The TRUST ISSUE COAL BARONS MEET
They Make the Usual Announce
ment That There Will Be No
Concessions to Strikers.
Mr.. Markle, After Meeting With
Morgan, Says ''0ur Position
..:.s~%7nr Is the Same" 49,

New York, Sept. ia conference of
the leading anthracite coal interests was
held this afternoon at the Philadelphia &
Reading company's offices. Those pres
ent included President Baer Of the Read
ing road; President Truesdale Of the Del
aware, LackaWanna & Western; President
Fowler Of the New York, Ontario & West
ern: President Walters Of the Lehigh VAL
ley; President Oliphant Of the Delaware &
Hudson; Irving Stearns of Coke Bros. &
Co., and John Markle Of G. B. Markle &
Co. The two last named represented the
independent operating interests in the
hard coal industry.
The precise subjects Of the conference
could not be learned, but 1t was stated in
advance Of the meeting that no conces-
sions would be granted and that recent
events Of a semipolitical character would
not be seriously considered.
Following the meeting with J. P. Nor
gan, John Markle made this statement:
II do not think it necessary to repeat
that all talk Of concessions on the part of
operators is foolish, and certainly without
foundation. Our position now is the same
as when Mitchell made his original propo-
sitiOns, and no different than when the
strike began
1--WE said then that we would make no
concessions and we repeat it now. There
is no reason why this should not be un-
derstood. The operators have shown that
they mean it, and I repeat only by way
of emphasis.
There Is just one way to end the strike
by the men returning to work, and every
day they remain away by giving willing
ear to Mitchells specious promises will
only entail further loss and suffering to
them. Conditions are improving daily;
more men are returning to work, and
more coal is being mined.
80 far as recent attempts at settle
ment are concerned it is only necessary
to add that every effort from Senator
Hanna's down has been futile. We have
defined our position and will maintain; it. -

Special to The Journal.
Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 16.-Presidens
Roosevelt was called upon by the Wis
consin Methodist conference yesterday to
refute the report that he has asked the
vatican at Rome to create Archbishop
Ireland cardinal. BY unanimous vote
the conference decided to send the fol-
lowing letter on the subject to the
president:
'His Excellency, President Roosevelt Oyster
Bay, J.. I-Honored Sir--We with pain
published dispatch containing a rumor that the
Vatican has received from President Roosevelt
intimatfon that he would be personally
pleased to that Archbishop ireland is created
cardinal a reward for the services he has
rendered the church and the state. We strongly
doubt the correctness of this rumor. for it does
not possible that the president Of the
United States could thus violate the spirit Of
rhe constitution of the United States which re-.
quires the complete separa tion of the church and
state, and we hope to see 1t authoritatively de-
niei.
"Signed by request of the Wisconsin annual
conference Of the Methodist church.
ID. A. Goodsell,
''Bishop and President"
In addition to this resolution, the con.
ference formally took cognizance Of the
coal strike, calling upon congress to enact
such laws as will authorize the seizing Of
coal mines and railroads in order to pre-.
vent such strikes in the future.

He Meets the Strike Leaders at Wilkes
barre To-day.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept 16.-Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, arrived in town this
morning. He at once went to President
MitchelPs headquarters where he met
National Treasurer Wilson and the dis
trict presidents of the United Mine Work
ers. Mr.. Gompers and the executive Of
f1cers Of the miners union held lengthy
conference. Before he went to the meet
ing Gompers was asked what his mission
here was. He replied that he came to
confer with Mr.. Mitchell and the other
officers of the union regarding the strike.
It was stated that after the conference a
statement will be given out.
At l o'clock the conference adjourned
for dinner. Mr.. oGmpers was the only one
who would speak regarding the delibera-
tions. He said the strike situation was
discussed in all it's phases; the finances
were found to be In good condition; the
relief funds were coming in promptly,
and there was no reason why the strike
should not continue without inf1icting any
hardship OF the strikers.
Mr.. Gompers was asked whether 1t was
proposed to levy an extra assessment In
order to help the miners out. He de-
refused to say whether the American
Federation of Labor will be convened in
extra session to take action Con the strike.

