Miners Declare Proposal Is the Old Plan of Arbitrat- ing Wages EACH BLAMES THE OTHER. New York, Jan. 12.--()—Blam- ing each other for their stub- bornness and failure to recede an inch from the position taken, the anthracite joint conference broke up today. Thix left the wage negotiations practically where they were when begun six months ago. Meantime the 153,- 000 mine workers on strike since September first will remain idle. The break, while sudden, was not unexpected, ax the operators yesterday indicated they had said their last words in the way of concessio: The motion to adjourn the conference ine die was made and the operators and, a statement of the the miners reluct- antly voted for i New Yor, 1, thracite mine workers have eiaed what the operators declared to be/ their “utmost concessions,” and members of the wage were wondering this morning wheth- er negotiations would end: shor The miners yesterday rejected the | operators’ latest proposition to end the hard coal strike, now in its fifth was nothing..more than the old plan of arbitrating wages. The operators’ latest plan wa: ive-year agreement with a provision that in the event of a deadlock Charles E is Hughes, or some per-} son of similar standing, name three arbitrators. In characterizing their offer yes terday as the “utmost congeszion” that can be made, the operators ap- | pear to some observers to have made! their final proposition and that they! are ready for a disruption of the conference unless the miners present something new for consideration. CONFERENCE ADJOURNS WITHOUT A SETTLEMENT New York, Jan. 12,—(#)—The an: | thracite joint conference, which re- { sumed negotiations December 29, adjourned today - without reaching settlement and without setting an’ date for renewal of negotiation: The conference had been hopeless}; deadlocked over the principle of ar- bitration. The operators ed to thetend upon complete arbitrati yn, while the | miners insisted that if they accept; any arbitration it should be only on the basis of increasing ‘wages and| without any reduction. The proposition presented by the} operators yesterday, which they | termed the “utmost codcession” that could be made, and which was re-| jected by the miners, clearly indicat- ed that the negotiators h. reuched | the end of their labors. However, so long us they remained in session there was hope that a ttlement would be reached, but today’s de- velopments showed the hopelessness of continuing.
