Miners Reject Operators Plan in Present Form
Wilkesbarre Pa Oct 15 A thorough canvass shows the arbitration plan offered by coal operators to end the miners strike will not be accepted in its present form over limits on arbitrator selection. Mitchell says he cannot state miners’ attitude yet but will issue a formal position after understanding the proposition. Gompers declines interviews but says the designation of arbitrators insults the U S president and hints little good in the proposal. A New York coal figure says operators and Morgan contributed to the plan and that settlement time will show public reaction. Washington no talks at White House as Roosevelts response to the operators’ offer remains unconfirmed.
