After the conference had ended
Secretary Wilson, who had strlven for
days to avert the strike, made this
statement:

proposal of the President In Its en-
tirety and to proceed to negotiation.

arbitration, the mines to be continued

1.-THE miners interpreted the letter
Of the President to mean two separate
propositions. The men were willing
to accept the first, that Is 10 proceed
to negotiate.
'sThe operators said that having
expressed their willingness to accept
the Presidents proposition in its en-
tirety they held themselves ready to
proceed with negotiations and arbitra-
ton whenever called upon by the Sec
retary Of Labor or by the miners
scale committee, and with that state
ment they withdrew.
"The miners remained md ex-
pressed their regret that the negotia-
tions could not go on. but declined
to proceed with negotiations until II
was determined whether an agree
ment could be reached. The confer

the negotiations were based was ad-
dressed to Secretary Wilson and
signed by Private Secretary TumuIty.
