Indianapolis Dec. 9.-The text of
the proposal Of President Wilson for
settlement of the soft coal strike. as
submitted to the General Committee
of the United Nine Workers of Amer
lea here today, reads:
have watched with deep concern
the developments in the btuminous
coal strike and am convinced there Is
much confusion in the minds of the
people generally and possibly of both
parties to this unfortunate controver-
sy as TO the attitude and purpose of
the Government in its handling of the
situation.
The mine owners offered wage
increase of 20 per cent. conditioned,
however upon the price of coal be
ing raised to an amount sufficient
to cover this proposed increase Of
wages, which would have added at
least $150,00O,O0O to the annual coal
bill of the people. The Fuel Ad.
ministrator in the light of present
information has taken the position,
and / think with entire justificationl
that the public is now paying as
high prices for coal as it ought to
be requested to pay and that any
wage increase made at this time
ought to come out OF the profits of
the coal operators.
In reaching this conclusion the
Fuel Administrator expressed the
personal opinion that the II per cent.
increase in all mine wages is rea-
sonable because it would equalize
the miners wages on the average
with the cost of living, but he made
it perfectly clear that the operators
and the miners are at liberty to
agree upon larger increase provided
the operators will pay it out of their
profits so that the price of coal
would remain the same.
The Secretary of Labor, in an eff
fort at conciliation between the par
ties, expressed his personal opinion in
favor OF a larger increase. His effort
at conciliation failed, however, be.
cause the coal operators were unwill-
ing TO pay the scale he proposed un-
less the Government would advance
the price of coal to the public, aud

Washington, Dec. 9.-rroceedings at
indianapolis where the United Mine
Worker union leaders were consider
ing President Wilson's proposal for
the settlement of the coal strike were
followed with tense interest here to-
day and the night adjournment with
out decision caused keen disappoint-
ment. At the White House and the
fuel administration, and also at a meet
ing of coal operators, reports from the
miners gathering were closely scam
ed.
The coal miners at an informal ses-
sion, discussed the Presidents propo-
sitien. at length, but adjourned until
10 o'clock tomorrow morning without
reaching any agreement. While they
generally withheld comment on the
terms of the proposal, there were inti-
nations that provisions for retroactive
wage awards to the miners without
compensating increases in the govern
ment's fixed prices for coal would meet
with disfayor The operators, however
already have accepted the straight IA
per cent wage increase which was re-
jected by the miners at the joint con.

slider President Wilson's proposal for

The miners had been in continuous

when John l.. Lewis, acting president

After the miners adjourned this
evening it was reported that big
factor in the opposition to accept
ance or the Presidents proposal was
the belief on the part of many miners
that it would require another session
of the general convention of the Unit
ed Mine Workers to make valid an
agreement TO end the strike.

soon be on. The government has de-
czded upon five billion dollar issue of
short term. securities, to be repaid
within five years, and bearing attrac-
live interest rates. Secretary Glass
believes this form OF security will com

for it.
