with some form of arbitration to pre-
vent possible deadlocks. The opera

I wage reductions but believe it neces-

economic conditions may require in
the future. They said their purpose
is to avoid suspension of production

suit.
THE miners asserted that the pro-
vision of the Pinchot plan for board
or investigation and award would af-
ford the operators the protection
which they say they need.
THE operators suggested a modiff-
cation of the Markle plan so that af-
ter investigation the board. in case
of disagreement, would make recon-

within thirty days. If. following these
recommendations, no agreement was
reached within the succeeding 80
days the board then to decide the

claim that this would probably make
arbitration unnecessary, believing
that the recommendations would dis
pose of the matter.
THE miners claim that in the final
analysis this proposition provides for
arbitration, as does the Markle plan.
On this ground. they object to both
proposals.
THE miners offer to write a two

definite terms for either period, and
no arbitration.
Representatives Of the operators
and miners have since Tuesday tried
diligently to find a basis for adjust

have sincerely applied themselves to
this task.
Questions have arisen which re-

Many Comments
On Practice of
COasting on Hills

Many comments have been heard
this week on the dangerous practice
of children sliding on the sidewalks or
on the hills leading onto Water street.
Chief Dunn informs the Journal that
there are only three hills upon which
sliding or coasting is permitted, name
ly, Gully hill, between upper spring
street and North street; Depot hill.
and on Harrison avenue. The danger
of allowing coasters on Winter, Bruins
wick and Church hill is evident. for
there is always traffic on Waterrstreet
into which sled might land. Gardi-
ner has had several serious sliding ac-
cidents and care should be taken to
prevent more.
