Lewis Speaks.
When the conference adjourned last
night Acting President Lewis CT the
| United Mine Workers said that all
| questions as to the executive session
would have to ne answered by Secre-
tary Wilson. who had acted as chair
man during its latter part
- In answer to the question as to
whether the miners and the operators
were coming nearer to each other.

ment would have to be reached by
this conference.
After long parley yesterday over
! the propositions made Thursday by
the operators. and which were voted
down by the miners. the miners modi-
fed their previous demands. They
asked for a 40 per cent raise in pay
instead of GO per cent, a seven-hour
actual working day, a Saturday half
holiday and that local disputes be
settled by local or district committees.

The miners propositions were
operators then withdrew all Of the
propositions made Thursday except
two, namely, the offer Of a 20 per cent
pay increase and the making of a
two years contract. In SO doing
they eliminated the proposition,
obnoxious to the miners, of selling
fuel and mine supplies on a COM
mercial basis.
The operators second proposals as
thus made were voted down by the
miners. With negotiations thus
deadlocked the operators then tried
to induce the miners to accept arbi-
tration. Three proposals for the
constitution of a tribunal of arbi-
tration were successfully rejected
by the miners.
The first was for the appointment
of an arbitration board by the
President. the second for a board
consisting of four miners and four
operators, which should select a
ninth member. and the third pro-
posal was that each side should
name three members each and that
the President should name the
seventh.
Having thus failed to come to any
agreement, Secretary Wilson was
called in and the remainder of the
conference was devoted to his state
