New York. Oct. 1O.-After two days OF
conference between the anthracite coal
mine oDeratcrs on one side, and the Gov
nrnor and Senior Senator of New York,
and the two Senator's from PennsylVahla
on the other. the strike of the United
as far from a settlement as the day is
was declared.
Governor Odell laid before the opera
tors the proposition that if they would
concede to the miners an advance or D
cents q ton in the price paid for mining
coal he would promise that the miners
would resume work. Being told further
that the concession would carry with it
racognition of the miners union, the
GENERATORS promptly refused to entertain
the PROPOSAL and took their leave. Later
in the day they and the Pennsylvania
Senators left the city.
John Mitchell, president Of the mine
workers announced his intention of leaV-
ing the city early tomorrow morning,
his destination being Wilkesbarre. Mr..
Mitchell took no part in any OF the con-
ierences of yesterday and today he being
in New York. it is understood in order
that he might be within reach should the
negotiations reach a stage where his
decision for the miners would be re-
CURED.
Governor Odell feels that he has done
all tina it is possible for him TO do,
under existing laws, toward bringing
about a termination of the strike. He
would not say tonight whether or not it
was his intention to call the State Leg
i~slature i'll extraordinary session to con-
slider the enactment Of a law under which
the contention between the coal opera
tors and the miners might be brought
10 an end. That the Governor said, was
something he would not discuss at this
time.

Cd Sill AROUSED BY BAER.
We Will Not Allow Polulcans to Interfere in
This Matter, Says Raer.
CBy the Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 10.-"NNhat do you mean
by politicians? / want you and all the
@Other operators to understand that am
the Governor of New York. the chosen
representative of 1000, 900 people, and that
| am here in this matter solely in that
capacity, and 10 relieve. if possible. an
intolerable situation. And what is more,
I intend to use every power at my COM
rland to do it
Governor Odell made this statement
today to President Baer, of the Reading
Railroad in the presence of United States
Senators Platt. of New York, and Quay
and penrose, of Pennsylvania. It was
the elimination of a rather heated in
tervieW in the office of Senator platt,
and the result of the first meeting be-
tween Governor Odell and President Baer.
Mr.. Baer was not in the best Of humor,
When accompanied by E. B. Thomas,
chairman of the board of directors of the
Erie Railroad, he entered Senator Platt's
office. The conference was begun by a
statement made by Senator Penrose that
the situation was becoming so serious
that some solution must be found at once.
He suggested that the operators should
incline to some concessions toward a set
dement,.
IL YOU iiItdH u lHdty dlu I
Baer, that we are to recognize the ex-
istence of a labor union. / tell you right
now that the operators Will consider no
such proposition"
Governor Oden was on his feet in an
instant. Holding a half burnt cigar in
his hand and white with excitement, he
said:
Are we to understand that no kind OF
a cnnciljatnrV prnnOSitinn will rpcpjvp
consideration at the hands of the oper-
ators?
Il did not say that answered Mr..
Baer, but I do say, and | reiterate it,
that we will not accept political advice
or allow the interference of politicians in
this our own affair"
Then. it was that Governor Odell made
the statement attributed to him at the
beginning of this article.
President Baer, evidently ap~preciating
tln}t he had gone too far, bowed to Gov
errkOr Odell and said:
"GcVernor, | beg your pardon. No per
sonal affront was intended. and we viii
listen to any suggestion you may have tt
make, but again l repeat that we mus
refuse to recognize the union as repre-,
sented by Mr.. MITCHELL"
Il believe said the Governor, "tha'
your position from q puDllc view, is alb
~solutely untenable. If coal operators
railroad men. and other business men cal
combine for mutual profit and protection
there is no reason why laboring mel
should not"
What is the proposition" said Mr.
Baer, coldly.
