Great Pinaneier or Settlement by Arbitration.

Wilkesbarre, Pa Especial Accord
ing to President John Mitchell, who just
returned here from Chicago, there is no
foundation for reports that he is to see
J. p. Morgan in an effort to have the
coal strike settled by the Intervention
OF the great 6nancier. nor does he know
of any effort to settled it either by arbi-
tration or any other means OF that
nature. He was asked:
do you intend TO go to see Mr..
Morgan in New York or elscwhere?"
mo, do not know that l shall go
to see him." he reolied in the manner
of one qualifying his direct No by
thought that If Mr.. Morgan sent for
him he might reconsider it. He did not
say this, however, and would not dis
cuss possibilities.
Have arrangements been made or are
any under way for committee to see
him ?"
Il know of none" he replied.
There has been much talk of arbi
tration since you were away. Is there
any plan for accomplishing it"
-NO Pldi VI dily SILL lCka4 ulllS NLLNll
am aware"
When asked If he would go to see
Senator Quay or Penrose and discuss a
plan OF arbitration with them he said I:
Il do not see why | should do So.
do not not know what has been pro-
posed to them or what they are doing.
know of no plan for the settlement
of the strike, and there is nothing to
indicate that there will be an early re
sumption of work"
He was shown the statement Of Presi-
dent Fowler, of the New York, Ontario
and Western Railroad, that he had gone
West to see if he could not arrange
with the soft coal operators to deduct
the strike assessment from the wages
of the men and failed, and that all the
strike fund collected from soft-coal
workers was S34 Mr. Mitchell de-.
cfared this absurd in every particular.
~The miners" he said, are just as
firm now as the first day they went on

too, that we are going to WIN.
