PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. a.
From the men back home will come
the answer to the offer OF anthracite
operators for settlement OF the
twenty weeks strike.
The three distriet\ presidents win
carry "the message 90 Garcia" and
all advance hints are that the mine
workers will seek modification of the
proposal which would make the an
,thracite conciliation board and a
board of three umpires the court or
last resort on the question Of wages.
The wage question is still tho big
issue of the dispute. In fact, II is
the only issue that Is keeping miners
and operators apart. Both sides are
willing that the men return to work
on the 1920 scale until April j CT
next year. hut working out the meth.
cd by which the scale will be fixed
from that period on Is the one diff
cult task that creates disagreement
between mineowners and men.
Under the offer of the miners, as
laid down I'm the letter Of s. ID. War
riner to John l.. Lewis, the old wage
scale is to be re-established for the
balance of the coal year, but only on
the condition that there first be de-
yised the method for reaching scale
for the new year.
