clock this murning, at tho Suffolk colliery.
Tho victim was Joseph Shoudls, aged 17
years and employed as a driver. Tho boy
was going down tho slopo In an empty car,
on his way to work, when ho was struck on
tho back of the head by a plank. When
descending In tho car ho was facing tho top
of tho slopo. Death was almost Instan
taneous. Tho remains were removed to the

The Western Strike May be Settled. A l
Proposition Mado to the Miners by

Sixty-five Cent Rate To
Be Decided on Wed
nesday, i
Special to Rvbhiho Hbkald.
IIazlrton, Sept. 4. The situation In this
region is growing serious. If some kind of
settlement is not made tho whole Lehigh re
gion will bo plunged into one of the most
threatening conditions over experienced in
tho anthracite coal fields. The foreign ele
ment havo everything in their own hands,
and tholr leaders are unable to handle them
longer.
Nono of tho colllorles oxcept Joauesvllle
and Coloralno attempted to operate yesterday.
Many of tho strikers wore busily ongaged
last ovonlng shining up their firearms and
dozens of revolvers wero purchased. Tho
mou positively nssort that that thoy do not
wish to damago any property, but will battle
for thoir rights against tho stato troops, if
nccossary.
Tho men did not rosumo their march to
day, for tho reason that most of tho collieries
remained idle. On Monday a monster parado
will bo hold and on Tuesday the strlkors will
march through tbo Lehigh region and per
haps as far as tho Wyoming Coal fields.
President Fahey is in tho region busily en
gaged in organizing branches of tho United
Mine Workors.
What tho outcome of tbo uprising will bo
Is simply conjecture, but one thing is certain,
that tho oporators owo it to thomselves as
well as tho community to bring about a
speedy adjustment of tho troublo. Supt.
Lawall said to-day : "Tho English speaking
employee nro willing and nnxlous to return
to work, but nothing con ho dono with the
foreign olemeut, which is In the majority.
Tho committee that held the conference, with
tho officials voted to return to work, and it is
only on account of the foreigners that this
has not been complied with."
TO SETTLE THE STRIKE.
A Proposition Mario to the Miners hy
Their Kmployers.
Columbus, O., Sept. 4. The end of the
great miners' strike Is In sight. Yes
terday afternoon the national exeeu
tlve board of the United Mine Work
ere agreed, to recommend to the mliir
ers a proposition from the Pittsburg
operators for a stralcht price of 65
cents a ton, to continue in force until
the end of the year. A delegate conven
tion of all miners who have suspended
work has been called to meet In Co
lumbus Sept. 8 at 10 a. m to act upon
the recommendation. President Ilatch-
ford and other members of tho board
say there Is not the slightest doubt
that the miners will approve the rec
ommendatlon. The proposition does not
Involve arbitration, and in effect pro
vides for an Immedlato settlement of
the strike.
President Ratohford said last night
that there were special reasons for the
board recommending the proposition.
In the first place, it concedes the mln
ers a material advance. Had a 60 cent
rate been secured he Is confident It
could not have been maintained for
more than 70 days. The proposition
does away with all the uncertainties
of arbitration, and will bring the strike
to a speedy termination. As soon as
the miners ratify the proposition work
will be resumed In all the mines.
In tho second place the proposition
provides for a revival of the Joint con
ference for the adjustment of prices,
The oporators are pledged to meet with
the miners prior to the termination of
the agreoment and determine the rate
of mining for the next year. Both tho
members of the miners' executive board
and the operators' committee are
pleased ovoi the outcome of the con
ference, and feel that public sentiment
will sustain their action.
Yesterday morning the operators'
committee renewed their first propo
sition for a 64 cent rate pending ar
bitration. This was again rejected by
the miners' board. Then the operators'
committee got togethor and submitted
a new proposition for a straight price
of 65 cents, and after a long discussion
it was accepted by the miners, but sub
Ject to the approval of the miners nt
largo.
A circular has been issued by the
miners' executive board setting forth
the above facts, and adding:
Your executive board and district
presidents, after much deliberation and
a thorough consideration of the propo
sltions, do recommend the St oent prop.
osltlon as In their judgment the best
that can be secured, because of the
circumstances that are apparent to all
who study market conditions since the
Inauguration of the strike. You, haw
ever, are the court of final adjudication
and must decide for yourselves -what
your actions shall be ana when wor
shall be resumed. Additional reasons
will be given and a full report made
of the general situation at the oonven
