The terms that are being consider- ed are pretty well known by this time. The operators will agree only to it ten par cent. Increase In wages, a nene-h.our day and con- tracts with the miners as individuals. All talk to the contrary notwith- standing; it is not likely that the miners will theist upon a reeognition of the ahlon, nor are tees* likely to push with very much earnestness the question of weighing of coal. That is regarded as impracticable 111 some of the menes. The independent operators will make a firm stand for some recog- nition in the matter of a settlement with the 1:reamers. It is authoritative- ly stated they will not assume the attitude of belligerents ween the committee meets the coal Presidents nor will they appear as supplicants. The Independents feel that If an in- crease in wages is agreed upon teey will want eome compassion from the coal-carryeng roads in order to com- pensate them for granting an in- crease to the miners.
