THE United Mine Workers rrpr"s"n-
proposal as a basis of settlement Of the
coal strike. They did 50 because II pro-

be brought about The United Mine
Workers have full confidence in the
president of the United states and
profound regard for his will and judy
The presidents proposal differs from
any proposal heretofore proposed IN
that it leaves nothing in doubt so far
as a plan for adjustment and the do
tails thereof is concerned. The scheme
proposed by DIR. Garfield loft no hope
for the mine workers other than the ac-
ceptance Of an increase in mining prices
of IA percent The presidents prOpoSaI
provides that this amount OF advance is
preliminary and that the tribunal which
he will set up will have full authority

videS that the commission Will have au-
thority to settle internal questions pee

of very great Importance to the mine
workers.
The commission Will make lis re-
report within sixty days unless some
insurmountable difficulties arise which
prevent il from doing so and tho COM

 Building loan associations of this country. according to this plan, would perform for wOrkingmcn much the same service as that performed for farmers by farm loan banks Mort gagcs mad" over to building and loan associations. il is suggested. should be redisCountablo at Federal Reserve banks. in order that these aSsOcia- tons might render most effective s"rv. ice. At present. however. two diff hcultics stand in the way first. the dSSOtlaIlhnS are not In'mbtfS Ol inc Federal RoSrrv" bank system and have no capital stock and reserve therein, and second, the reserve banks are designed for handling commercial paper. not mortgages.
 The solution of the first problem suggested is that special measures h.. taken n h., and that the second be met by limit ing the amount of mortgages rcdis. | counted. As an alternative. it is thought that tn" farm loan banks 1 might be authorized to accept mort | gagcs on homes as well as on farm lands. Either method. it is thought. | would be preferable To the creation of new organizations.
