ID. .~@H~ss~

New York, April 1S.-The anthra
cite coal operators committee has de-
clined the latest arbitration proposal
OF the coal miners, as was anticipated.
The operators answer says:
I've 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"
That the mine owners contemplate
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
Throughout the lower hard coal
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 colliery exposed in this region
