TOday's Telegraphic News
Miners and Operators.

New York, April THE representa-
tives of the anthracite coal roads and in
dependent coal companies will meet
here ia secret conference today to give
final consideration to John MitchelPs
proposition Of arbilrating differences III
the anthracite mining industry, and to
draft reply for presentation to the joint
meeting OF operators and miners on Mon
day. While it is generally believed that
the operators will refuse the proposal,
there is ground for the statement that
refusal to arbitrate will only apply to
those questions that were raised before
the anthracite strike commission. The
operators, though, will conceee a Will
ingness to arbitrate any new qne'tlons
that have arisen in the reg on since the
award was made and that were incapable
of solution by the Cancellation board dur
ing its existence in the last three years.
The declnatiou to arbitrate any OF the
old questions is a refusal TO arbitrate any
of the question which John Mitchell has
presented at these conferences. for DAVID
Wilcox, president OF the Delaware "
Hudson company, in public statement
ha. declared that the miners have shown
that there are no new questions in the
recent proposals of John Mitchell.
John Mitchelps proposal for arbitra-
ton is regarded in many ways by the
operators as a backdown, who say that ar
bitration would kill Mitcheli's cherish
ed dream for union recognition. 1t
has been MitchelPs great ambition
to have trade agreements in the hard
coal industry the same as existed IN the
soft coal field. On the question OF recog-
milton Judge Gray in the commission $
award declared that "the present con-
stitution OF the United Mine Workers OF
America does no, present the most in
wiling inducement to the operators to
enter into contractural relations with 1t. "
New York, April John Mitchell,
President of the United Mine Workers,
denied today the charges made by the
western bilumiuous operators that he
vas for arbitration of the anthracite diff
cullies, but not for arbitration of the
bituminOus troubles.
Cleveland, o., April 7.-"Our mines
will remain idle until settlement is

tary of the Ohio coal operators who met
here today, 10 conference over the strike
situation.
al here was NJ attempt to use strike
breakers or to conduct warfare with the
union men. The operators have no feel
ing OF bitterness toward the miners.
The miners are ignoring their-conslltu-
ton in refusing TO arbitraIe, " said Pat
rick Mcbride, big operator.
Shamokin, Pa, April The Penn
sylvania railroad employees who were
suspended last week owing TO the coal
suspension were ordered TO report tor
next Monday, which causes many peo-
pie to think the operators intend coming
to some satisfactory conclusion with
Mitchell next week.

into the sewers generates the gas which
is responsible for the combustion, re-
celved favor from many who observed
the explosions. Manhole covers were
hurled 10 all directions. Windows were

Cambridge Victorious.

London, April THE annual boat
eace between crews of Oxford aud Cam
bridge on the Thames today was won by
Caml ridge 10y three and half lengths.
The Cambridge crew were the first to
arrive at the starting point, and were
given an extraordinary ovation. Later
the Oxford crew arrived and were re-
ceived with round after round Of cheers.
Oxford took the Surrey side of The river,
though the weather conditions were such
that il made little difference which side
was chosen. Both got good start,
Oxford pulling a slightly faster stroke
but Cambridge took the lead immediate
". The Oxford crew labOred hard, but
in vain, and the men in the shell were
plainly distressed at The end Of the race.
-Four of the Oxford rowers collapsed
after finishing and nearly all the Others
were greatly distressed. Camtridge's
men still showed themselves in excellent
condition
