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.
