-Miuers SRT, Agreement Reached by Opera- tors With Sub-Committee Is Repudiated. Scranton Men | United Mine Workers’ Union flatly rejected {his afternoon the comprom- ise agreement framed by a sub-<com- mittee of four of their committee and a sub-committee of four from’ a com- mittee of ten selected by the an- tbracits operators. Negotiations look- ing to a settlement of the disagrec- tents between the miners and tho anthracite operators are temporarily © halted by the action of the commit- tee. v 's against the compromise agreé- ment voleed: by members ‘of the ex- dvative boards of the miner's union were all powerful in forcing the rejection of the campy tw the union. ‘ MANY SUBMIT PROPOSALS TO HOLO UNION VOTE. A meeting of the union coinm)tt executive officers will be held to-night at the Victoria Hotel to decide on a plan of action. This may take the form by the committee to the union as a whole, to be voted on or acted on in convention, or the submission of the whole case to an arbitration board. Although the compromise agreement was rejected by the committee, it might be acceptable to the members of the union by @ majority vote. This is douwbt- ful, however, and the doubt was one of the reagons why the committee refused to agree to the terms of the document. ‘The membre of the committee did nox relish the ct of being repudiated by thelr own organization's rank and fle During the preliminary negotiations in President Baer of the Reading Railroad suggested that the matters In dispute be submitted for ar- ‘biration to the surviving members of the Coal Arbitration Committee appoint- surviving members are Gen. John M, “Witeon, U. & A., retired; FE. E. Clarke, Commimion; Bishop Spalding of Peoria, Ta; T. H. Watkins of Scranton, « bitu- mipoug coal operator, and Judge George KE. Gray of Delaware. The miners’ com- " mittee may regard this suggestion fa- vorably to-night. At any rate, there are several weys open to avoid a strike. SCRANTON MEN HOLD OUT FOR BETTER TERMS.
