plhce tonight Mr.. Lewis said that In his talk
with Mr.. Mcleod yesterday the Inter studt-
ouslY reirained from touching on the arbitra-
ton question. and always dismissed 1t by say
Ing that there was nothing to arbitrate.
He laid stress upon the point that the rail-
road company was not discourteous," contin.
uSd Mr.. Lewis. and gave me to understand
that his sending for mo was the company's re-
ply to my letter 10 Mr.. Corbin, and that the
company did not ignore the miners"
Mr.. Lewis added that tho refusal OF the COM
peny to submit the question Of wages to arbi-
tration altered the situation, and showed con-
c~lusively that the fight was between capital
and labor. He said that heretofore the miners
and tho railroad hands had no cause In COM
mon, but that In all probability they would now
unite and make the two strikes one.
