The Former Agreement Was Amend-
 ed at To-day's Session.

New York, April 12.-Another eff fort will be made to-day by the sub committees representing the anthra- cite coal operators and the mine workers to reach an agreement and send the men back to work The miners who have had under consider ation since Tuesday the counter arbi- tration plan of the operators which provides that the strike commission of 1902-3 take up the dispute so far as it relates to wages and method for the adjustment of complaints, are ready to submit their answer. Mem bers of the committee had intimated that they will accept the strike com mission if 1t is permitted to take up all the demands made by the wage workers, some of which they have greatly modified The miners will insist that the eight hour demand and readjustment of wages and re- construction of the conciliation board be taken up by the arbitrators. If the operators refuse to entertain the miners amendments to the em- ployers plan and insist that their latest proposition be accepted as sub mitted the miners may stop negoti- ations, call convention and declare that a strike exists. President Mitch ell and the other members of the general scale committee, however, believe that the dispute will not go so far. AS both sides have repeated ly expressed. themselves .against ,a a strike 1t Is fSIt each side will go a long way before taking the responsi- bility of long suspension of mining.

New York, April 12.--The anthra
 cite miners in their conference to- day with the operators amended the agreement proposed so that the amendment asked for may be made with the anthracite miners instead of the United Mine Workers union of America, and also amended the check-off demand so that only those men who were willing to contribute shall be assessed in order to pay the expenses of carrying out the agree ment. If the operators refuse to ac
 cept this amended proposition of the mineps, the wage workers propose that the agreement proposed by the operators to the effect that the award of the strike commission be renewed for three years and that the two amended propositions above mentioned be submitted to the strike commission for arbitration. If any of the commission cannot serve. President Mitchell proposes that President Roosevelt fill the vacancy.
