Then, speak ing quietly. he laid his new proposal be- fore the conference, urging miners and operators to sleep over it and return with an inclination and willing ness to give and take.
 The groups separated, Lewis lead ing one and Brewster the other and for half. hour they talked low and earnestly. Finally if was agreed to meet jointly with the secretary to- morrow lIiuT-nlI1t,-
 The troubles were explained in a word by MT. Wilson who said the principal difficulty was to get miners ly to negotiation of new wage agreement
 Mir. Lewis had concluded a. fiery speech in which he charged the she industrial catastrophe'' when he turned to Secretary Wilson. sitting between the two groups. and declared:
 AS far as the miners are concerned, we are ready 70 go home tonight We recognize the futility of the situation.
 Not much WAS forthcoming from the conference room respecting discussion of miners dei..-I'i.,s q i've day week Wnic.. the operators mad asserted t1nls ana again would not be made the sub ject of negotiations. To carry out Mr. Wilson's plan or negotia tionS it will be necessary for both sides to give ground on the question Of the strike order.
 There were reports tonight that. the groups were not solid, that some op- orators. seeing no other way out of it. were inclined to the belief that it might be best to yield and begin ne gotiations regardless Of the strike order. Some of the miners. contend ing that Mir. Wilson had picked up their original proposition except that it omitted reference to the strike or der, also were willing, it was said. to meet the other side half way. All had looked for a stormy and abrupt ending of the peace ful deliberations, and oficEll = -shineton. fearing tonight that an: n'eetine would be held, took the view that for the first time there. was hope or escaping the strike.
