AS to the opposition to the COM

tell you that it sprang from misun-

TO BE NO ARBITRATION

Asserts-Strikers' Leader Thought to
Be at the End of His Resources.

NEW YORK. Aug. 20.-In spite of the
may have to pay from $40 to Sl5 a ton
for anthracite coal this winter. if they
get any at all, it was learned today
that there is not much likelihood of
their having 10 pay much il any more
than the normal price for their winter
supply.
The operators are already laying plans
to meet the great demand for anthra-
cite which is expected TO como when
the mines open again, and they are
ready to put them in operation as
soon az the strike is over
President Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers. they say. has now played his
last card. and presently the miners will
realize that the chance of any change
in the attitude of the operators is
hopeless and will return TO work.
Look for Formal Supply.
Though no one would make any exact
predictions. the consensus OF opinion
among the operators today vas that the
strike will end long enough before the
winter to get the normal supply of an
thraoite into the market
The meeting of operators in the Of
fee of the Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey this afternoon was the largest that
has been held since the strike began.
The eleven coal-earrying railroads in
voIved in the strike and individual op-
orators also were represented. All, it is
understood, were unanimous in agree
ing that. no matter where the pressure
comes from. the operators would con-
sent TO nothing but unconditional sur
render on the part of the miners.
representative of the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western Railroad said
today that in all likelihood President
Baer. of the Philadelphia and Reading
road, will make detailed report of the
situation TO J. P. Morgan within the
next few days.
President Thomas p Fowler, of the
New York, Ontario and Western road.
said todaT to a reporter that the talk
about three months being required TO
put the normal supply of coal in the
market when the strike is over was non
sense. He believed that a month would
be nearer the mark.
No Interference.
Neither Bishop Potter, nor the Civic
Federation, Senators Quay and Penrose
nor Senator Hanna will change the sit
uation," said Mr.. Fowler. The Civic
Federation may make the attempt. but
it will be useless. Mr.. Morgan's ar
rival will not alter the case. / saw

When the Oceanic got to her pier the
Corsair skipped across in front OF her

Visit to the Kaiser.
When Mr.. Widener was asked about
his trip abroad he said that he had
gone on pleasure only, and that he
had nothing to say. MIR. Griscom, who
followed Mr. Morgan abroad In June,
said:
"Mr. Morgan, Mr.. Widener. and
were at the Kiel regatta. The Corsair
was there and the Alvena. too. The
Emperor was there on the imperial
yacht, Hohenzollern. and the way We
happened to enjoy his hospitality was
that ne sent a special invitation 10
us to take luncheon with him aboard
the imperial yacht. We had delight
full time with him. and when he left
he presented each one of lis with
small coat OF arms Of his family.
These are in the shape of pins, and
that is all the basis there is for the
absurd story sent from Kiel that the
Emperor had decorated us.
The Emperor is a man TO study.
There is not a moment that you are
with him that you can get away from
the impression that he is man OF
great ability. He speaks English per
fectly. is a genial host and makes you
feel perfectly at home. Just the same.
you cannot forget for moment, when
you are with him. that he is the boss OF
all the Germans.
Interested in Americans.
The interest of the Emperor in us
Yankees is enormous. He has very high
opinion OF the American people and
keeps close abreast OF our progress.
I'VE spent one day on the Emperor's
American built yacht. Meteor. 1t is a very
fast boat and can say that he is very
much pleased with II. We visited the
palace at Potsdam. but the Emperor was
not there at the time.
From Kiel to Hamburg Mr.. Morgan.
Mr.. Widener and myself Travelled on a
special train as the guests Of Albert
Ballin director general of the Hamburg
American packet line, and not as guests
OF the Emperor. as has been reported.
We went back to Kiel later and from
there TO London. | was called from Lon
don to Paris by the illness OF Mrs.
