Naturally enough, there has been some difference of opinion all day regarding the wisdom of operators In making this statement, but the more the matter la discussed, the more general the belief seems to be that they expected wisely. The fear nevertheless. Is enter tained In some circles that the proposi tion will appear to John Mitchell and his following too much like a concession on the pan of the operators snd the point Is made, of course, that if this proves to he tru? this late step toward settlement by tho operators will only pave the way for a recurrence of present labor troubles next year. Prominent Interests say there is good reason for believing that the worm Is over.
