Operators Skeptical.

The operators take the view that the
demands which the miners have pre-
sentAd are practically the same ones
that were considered and decided upon
by the anthracite commission three
years ago. p nd that no new principles
or situations have arisen since then
Il is not known whether the joint con-
ference this afternoon viii be the de-
Gliding one. as it is the intention Of the
miners TO take up each of the demands
seriatim and explain the reasons and
causes. so that there may be no misun-
derstanding and the operators may
know the position OF the miners fully.
This exposition may take some time.
for the operators have stated that they
will give the miners Representatives as
many hearings as Mitchell may desire.

this morning on the outlook The posi-
ton OF the operators 10 all outward APP
pearances was unchanged.
They say they viii refuse all the de-
mands OF the miners. and when the
proposition for arbitration was sug-
gested they said that the anthracite
commission represented the arbitration
principle. and that since the miners had
virtually refused TO abide or continue
operations under the commission s
award, there could be no further rea-
son for submitting the same questions
TO another arbitration board.
