MINERS MAY YET
 DECLARE STRIKE
TWO PROPOSITIONS ARE SUBMIT TED AND OPERATORS INTIMATE THAT THEY ARE NOT LIKELY TO ACCEPT EITHER.

New York April 12.-The anthracite owners the choice of two propositions, a re-submlssion of the miners original de- mand with two amendments, or to place the whole controversy before the strike commission The employers made an in- formal reply in which they intimated that they are not likely to accept either of fer
 They will make an official answer by letter and there will be no further meet ings until something develops. While there is still hope that peaceful solu- ton will be found, the contending par ties appear to have reached almost the limit of negotiations. If the operators should decline to entertain. either of the propositions submitted by the miners to- day. it is probable a convention of miners will be called at which the dele gates will declare that strike exists. In the first amendment to the original demands President Mitchell drops the request for the recognition of the union. and provides that the proposed agreement be made between the operators and the anthracite mine workers. The other amendment provides that only employees who are willing shall be assessed a cer- tain sum each month to defray the ex- penses of carrying out the proposed checkoff agreement. If the operators will not accept this. the miners propose that it and the operators first proposition which provides for a renewal for thrse ears of the award of the anthracite
 trike commission. be referred to the
 trike commission. Thus the miners drop heir second offer which provides for
 rbitration by the conciliaton board and gnores the operators second propos- ton with the exception of the strike commission feature. which they accept.
