PHILADELPHIA, April 10.-When
the joint conference OF the operators
and the union anthracite miners rep
resentatives opened at noon today Ii
was the general impression that sew
eral meetings would be necessary be-
fore settlement is reached. Ii was
reported that the operators and min.
ers had agreed ocompromise on a
ten per cent wage increase. Any set.
tlement must be submitted TO the
rank and file of the miners for ap-
proval.
Whether an early resumption of
work in the anthracite fieids, suspen-
sion of which since april has al
ready resulted in heavy financial
loss, may be expected, depended, IL
was said. on the recognition of the
union. President White, Of the min
ers, stated that without recognition
OF the union the ten per cent wage
increase would not result in settle
ment. He declared that unless all OF
the original demands OF the men We're
granted there was likely to be real
strike The operators came to the
conference direct from a meeting in
New York which is said to have de-
cided against recognition, and Presi.
dent Baer, spokesman for the ope~-
ators Is known TO be unalterably op.
posed to recognition.
II was this position in the tendency
of some independent, operators tha.
led TO report that Baer would re-
sign from the committee. His closest
friends today denied this report.
!. In the conference today, President
White pointed otit maj the meeting
virtually recognized the union. He
argued that the recognition should be
made real and normal as In the case
OF the bituminous miners who were
recently granted FIVE per cent wage
increase and who have long enjoyeu
recognition.
Despite the avowed antagonism on
this issue. the conference was conf
dent OF an agreement being reached
soon President White said he look
ed for an early settlement. The other
side knew the mans strength.
John Mitchell, who conducted the
last strike is expected TO arrive to-
night for a conference with White.
The miners say there is no signifi-
canoe in Mitchell's visit, aside from
his advisory capacity. He is known
to have the respect OF the operators
and his coming encouraged the min
