The proposal.
Rejection by the miners can only
be headed Off by last minute conces-
sions by Harding. John L. Lewis,
president OF the union and Philip
Murray. vice-president conferred
with Harding and Secretary Of Labor
Davis yesterday IN the hope OF hav-
ing the President to modify his pro-
posal
Lewis and Murray told Harding
that before they can accept his pro-
posal they must have assurance
that:
The union fields not represented
by the bituminous miners win be
bound by the agreements reached
here:
That the three coal counties of
Pennsylvania that organized the
present strike will share in the
agreements.
That the proposed coal commits
sion will not attempt TO arbltrate tho
"checkoff" system. the right OF the
unions 10 organize nou-uulOn uclQS
and collective bargaining.
The miners are absolutely IN
afraid OF Government seizure OF the
mines. In fact they would welcome
the step for they believe they could
bargain 20 better advantage with the
government. f.
once the government seized tho
mines the books OF the operators
would be thrown open 20 public
scrutiny showing the production.
profits and other details OF the In
dustry the operators have always
jealousy guarded. Two years ago
when the Federal Trade Commits
sion attempted 20 investigate these
details OF the industry the operators
secured a restraining order.
The miners want the government
TO see the cost sheets, contending
that they could prove abnormal
profits, and thereby secure higher
wages or lower coal costs to the con-
sumers.

WILL USE DAVIS
INCINERATOR NOW

The Davis incinerating plant will
begin operations Monday morning
and the Nye plant will shut down for
at least 80 days 10 give the new
plant a thorough test.
The Board Of Health, which re-
quested the Street and Sewer De-
partment to haul all inhammabl
materials collected 10 the incinerat-
ing plant, has received no reply yet,
although II IS understood that the
Street and Sewer Department is
willing 10, comply with the request
if II can be done without increasing
the expenses for collecting.
At the present time ashes and
rubbish are not separated. but are
placed on the sidewalk in the same
receptacle. To comply with the re-
quest OF the Board Of Health II will
be necessary for the ash collectors
TO separate ashes and other refuse.
For this purpose the Street and
Sewer Department has tried out the
method Of following up the ashes
collectors with an additional truck
for rubbish. but so far from an
economical standpoint this has not
been found entirely satisfactory.
As it is desired to save coal now
used in the burning OF garbage.
some plan will probably be worked
out in a few days for the collection
and burning OF rubbish with the
garbage.
