(Special to Evening World from Staff Correspondent.) WILKESBARRE. Pa., Oct. 14.—The first direct hostile utterance relae tive to the proposition addressed to the public by the operators after the White House conference last night to come from Mitchell or his advisers was made at 3 o'clock this afternoon by District President Fahey, who ar rived in response to a summons from Mitchell, Fahey said: “Any proposition considered will have to be addressed by. the operators to the mine workers, and not to the public. I also desire to add that we are not dealing in gold bricks.” ( District President Nichols, who accompanied Fahey, would “not make — any comment, except to say: “We will talk the matter over; that is, what we came for.” MITCHELL COMMUNES WITH WASHINGTON. Both officials went at once to Mitchell's room and remained in com- /eultation with him nearly all the afternoon. The strike leaders did not leave his apartments, He talked several times with some persons in ‘Wash- ington over the long-distance telephone, and it was said one of the men he talked with was the President. District President Duffy is on the way from Hazleton, and will arrive later in the afternoon. Mitchell's refusal to discuss the latest proposition of the operators ren~ ders it impossible to predict what decision will be reached to-night, but it is oF easy to see that the other union leaders do not like it. One of them said: “What's the use in paying any attention to this last move of the operators. They don’t mean anything by it except a bluft, Besides, they showed contempt for the miners by ignoring them and ad- dressing their scheme to the public. If I know anything about Mitchell, the bi ad other leaders and the temper of the men, the proposition will be either # ~ rejected or ignored until a direct and definite proposition is made to the miners themselves and not to the public.” La | MITCHELL IS STILL SILENT. President Mitchell was asked if he and the district presidents had | power to accept the offer of the coal operators and would they call off the strike. He made the following statement: | “Speaking without special reference to the statement issued by the | coal operators, it is the rule of our organization that no settlement can be made by the officers of the union without the consent of a delegate com | vention, | “Courtesy demands that I make my reply to the President before € - | pressing any opinion or making any statement.” 5 MORGAN BACK, HOPES THE MINERS WILL ACCEPT. | “I hope the miners will accept the propositicn made to President | Roosevelt last night.
