J By Wire to Tho SentlnW. NEW YORK, April !. Many dif ferences have developed among the anthracite coal operators as t'o tho exact ualorc and extent of the counter proposition that is to be made to Pres ident 'Mitchell's proposal for arbitra tion and after a short meeting this morning it. was de cided to request an adjournment of the Joint conference scheduled for this afternoon, until to morrow afternoon in order that the operatois might agree upon some form ofr counter proposition' that would be satisfactory to alt operators. President Baer, of the, Reading, and E. B. Thomas, of the Lehigh Valley, who is .chairman of the operators scale committee, called up Mitchell over the telephone shortly before It o'clock this morning and- made a re quest for adjournment. 'The request was granted and Mitchell made pub lic thetfl:s of adjournment. I The difference of opinion as to how far the counter proposition should go is not serious, but as the situation Involves an arbitration of an arbitrated condition which the miners claim has- undergone many changes, it Is delicate and Intricate and as'it affects the various Interests differently there ' arose 'among the operators -tome different views. The independent operatois while holding to various opinions, say that any counter proposition involving arbi tration that is satisfactory to-the tUe coal roads is satisfactory to them.
