Soft-Coal Operators in Western Penn- sylvania Give Up the Fight. PITTSBURG, April 6.—Peace is now as- sured In the mine situation so far as the soft coal fields of Western Pennsylvania ncerned. The organization of the granting the advance demand- ed by the miners at a meeting tonight de- cided to give up the struggle and will sign the scale. All those at the meeting were representatives of operators who had bound themselves not to sign the scale A number of other members were waver- ing as to entering the agreement. These latter were not present, but it was as- | sured that they, too, would sign upon | | learning of the action of the meeting to- night. At the conclusion of the proceed- ngs the following statement was given to the press: A large number of the independent opera- Pittsburg district have siznified n of signing the 1903 scale In in so doing they on taken by the ry at Indianapolis justice to their customers. n Was the to take in view of the conditi, past two | years. ney be! have in no way changed since ti convention that would warrant an advance in the wage scale at this time. Mr. Robbins, chairman of the Pittsburg Coal Company, at that convention and st the recent convention, stated that the conditions did mot justify an advance in the e scale. The independent operators further belleve that in signing this scale it may work | an injustice to the Pittsburg district. It may have the effect of ultimately establishing a differential against the Pittsburg district in favor of the Western States, and by increasing the wage scale in a depressed market and against the corditions of the coal trade it uitimately work an injury to the miners’ orzanization. Absolute peace and quiet reigns in the bituminous coal fields, where yesterday the miners showed an ugly disposition and refused to work. The feeling of satisfac- tion is attributed to the arrival of dele- gates, who vesterday adjourned and re- turned to their homes. All danger of fur- ther trouble is thought to be over, and by Monday, it is asserted, every mine will be in full operation. The Pittsburg Coal Company reported that of the eighteen mines operated by the Pittsburg Coal Company, the Mononga- hela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Company and the New York and Cleve- land Gas Company but four were idle. Chairman F. L. Robbins of the Pitts- burg Coal Company said: “About 30,000 men are at work, and not more than 2000 employed in our collieries are idle. They will probably resume in a few days. Yes- terday we had twenty mines idle.” Patrick Dolan and Uriah Bellingham, the deposed president and vice president of the mine workers' organization, were in possession of the headquarters and rec- ords today. Frank Feebhan, the newly | elected president, met with the executive 7 | board today to advise as to the legal steps * | to take to recover possession of the head- quarters, but no conclusion has been yet | reached. st WINDER MAKES OFFER. President of Bituminous Operators of Ohio Proposes Arbitration. { COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 6.—John H. | Winder, president of the bituminous op- erators of Ohio, has proposed arbitration | for the settiement of the strike in the bi- | tuminous fields of Ohlo, Western Pennsyl- | \a’ia. Indiana and Illinols. The following is“Winder's telegram, sent today from | Charleston, W. Va., to President Roose- velt and President Mitchell of the Miners' | Unton: “I propose that, subject to the approval | of a econvention of the bituminous opera- | tors of Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, In- |diana and Illinois, which shall be called jat the earliest date possible, the differ- | ences between us be referred for deter- | mination and settlement to a board of ar- bitration, composed of the members of | the present board of concillation, provided | for in the award of the anthracite coal | strike commission, with Judge Gray, or |any person he may appoint, to act as | chairman and umpire. “The decision of this tribunal or the majority of members thereof, in so far as | 1t influences wages, to be effective from | April 1, 1906, and to continue in force uatil | March 31, 198, which decision is to be final and binding on all parties in interest. The employes of the bituminous mines in the territory named to resume work im- medjately and to continue at work pend- ing the decision of said board.” WASHINGTON, April 6.—President Roosevelt has received a telegram from John H. Winder, president of the Ohlo operators, a duplicate of which was sent to President Mitchell of the miners, pro- posing arbitration. At the White House today it was stated that the telegram was sent to the Presi- | dent for his information; that no reply is expected, and none will be sent. e S MAY REJECT PROPOSITION. Mitchell's Arbitration Offer Is Not Alto- Zether Acceptable to Operators, PHILADELPHIA, April 6.—Much im- portance is attached to the meeting of independent operators held: today at Wilkesbarre. Among the mine workers the impression appears to be growing that President Mitchell's arbitration proposition is not altogether acceptable to the operators, and the fear is ex- pressed that it may be rejected when the conferées meet in New York next Monday. Nothing was made public concerning the meeting of the independ- | ent operators. Squads of the State police .are daily traversing the region and report no disturbances of moment. Warrants were issued In Pittston today for the arrest of four members of the State police. They are charged with entering the | homes of mine workers and confiscat- ing guns. BT e Rallroad Hands Hurt by the Strike. BOSTON, April 6.—Owing, it was said, to decreased traffic on account of the coal strike, 1000 men employed in the shops of the Boston and Albany di- vision of the New York Central Rafl- road received word yesterday that | work would be suspended uptil further i notice at Allston, Springfield and Rens- selaer, N. Y. % A s a2 Trouble Affects Lehigh Valley Ruliroad. NEW YORK, April 6.—The Times to- day says: The Lehigh Valley Railroad, as a result of the present situation in the anthracite coal fields, has ordered | Fejervary. The Emperor approved the | Government to Be R,e-established. | Universal Suffrage Law Will | Fe Passed and New Elec- tions Called. —_— . April 6—After fourteenmonths | . always of an acute and | er nature, between the he coalition parties, the Hun- |s oversy finally has been set- tled. Both sides express satisfaction with ihe result, which on the one hand is de- clared to be a complete victory for the crown, but appears to be really in the na- ture of a compromise. The news of peace is received with re- joicing in both halves of the monarchy, every one being heartily tired of the| struggle, which had had such a disastrous effece on the fnanclal and economic situa- ton ir Hungary. The compromise, whicn came unexpcetedly, was chiefly due to the efforts of the coalition, who feared at the last moment the advent of a perfod of ab- solutism, which was Inevitable if the elec- | ttons were not held before April 9, as pre- | scribed by the constitution. The Fejer- | vary Cabinet welcomed the overtures of | the coalition, and thus an agreement was fape«my reached. Hungary can now re- | turn to her normal political existence. The elections will be held within the proper time and parilamentary govern- | ment re-established. The crown wiil get | the recruits wanted for the army, funds for the military will be voted and the cus- | toms, tariff and commercial treatles will | be ratifled by the Hungarign Parllament. The commercial union with Austria is as- | sured until 1917, Francis Kossuth, the coalition leader, today declared himself satisfied. He said | the result was not a victory for either | party. Kossuth announced that he would | not enter the Cabinet, but would remain | the leader of the independence party. | Count Appony! also will not enter the Cabinet. | Count Andrassy and Kossuth today had | an audience with Emperor Francis Joseph | and afterward conferred with Premier ar. con proposal that Alexander Wekerle be en- trusted with the formation of a new Gov- ernment. It Is éxpected that the appoint- ment of the new Ministry and the procla- mation of elections will be officlally an- nounced on April 8. Under the terms of the agreement the Emperor-King assents to the formation of a new Cabinet by the coalition, te earry out the elections under the old limited election Jaw this month and to hold a session of the Parliament in May. The Government guarantees to pass the budget of 1905-06 and also the recruiting, military and investment bills and international commercial treaties, and to maintain the status quo between Austria and Hungary. The new Parllament will be asked to pass a bill adopting universal suffrage and will then be dissolyed, allowing the election of a new Parliament under the universal suffrage system to deal with the military demands and rights of the crown under the constitution. The Government after the universal suffrage c¢lection will be formed in conformity with the desires of the majority of the Parliament.
