OPERATORS Want GARFIELD PLAN
Further Explanation Made of Refusal
to Participate
CLAIM OF DIFFERENCE
Statement Issued Yesterday Sets
Forth Reasons for Claiming
Agreements Not Same

Washington, Dec. 21.--Coal opera
tors of the United States, through
their executive committee, explained
further tonight their reasons for re-
fusing to participate in the govern
ments plan for settling the bitumin-
Gus coal strike. Renewing the denial
that previous agreements had bound
them to accept the governments plan,
the operators asserted that while they
were bound by and had agreed to ac-
ccpt strike settlement proposals made
by DR.. Garfield, former fuel admin
istrator, the government proposal as
accepted by the miners differs vitally
from those of the Garfield plan.
The insistcnce of the operators on
the stand left open tonight the pos
sibility, it was held, that the commits
sion named Saturday by President
Wilson and given by him power to fix
wages and prices of coal necessary to
sustain wages, might be unable to fun
ctlon. The executive committee did
not say, however, that operators would
stand aloof from the commission in it's
investigation and decision but left the
question open to be settled probably at
meeting Tuesday in Cleveland, Ohio,
where general session Of the scale
committee, central competitive field,
and other operators generally has
been called.
Statement Issued
The operators in a formal statement
tonight said:

torncy &c. Palmc@ Of Yesterday in
which h, ; that at would be an
amazing rcpudiaton of their own
statements if the operators do not ac-
qnicscc in the plan which their Off
cial representatives have repeatedly
agreed to in the settlement of the coal
strike" the bituminous coal operators
feel impellcd to restate their attitude
SO that it may be clearly appreciated
by the public.
