REJECTED BY OPERATORS.
Last Proposal of Mine Workers Is
Turned Down.

New York, April 19-The anthra-
cite coal operators committee has de-
clined the latest arbitration proposal
of the coal miners, as was anticipated.
The operators answer says:
"We have no other suggestions to
make than those contained in our for
mer propositions and we regret that
you have declined both of them. We
have nothing further to Offer

an extended strike is evident from the
fact that three score of coal barges
belonging to the Philadelphia and
Reading company, which were used in
the hard coal trade between Philadel-
phia and Eastern ports, were ordered
out of service.

fields the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron company are building
barracks around their collieries. 1t is
the intention OF the company not to
leave a colliery exposed in this region.
While this apparent activity is In prog
ress mine superintendent state that
no attempt will be made to start wash
cries in the Schuylkill region for sew
eral days.
