APPEAL TO HARDING

Now York. June 3.-(By A. p. -
A proposal that President Harding be
asked to appoint tribunal to settle
the anthracite coal strike. submitted
by the operators yesterday before the
Joint Sub Committee on Wage Contract
Negotiations, was rejected by the
miners.
Philip Murray. vice president of the
Omitted Mine Workers, declined to state
on what grounds the proposition was
turned down, except to declare 1t lob.
jectionable. Labor members of the
Joint Sub Committee announced they
thracite Scale Committee at Hazleton,
Pa, next Tuesday to frame counter
proposal.
The invitation to President Harding
to which the miners refused to subscribe
asked him to appoint n commission or
tribunal to find a practical method oy
which prompt operation Of the mines
may be resumed pending its ultimate
decision, and also to seek and recon-
mend a method by which future sus-
pensions or strikes may be avoided
"Thus," said S. D. Warriner. chair
man of the operators delegation to the
wage conference. 1--WE place ourselves
unreservedly in the hands of the Presi.
dent, without strings or qualifications.
We want the mines .reopened as soon
- possible"
Called Counter Proposal
At the miners headquarters. how
ever, the operators proffered solution OF
the strike was looked upon as nothing
more than counter proposal to that
which strikers delegates submitted two
weeks ago, and which the employers
refused to sign, namely. that Mr..
Harding empower the Federal Trade
Commission and the Interstate Com
merce Commission to begin at once a
complete investigation of the industry

Although 1t was reported that the
Independent operators had made over

night that every independent is un-
