ASKS II ARBITRATORS.
Three for Miners, Same for

the Public.

WASHINGTON, July 10 (Associ-

neither the operators nor the miners
In the bituminous and anthracite coal
districts, where work Is now sus-
pended, could effect a compromise by
themselves which would reopen the
mines, President Harding laid before
conferees representing the industry
to-day proposal for immediate set
Element which he gave notice would
be backed by the full power OF the
Government, legislative as we'll as
executive.
The proposal involves immediate
return to work Of miners now on
strike on the basis of wages as they
were when they stopped work April
/ and the setting up of an arbitration
commission composed of three min
ers, three operators and five repre-
sentatives of the public, which COM
mission should be required before
Aug. 10 to fix temporary scale of
wages.
Congress would be asked to en-
power such a body, the President
said, to go into the mining situation,
develop fully labor costs and produc-
ton and to report plans for stabilizing
the industry and assuring a public
coal supply.
Four Cabinet members, Secretaries
Hoover. Davis and Fall and Attorney
General Daugherty, were with the
President when the industrial repre-
sentatives were given the Presidents
plan.
Neither group, mines nor operators
was asked to return an immediate
reply. John l.. Lewis, President of
the Miners Union. summoned his
associates to meet at . p. NJ. for the
purpose of discussing the offer, while
Alfred NJ. Ogle, Chairman of 'thc
operators section, and his associates
met Immediately, but adjourned to
allow a larger gathering of operators
not previously in the conference,
The Presidents proposal did not
touch upon the insistence of the
miners union for a national settle
ment nor upon the demand of the
operators for wage negotiations in
their own districts, but apparently
left the whole question to be dealt
with by the commission.
There was considerable evidence
that bituminous employers, who pre-
viously offered arbitration of wage
scales by districts during the execu-
tive sessions of the conference, would
accept the provisions Of the execu-
tive's proposal. Their objections, as
indicated, largely consisted in the
make of a commission with a ma
jority of its membership operators and
miners, and the difficulty of getting

Fisher had been making collections
from branches OF the Sheffield
Farms concern all morning. His last
collectio. which ran the funds in A
black bag he carried up to $500, was
made in the branch at No. 1884 Am
sterdam Avenue.
After chatting a few moments with
Arthur Bahret, the manager of this
branch. Fisher, who had u revolver in
his right outside coIt pocket
walked directly across the street to
where he had left his horse and
buggy under a tree. AS he was cross
ing he noticed that 0lack touring
car had halted at the b directly
behind his buggy, so close that he had
TO go around his hor.e to get TO the
sidewalk.
Fur well dressed men wearing new
straw hats left the touring car and
surrounded him as he approached the
buggy. Each of the men had re-
volver.
One of them put his hand In
Fishers coat pocket and abstracted
his gun. Another grabbed the bag.
A hfth man, who had remained at
the wheel of the car, had started it,
and it was moving when the quar-
tette got aboard. The chauffeur
turned east into Hath Street and
south into Morningside Avenue and
the car was lost to view.
The whole transaction consumed
less than half a minute.
One of the witnesses was Samuel
Gardner, who conducts a hardware
store at No. 1882 Amsterdam Avenue.
Gardner saw what he thought was
scuffle and Fisher came running back
across the street.

Gardner.
