STRIKE CLAUSE IN LEASES.
Coal Company So Says, Talking OF
Mandamus Idea.

New York, Oct. John B. Kerr,
general counsel for the New York, On
tario and Western railroad, speaking
Of the report from Boston that GER
tain New England owners Of coal
mining properties in the anthracite
fields in Pennsylvania that are held
under lease by the operators, are
talking of beginning suit to break the
leases because their royalties have
stopped since the strike began, had
this to say last night of the matter:
In the first place, there are very
few New England owners OF coal
lands in Pennsylvania Then, all the
leases. so far as 1 know, contain
strike clauses. They provide that in
case of a strike, when the lessee IS
willing to pay the prevailing wages
to his employees, he is excused from
the payment of royalties during the
strike.
"The leases also provide that the
lessees are excused from paying the
ROYALTIES in case Of an accident at a
mine that prevents the mining OF
coal, or in case trouble en- the rail-
roads makes ii impossible to trans
port the coal.
In other words, all the leases /
know anything ABOUT place the lessee
in the position Z which he owner
would be placed if he were operating
the mines.
"If an operator sttc"--,s - cut the
wages of his men to less ;1an the
prevailing wages and they strike, he
is not excused Dy the strike clause.
But in the present instance the op.
orators are willing to pay the pre-
vniling Wages and are excused from

Sargent Saw Roosevelt.

Philadelphia, Oct. 7.-Sreslient
Mitchell, Of the United Mine Work
ers of America, paid a mysterious
visit to this city yesterday, and after
remaining here about six hours re-
turned to Wilkesbarre. Mr.. Mitchell
arrived here on the Buffalo express
at 1928 a. N. He was unattended anu
no person met him at the station. Mr..
Mitchell passed out of the railroad
station to the street and from that
time until he reappeared at the sta
ton, shortly after noon, his move
ments are unknown. He checked his
grip at the Reading Terminal and
again disappeared, returning about l
o'clock and taking his luncheon in the
station restaurant. He then boarded
a train at 2:3v O'clock for Wilkes
barre.
It was later learned that President
Mitchell had met Carroll d. Wright,
commissioner Of labor, but all efforts
to locate Mr.. Wright proved futile.
As Mr.. Mitchell was about to board
the, train for Wilkesbarre he was
asked if he mad met an emissary from
the president or ii he had received
any communication from Mr.. Roose-
Welt. He declined to answer all
queries excepting those referring to
the situation in the coal regions
which he said was unchanged.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, OCT 7.-President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers
Of America, slipped out OF town BE-
fore dawn yesterday morning for Phll-
adelphia, where ne met Carroll ID.
Wright, United States commissioner
Of labor, who is President Roosevelt's
personal representative on matters
pertaining to the anthracite coal
strike. Mr.. Mitchell returned here
last night unaccompanied and made
the simple statement that he had met
the labor commissioner. He refused
absolutely to discuss his visit to Phil
adelphia, declined TO say where IN
Philadelphia he met Mr.. Wright or
what passed between them. Subse-
uuently he informed a representative
Of the Associated Press that he saw
other gentlemen while there, but de-
clined to disclose their identity.
On the strength that Mr.. Wright Is
close to President Roosevelt there
was a general impression here that
the commissioner carried a message
from the chief executive to Mr..
Mitchell. A rumor, which could not
be verified, was in circulation here
last night that President Roosevelt
has appealed to Mr.. Mitchell to end
the strike in the cause Of humanity.
There is no one here in Mr.. Mitchelis
confidence except his three district
presidents. and it is doubtful If they
knew that he was in Philadelphia
until they arrived here during the day
and found him absent.
Interest in Mr.. Mitchelrs mysteri-
GUS trip was intense all day and even
ing about headquarters. All the local
district leaders called and scores OF
mine workers were also in evidence.
No one seemed to know anything and
all were Of the belief that some sort
Of a move was contemplated. 1mme-
diately after the arrival OF the strike
leader he was besieged, but he re

MITCHELL ORDERS MEETINGS
FOR VOTE Or CONFIDENCE.
Wants Miners to Say Whether They
Approve His Course, at White
House Conference.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. THE con-
ference between Mr.. Mitchell and his
district presidents continued until
Ills p. IN. and at 1870 o'clock, hVe
minutes before the. national president
left for Buffalo, he gave 70 II" press
the following statement which was
hurriedly prepared after he returned
from Philadelphia last nights
"Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 6, 1907.
ITO District Secretaries and All Mine
Workers in the Anthracite Field:
You have no doubt read in the
daily papers the proceedings Of the
conference at the White House last
Friday, in which your oh1cers pro
posed an immediate resumption or
work if the operators would agree
with us to refer the questions at issue
in the strike to the decision OF the
president of the United States and
tribunal named by him. You have
noted the reply of the presidents Vi
the coal carrying roads, in which
they responded to our overtures by
denouncing your union, its members
and officers in tae most vehement and
malicious manner possible. They also
declared that =. large majority Of the
striker S would return to work II
given military protection, and they
demanded that the president send
United States troops to the coal
fields.
In order to demonstrate to the
people of our country that the state
ments of the operators are unfounded
and hat the mine workers are law
abiding citizens, the officers OF all
local unions should call mass meet
ings Of all inca on strike, union and
non-union, such meetings to be held
in each mining town at 2 O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 8. We
know that the mine workers are not
restrained from going to work by fear
of bodily harm; and if this Is the
sentiment prevailing at the meetings,
resolutions should be adopted en-
phatically declaring the statements
of the operators to be untrue.
Advice to Commit No lawlessness.
I'VE also a..vise that acts Of law
lessness by the coal and iron police
and by strikers ne denounced and the
services Of members Of the union ten
dered the local authorities to pre-
serve law and order.
Great care should be exercised
that those on strike do not permit
themselves to be provoked by the
coal and iron police into the commits
sion of overt acts. The operators,
failing to break the strike and de-
prive you Of your well earned victory.
are now attempting to array public
sentiment against you by making
false claims that a reign OF terror
exists in the coal fields. Be steadfast
and true while this struggle for liv-
ing wages and American conditions
Of employment is going on, and we
have no hesitancy in saying that vic
tory will be achieved in the not dis
tant future. The heart Of the nation
beats in sympathy with you and ali
good citizens favor our cause.
Do not fail to have resolutions
drafted in plain, temperate language;
telegraph them at our expense &c
President Mitchell's headquarters i'm
Iediately upon the adjournment o.
meetings.

Fifth avenue and Broadway do

have been decked out in honor of
the occasion. OF flags there seems

England-or elsewhere for that matter 1t is
in the female villain Of her piece-a journalistic
Amazon, big biue-eyed, pale of lock and lash
that she has achieved something like a genuine
triumph. Laura Neale. who can seem on the
surface kindly and generous. does a mans work

Of WILL and now the taking air of comradey
tolerance and good humor 1t is a type which
the conditions Of modern life tend to develop.
and the author has set it before us with rcleut-
less TRUTH and severity. Laura is the most dis
agreeable character in the book, but the one
who is most thoroughly alive, and therefore the
most interesting The plot is less skilfuIy

Of the extremely dilettante hero and his wife

Since Miss Brown printed her first delicate
New-E England vignettes she has made good
progress in the handling of character, and We
hope to find her producing some day long
novel more coherent, balanced and sustained
than this.
