OFFER TO ARBITRATE.
Miners Willing to Let Conciliation
Board Settle Trouble.
New York, April 6. Having failed
to come to an agreement themselves,
the hard coal miners of Pennsylvania,
through their representatives, today
proposed to the operators that all mat
ters in dispute be referred to board of
arbitration for settlement, the tribunal
to be composed ot the board ot concili
ation which was created by the award
ot the Anthracite Strike commission in
1903, with Judge Gray, of Delaware, or
any person he may appoint, as chair
man and umpire. It the operators ac
cept the proposition and a convention
ot mineworkers approves the plan, the
160,000 men now idle in the anthra
cite fields will return to work at once.
While it had been reported for several
days that the miners might ask that
the differences lie arbitrated, the prop
osition came to them as a great sur
prise, as they did not believe the union
leaders were ready to leave the contro
versy to a third party at this time.
That the operators will accept the
miners' proposal as submitted is not
generally believed; intact, it is inti
mated they may flatly refuse th offer,
on the ground that existing conditions
are the result ot arbitration. The em
ployers have decided to consider the
miners' latest move and promise to
give President Mitchell and his men an
answer on Monday, when another
meeting of the two sub-corn in itiees will
be held in this city.
The anthracite board of conciliation
consists of six members three repre
senting the operators and three the
miners. This board held frequent ses
sions during the last three years,
settling local disputes in the anthracite
region. The award of the strike com
mission provided that, when it could
not agree, a Federal judge in the Third
judicial district should appoint an
umpire, who should make a decision.
Judge George Gray, president of the
strike commission, made the appoint
ments. During the first two years he
selected Carroll D. Wright, ex-United
States commissioner of labor, as the
umpire, but during the last year
Charles P. Neill, the present labor
commissioner, acted as the arbiter.
FURIOUS WITH FOREIGNERS.
Chinese Excited by Picture of Magis
trate Killed by Priest.
Pekii., April 6. The Nanchang affair
of February last, during which a Chi
nese magistrate met death as the result
of a dispute with French Catholic mis
sionaries which caused a riot and the
killing of a number of French and Brit
ish missionaries, continues to inflame
the Chinese. Trie native papers in the
north of China this week print pictures
of the magistrate's corpre, showing his
wounds, with sensational articles writ
ten in a style which appeals to the
lower classes, exhorting the people not
to forget the outrages and to prepare to
defend themselves against foreign bru
talities.
The belief that a French priest mur
dered the magistrate is universal and
probably no other incident ever excited
such widespread resentment against the
missionaries. In many places the
Catholic converts and the other Chinese
are living on the basis of armed neu
trality, and but for the presence of the
troops stationed near the missions by
the government's orders, the slightest
friction would result in massacre.
Disturbance In Coal Field.
Philadelphia, April . The situa
tion in the coal fields remains un
changed. Occasional disturbances are
reported from various sections, but
they are regarded as inconsequential.
As a result of the attacks made on the
breakers of the Fernwood colliery, the
Erie, company, which owns the land
occupied by the mineworkers, han or
dered them to vacate the property.
The miners are said to have shot out
nearly every window in the breaker.
A detail of state police today arrested
seven Italian laborers at Mocanaqua,
near Wilkesbarre, who yesterday pre
vented non-union men from operating
the West End washery. They were
sent to jail.
Wants AIRailroads Appraised.
Waahington, April 6. By unani
mous vote today the National associa
tion of Railway commissioners adopted
the resolution of B. H. Meyer, of Wis
consin, offered yesterday, declaring it
to be the sense of the association that
the congress of the United States should
authorize and direct the Interstate
Commerce commission, or some other
department of the Federal government,
to ascertain the inventory value of all
railways in the United States, and to
fix a valuation on the railway property
of each state separately.
Will Build Island for Fort.
Washington, April 6. The creation
of an artiflcal island in the middle of
the entrance to Ch sapeake bay is pro
posed by the joint board on coast de
tente, as an absolute essential to the
defense of the National capital and the
cities of Baltimore, Norfolk, Newport
News and even Richmond. The gov
ernment will dump stone on the middle
ground as foundation for a tort.
