passes without some sensational story

Is the gambling TO be found among

Miners Arbitration Proposal Is

ANOTHER PLAN IS SUBMITTED
Mine Owners Decline Proposition of the

other Arbitration Plan - Min

NEW YORK, April lo,-The anthra'
cite operators at the conference with the
mine workers today declined the propo.
sition to have the conciliation board ar
bitrate all the grievances submitted by
the wage workers and made a counter
proposition that the commission ap.
pointed by President Roosevelt in 1902
be required to decide whether any
changes of conditions in the hard coal
region have occurred which require the
award of the commission to be modified
The mine owners limited the inquiry to
two grievances, wages and method fol
the adjustment of complaints. The
miners have taken the matter under
consideration. In connection with the
conference today Chairman Baer of the
operators b,committee made public a
letter sent to the committee by the in.
dependent operators in which they state
that any agreement to arbitrate with
the United Mineworkers will be an m-
justitiable surrender to anarchy and mob
violence
The letter came as great surprise to
the miners and does not tend to bring
the contending parties nearer together
The meeting today was very brief and
it was later announced another would
be held on Thursday.

Answers Spooner and Knox on
Rate Bill.
SENATE CHAMBERS CROWDED
Senators, Representatives, and Hun
.dreds of Spectators Fill Chambers
to Hear Notable Speech
on the Rate Bill.

WASHINGTON, April l0--For more
than four hours today Bailey held the
undivided attention of the Senate with
his speech in reply to Spooner and
Knox. and just before its conclusion,
there was significant expression from
Hale indicating the possibility of an un-
derstanding and an early vote on the
railway rate bill. The day was one of
the most notable in the recent history
OF the Senate. Very few Senators were
absent during any time of the day, and
every seat in the galleries, public. priv
ate. Senatorial, executive and diplomatic
was held by its occupants with mark
ed tenaeity, Many members of the
House crowded into the Senate, some of
them standing lined up against the wall
for hours without q perceptible change
in their positions, Several Senators and
many more spectators went without
luncheon rather than miss any portions
of Bailey's speech and at the conclusion
IL spontaneous outburst of handclapping
came from the galleries which the Vice.
President was unable for time to check
and the speaker was warmly congratu-
lated by his colleagues of both parties.
Close Attention Given
The close attention given throughout
was all the more remarkable in view of
the legal character of the argument.
Bailey contended that Congress has the
power to deny the inferior courts the
right to suspend the order of the Inter
State Commerce Commission pending
litigation. In support of this he cited
innumerable decisions and quoted many
authorities, The citations were inter-
spersed with his comments. Hale an
nounced his willingness to accept the
anti-suspension amendment and express
ed the confidence that if Bailey would
agree to the broad court Of review fea-
tme, there would be comparatively little
difficulty in. reaching an agreement on
the bill Bailey said he did not believe
a review by the courts could be denied
under the constitution.
