Cooperation and good will are

One of the practical services which
has helped to bring about this better

Of the conference.
Miners Make Offer
Although the conference was be-
hind barred doors, 1t was learned
that during the last session the
miners made their first concrete
offer, namely, a proposal that a
contract for either two and one
half or five years be entered into
upon definite terms and without
arbitration. The operators, how
ever, want a longtime contract
that would prevent future strikes.
The Markle plan provides for a
ten-year truce.
1t is said today that the four
days respite until next Tuesdays
meeting will give both sides an OPP
portunity to ease the pressure and
regather their forces. 1t was re-
ported that the operators may hold
q meeting to discuss the situation
in Philadelphia next Monday. And

entire anthracite committee into

situation as 1t stood today. They
said the official communique spoke
for itself. They did not exude
optimism, however.
