purpose CT settling the miners strike
had failed to reach an agreement It
is feared in business circles that the
struggle will last for some weeks yet.
The strike leaders will make every
effort to hold their men in line, trust
ing to cold weather to bring the op'
orators to their terms. The local op-
orators say nothing but failure was
to be expected IRON the New York
conference, as 1T was more Of a po-
litical gathering than anything else.
The officers Of the Third brigade,
with headquarters in this city, made
an announcement that the order OF
Governor Stone to place all persons
arrested for rioting under a military
guard will be strictly enforced. A
stockade is being erected at West
Side park, where the Ninth regiment
is in camp, and prisoners will be con-
fined there. The military authorities
complain that the civil authorities
have been too lenient with some PEG
pie who have been taken into custody
since the military arrived in the re-
gion and that sterner measures are
necessary. The troops camped at
West Side park suffered from the cold
l,r the first time Thursday night,
when a heavy frost prevailed. OIL
stoves were in great demand yester'
day and the dealers in this city and
surrounding towns had no trouble in
disposing Of their stock at advanced
prices.
The operators will make another
determined effort to start up add,
tional collieries next Monday, and in
case the military cannot furnish the
necessary protection for the men who
want to 60 to work, and their fam
lilies, a number Of the local operators
will petition the governor as to the
advisability CT calling upon the presl'
dent for federal troops.
National BoarL Member John Fal'
lon, who is in charge Ct the strike
headquarters durinc: the absence OF
President Mitchell, says the talk OF
calling for federal troops is all moon,
shine, as the state military now cover
nearly the entire strike region, and
they have nothing to do.

CAN'T INVOKE ANTITRUST LAW
Close Advisers Think Administration
Can Do Nothing.

Washington, Oct. 11.-Close advis-
ers of the president, who have con-
ferred with MIN over the coal situa-
ton, say that in their opinion there
was no further action the administra.
ton could take on its iniative to bring
the strike to an end. They say the
administration is ready to do what
ever is possible, but that it has taken
all the action that is practicable. They
scout the idea Of a resort to the anti
trust law and say that no such step
is contemplated, as action cannot be
had under that measure against the
interests involved in the strike.
In official circles here it is suggested
that the postponement Of the confer
ences that have been in progress in
New York yesterday may mean that
Mr.. Mitchell and the district labor
presidents who were with him are
going back to Pennsylvania to sound
the miners on some proposition made
during yesterdays meetings. This,
it is pointed out, is natural infer.
ence, though made without an inside
knowledge of yesterdays proceedings.
Discussed Strike With Cabinet.
For a long time last evening and
again last night the president dis
cussed the coal strike situation with
members of his cabinet After office
hours yesterday afternoon Secretary
Root. Attorney General Knox and
Postmaster General Payne came over
to the White House and remained
with the president until nearly six
o'clock. Last night Secretary Root
and Mr.. Payne were with him for
some time. Further than to admit
that the coal strike was the subject
which brought them together, the
members of the cabinet will not talk
except to say that nothing has been
done. Hon. Carroll D. Wright, the
commissioner of labor, also was at
the White House yesterday afternoon.
His object was to bring with him =
copy Of the arbitration law OF 1893,
which already has been found to be
ineffective as applicable to existing
conditions.
Secretary Root left Washington
last night for New York after the con-
ference with the president. He an
nounced that his object in going was
to register, so as to be able to vote
