The operators propose that if the differences cannot be settied by the “interested parties” tnemselves, they be submitted to the board of concilia- tion provided for in the award of the anthracite coal strike commission of 1902. The miners’ demands were formulated last September at Wilke | barre, Pa., ana were ratified last week by the United Mine Workers' conven- tion at Indianapolis.
