MINERS REJECT
OPERATORS OFFER

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.
amount to about IS or 10 cents per ton
when, other elements of operation
which would be affected were taken
into consideration. On the basis of a
production of 5oo.ooeooo tons for this
year, which was the estimate made
Wednesday by Dr. Garfield. this in
crease would saddle s11. .ooo. 900 on the
coal industry.
Consumer Must Bear Raise.
Asked IL this increase in the cost
would have to be borne by me con-
sumner. the operators pointed out that
DR.. Garheld.s presentation of govern
ment data showed that the margin,
made by the operators was already too
low to absorb any increase in cost
Of production.
The operators said that they had
made the counter proposals to the
miners because the government had
demanded that they make the miners
an offer so that the conference might
result in a settlement OF the dispute
and the return of the men to work.
They said that the offer represented
the absolute limit" to which they
could 60. .
A statement issued by the operators
said in part: <
las the miners base their demands
for more wages upon the increased
cost Of living since 1914. it is proper
to state the percentage which the ad-
vance offered them together with other
advances made since 1914 increases in
total percentage the 1914 wages.
''On pick mining the aggregate will
be SIS per cent.
"On machine mining So per cent.
''On day work from 9s.7 per cent to
1l6 per cent.
THE increase in the cost of living
since 1914 is figured by the Interna-
tional Industrial Conference to be 70
per cent, and by the Department of
Labor and the miners at a somewhat
higher percentage. 1t will be seen
that the advance offered is more than
sufficient to compensate for the in
creased cost of living during the period
mentioned"
Other Offers.
The other propositions made by the
operators to the miners. and which
were rejected. were:
To extend the present contract to
March 81, 1922.
To restore a previous agreement,
which was overlooked in the wash
ington agreement. whereby the op-
orators would be permitted to sell
caps, fuse. household coal and other
mine supplies to the miners at not
less than cost. =
To make national organizations
and national officials of the United
Mine Workers Of America RESPONSE
BILE for the enforcement of con-
tracts between miners and opera
tors.
To provide a uniform, automatic
penalty clause for illegal strikes in
violation of contracts
The operators said that the pur-
pose of making the two-year con-
tract end in March was to prevent
strikes from being called in the
late fall. They said they had. in
the interest of harmony. waived the
claim that the present contract
should not expire until the war was
legally ended.
Operators said last night that the
next move would have to be made by
the miners. The miners rejoined that
the operators will have to make more
favorable proposals before the nego-
tiations will amount to anything.
At the Department of Justice yes
terday the statement was made that
yesterdays production of coal for the
country was 81 per cent Of normal.
the highest point reached since the
strike began nearly three weeks ago.

lotion ENDING
WAR PROMISED
] next SESSION
bint Resolution Planned
Soon After the Coming
Session Opens.
10 RE-SUBMIT TREATY
enate Divided on Legality
! OF Plan to End War
. By Its Action.

/. Early action on the resolution
deelaring the state of war with
Germany at an end was promised
yesterday by Republican leaders OF
the Senate and House.
at Is the purpose Of Senator Lodge
q bring the resolution to a vote in
tAe Senate in the opening days of
tie next session, which begins
Monday, December 1.
Before the resolution is reported
to the Senate by the Foreign Re-
Iations Committee. however. it will
be changed from a concurrent to a
Joint resolution, so that if passed 1t
will require the signature of the
President before becoming effec-
tiye.
To Put Il Up to Wilson.
when first proposed. the resoIu-
I bn was drafted as a concurrent
RESOLUTION in order that Congress
might declare the war at an en1
without any action by the Presi-
dent. But the sentiment now pre-
vaiIing among Republican Senators
is that 1t should be made a joint
resolution so that the President may
ether sign it or accept the re-
s3onsibility for the continuance OF
tie war by giving it his veto.
fn the meantime, il is expected
that the treaty will be re-submit-
tsd to the Senate by the President,
either with suggested reservations or
v3th a renewal-of the request for
rftification without reservation or
amendment The treaty will so
AGAIN to the Foreign Relations Com
nIittee where its status will be eX-
astIy the same as when it was first
Submitted.
.It appears that the treaty is
doomed to suffer a long delay before
fJrther steps can be taken toward
etecting its ratification.
VIII Demand Information

Committee has given notice to Senator

formation which the committee here
tdfore requested and which the Presi-
dent declined to give.
There was considerable discussion
Yesterday among Senators as to the
constitutionality of the proposed reso-
luton to declare the war at an end.
Administration Senators said Congress
has no power to take such a step.
Bpt proponents of the resolution fell
back upon an opinion rendered sew
eIal years ago by the then Attorney
General to the effect that Congress.
having the sole right to decfbre war,
has an undoubted right to declare
this war at an end.
The declaration against Germany
was by a joint resolution. and con-
s6tutional authorities among the Sen
ators are unable to understand why
a similar resolution declaring the war
ended would not be constitutional.
