p~rasideut Roosevelt Success in the
Coal liners Strike IL sur
prise to Europa.

London, Oct. l9.-English and
French commentators are discussing
in an interesting manner the daring
of the American president in dealing
with the coal miners strike.
"The American president" says a
British commentator. SHOWS sagaci-
ty that amounts to intuition. There
had never been any doubt of his ener-
CIV and courage-and now he has dis
PLAYED wisdom of the highest on
structive order.
Striking as is the immediate serv-
ice rendered by Mr.. Roosevelt to his
co%untrymen, it is in its bearing upon
the worldwide conflict between CAPT.
tai and labor, both formidably organ
lied, that his intervention in the an.
thracite coal strike has it's chief sig
nificance. Again American methods
absolutely new departures-point to
Europe a better way than she had
known"
French comment is equally con
gratulatory. "Mr. Roosevelt ran 6
grave risk" says the Temps. "lf hi
had failed, the humiliation would hav'
been more than personal to himself
or the leaders of his party. The who'll
American people would have been pu
to confusion through their chief mag
istrate. Admirers of the American
governmental system throughout tn
world would have felt, justly or un
justly, that it had failed in a critica
situation.
"The happy solution of a probler
that in one form or another cor
fronts every European administrator
has been found by a man of whol
Europe knew next to nothing fou
years ago"

THE RETREAT EXPLAINED.
why the Venezuelan Revolutionary
ARMY Reiterated From La Victoria.

army
Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Oct.
19.-One of the leaders of the Matos
revolution in Venezuela, who is at
present in Curacao, has furnished the
following details and explanation OF
the retreat of the revolutionary army
from La Victoria. He says the rebels
only abandoned the fight after being
convinced that La Victoria was m
pregnable, and after President castro
had refused to come out and attack
the revolutionists outside of La VIC
toria, Twice did the revolutionary
general attempt to force President
Castro to take the offensive and twice
the president refused.
When the rebels achievements ar
rived at La Victoria, last Thursday,
President Castro and his forces were
located at a point on the German rail-
road. The rebels made a detour OF
the city and cut off the only line or
retreat open to the government
forces. They were then short OF am
munition, and had it not been for the
arrival of a train bringing them half
a million cartridges, it is believed
that Castro's forces would have been
annihilated. Preparations for their
retreat had already been ordered.
The revolutionists stationed near
Caracas. some 1900 men, under the
command of Gen, Ramos, are alone
responsible for the retreat of Gen.
Mendoza; they permitted the tram
carrying ammunition to the govern
ment forces to leave Caracas and
reach La Victoria. This train had an
escort of only 100 men. The men I'M
der Ramos did not attack it, nor did
l they destroy one of the so bridges be-
} tween Caracas and La Victoria over
which the railroad runs.
: An added proof that the govern
I ment suffered terribly in the La VIC
toria fight. from the repeated attacks
> of the rebels, is found from the fact
. that President Castro does not pur'
I sue Gen. Mendoza. The %latter's plan
in withdrawing from La Victoria is tt
o oblige President Castro to abandon
the positions he holds there.
The rebels suffered losses, but thu
e government did also. President Cas-
tro's forces are reduced to 3,1OO men
IL while Gen. Matos still has 5000 1nc1
Il in the field. 1t was not a rout, bu
. a methodical retreat.
y In conclusion the rebel officer sal
y that the re~volutionsts. within a FEY
~ DAYS, would be found near Caracas.

