WHAT'S GOING ON.
FIVE MINUTES WITH THE BIG
NEWS OF THE WORLD.
Coal Strike Ended.

The history of the past week cover
ing efforts TO end the strike is most inter-
esting. First, succeeding the White
House conference between mine operators
and labor leaders, which was barren OF re-
suits, the president made a direct personal
appeal to John Mitchell, leader Of the
miners, that the men should return to
work at once and that he would appoint
commission to Investigate their grievances
and use all his influence to ameliorate
their conditions. This proposal Mitchell
declined, on the ground that no authority
rested with the president to enforce the
commissions findings. Then the poli-
ticians took hsud with the mine opera
tors. Gov. Odell and Senator Platt Of New
York, Senators Quay and Penrose OF PENN
sylvania met the coal magnates and tried
to induce them 10 yield enough to bring
the miners back at once. They even inti-
mated that the legislatures of the two
states might be convened to pass legisla-
tion harmful to the coal companies. The
operators were unmoved, however. Then,
on Saturday, Secretary Root came to New
York and had long interview with j. +.
Morgan, whose influence With the mine
operators is well understood. This was
followed Monday by a conference between
President Roosevelt and Mr.. Morgan at
the White House, at which the latter,
acting for the operators, submitted
proposition for settlement that had the
approval of the president and his advisers,
and finally met with the acceptance OF the
strikers. 1t provides that the president Of
the United States shall appoint commits
sion Of six members, TO whom shall be
referred all questions at issue between the
respective companies and their workmen,
whether they belong to the union or not,
and its decision shall be binding upon
both parties for a term of three years.
The commission shall consist of a L. ;.
engineer, mining engineer not connected
with the properties involved in this strike,
one OF the judges OF the Z. 5. court in
eastern Pennsylvania, a prominent sociol-
ogist and a man thoroughly acquainted
with the mining and selling OF coal.
Work is to be resumed Immediately, pend
ing the investigation. The commission
shall determine when its findings shall go
into effect. The national guard of Penn
sylvania is on duty in the coal fields. |
There have been some cases of violence
during the week.
