END THE STRIKE. /"
Chairman Hanna Makes an APP
peal to j. Pierpont Morgan.

st. Louis, Sept. PA Republic spe-
cial from New York says: Senator
Hanna went down to Wall street today
and told J. Pierpont Morgan that I'M
less the coal strike was ended at once
the election of Mckinley was in peril.
This strike will run u.s. Mr.. Hanna
is said to have declared. in substance,
to the great financier, land should not
be allowed to exist another day. You,
with the great power at your command,
can stop it and all the Republican man.
ayers unite with me in asking you to
do so. This strike is the only cloud in an
otherwise clear horizon. The party has
all the money 1t wants; in fact, it was
never better off in the matter of funds.
Cash has been pouring in from the most
unexpected quarters and is still pour
ing in
here to ask for money, for we have all
the money we want, but to imp1Ore you
to put an end to a strike which is win
ming thousands of votes for Bryan every
day it lasts.
I'VE who are managing this campaign
believe that the well-being of the party
should stand paramount at this time
with every patriotic citizen, and that
other considerations should be put aside,
at least temporarily. We ask you, Mr.
Morgan, to use your influence to put an
end to this strike"
Morgan, there were present during this
plea former Secretary of the Interior
Cornelius N. Bliss, James Stillman, pres
ident of the National City bank. and
Senator Scott of West Virginia These
gentlemen Joined their voices with that
of Senator Hanna in an earnest appeal
that no efforts be spared to settle the
coal strike at once.
Mr.. Morgan has large interests in
many of the coal roads, notably the
Reading and Lackawanna, and it was
evidently believed by Mr.. Hanna and
those with him that a word from Mr.
Morgan would put all the half-Starved
miners at work again with something
in their dinner pals until after the cleo
ton, at any rate.
Mr.. Morgan was particularly impress
ed by the words of Mr.. Stillman, the
president of the Standard Oil Trust
bank, for whose cool judgment he has
great respect
Hanna and his colleagues are urging
all the coal operators to arbitrate and
have asked them to accept Archbishop
RYAN as arbitrator