IT WILL BE WAR
The Strike Is Now Reaching Very Acute
STAGE.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 16.-Indications
now point towards decisive steps by the
operators toward an extended and de-
termined effort to open more coal mines
and toward increasing the number. of men
employed.
On the other hand there are positive
reports Of resolutions passed by many of
the locals to the effect that non-union
mining must come to an end.
The era Of peace negotiations is at an
end, in other words, and it is to be war,
open and relentless, from this time forth.
Mobs gathered at the Taylor, at Parsons
and at the Woodward colliery yesterday,
but they did no damage. The house of 4
man employed at the Woodward colliery
was bombarded in Edwardsville. There
was nothing unusual in all this. It was
just an average day of the anarchy which
for months has reigned all about here.
It had nothing in particular 20 do with
the critical conditions which it is believed
will come to such a climax before the
week is out that Governor Stone will no
longer be able to resist the pressure
brought upon him to end the state Of
affairs by affording such protection as will
enable law-abiding men to go about their
daily vocations without fear Of being mur-
dered.

4 HIT AT ADDICKS
Delaware Democrats in Convention
Call Him Very Harsh
Names.
The Situation in the Philippines Is
Regarded With Anxiety and
...- .s Apprehension.

Dover, Del, Sept. 16.-The democrats of
Delaware met in state convention here to-
day for the purpose Of nominating state
treasurer and auditor of accounts. Dele
gates from three counties of the state
met in separate caucauses at IL o'clock
and owing to their long -drawn-out pro-
ceedings, it was nearly o'clock when the
convention was called to order. The fight
hinged on the nomination for congress-
man, the leaders feeling that the selec-
tion virtually meant an election because
the regular republicans and union repub-
licans had separate candidates. The
choice was conceded to Sussex county and
it was in this caucus that the principal
contest was made. 49,, ..,
There were seven candidates from Sus-
sex and after two ballots, Henry A. Hous-
ton, Of Millsboro, was nominated. The
convention late this afternoon will ratify
this choice unless something unforeseen
occurs.
The republicans are united on candi-
dates for state treasurer and auditor OF
accounts and for this reason no fight was
Gratis.
The platform adopted to-day was as fol-
lows:
Addicks Called "Adventurer."
After touching upon local issues the
platform refers to the senatorial situa-
ton, and has this to say of the efforts
Of j.. Edward Addicks to rule Delaware
politics: 49,, .,-..- ...
The delegates Of the democrats voters of the
state Of Delaware in state convention assembled
declare that the question Of overwhelming import
ance to the people of this state is whether the
state shall be wholly controlled by its criminal
and ignorant classes under the leadership of Il
commercial adventurer and his creatures. who
disgracing and corrunting our politics as fal
as they can, only krow enough Of the tradi
tions Of our state to revile them and to attack
the memories of those honrable and upright mel
under whose guidance and advice our state has
ma intained her high position in the union.
1--WE look with anxiety and apprehension upon
the present management of affairs in the Philip
pine islands. We believe that these islands
now in our indisputed possession should be sc
managed to give the Inhabitants speedy con
troll of their local affairs and established
form Of republican government"

KILLED IN 4 ROW

You'll find out later


Coroner Jackson held Sharkey in $4,000
bail and Mrs. Phillips and Mrs. Casey in
$500 bail each as witnesses.
Sharkey made the following statement
preliminary to his arraignnent:
II went in Ehrhardts and saw there
two women with whom I am acquainted.
They called out when they saw me: Come
over and have drink
II went over and sat down with them,
and after had talked to them this bank
er, Fish, seemed to take offense at my be-
ing there. We had a few words and all at
once he drew off with his arm and struck
me. Then we both got up. I went out
one door and he the other. He must
have stumbled down the steps and fallen
in going out"
Coroner jackson made an examination
Of Mr.. Fishs body, and said that no frac-
ture of the skull had been found. He be-
lieved death had been due to paralysis of
the brain, caused by blow on the left
side Of the face or head. He thought
that If Mr.. Fish had fallen on stone or
pavement, the skull would probably have
been fractured. The coroner said that
Ia knockout blow usually caused paralysis
or concussion of the brain. The pupil of
Mr.. Fish's right eye was dilated, while the
left was contracted, and that, the coroner
said, was a symptom Of paralysis of the
brain. '>--
