END OF STRIKE Is IN SIGHT
OPERATORS HAVE FINALLY DECIDED -
ARBITRATE.
Way Ii Now Open for Compiete Settle
msnt, and Il is Believed Miners VIII
Soon Resume Work.

by authority of J. p Morgan, who,
with his partner. Robert Bacon, and
Secretary Root was In conference with
President Roosevelt at the temporary
White House for an hour and half, q
statement was given out by Secretary
Cortelyou, Ia which the presidents OF
the coal carrying railroads and mine
operators propose a commission OF FIVE
persons TO adjust the differences and
settle the coal strike 10 the anthracite
coal fields OF Pennsy lvania. The pro-
position Is believed by the administra-
tion to be satisfactory to the miners
as 1t covers the proposition made by
President Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers union, with additional con-
ditions, which, it Is believed, the
miners will accept The statement
follows:
The operators have agreed to the
appoin tment of commission, TO be
appointed by the president OF the
United States, to whom shall be re-
ferred all questions at issue between
the companies and their own employees,
whether they belong to the union or
not, and the decision of the commits
sion shall be accepted by the operotors.
The commission Is to consist OF an
army or navy engineer officer, and ex-
pert mining engineer not connected
with the coal mining properties, one OF
the judges Of the United States courts
OF the eastern district of Pennsy ivania.
man Of prominence, eminent AS Il
sociologist, and a man who, by active
participation in mining and selling
coal. is familiar with the physical and
commercial features of the business.
The operators also make 1t part OF
the proposition that the miners shall
return to work as soon as the commits
sion is constituted and cease all inter
ference with non-union men. The
commission Is to name "A date when it's
findings shall be effective and to gov
ern conditions OF employment between
the companies and their own employees
Tor at least three years.
When no official statement as made
at the White House after the oper-
ators' address was made public by Sec
rotary Cortclyou, the opinion was ex-
pressed that the way is now open for "A

that the mines will soon be in oper-

CONDITIONS IN SAMAR.
General Grant Tells Of the situation In
the Island.

Speaking OF the conditions on tho
island of Samar General Fred d. Grant,
who has just returned. from the Philip
pines, said IN an interview: "Samar
is enjoying the 6rst period of pe1ce
that 1t has ever known aud I am en-
tirely satisfied that the Inhabitants
Of the island will not attempt TO make
any further trouble for our govern
ment.
NOW that they have been forced
by the stress of military operations to
cease their bostilities the natives for
the most part seem absolutely con-
tented with the new order of things.
When first went to Samar, IL was u
case of fight your way everywhere and
protect yourselves while doing SO. A
soldier could not venture much out of
bailing distance Of even the conquered
towns without being set upon and
killed by savage natives.
"lhe Moros, of course, will commit
acts Of depreciation now and again,
but 1t needs only strong police force
TO hold them In check. A little trouble
may also be expected from the natives
Of the Sulu group, who are more ig
uoran than those on the other islands,"

REBUKES COAL OPERATORS.
Very Plain Talk From Governor Odeii and
President Baer.

Very Plain Talk From Governor Odeii and
President Baer.
"What do you mean by politiciansP
want you and all operators TO under
stand that l am the governor of New
York, the chosen representative OF
2 1000, 900 people, and that l am here in
this matter solely in that capacity, and
TO relieve II possible, an intolerable
situation. And, what is more, intend
to use every power at my command to
do IT,"
The foregoing statement was made by
Governor Odell of New York TO Presi-
dent Baer Of the Reading road, In the
presence of United States Senators
Plat OF New York and Quay and PEN
rose of Pennsylvania, in a conference
on the coal strike at New York Friday.
1t was the elimination OF heated in
terview in the office OF Senator Platt
and the result OF the meeting between
Governor Odell aud President Baer.
Mr.. Baer was not In the best OF
humor when, accompanied by K. b.
Thomas, chairman of the board OF
directors of the Erie railroad, he en-
tered Senators Platt's Office. The con-
ference began by a statement made by
Senator Penrose that the situation was
becoming SO serious that some solu-
ton must be found at once. He sug-
gested that the operators should in
cline 10 some concessions toward q
settlement
'If you mean by that" said Presi'
dent Baer, "that we are to recog nize
the existence of a labor union, l tell
you right now that the operators will
consider no such proposition"
Governor Odell was on his feet in an
instant. Holding a half-burnt cigar
In his hand, and white with excite.
ment, he said: "Are we to understand
that no kind Of conciliatory PROPOSE
ton would receive attention at the
hands of the OPERATORS"
II did lot say that" answered Mr..
Baer, but do say that we will mol
accept politica. advice or allow the in
reference of politicians in this. our
affair"
Then 1t was that Governor Odell
made the statement attributed to him
NJ the beginning of this article.
President Baer, evidently appreciat
ing that he had gone too far, bowed tc
Governor Odell and said "Governor
| beg your pardon. No personal atfron'
was intended, and we will listen tc
any suggestions you may have to make
But again repeat that we must re
fuse to recognize the union represen tee
by Mr.. Mitchell"
III do believe" said the governor
"that your position, from publ,
view, is absolutely unterable. II Goa
operators, railroad men aud other bus
mess men can combine for mutual pro
fit and protection, there Is no reason
why laboring men should not"
