7 YIELD NOT IN INCH IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT SMARTLY DRESSED MEN WILL WEAR THIS SEASON, ASK BEN SELLING ' E. V. CARTER CANDIDATE FOR REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR State Treasurer Anthracite Operators Reject Miners' New Offer. TWO POINTS ARE WAIVED THE MORNING OBEGONIAIC, FRIDAY, APKEL 13, 1906. Jlccognltlon or Union. Not Insisted Upon, and Only Those Willing to Pay Cost of Arrang ing the Scale. NEW YORK, April 12. At the meeting: of the sub-committees of the anthracite mlneworkera and operators here today, the representatives of the employes of fered the mlneowners the choice of two propoEltlon8 in their endeavor to come to an amicable agreement and the employers mado an Informal reply In which they Intimated that they are not likely to accept either of the wageworkers offers. The operators will make an official an swer to the miners' latest propositions by letter, and there will be no further meet ings unless something develops. The meeting today did not bring the contending parties closer together. If the -operators decline to entertain either of the propositions submitted by the miners today, it is probable a convention of min ers will be called at which the delegates will declare that a strike texlsts. Terms of Miners' New Offer. Briefly statedv the offer made by Presi dent Mitchell today was a resubmission of the miners original demands, with two additions and, Hn case they are not accepted, he proposes that the whole matter be placed before the Strike Com mission. In one of the amendments to the orig inal demands, Mr. Mitchell drops the re quest for the recognition of tho union and provides that the proposed agreement be made between the operators and the anthracite mlneworkers Instead of the United Mlneworkers of America. The other amendment provides that only em ployes who are willing shall be assessed a certain sum each month to defray the expenses of carrying out the proposed check-off agreement. Instead of union and nonunion men being called upon to contribute. Let Strike Commission Arbitrate. If the operators will not accept the original demands as amended, the min ers propose that they (the original de mands as amended) and the operators' llrst proposition, which provides for a re newal for three years of the award of the Anthracite Strike Commission, be re ferred for arbitration to the Strike Com mission. Thus the miners drop their sec ond offer, which provides for arbitration by the Conciliation Board, and Ignore the operators' accond proposition, with the exception of the Strike Commtslon fea lure. which they accept. It Is proposed that any vacancy In the Commission be filled by President Roosevelt. At his headquarters this evening Mr. Mitchell confirmed the Interpretation that the first amendment to his original de mands eliminates the request for the rec ognition of the union. Technically. Mr. Mitchell and his colleagues are not ap pearing before the operators as officers of the United Mlneworkers of America, but as representatives of the anthracite mlneworkers. This was also their status before the Strike Commission in 1902-3. Operators Reject Offer. Upon receiving the miners' communica tion, George P. Baer, chairman of the operators' committee, made the following answer: Wereiret that you hive not accepted our propositions W do not feel that tv can modify them. We will hereafter answer our communication of this date by letter, or. Jf you deelre a further meeting, the time can be arranged now or be hereafter fixed l5' the respective chairmen. President Truesdale, of the Lackawanna Railroad, was asked to explain Mr. Baer's brief statement. He said that it could be accepted as meaning that the operators stand absolutely by their counter-proposition submitted on Tuesday. As the situa tion stands now. Mr. Truesdale thought it was not too much to say that negotia tions between operators and miners had practically been suspended.
