Reply of the Miners Ready.

New York, SPECIALIZATION having
the counter arbitration plan of the
anthracite operators under consider
alton nearly aH' day, the general
scale committee of the hard coal
miners completed the draft of their
reply and will present it to the COM
mittec of mine owners at the joint
session to be held here. The strictest
secrecy surrounds the work of the
committeeman. It Is believed the
miners have decided TO accept the
operators offer that the anthracite
strike commission take up the dis
pute, but will ask that the tribunal
be permitted to consider the original
demands with certain important mod
fcations. The concessions said to
have been decided upon are that, in
stead of an agreement being entered
into between the operators and the
United Mine Workers of America, it
be made with the anthracite mine
workers; that the check-off be limit
ed to the wage workers who agree 10
an assessment to defray the expenses
incurred in carrying out the miners
part Of the agreement instead of all
mine workers-union and non-union
being compelled to contribute, and
that the duration of the agreement be
left to the commission. If this pro-
position is accepted it would leave
the commission free to take up the
>>smand for an increase in wages, an
eight-hour day, uniform pay for all
classes Of employment paid by the
day or ,>onth, reconstruction Of the
conciliation board and a number of
minor grievance. The operators
want to limit the INQUIRY to wages
and a method for the adjustment of
complaints.
