OFFERS TO RESIGN HIS POSITION

II the Operators Will Show Twenty MUIR
ders Chargeable to the Strikers.
After the operators had read all their
statements the president asked Mitch
ell if he desired to say anything fur
ther, and he replied:
The charge made by the gentlemen
that twenty murders have been COM
mitted in the anthracite coal regions
during the present strike is untrue.
II they will name the men, and will
show that they have committed the
murders, 1 will resign my position.
The truth of the matter is.
as far as 1 know, there have been
seven deaths, unfortunately.
Three of them were committed by the
coal and iron police, and no one else
has been charged with them. God
knows the miners do not escape being
charged with everything done there.
''They speak about burnings. There
was Il reward offered for burnings.
l can bring affidavits OF a hundred
people if necessary that the lightning
caused one burning that they charged
to the United Mine Workers Mr.
President, | have admitted on more
than one occasion that there has been
some lawlessness, but 1 will say that
a large portion of such lawlessness has
been provoked by criminals who have
been brought into the anthracite reg
ions to recruit the coal and iron po-
lice.
Il want to say, Mr.. President, that 1
feel very keeDly the attacks made up
on me and my people, but came here
with the intention of doing nothing
and saving nothing that would affect
reconciliation"
The president then asked the repre-
sentatives of the anthracite companies
whether they would accept MitchelPs
proposition. They answered No" In
response to a further question from
the president they stated that they
would have no dealings whatever with
Mitchell looking toward a settlement
of the question at issue, and that they
had no other proposition to make save
what was contained in the statement
of Baer
This ended the conference and the

Mass Meeting Concludes the Days Work
Some Iowa Views.

Some Iowa Views.
Senator Dolliver. of Iowa, addressed
a mass meeting held at the armOry
last night under the auspices of the
league He vigorously defended the
Iowa idea" Representative Hopkins
and Martin B. Madden, of Chicago, also
spoke. Another mass meeting will be
held tonight at the armOry. Govern
or Yates, Senator Beveridge and. Rep
resentative Grosvenor will be the speak
ers. Early yesterday the Iowa dele
gates met in caucus and selected eX-
Representative George NJ. Curtis to
represent that state on the committee
on resolutions.
In discussing the Iowa idea La
| fayette Young, who is most prominent
among the delegates from that state,
said that he did not expect any radical
action by the convention. He expressed
doubt as to the wisdom of pushing
the Iowa idea, and is inclined to op-
pose any attempt on the part of the
league to lead the party in the creation
of issues. Another newspaper man, a
member of the Iowa delegation who is
taking deep interest in the proceed
ings of the convention. is David Brandt
of the Iowa City Republican.
Representative Reeves, of Illinois,
was conspicuous on the floor. Il dc
not know what the state delegation
will do" said he, "but for myself
will say that do not favor any radical
action on tariff revision by this conven
ton. While there are opportunities
to amend the tariff provisions / do not
think there is any call for an uprising
on the issue. 1 am protectionist my
self"
John r. Virgins, treasurer of the
League, said: "The platform will de-
clare that if there is to be any tariff
revision it must be In the hands Of its
friends, and not its enemies. Trusts
that cheaper products for the people
should be let alone. But combinations
of capital that increase the cost of liv
ing and create monOpOlies should be
destroyed" On the question Of tar
iff revision the New York delegates
are divided, but as rule agree that
the question should be at least freely
| discussed.
Vice presidents Of the league were
selected by the several states and or

PRESIDENT OPENS THE SUBJECT
His Appeal to Both Sides to Drop the Row
and Go to Work.


The conference opened at IL a. m
and the operators and representatives
of the miners were presented to the
president. Those in attendance were:
George +. Baer, president Reading rail-
way system; W. III. Truesdale, presi-
dent Delaware, L ckawanna and West
ern Railroad company; E. b. Thomas,
chairman OF the board, Erie Railroad
company; Thomas p Fowler, presi-

Z. NJ. W.; Attorney General Knox,
Secretary CortelyOu and Carroll d.

The president at the outset expressed
his hearty thanks for their attendance
and stated that owing to his peculiar
relations to the situation he felt that
he should make to them q very care
full statement of his position and of
his intentions in asking them to meet.
He began by stating that there were
three parties affected by the strike,
one being the public, and he spoke fer
the public alone. He said that as
long as there seemed hope of adjust
ment he did not care TO intervene. He
disclaimed ..any right or duty to inter-
vene in this way upon. legal grounds
or upon any official relation that bear
to the situation;' but the catastrophe

cur forced him to use his personal in
fiuence TO bring to an end the intolera-
Bile situation.
He said: Il wish to emphasize the
character of the situation and to say
that its gravity is such that 1 am
constrained urgently to insist that each
one of you realize the heavy burden
Of responsibility upon him. .
The evil possibilities are so far-reach-
ing, so appalling, that it seems to me
that you are not only justified in sink
ing, but required to sink for the time
being, any tenacity as to your respec-
tive claims in the matter at issue be-
tween you. In my judgment the sit
uation imperatively requires that you
meet upon the common plane Of the
necessities of the public.
with all the earnestness there is
in me I ask that there be an immedi-
ate resumption of operations in the
coal mines in some such way as will
without a days unnecessary delay
meet the crying needs of the people.

