D0LPH|N'S PLAN.
Kansas Man Has q Scheme to
End Coal Strike.
Head Of Telegraphers' Union
Proposes a Way.
TO SEIZE THE MINES.
Wants Government to Exercise
Its Right in the Matter.
Proposition is Being Considered
by the President.
70 SEIZE THE MINES.

New York, Aug. u.-President Roose-
velt has In his hands, according to the
World, a plan submitted by Martin Dol
phin, former president of the Interna-
tional Order of Railroad and CONNER
cial Telegraphers, by which Mr.. Dolphin
thinks the strike in the anthracite coal
fields could be ended. President Roose-
velt referred the proposition to the at
torney generals department, and 1t Is
now being considered by H. M. Hoyt,
acting attorney general.
This plan is to have the government
exercise the right of eminent domain
and seize a certain number of the n ines
and operate them for the purpose of
taking out all the hard coal required
by the government in it's various build
ings, on the ships of the navy and for
all other governmental purposes. The
right of the government to intervene in
q strike which interfereS in any way
with governmental functions was
proved, Mr.. Dolphin contends, by Pres
ident Cleveland's action in the Chicago
strike of 1898, when he ordered out
United States troops to keep the strik-
ers from interfering with the transpor-
ta ton Of the mails.
In the present case Intervention of
the kind he advocates. Mr.. Dolphin
says, would also break the backbone
of the strike by forcing the operators
to resume work in all the mines.
