Predict End Of The Coal Strike Officials Seek Arbitration
Washington reports that coal operators via J Pierpont Morgan agree to appoint a presidentially named arbitration commission to decide disputes between companies and their employees. The panel will include an army or navy engineer, an expert mining engineer, a federal judge, a sociologist, and a mining expert, with findings to be effective for at least three years. The operators require no immediate return to work and promise to refrain from pressuring nonunion workers.

Mitchell Says Miners Must Act On Convention Consent
Wilkesbarre October 14 Mitchell refused to discuss the operators new arbitration proposal beyond noting it had not been officially placed before him. He indicated the plan would likely be laid before a miners convention and, if accepted, mining could not resume for at least two weeks. Some miners favor rejection, others see potential benefit, but they will defer to Mitchell to decide. Union officers cannot settle without convention consent, and the situation at the collieries remains unchanged.