DEVERY GETS HIS SEATS
Acti.n of the State Convention Reversed
In the Meeting of Congress
sional District.

New York, Oct. 3.-Interest in the
congressional nominations hereabouts
yesterday centered in that to be made
in the Eleventh district by the Demo
Gratis, because the Tammany leaders
had announced earlier in the day that
William s. Devery and his delegates
would not be allowed seats in the con-
ventiOn.
Devery, on hearing this, sent an
emissary to the hall. He threatened
mandamus proceedings, and said that
if it was too late for that method of
attack he would attack the legality Of
the convention proceedings if NOM
nation was made without recognizing
him and his associates Before the
convention met Secretary Smith, of
Tammany, announced that the leaders
recognized the legality of the election
of the Devery delegates.

l. Emphatfcally.

Washington, Oct. 4.-The great coal
conference between the president and
representatives of the operators and
the miners came to an end at the
temporary White House at 200 d. m
yesterday with q failure to reach an
agreement. Apparently the rock upon
which the conference split was recog-
nition of the miners union. The presi-
dent had urged the contending parties
to cease strife in the interests of the
public welfare; the miners, through
the president of their union. had ex-
pressed willingness to submit the
differences 10 the arbitration of tri-
bunal to be named by the president
and TO enter into an agreement to
abide by the terms fixed by the ar
biuatiOn for a period OF from one to
five years.
Reply of the Employers.
The employers. through the presi-
dents of the railroad and coal COM
panieS and leading Independent mine
operator had squarely refused arbitra-
ton, had denounced the miners labor
organization as q lawless and an
archistic body with which they could
and would have no dealings, had de-
manded federal troops to ensure COM
plete protection 10 workers and their
families in the mining region. and
court proceedings against the miners
union. and had offered if the men re-
turned TO work TO submit grievances

What VIII BE Done Next
There the matter closed Last night
both the miners and the operators were
still in the city, but today they re-
turned TO their several localities. each
saying that the struggle will continue.
What if anything will result from the
conference is for the indefinite future
Yesterday the views of the cOntenders
in the great struggle were so extreme
and wide apart that there was no mid
die ground possible, and so the con-
ference came to an end without any
agreement for its oOntinrati0n Wha+
- lie administration will take
next no one is prepared to say. One
of the operators as he left the White
House was asked regarding this and
replied: IF any one knows what the

Those Who Were Present.
Fourteen men. including the presi-
dent, were in the room at the tempo

IOWA IDEA ON THE TARIFF AN ISSUE
Telegram from President Roosevelt
St. Louis Piping for the Next
Meet-Noted Orators.

Chicago, Oct. 3.-Differenccs of opin-
ion concerning revision of the tariff
promise the chief source of spOn-
taneous outburst at the biennial con-
vention of the National Republican
League. which was called to order at
the First Regiment armory yesterday
morning by the retiring president,
Isaac Miller Hamilton, of Chicago.
Otherwise, with the possible exception
of the election contest, there is said
70 be complete harmony among the
states of the Union. Rebellion is eX
pected in the preparation of the
leagues platform, which, it is said,
must cause dissensiOn. The IOwans
are prepared to emphasize their states's
attitude on this subject. Iowa is rep
resented by one of the largest delega-
tons.
Effect of the Presidents Absence.
President Roosevelt's abandonment
of his western tour, occasioned by ac-
cident, has had a marked effect upon
the attendance. More than 1,400 of
1,996 delegates have remained at home
because of the presidents return to
Washington. Roy o. West, in behalf
of the Republicans of Chicago, made
the address of welcome. The election
of officers promises lively contest.
Each state represented seems anxious
for the honor of the presidency. Prob
ably the most prominently mentioned
candidate so far is ]. Hampton Moore
city treasurer of Philadelphia, who
heads the Pennsylvania delegation.
Message That Was Applauded.
The following telegram from Presi-
dent Roosevelt was loudly applauded.
