The Washington Conference.

1t may appear from the face of it that
the conference held at Washington on
Friday last on the coal strike was a
failure. 1t was such so far as immediate
results hoped for are concerned, but it
brought the controversy before the
rs, 900, coo people of this great nation as
it had not before been, and displayed
the positions of all the parties in their
true light
The President, not in his official
capacity but as the foremost representa-
tive citizen of the nation, made dignifi
ed plea that both sides should patriot
ically sink their differences temporarily
and renew operations for the good of
the whole. Never was a plea more
representative of the sentiment and de-
sire of great people.
John Mitchell, representing the miners,
rose to the demands of the occasion, and,
in spite of insulting and irritating re-
marks of his opponents, in a straight
forward way proposed to have the issues
to be arbitrated by a disnterested tri-
bunal to be named by the President,
agreeing to abide the decision even if it
were against the appeal of the miners.
The public generally commend this
position taken by Mitchell.
President Baer the first operator to
speak, scornfully refused to have any
thing to do with a tribunal proposed by
Mitchell or appointed by the President.
Instead he demands soldiers to enable
him to work the Mines Mr.. Mitchel's
organization was denounced as anar-
chistic, the miners were called ignorant
men, and he sneered at a government
that would not send troops to the mines.
Further than this he suggested if any
employe has grievance he should go
to court of common pleas. OF course
there would be no remedy to a lone
miner against the powerful union of
rich coal companies. The idea is pre-
posterous.
Others of the coal barons were, If
anything, more insulting to President
Roosevelt than Baer, and all showed utter
disregard for the welfare of millions of
people and for the industries of large
section of our country. They exhibited
heartlessness hard to realize any body
of men to be capable Of
The Washington incident has given
the people of the country an insight
into the real situation and shown up the
arrogance of the coal operators as
nothing else has, heretofore
