OFFER TO ARBITRATE
ANTHRACITE MINERS MAKE PRO.
POsAL FOR SETTLEMENT OF
WAGE QUESTION:.

PERSON He May Appoint, as Chair-
nan or Umpire-OPinion General
That Operators Will Reject Offer.
New York, April 6.-The hard coal
miners of Pennsylvania during the day
proposed to the operators that all dis
putes be referred to arbitration, the
tribunal to be composed of the board
ii Cancellation created by the anthra-
cite strike commission in 1903, with
Judge George Gray Of Delaware, or
any person he may appoint, as chair
man and umpire. If the operators &C.
cept and a convention Of mine workers
approves the plan the 100000 men now
idle in the anthracite fields will return
to work at once. While it had been
reported for several days that the min
ers might ask that the differences be
arbitrated, the proposition was great
surprise to the mine owners, as they
did not believe the union leaders were
ready to leave the controversy to O
third party at this time
That the operators will accept the
miners proposal as submitted is not
generally believed In fact it is init
mated they may fatty refuse the offer
On the ground that existing conditions
are the result of arbitration. The EN-.
NlOyers promised to give President
Mitchell and his men an answer on
Monday, When another meeting of the
two sub committees will be held.
The arbitration proposal was read
- tie operators by Mr.. Mitchell and
along with it he submitted the original
demands of the miners, the reply Of
the Operators, in which they proposed
that the strike commission award be
renewed and continued for three years.
and the letter of Governor Penny
packer, who urged both parties to
make all honorable efforts to come to
an agreement.

REYNOLDS visited in New York city. II
we'll merits a description in those par
ticuIars in which il Is vastly superior
to similar concerns In Chicago. The
two upper floors used for cattle pens
are paved with well-laid bricks and
cement with side walls Of brick, the
TOD floor being covered to protect the
cattle from the weather. The killing
floor Is paved with bluestone. SlOping

large air shaft for special ventilation
and abun liant windows The ceiling
and upper side walls are of hard
cement. with steel CrOsSbeams and
cement-faced steel supports. The lower
side walls are covered with white porce-
lain brick. When the slaughtering of
each day is finished. water is tuned on.
and in nOt more than hfJeen minutes
the room is so thoroughly cleansed that
all peTceptiblc OdOTS and traces of the
work are removed.
Other rooms. such as those for cool
ing and storage. are Of similar cOnStruc-
ton to the killing floor. White porce-
lain-lined bricks and curved tiles join
floors and side walls, that no corners
may retain dirt and refuse. Ventila-
tion is everywhere excellent and light
abundant, both these matters having
evidently received careful conSlderat ton

about which a communication had
been received. stating that it could do
no harm and might help some poor

Alderman Day asked him what a
postal savings bank was, but the AL
derman from the Third Ward admit
ted that he did not know. Alderman
Mowery said he had learned about
them when he was postmaster and
had taken part in several applications
for their establishment, and spoke of
the tendency to thrift which they
had caused In other countries. How
ever he declared it brought up the
whole matter Of government owner

he thought the resolutions would
have any weight with congress he
would want to inquire as to its effect
on existing savings institutions before
voting for the motion. The resolu.
tion was declared carried.
