Petition Asks Equity Court to
Restrain General Dyrenforth
FROM Enforcing His Order Sus-

The petition of John F Meacham,
commander of the Division of the Po-
tomac, Union Veterans Union, to enjoin
Robert St. George Dyrenforth. con
mander-fn-ehief of the Union veterans
Union. from enforcing his order sus-
/ pending the former from Office, was ar

nard. sitting in Equity Court 70.
When the petition was flied. on
! Wednesday last, Justice Barnard issued
/ a temporary restraining order. which
was made returneble on Friday. BY
/ agreement between the parties. how
ever. the matter was called up today.
General Dyrenforth's Answer
/ In his answer. filed by Attorney A. 4
/ HoeIing. General Dyrenforth says:
! The conduct of the complainant IN
/ precipitating this litigation right at this
time. on the eve Of the national en-
campment and at the place of the en-
campment. and in obtaining restrain
/ ing order against the commander-in-
chief of the order. thereby creating
strife. turmoil. and uncertainty, stamps
Itself as showing the complainant TO be
utterly lacking in all true or real con
siderations for the good and welfare Of
the order.
His conduct is for the evident pur-
pose Of vexing. hsrassing. ard annoy
ing General Dyrenforth; it grows our
of q veRdictfve spirit. and doubtless has
for its object the accomplishing Of
sonnet hing in a political way at the
coming encampment. and to further
which purpose the court and its pro
cess are attempted TO be abused.
The answer further states: 'Gener-
al Dyreuforth having been quite III

This faction seemed to oppose any
thing and everything undertaken by the
division commander, and therefore as
the commander-in-chief could not agree
with their attempting to oppose and OBJ

petty annoyance they could. it was de-
termined by a great majority of the
members to leave Hancock Regiment

To Act on Coal Strike

WILkESBARRE, Pa, Oct g.
John Mitchell. president of the Mine
Workers Union, mysteriously disap-
peared from the city this morning.
No one an tell where he has gone.
but it is generally believed here that
he has been summoned to Washing
ton for q further conference with
the President.
The general situation Of the south
ern anthracite field Is unchanged.
The effort of the President to bring
the strike 20 an end has stffened up
the men, and they are now standing
together more solidly than they
have at any time since the strike
began.

Other Powerful Interests
Have Been Called Upon
to Effect a Speedy Re-
sumption of Work at the
Mines.
Confidence Is Buoyedin the
Belief That Secret Confer
ence Held at the White
House Has Much Signifi-
canoe.

President Roosevelt is continuing his
eTorts to bring the coal strike TO an
end.
He has enlisted the sympathetic CO
operation of powerful interests and it
is his hope and belief that the result
will be that the miners viii resume
their work before many days Jpon
what foundation the confidence is being
based has not yet been ascertained. The
negotiations are being conducted with
the utmost secrecy and the details are
carefully withheld so that premature
discussion may not produce obstacles
A number Of kilograms were sent from
the White House yesterday after the
adjournment of the conference between
the President, Secretaries Root and
Moody. Attorney General Knox, Post
master General Payne, and Commits
sioner of Labor Wright II anything
definite develops Of favorable CHAR
acter it will be at once made public, out
Tor the present all concerned are di-
rected by the President himself TO keep
mum.
Pierpont Morgan Called Upon
II is rumored that one Of the men
whom the President has interested in
the matter is J. Pierpont Morgan. 4
story is published from Omaha today
declaring that John Brisbane Walker,
editor OF the Cosmopolitan, had Sc
cured from John Mitchell his consent 10
place the adjustment OF the differences
between the miners and the operators
IL the hands OF Mr. Morgan, and that
Mr.. Morgan. while disclafmiDg all au-
thority over the. railroads concerned
had agreed 10 undertake the matter
II the story is true and Mr. Mitchell
has enough confidence IN Mr. Morgan's
good faith and impaTtiality 10 leave the
decision to him, it offers the most
speedy means OF settling the strike yet
suggested
progressed so far as indicated in the
Omaha story, there is no doubt that
pressure Of all kinds is being brought
to bear OF the coal operators. as well as
upon the miners.
Humanity and Patriotism
One OF Jhe suggestions that have been
made is that the President request Mr
Mitchell 70 send his men back TO work
for the sake Of patriotism and human
i1y. with the understanding that the
President viii urge Congress when It
assemblies to make full investigation
Of the miners claims and adopt Iegisla-

The fact that the idea Of asking such
a sacrifice from the miners has received
serious consideration shows the extrem-
tiles TO which the President is reduced
in finding remedies 10 meet ...e case
To ask them TO go hack TO work nov
on the mere promise % the President
TO try and do something for their bene-
ft, is to ask them TO ssve up all for
which they have been eontend:ng during
the last FIVE months without any sub
sJantiaI return actually IN sight. Mr..
Mitchell may be persuaded by the Pres
ident TO lay the proposition before
committee Of the miners, but it is sure
to provoke an acrimonious discussion
and the chances Of its acceptance are
slight
No Federal Intervention.
The President realizes that there is no
way for Federal Intervention except bv
the exercise Of moral suasion. It is
therefore believed that he is endeavor-
ing. with the assistance of the powerfuI
influences hinted at. 10 provide a modus
vivendi which will enable work 10 be re
sumed at once and which will also give
the miners some substantial benefits
Immediately without asking them 20
wait for Congressional action. Such
plan would require concessions from
both sides and it is to secure them that
the President is now working with hopes
Of success. If an arrangement OF this
kind can be made 1t would at. least per
nit the mining of coal during the winter
and relieve existing distress.
Governor Stone Expected.
Governor Stone Of Pennsylvania is ex-
pected 10 visit Washington during the
