veterans Of New orleans tonight refused
the proffered aid Of General Terrence, com
mander In chief of the Grand Army Of the
Republic They decline with thanks The
money to build a home for INDECENT Con
federate soldiers in ALBANIA. The Army Of

the resolutions say: I'VE can not accept
even this generously proffered assistance
from any source, save from our own peo-
pie 1t is the duty of the South and the
South alone to provide for Confederate sol
diers who may need assistance. To <,rmlt
others to do that duty would. IN oul iudg

the Southern people.
But let ii be well understood that
we are grearefui just in the same way

offers financial assistance wnen the angel

we must politely but firmly decline 10 ac-
cept the offer. There are certain duties
which high-minded people can not permit

Coal Operators Say There Will Be No Set
Element of the Strike.

New York, September io.--Mr. John
Markle. the head Of the firm OF G R.
Markle s Co., the largest of the individual
coal operators in the anthracite field, to-
day made statement respecting the pro.
posed arbitration between the employers
and the employees
THERE WILL BE NO ARBITRA-
TON" said Mr. Markle, AND NO SET
ELEMENT OF THE COAL STRIKE IN
ANY WAY. We have not forgotten our
experiences on a former occasion. There

ton. This was the result of local
strike in 1885. In 1857 notwithstanding
the existence Of this contract for arbitra-
ton. the men deliberately broke their
agreement and went on a strike which
lasted six ,months. Yet we re-established
the arbitration agreement after it was
over and went on. In 1907 there was
widespread strike in the Lehigh region
but our men stood by their agreement and
never lost days work, In 1900 Mr.
John Mitchell appeared and began a cam
paign on our property. Our employees pre-
scented list Of grievances, and replied
to them end suggested that il our answers
were not satisfactory they could demand
arbitration under the existing agreement.
Mr. Mitchell distinctly opposed any ar
bitration, asserting that we were insin-
cere. Father Phillips well known priest
of Hazelton, of his own volition, urged
the men to abide by their contract and
suggested Archbishop Ryan OF Philadel-
phia as the third arbitrator, MIR. Mitchell
opposed all OF this, saying that it was
bluff A meeting of our employees was
held to which Mr. Mitchell came unso-
licited and made speech. He asked me
publicly If l would abide by the arbitra-
tors verdict, and when said we would, he
turned to the audience and pleaded with
them nevertheless to go on strike Faith
err Phillips and l followed him, urging
the men to stand by their agreement for
arbitration and the men refused to follow
Mitchelrs lead Then came round of
threats, intimidation apd violence Almost
daily rioting parties of several hundred
men appeared on our property led by
Mitchell's lieutenants in the vain effort to
compel our men to break their agreement
They began a reign of terror which finally
resulted in the employees breaking their
compact and throwing the projected arbi-
tration to the winds.