Wilkesbarrp. Pa, Oct. 16.-At $3.50
a. m. President Mitchell issued the
following statement:
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 10, 19o2'-Ap-
preciating the anxiety and lmpatlehce
of the publiQ and the mine workers
for some authoritative statement
from this office. | issue this bulletin
to say that ] was unalterablN opposed
to the acceptance of or acquIeScehce
in the form IF settlement proposed by
the coal operators, because II re-
stricted the president of the United
States in making selection of the men
who are to determine the questions
involved in the coal strike.
These restrictions having been re-
moved and representation given TO
organized labor as well as to organ
lied capital, | am now prepared 10
give my personal approval to Il settle
ment of the issues involved in this
strike by the commission selected by
the president. and shall recommend
to the executive officers of districts
/, 7 and 9 in their meeting to-day that
an immediate call be issued for a con-
vention, whose authorization is neces-
sary to declare the strike at an end.
In the meantime / trust that the
people of our country will be as pa
tient as possible, as we moving as
rapidly as the interests of our people
will permit.
JOHN MITCHELL.
President United Mine Workers of
America.
CLEARED the Situation.
Mr.. Mitchell'g publict statement
cleared the situation considerably. 1t
is now for the miners to act, and not
one person can be found around head
quarters whoisnot of the opinion thai
the district boards will call the con
vention, and that the convention vii
decide to send the men back to worl
Immediately.
A TremendOus Step Forward.
The fact that the greatest confiic
between capital and labor in the his
tory of the world has resulted in ar
bitration is looked upon by student
of economics who are in this regiol
studying conditions, as a tremendon
step forward in the economical prog
ress of the country. The miners fee
they have won a victory, and say tina
even if the award of the commisslo
does not give them all they hav
asked for, it is a good thing for tn
future of the workingman of til
world.
After Mr.. Mitchell issued his stat
ment he held a conference with tt
district presidents and secretaries,
which IL plan to lay the arbitratit
proposition before the full membe

This conference lasted for some tim

organization is effected. President
Mitchell will be elected chairman. and
during the first session in an opening
speech to the delegates, he will lay
the plan of arbitration submitted by
the president of the United States
before them for action. He will rec
ommend that it be accepted and the
men return to work as quickly as the
coal companies a provide work. Ma
tional Secretary w. b. Wilson will be

THE GATHERING DELEGATES
Representatives of the Miners from .no
Anthracite Districts Gather For
the Convention.

WilkeShafre, Pa, yet. IJ'-DeieSo'es
To the anthracite mine workers con-
yention, which will meet in the Mes
bitt theater, this city, at ten o'clock
Monday forenoon, for the purpose OF
a accepting or rejecting the proposition
of the president of the United States
to end the strike and submit all grieV-
ances to the arbitration commission
appointed by him, began arriving here
Sunday, and about one-quarter of the
700 or 500 delegates to the convention
were in the city by night. Strike
headquarters, which had been ex-
tremely quiet since the excitement OF
last week, began to be lively before
noon Sunday. Many of the delegates
are instructed in various features OF
the settlement, but a majority OF
them will follow the advice and Judg-
ment of President Mitchell. There is
nothing on the surface that gives
the slightest indication that the con-
y~ention will not vote to send the men
to work this week. with the proba-
bilities still in favor of Thursday as
The day of resumption. A noticeable
thing among the delegates was their
cheerfulness. 1t was quiet evidence
to the observers tina. they will be
| clad to get together and decide to re-
turn to work after the weary idle
ness of more than five months.
The Only Chance for DiscOrd.
All of the delegates who were spo-
ken to regarding the action of the
convention appeared to have no fear
that a hitch might occur which would
disarrange the present peaceful trend
of affairs. A good many OF the dele
gates say that they have instructions
on certain matters which they will
place before the delegates.
As already stated in these dis
patches the principal question outside
of the great question of accepting or
rejecting President Roosevelt's prop
osition will be that of str1k'
ers getting their old places
A large number of the mer
fear that in the general rush to re
turn to the mines some of them may
fail to get work. They want SOM
assurance from the convention tina
they will be able to get the positions
they occupied before the suspension
/ was ordered. 1t is likely this elemen
from the three districts will JOIN
forces and make a concerted fight o.
the floor of the convention for som
specific action. In the face of tn
fact that the operators are on rec
ord that they will not dismiss on
man who stood by them during tn
struggle, it is going to be a seriou
problem to solve. The debate, it
believed, will take up a great deal @
), the time of the convention, which
q expected to last not more than tw
days.
