To Use His Influence to End Coal
Strike

Petitions are being circulated throughout
the country by the members Of the various
organizations composing the American Fed

dent Roosevelt to use his good offices to end
the coal strike. The members of the So
cletles making up the federation number
at least half a million persons
Bishop McFaul Of Trenton N J., and
Bishop Messmer of Green Bay, Wis., are
the spiritual advisers of the federation and
are interested in the circulation Of the petit
ton The petition does not ask the Presi-
dent to interfere in political way. 1t sim
ply asks him to use his good offices as the
nrst citizen in the land to bring about a
settlement The petition reads in part:
ITO His Excellency Theodore Roosevelt
President of the United States:
we whose names are underwrftten, citi-
zenS of the United States, most earnestly
ask you to use your good offices in bringing
TO an end the unhappy strife now prevail
ing in the coal regions.
Some of us are men and women who
work with our hands; some of us are earn
Ing our livelihood in other ways; many of
US are losers now by this conflict all of us
are appalled, by the prospect of suffering
before the country if it be not speedily ter
minated, and we feel that we have a right
to call on you as our representative to see
what you can do to make peace.
we do not ask you to use any official
power in the matter, for you have none to
use; we only ask you as the first citizen of
the nation to mediate between these con-
tending parties. You can speak as no one
else can speak for the plain people Of the
country.
Every workingman knows that you are
his friend; no capitalist of common sense
can imagine that you are his enemy The
fact that others have spoken without effect
does not shake our faith that your words
OF counsel and persuasion would be needed.

party in this conflict. We want no coercion
to be used or threatened. Coercion is the
game both sides are now playing; we want
them to stop that and reason together

and the plant of the Titan crane, which
was out on one Of the breakways. was
quickly encircled with a defense of ran
dom blocks, and at o'clock In the after
noon was reported to have been rendered
safe. AT 10 o'clock at night the storm mao
Increased to a severity never experienced
within the memory Of the oldest inhabitant
A huge tidal wave leaped forward from
the sea lifting thirty and ffty-ton blocks
like cookie shells and sweeping the Titan
crane over into the sea. The wave in
