Operators Utter Protest.
Immediately after the personnel of
the commission was announced and
letter to its members made public,
stating that both miners and operators
had agreed to submission Of their diff
ferences to such a tribunal. the execu-
tive committee of the bituminious coal
operators issued statement denying
that they had agreed to such a basis
for settlement of the strike as the
president had outlined and stating
that they had not been consulted as TO
the terms and conditions of the agree
ment.
The attitude of the operators was
taken as clear indication that they
may repudiate the whole peace plan
undertaken by the president and the
attorney general.
Flat Denial by Owners.
The statement of the operators ex-
ecutive committee to which Attorney
General Palmer took strong exception
follows:
\ THE operators have not agreed to
~any memorandum such as mentioned

a basis of adjustment of the coal
strike

of the bituminous coal operators sent

take on the presidents special com
mission. The operators are openly an
tagonistic to the plan under which the
special commission is made to operate.
according to the presidents letter.
They reiterate here that they had
never been consulted and had never
agreed to the memorandum of settle
ment signed by Attorney General Pal
mer and President Lewis of the United
