No statement has been given out concerning the action taken at yesterday afternoon's meeting of the individual operators, in Wllkesbarre, b".)t It Is reported that an agreement was reached to vote against the acceptance of the arbitration proposal.

It is believed that the op-, erators' refusal of the arbitration proposition will be made In the nature of an extended statement. This statement, will set forth that the main questions at Issue, except the demand for an increase in wages have already been arbitrated and that they (the operators) are willing to abide by the award of the arbitration commission on these points. The mine workers will be asked to do likewise. The rejection of the proposition will be followed Immediately by the calling of a convention of the mine workers, which will likely be held in Wilkesbarre. At this convention, the question of strike or no strike will be definitely decided.Two Members of Troop B, of the State Constabulary, Given a Hearing by Alderman Barrett In Fernbrook Colliery Trouble.

When the mine worker left the place for any reason his successor would be started In at reduced wages, say $1.75, and then the 10 per cent, increase would be added, which would not give him as much money as he received before the award was made.

No statement has been given out concerning the action taken at yesterday afternoon's meeting of the individual operators, in Wllkesbarre, b".)t It Is reported that an agreement was reached to vote against the acceptance of the arbitration proposal. It Is pointed out that the meeting lasted only about an hour, showing that there must have been unanimity of np-lnjon an Oio nubjoel utvuiitff the "Individuals. It is believed that the op-, erators' refusal of the arbitration proposition will be made In the nature of an extended statement. This statement, will set forth that the main questions at Issue, except the demand for an increase in wages have already been arbitrated and that they (the operators) are willing to abide by the award of the arbitration commission on these points. The mine workers will be asked to do likewise. The rejection of the proposition will be followed Immediately by the calling of a convention of the mine workers, which will likely be held in Wilkesbarre. At this convention, the question of strike or no strike will be definitely decided.Two Members of Troop B, of the State Constabulary, Given a Hearing by Alderman Barrett In Fernbrook Colliery Trouble.

When the mine worker left the place for any reason his successor would be started In at reduced wages, say $1.75, and then the 10 per cent, increase would be added, which would not give him as much money as he received before the award was made.
