Miners ARE ALL
READY FOR Peace


the miners asked whether the fact
finding committe provided for In
the Markle plan could investigate
freight rates. royalties and other
items entering into the cost OF de-
livering coal to the consumers and
also whether 1t could fix the selling
price OF coal. Mr.. Markle replied
that the fact finding committee
could not go beyond the limitations
Of the contract and that 1t would
be a violation OF the feder-l laws to
fix the selling price OF coal.
The miners charged that price
fixing Is practiced in the anthracite
industry but this was denied by the
operators.
The questions OF the miners on
price fixing not only had relation TO
the Markle plan but also to the
peace proposal Of Governor Pinchot,
accepted as basis OF settlement by
the miners but rejected by the op-
orators. The governors plan provid-
ed for a board of investigation and
award. II the board found that the
miners could not be given an in
crease In wages without advancing
the price of coal. they were to work
at the old wage scale.
The operators contended that the
Pinchot plan was destructive and
unavoidable also that 1t arbitrated
wages only.
So far as could be learned the
question Of the checkoff. by which
miners union dues are deducted
from their pay by the operators and
turned over to the local unions. did
not come up for serious considera-
ton.
The Joint conference planned to
go into session at l p. m. today.
The discussion yesterday. according
to Chairman Markle, was conducted
with the best OF feeling. The ses-
sion was interrupted onN long

operators to be the guests Of Mr.
