8CRANT0V 1.-The mine-
worker, through their representative
have umct J with the mine owner to
attempt to adjust Uie difference ex

coal strike commission. The
iroiKltion wu made on a compromise
basis, and negotiations. It In expected,
will ut once tie entered on, with reason

The rough' proposition which to
form the basis of negotiation l a 10
Hrei-nt Increase In wage, a nine-hour
ilnv. and trade agreements between
the miner and the company by which
thev are employed. While both sides
have expressed a willingness to ettle
the differences among themselves. It In
not to be conotrued that It tarried with
it the acceptance of the term propos
ed. It Is possible that the fuundutlon
already laid can be wrecked by either
turty holding out too strongly Hgnlnst
some ouestlon and thus leave Uie
whole matter In the hands cf the coin
nilssloners, who In the meanliine will
iici ns a sort of board or conclllla
lion rather than a a board of arbl
trillion. The move, one of the most
tiiinnrtant In the story of the coal
strike, created a mild sensation whe
It became known. It wu brought
about by both sides seeing that th.
irotved litis before the commission

termliieltng of lawyers for both sld

ing In the- Philharmonic hall against
ntstol duels between Mudi-nts and of

a weapon for American trappers and
the sword was declared to be prefer
able, It standing upon a higher moral

weapon. The swoker nolnted out that
th German emperor had repeatedly
advised the officer to practice wltn
swords and to settle their affairs of
honor with that arm, but the officers
objected, on the ground that the sword
u not severe enough lo wash their
stained honor clean.
The meeting finally adopted a res
