They can work only under the pro-
lection of armed guards. Thou
sands OF other workmen are deter
red from working by the intimida
tion, violence and crimes inaugus
rated by the Unit ed Mine Workers
over whom John Mitchell, whom
you invited to meet you, is chief.
And among other things he said;
"The duty of the hour is not to
waste time negotiating with the
fomenters of this anarchy and in-
solent defiance of law, but do as
was done in the war of the rebellion,
restore the majesty OF law, the only
guardian of free people, and to
re.establist order and peace at any
cost
The government is a contemp>
tible failure if it cab protect the
lives and property and secure the
comfort of the people by only com
promising with the violators of law
and the lnstigators of violence and
crime.
Just now 1t is important to
teach the ignorant dwelling among
us, mislead and used as tools by
citizens of other states, that at
whatever cost and inconvenience
to the public, Pennsylvania will use
the whole power of government to
protect not only the man who wants
to work but his wife and children
while he is at work, and TO punish
every man who by instigatlon or by
overt acts, attempts to deprive any
man of his liberty to work.
Under these conditions we de-
cline TO accept Mr.. Mitchell's con-
siderate offer to let our men work
on the terms he names.
"He has no right to come from
Illinois 10 dictate terms on the ac-
ceptance of which anarchy and
crime shall cease in Pennsylvania,
He must stop his people from kill-
ing, manning and abusing Penn.
sylvania citizens and from destroy
ing property. He must stop it be-
cause it is unlawful, and not be
cause of any bargain with us"
To the accusations of the mine
operators, Mr.. Mitchell said "Mr
President, | have admitted or
more than one occasion that there
has been some lawlessness, but
will say that a large portion o
such lawlessness has been provok'
ed by criminals who have beer

ashlngJOn, OCl. o. ne CodI
conference between the President
and representatives of the opera
tors and miners came to an end at
the temporary white house this af-
ternoon with failure to reach an
agreement. Apparently the rock
upon which the conference split
was recognition Of the miners un-
ion.
The president had urged the
contending parties to cease strife In
the interest of the public welfare.
The miners, through the president
of their union, had expressed u
willingness to submit differences to
arbitration of a tribunal to be
named by the President and to en-
ter into an agreement to abide by
terms fixed by the arbitrators for a
period of from one to five years.
The employers, through the presi,
dents of the railroad and coal com.
panies and leading independent
mine operator had squarely reius,
ed arbitration, had denounced the
miners labor organization as a
lawless and anarchistic body with
which they could and would have
no dealings; had demonstrated the
need of federal troops to ensure
complete protection to workers anC
their families in the mining re
gion, and wanted court proceedings
against the miners union, and haC
offered, if the men returned tt
work. to submit grievances at in
dividual collieries to the decision
of the judges of the court of com
mon pleas for the district of Penn
sylvania in which the collier,
was located.

TRADE REPORT.

r. g. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
on trade last week asys:
Speculation waits upon politics, but
the legitimate business is not disturbed
by the approaching elections. New
labor controversies have been promptly
settled by advancing wages, and the
gradual improvement in supplysof. coal
has reduced prices and restored activity
in manufacturing. Complaints are in
creasing as to the tardy movement of
freight, miles of cars being stalled by
the lack Of motive power, and many
roads refuse to accept further shipments
till the blockades are relieved. Lower
temperatures have stimulated retail
sales of seasonable merchandise, but
frost comes too late to seriously injure
agricultural products. Liberal con-
sumption sustains quotations in most
lines, domestic demands being supple
mented by large exports. Operating
expenses of railroads have increased in
many cases to such degree that the
earnings are some what curtailed, but
gross earnings for October thus far ex-
iced last years's by ~ per cent, and
those of 1900 by 1876 per cent.
