Ocl. 13.-The moot Important step ' t taken toward settlement jf the ,reat coal strike was the conferem-e At Washington last nlKht between President Roosevelt, J. P. Morgan ;ind Robert 8. Bacon, Mor gan hulne associate. At thin con ference t!i operator submitted a pro posal for arbitration of the strike, agreeing to be governed by the decision of a commission to be appointed by the president, uiid the agreement to remain In effect for three year. The overture of the operator con tain the stipulation that the non-un-Inn miner must not be Interfered with, that the striker halt go to work at once, and remain until thedate fixed by the commission for the plan of settlement to become effective. This It practically the same proposal sub mitted by President Mitchell at the conference In Washington some day ago. Mr. Mitchell wa seen at Wllke harre Inst night by an Associated Press representative and sho.vn the dispatch announcing the proposal if the oper a tors, lie declined to make any state' mcnt regarding the matter hist night. but Is expected to do so today. WASHINGTON, Oct. 1J. By the au thority of J. P. Morgan, who. with hi partner, Robert Bacon, and Secretary Root, ni In conference with President Roosevelt tonight, the statement waa given out by Secretary Cortelyou In which the president of the coal carry lug ronds and the mine operator pro pose a commission of five persons to adjust the difference and settle the coal strike In the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania. The proposition Is believed by the administration to be satisfactory to the miners, a It covers the proposition made by President Mitchell, with additional condition which It Is believed the miner will ac cept. The operators have agreed to the appointment of a commission, to be ap pointed by .he president of the United State ,to whom shall be referred all question at Issue bteween the com panies and their own employe, whether thev belong to the union or not, and the decision of the commis sion shall be accepted by the operat or. The commission is to consist of an army or navy engineer officer, an ex-1 pert mining engineer not connected Ith the coal mining proirtIs, one of the Judges of ,he UnVJcd State court of the Eastern district of P nnsylvanla a, man of promlnence.emlnent as a soci ologist and a man who, by active par ticipation In mining and sdllng coal, 1 familiar with the phys!t-al and com mercial fea'.ure of the buclness. The operator also make It a part of the proposition that the miners shall return to work a soon as the commis sion Is constituted and cease all Inter ference with the non-union men. The commission s to name the date when it finding shall be effective, and to govern the. condition of the, employ ment between the companies and their own ifinployes for at least three years. While no official statement was made at the White House after the operators address wart made public, the opinion was exprifBsnl that the way is now open for a complete settlement of the strike and that the mine will soon be In operation. The Issuance of the statement fol lowed the conference, which assembled very quickly after Mr. Morgan and his artner .Robert Bacon, had reached Washington. The proposition of the on I operators whs the result of the visit of Secretary Root to New York and his conference with Mr. Morgan on Saturday. Mor gan at that time expressed a keen In terest In the sltnitloit and his desire to bring about an adjustment, it pos slbb. Following this talk with Mr. Root there was a conference in New Tork tody. at which the proposition of the coal opjrators was agreed to and Mr. Morfn was delegated to bring It to the president, in the belief that such would be the courteous course and the best way of promulgating the offer of settlement. The next move will be the presenta tl0n of the matter to the miners, and It Is probable that Pres'dent Mitchell will be InvlteJ to Washington to con sult with the president. It Is believed here that he will at once accept the proposition. .REFl!3fl3 TO TALK. Mitchell Would Say Nothing of the Operators' Proposal.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-No settle' ment of the anthracite cool strike ha been reached, and .according to the statement of three leading operators, no reasonable proposal hat! yet been suggested to them Any proposition embracing a 10 pe rcent Increase "will be Ignored. It was another busy day for the op erators. Before noon all of them ex cept President Baer were in conference Their talk lasted over an hour, but no statement wa made for publication Rumor that the strike was ended were heard In some circle and at It closing the stock market rallied gener ally from the early depression. These rumor were circulated for the most part by the brokerage houses with Western connection. The conservative element paid lit tie heed, and denial of a settlement were authorized by the representatives of the Lackawaana and Ontario A Western road. Governor Odell made this significant remark tonight: "I believe the coal trlk 1 nearer to definite settlement than it has been since I started." Governor Odell wil make no explana tion of his belief, further than to say: "In my opinion, this week will see an end of It." So far as the legislative session goes. It may be said on authority that. If called, It will be merely to provide for the purchase of coal at higher rates for the public Institutions, and possibly to appropriate for the relief of the poor. BOTH SIDES CLAIM VICTORY.
