FIVE cents a ton increase, will person
ally present it to the miners. and ! be-
lieve they will accept it. 1t is fair
proposition"
Does this mean, Governor Odell, that
we are to recognize the miners union?'
Mr.. Baer asked.
at certainly does answered Governor
Odcll, quickly; land there is no reason
why you should not"
Mr. Baer and Mr.. Thomas rose to go,
Mr.. Thomas remarking that the matter
would be presented to the other opera
tors and that an early answer would be
forthcoming.
Mr.. Baer said
I'VE are to meet committee of the
Manufacturers Association on Tuesday,
and we may have an answer then"
The conference broke up, Mr.. Baer and
Mr.. Thomas Withdrawing. Senators
Platt Penrose and Quay talked over the
matter for short time and then they,
too, separated, the two Pennsylvanians
announcing that they would go back to
Harrisburg and discuss the situation with
Governor Stone.
Governor Odell was not in talking
mood when he left the conference. He
went directly to the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
and during most of the afternoon re-
ceived callers. Mayor Low, Arson G.
McCook, Edward Lauterbach, Congress
men Lessler and Littauer, and Senator
Plat were among his callers. To one of
those the Governor said:
1.-THE coal operators may postpone this
matter until Tuesday, but l do not pro-
pose to postpone it. They are not acting
fairly toward the people. believe shall
find some remedy
About five o'clock, John Mitchell, ac-
companied by L. n. Hammerling, of
Wilkesbarre called and had a long con-
ference. While this was going on a dis
patch announcing that the operators re-
fused to consider the terms offered by
the Governor was received.
When the conference was over, Cover
nor Cdell refused to say what had oc-
Cured and Mr.. Mitchell was equally re-
ticent, 1t is believed, however, that Gov
ernor OdeH presented his proposition of
the settlement to the leader of the
miners union and that Mr.. Mitchell said
he would present it to the district presi-
dents in the hope that it would be ac-
ceDted.
Governor Odell said: MIR Mitchell
was eminently fair and showed every dis
position to adjust the serious situation y
There is nothing to justify the asser-
tion that negotiations will be resumed
next Tuesday, as one of the coal presi-
dents put it, 1.-THE incident is closed
The publicists, said thisS gentleman,
made a number of suggestions all of
which we turned down. These included
ten per cent increase in pay, decrease
of working hours, and recognition of the
union, as we'll as number of other
propositions which we regard as equally
unbeatable. In fact we found it impos-
sible to negotiate with them and said So"
]. P. Morgan, who conferred with sew
eral of the operators during the day,
would not discuss the latest develop
ments, but it is known that he has not
swerved from his purpose not to become
a party to the controversy.

UNDF r THE ANTITRUST ACT.
The Operators Demand That Proceedings be
Instituted Agalns Miners Union.
(By the Associated Press. J


New York, Oct 10.-David Wilcox
vice-prcsident and counsel for the Della
ware and Hudson Railway Company has
sent to President Roosevelt letter de-
handing that the Federal government
proceed against the miners organizations
on the ground that it is conspiracy to
prevent Interstate commerce. Mr.. Will
cox, it is said on authority, represents
all the coal operators in this action, and
was selected as their spokesman.
The letter was made public in this city,
together with a letter written several
months ago to the President along the
same lines. The letter says that the
United Mine Workers is an illegal or
ganizaton, and that the writer desires to
submit some considerations which seem
to establish that the national govern
ment has power to take action against
the union, under the Sherman Anti
Trust Act. Mr.. Wilcox says the ques-
ton is whether the mine workers COM
bination constitutes a restraint upon
Interstate commerce.

cDsLL AROUSED By BAER.
We Will Not Allow Politicians to Interfere in
this Matter, Says Baer.
(By the Associated Press

New York, Oct 1O.-''What 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 100000 people, and that
l am here in this matter solely in that
capacity. and to relieve. if possible, an
intend to use every power at my COM
Eand to do it."
Governor Odell made this statement
today to President Baer, of the Reading
Railroad in the presence of United States
Senators Plat. of New York, and Quay
and Penrose. of Pennsylvania. 1t 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 set
Element.
IF you mean by that" said President
Baer. "that we are to recognize the ex-
istence of a labor union. l tell you right
now that the opera tors will consider no
such proposition
Governor Odell was on his feet in an
instant. Holding half burnt cigar in
his hand and white with excitement, he
said:
sAre we to understand that no kind OF
a conciliatory proposition win receive
consideration at the hands of the oper-
ators.
II did not say that" answered Mr..
Baer, but | 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 appreciating
that he had gone too far, bowed to Gov
ernor Odell and said:
Governor, / beg your pardon. No per-
sonal affront was intended. and we will
listen to any suggestion you may have to
make. but again l repeat that we must
refuse to recognize the union as repre-
sented by Mr.. Mitchell"
II believe" said the Governor, that
your position from public view, is alb
solutely untenablc. If coal operators

combine for mutual profit and protection
