THE STRIKE SETTLED.

| The strike has been settled apparently
dent Mitchell are concerned. While the
latter left Washington after his two
conferences with President Roosevelt
before the ~latter's conferences with the
coal operators it is to De presumed that
the announcement by Secretary Root
that a settlement had been reached is TO
be taken as meaning hat he two sides
through their separate Conierences had
come to an agreement regarding the
terms OF arbitration and the members
Of the board. AS has been said before,
the matter now will have to be left to a
miners convention for ratification of
the action of their president. The ex-
ecutive board members of the three dis
tricts were to meet in W:lhesbarre yes
terday when President Mitchell would
lay before them the arbitration PROPOSE
ton. 1t is for them to say whether
there shall be called a convention TO act
upon it. If this board objects to the
plan We suppose they will still call the
convention, though it is in their power
~ ANAdSt ~ w ~. 1h-lI, IL liz GULF
vention is called it will be for it TO de-
clare in favor Of or against acceptance
OF President Roosevelt's proposition.
So. while it looks as If there will soon
be al end OF the strike, this is by no
means a certainty. There are still two
contingencies. the consent of the dis
trict boards to the plan and their call
of the convention to ratify their action,
and its ratification by such convention.
Even if everything moves smoothly
the arbitration board can hardly get to
work on the case for a week or ten
days. 1t will be some time next week
before the miners convention can meet
When it does convene its work will
likely be quickly done There is little
probability, though there is a possibility
of it's refusing to sanction the action of
Mr.. Mitchell and the board in accepting
the plan. if the latter make such recon-
If that board at its meeting
approved of Mr.. Mitchell's action, it
can be said to almost a certainty that
the strike is about over.

PRESIDENT MITCHELLs SILENCE.

President MitchelIs silence as to what
position he will AXE as to the arbitra-
ton proposition of the coal operators
before he is "in possession OF h full
meaning" of the propose IS a strong
indication that he is not satisfied with
that document. We are afraid he will
wait in vain If he waits for the coal
men to send him a copy of their propo-
sal. and when he gets one from the
president he will know no more about
the full meaning Of the proposal than
ne does now. The men who presented *
10 the president will certainly not go
into an explanation Of it's meaning TO
Mr. Mitchell. but will leave him to put
his own construction upon it. We can
not see that this arbitration proposition
has brought the two sides any nearer
together than they were before. We 10
not believe the officers of the miners
union Will advise their people to accept
the terms. Whether they favor it Or
not. it's acceptance or rejection must
come from u convention of representa-
tives Of the miners and that conven-
ton will be pretty apt to decide as Mr..
Mitchell advises. The silence of all the
miners union officials on the subject is
ominous; it produces the feeling that
their sentiments are against accep-
lance. Were they inclined to the other
view there would AVE been let drop
some words which would give the pub
lie an inkling as to their sentiments. In
fact. the only hint dropped, that by
District President Fahy, creates the i'm
preston that he at least is opposed 70
acceptance.
Should the miners officers advise ac- |
~ceDtance of the proposition the question
Will have to be left to a convention.
This cannot meet for a week or more. |
In the meantime the strike will con-
tinue. Should this convention decide to i!
accept the operators plan we suppose
the men would return to work at once
under former agreements pending the |
action of the arbitration boad. While |
the strike cannot be ended under q |
week or ten days, the moment it is
known that President Mitchell has ad-
vised in favor of acceptance a great
anxiety will be lifted off the public; the
suspense will be over, for it will be
recognized that it will be only a ques-
ton of a few days before the mines are
again worked on full time. Should the
officers advise against it the outlook
will be gloomy indeed and there is no
telling hat will be the result unless
the operators amend their proposal by
striking out that part ignoring the
union.
The objection to the clause in the op-
orators proposition designating the
character of men to compost the board
of arbitration will not stand in the way
of an agreement being reached. 1t
would have been much better had this
been left out originally. for the presi-
lent should not be trammeled with any
restrictions in the selection of the MEM
beers of the board. Full confidence IN
his integrity and judgment should be
had or he should not be asked to make
the appointments.

DIR. LORENz TREATS POOR TOTS.
Eminent Surgeon Who Got n Vast
Fee Operates OH Nine Children for
Nothing.
Especial to New York World.)

Especial to New York WORLDLY
Chicago, October 13.-Clad in SUR
geon's robes, arms barred to the elbows.
Adolph LorenZ, of Vienna, operated
upon nine children in a clinic of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons to-
day. Five hundred students and physi-
clans watched his every movement with
GREATNESS interest. The operations were
similar to the one performed yesterday
upon Lolita Armour.
The children ranged in years from
six to ten. Several had already been
subjected to unsuccessful operations.
Under the deft manipulation of the
surgeons hands dislocated bones were
brought together, plaster casts and
strong bindings applied and all given
hope of escaping from a life of suffering.
Il regret" DR.. Lorenz said, that I
shall not have the opportunity of DEM
onStrating the fact that in the cases
1 am about to operate on, unilateral
n bilateral ~congenital d~islocations OF
the hip are permanently cured by the
operation. That they are so cured in
every instance I have had the oppor
tunity of demonstrating in Rome, Ber-
lin, Moscow, Hamburg and Vienna. By
lily AL AAS AilNiC iIAiioS - 1iCS "
bandages and fit for use 1 shall be
| back in Vienna.
| The first case was Nellie Sykes. a
golden haired tot of six years. Anaes-
| theticS were applied Rapidly the sur
geon began work. He drew the little
| limb almost up to right angle with the
| body. Pausing he said:
THE manipulation I am about to
make might easily break delicate bones
1t is not necessary, however. 1t is
only necessary to know o to handle
the bones"
A series of rapid turns, twists and
pressures followed. Then he stopped
and pointed to the spot where the dis.
location had been apparent. h ugly
protrusion was gone, the depression
beside it was filled and the hip seemed
normal The 500 looking on broke out
into applause.
Then began the binding. First layers
of cotton and wool were bound all
about the limb and hip. The limb was
then placed again at right angle to
the body and a plaster cast applied.
1t was then bound in this unnatural
position to remain six months. By that
time the muscles will have grown
strong enough to hold the femur in
place.
Those operated upon were: Nellie
Sykes. six; Sylvia Erickson, nine; Mar
garet Bentzsen, six; Elizabeth Lord
six; Annie Turner, six: William Hough
ten; NJ. Lehan, seven: Lawrence Kelvin
nine; e Jacobs, six.
No charge was made for the work
If more crippled children be found by
Wednesday, DR.. Lorenz will conduct
another clinic.
1t Is positively asserted here thai DIR
Lorenzs fee is to be $50, 900 contingent
upon the success of the operation upon
little Lolita Armour. The contract was
made in Vienna OF course DR.. Lorenz
will a this fee with his assistant
Dr. Mueller, the senior urgeon taking
the greater share.
Whether the contract calls for the
payment Of the expenses of the two sur.
geons is not known.
