THE COAL CONFERENCE

The conference with presidents OF coal
CARRYING railroads, individual operators
and President Mitchell, of the Nine
Workers Union, called by President
Roosevelt, with "a view to settling the
strike of anthracite miners, ended IN Il
failure to reach an agreement. AT the
end of the days proceedings hooseVei'
said he had no comment to make.
President Roosevelt told the conierees
that the Government could take no legal
steps to cud the strike, but he appealed
to them to reach solution IN the name
of humanity and patriotism. :.
In behalf of the mine workers, fresi-
dent Mitchell proposed referring the
controversy to board arbitration select
ed by the President, and offered to send
the miners to work pending decision,
which would be accepted by the miners
as final. .., -. az
The railroad presidents and operators
refused absolutely to recognize or trans
act any business with Mr.. Mitchell OF
the miners organization, and suggested
that should any differences arise between
EMPLOYEES. as individuals, and employers,
such differences should be referred to the
Judge of the Common Pleas Court located
in the district where the trouble orginat-
ed.
Each submitted separate answer, IN
which It was generally. suggested: "Glve
us Federal troops, and we will give you
all the coal you need."
Neither side accepted the proposition
of the other. :,
There were seven statements in all
presented to President Roosevelt at the
afternoon session. Six Of these were
presented on the part of the operators
and one by Mr.. Mitchell, and his
district presidents.
The latter consisted merely of an Offer
to submit the controversy absolutely to
a committee of the Presidents choosing.
The statements of the representatives
of the coal-carrying roads and the oper-
ators. however, were practically identi'
cal in character. All strongly de-
nounced Mitchell and his colleagues rs
inyeterate violaters of the criminal law,
the stimulators of anarchy, with whom
no negotiations ought to be made, as
no agreement could be enforced. The
striking feature of the statements OF all
the operators was practical demand
upon the President, unless the State o.
Pennsylvania protected the property O
the companies and the lives of those
who were willing to; work, to seno
federal troops into the mine regions t.
preserve order This demand upon thu
President was put rather sharply by Mr.
Marble, that it lay with him to relieve
the situation, quoting the President
words, and then bluntly asked OWL

Mr.. WALSH BLAcKBALLED. Thomas
F Walsh, the Colorado millionaire, and
sponsor for King Leopold before the
American people, has received a blow to
his social ambitious by the rejection OF
his application for membership in the
Metropolitan Club in Washington.
This is the second time Mr.. Walsh has
been blackballed by this fashionable
organization. The clubs first reason
for this action was Mr.. Walsh's connect
ion with a number of other mlllionaires
who protected another club. This or
ganization never assumed shape. The
second rejection of the name of Mr..
Walsh is not quiteunderstood at present.
Mr.. Walsh is just completing the hand
soonest residence in the city. He is also
building a great business block there.
He is on terms of personal intimacy
with the more prominent members OF the

SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. 4, 1902

ALL HOPES concerning yesterdays
conference at the White House have
been dashed to pieces, and while the
damp and chilly northeast wind OF Octo-
Der caused many to huddle around COOK
stoves this morning the boys were an
nouncing the headlines of newspapers to
the effect that the conference OF the
President with the operators and miners
had miscarried and that coal was twenty
dollars a ton in Washington. AT pres
emf MANY in our own city as well as IN
other places in the land have had their
attention directed to the study OF the
prophetic forecasts of the distress OF ma
tions. and are asking each other the
question, Is the dark horse and his rlder

well. When epidemics prevail many
run to and fro with panaceas they believe
are infallible. During the past twenty
one weeks all sorts of suggestions have
been made as to how the situation could
be relieved and the load of anxiety re-
moved from the millions of American
people, and the issue has finally reached
the President of the United states.
The result of yesterdays conference
proves conclusively that diplomacy has
been exhausted and that nothing re-
mains but war to the knife between the
mine owners and the strikers which Is
n result in the survival of the fttest.
In the meantime myriads of shiverlng
American people, deprived Of both fuel
and food. are destined to be witnesses OF
the fearful struggle. That it will be a
bitter conflict is evidenced by the firm
stand taken By the head centre OF the
strikers as well as the following ominous
language of the owners of the mines;
"There is a lawful way to secure coal
for the public. The duty of the hour
is not to waste time negotiating with
the fomenters of this anarchy and inso-
lent defiance of law, but to do as was
done in other emergencies-restore the
majesty of the law, the only guardian OF a
free people, and to re-establlsh order

Monetary and Commercial.

New York, Oct 4.-The stock market
in the initial dealings showed unexpected
steadiness in view Of the unsettling incidents
of yesterday and the announcement of the
failure of the President to settle the coal
strike. Business was only moderate and OPP
orators were mixed in their views. Small
rallies followed the first dealings, but these
succeeded by fresh weakness. The situation
is unsettled largely in view of doubt as to the
probable showing of the weekly bank

New York, Oct. ali the atttuue
of the anthracite coal presidents toward
the striking miners has been changed by
reason of the Roosevelt conference yes
terday, there was nothing to indicate 1t
this morning, when the presidents re-
urned on their special train from
Washington. According to those IN
close touch with the anthracite interests
the strike will have to continue along
the same lines until the miners have
had enough and return to work. Presi-
dent Truesdale, said he did not think
the President would call out federal
troops.
In an interview today President E. b.
Thomas of the Erie Railroad, is quoted
as saying: "We have 1000 men 70
nut into the mines Immediately II the
United States authorities would assure
them protection.
Tamaqua, Pa, Oct. 4.-EverythIng
is quiet in this valley today. The
pickets that have not missed hardly a
morning since the strike started, were
not out this morning. The opinion is
expressed here that there will be de-
sertions from the miners ranks next
week on account of the failure of the
Washington conference yesterday.

of soldiers was started from camp here
When the mob learned the troops were
coming they dispersed. Strikers threw
rocks at the soldiers camp last night

meeting held here last night the follow

Mayor Jones: eve are witnessing one
of the greatest struggles ever waged in

been some talk about fairness in this
war. but what is fair in war? God put
the coal in the coal mines for all the peo-
pie. | hope we will show these men at
the head of the coal companies that there
is no established order Of things. Let's
not wait and hope for some body to pass
a law" In a dispatch the mayor sent
to President Roosevelt congratulatine
him upon his conrse in the strike issue
he said it indicated "the development OF
a pure democracy and the establishment
of the golden rule"
