks 1t may upon rehearing
secure a different decision.
'If that were so controversy would
never end Indeed. I'm the present case you
propose that I'm order TO make an ar
rangement for only one years duration.
the strike commission shall re-examine
questions which il took six months TO de
eide.
PRINCIPLES ESTABLISHED.
''To resume, the fundamental principles
regarding the conduct of this business.
have all been established by the strike
commission No reason is suggested why
they should be retired.
LAS TO the only matters regarding
which you have made the least sugges-
tion that conditions have changed, we
have suggested that the existence and ef-
feet OF such change be considered by the
strike commission, and that its award be
I'm force for three years, so that political
considerations may have as little infiu-
ence as possible upon these business ques-
tions
You are responsible for the suspension
OF work There was no good reason for
ordering the men TO stop work pending
our negotiations, which had been delayed
by you. especially In view of the fact that
we were willing to continue TO pay the
wages fixed by the strike commission.
I'VE have no other suggestions to make
than those contained I'm our former propo-
sitions. and we regret that you have de-
clined both OF them. We have nothing
further 10 offer"

New York. April 1S.--A sub committee
OF presidents OF the anthracite coal-carry-
ing railroads and mine operators held a
meeting Yesterday and drew up letter o
President John Mitchell OF the United
Mine Workers Of America I'm which the
presidents again declare that there is
nothing TO arbitrate except the question
whether there shall be any arbitration.
This reply is made in response TO Presl-
dent Mitchells recent amended PROPOSE
ton OF arbitration.
The operators do not. however refuse
point blank 10 accept Mr.. Mtchell's latest
plan. They assert that all the differences
between the miners and their employers
have been decided by the strike commits
sion and that there is no reason why an
other attempt should be made to arbitrase
them.
After describing the previous steps OF
the two sides and commenting on the
plans suggested by the miners the opera
tors aver that the miners have rejected
all the propositions and that they have
nothing further TO offer. The letter says:
'In 1902 you assented 10 the proposition
OF the operators that 'all questions at is
sue between the respective companies and
their own employees. whether they belong
10 union or not should be decided by
the Anthracite coal strike comission. Ac-
covered and decided all such questions.
Therefore, we have heretofore pro-
posed 10 you that the relations thus es-
tablished by arbitration be continued for
a term OF three years-tffe- sstftte- period tts
that fixed by the Strike commission. This
offer you have rejected.
NO SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE.
Your present proposition is that all re-
lations between every employer and his
employees shall be fixed and controlled by
n single instrument. Originally you sug-
gested that this should be form OF con-
tract with the United Mine Workers Of
America: now YOU suggest that 1t shall
be with your committee as representa-
tives OF the anthracite mine workers
"1nasmuch as the authority and stand
ing Of your committee as representing
anyone depends wholly upon It's designa-
ton by convention OF the United Mine
Workers as the representatives, of that
body II is clear that the change proposed
Is not substantial. but merely formal and
raises no new question
This Is evident also from the fact that
your proposition contains numerous pro-
visions for action by the organization
and the district officers OF the United
