Wayne MacVeagh and the I'm
iversity Presidents Indulge
in Caustic Speech
COAL STRIKE QUESTION CAME UP
Criticized University Men
for Lack of Attention to the Great
Questions That Asitate the Business
World-The University Graduate and
the Mine Graduate.

New York, Dec. 3t--The coal strike
question was discussed by some speak
ers at dinner given at Sherry's last
night to delegates TO the University
Yale, so, speaking on Universities and
Modern Business suggested playfully
that each university should have its
trust and after assigning various COM
bines to different universities said:
Somebody else can take John Mitch
ell and the strikers. They are the big
gest trust of ALL This aroused Wayne
MacVeagh, who said, speaking of uni
versities and Public Affairs" 1.-THE
university man must pay more atten-
ton to great questions like the coal
trouble. An immense industry had
drifted out Of the hands of men in
charge, honest, well-meaning men, as
capable as you and !. But it had drifted
out of their hands and the nation was
face to face with winter without coal.
Then graduate of university did ap-
pear and said coal must be mined. And
he was the chief executive. Then an
other graduate appeared, of almost
equal authority, a financial leader, and
he said, Coal must be mined, but the
issue was not entirely settled by either
or both of them. 1t depended, not on
university graduate, but on graduate
of a coal mine, who said: IT arbitra-
ton is conceded, for which have been
asking for eight months, coal will be
mined
..Arbitration was granted and coal
was mined, but il one had been less
persuasive and another had not agreed,
then the mines would have been her
:metical,y sealed for the winter. You
must deal, not alone with coal barons;
YOU must deal with men who mine coal
ana bring it to the surface. You must
administer the government with Ideals
or civic virtue"
MacVeagh was followed by President
Eliot. of Harvard, VINO suggested tnat
each of the gentlemen preceding MIN
had slightly wandered from the SUB
iect and referred pleasantly to Mac
veagh,s impetuosity and his discussion
of the strenuous life" He then out
lined an ideal strenuous life ana ied the
discussion into quiet channels.
