Denver, Oct. 11.-Charles Meyer,
Presidentof the Western Fedora
tion of Miners, sent a dispatch last
night to President Mitchell at
Wilkesbarre, Pa, in which he offer
ed the cooperation Of the Miners
Federation in an effort to close ev-
cry coal mine in the United States
and Canada pending settlement
of the anthracite strike. Following
is the text of the message:
Dedver, COL, Oct. Sth.
John Mitchell, Wilkesbarre, Pa:
Exigencies demand that no coal of
any kind be mined in the United
States and Canada until the an
thracite strike is won. The West
eun Federation of miners will CO.
operate to this end.
(Signed) CHAS. MOY, Pres.
To this message President Meyer
received the following reply:
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct, 8.
Charles Meyer, President West
ern Federation Miners, Denver
Col: Telegram received. Shall
give careful consideration to your
suggestion. Many thanks for the
proffer of cooperation and assist
ance.
(signed) JOHN MITCHELL.
''The significance of this corres-
pondence," said President Meyer
today, "is far reaching. 1t means
that if President John Mitchell will
call out all his. men in every soft
and hard coal mine in this country
and Canada the Western Fedora
ton of Miners will Immediately co.
operate with them and withdraw
every man we have in the coal fields
of the West, Northwest and Cana
da. And this will mean that the
stubborn mine operators in Penn
sylvania will have to bring this
long strike to an end or the people
throughout the country will know
the reason why.
"This is the only way to end the
trouble. There is no u Sc in tempor-.
izing any longer with the mine op-
orators of the East with their no.
tions of Divine rights and other rel
les of monarchy. What is needed
is decisive action. This will open
their eyes to the power and strength
of labor. It will do more, as it will
awaken the people throughout the
country and Canada to the true
condition of things"

Baltimore Sun: The attitude of
the coal trust before the people is
incomprehensible. Their response
to the presidents efforts to settle
the strike and avert what may be
an unlawful calamity will excite
general indignation and divest the
coal corporations of all sympathy
from any reasonable man. The
president put the case of these men,
the representatives of the mine own
ers and the representatives of the
mineworkers, in plain and forcible
language. But his strong appeal
fell upon deaf ears. It aroused 70
sympathy for the suffering millions
when the winter comes. The pos
sibilities of rioting, bloodshed, suf-
fering, sickness and mortality did
not move them. Each one with
his cellar full of coal and with mag
nifcent bank accounts was unmov-
ed by the picture which the presi-
dent presented to his view. These
men have in their grasp the fuel
supply of millions. They have in
their control the roads to bring the
fuel to market. They show them
selves Indifferent to the suferings
and the necessities of the people. It
now remains to be seen what can
be done. Is the government power
less, is it's arm paralyzed, that it
cannot protect the people in this
time of danger and urgent need?
That is the question.
Buffalo Courier: The presidents
attempt to obtain relief for the suf-
fering public failed, but it had the
effect of sharply defining the case
for the peoples understanding.
They can see who are the real an.
archists in this country.
A simple word of refusal would
have beer wiser than the lecture
(of Mr.. Baer) to the president, and
the gratuitous insult to the intelli-
gence and heart of the American
population.
