SARGENT SEES PRESIDENT,
Believed He Was Consulted About
 Coal Strike.

Washington, Oct. 6.-There was only one development of importance in the coal strike situation today. Frank F. Sar- gent, Commissioner of Immigration and for many years chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen, had long inter view with President Roosevelt today and left Washington very soon afterward.
 MT. Sargent indicated that the inter view concerned the coal strike but ne would not discuss the matter. From the fact that he has always been influential with labor organizations it is generally believed that he is intrusted with a mes sage to President Mitchell oI the Miners Union. It is also said that MT. Sar- pent is to meet MT. Mitchell in Philadel- phia and deliver the message of the Presi- dent. urging that the miners end the strike in the interest of the public.
 While many propositions have been under discussion it is almost certain that inc administration is taking up only one plan at a time. The Presidents plan Is that Outlined in the Associated Press dis

The operators have claimed all along that 1t would break the strike by inducing to re- turn to the mine sthonsands of men whom they claim are only deterred now from doing so by fear of violence. The strike leaders have been saying the call ing out of the Third Brigade has no tendency to break the strike, but on the other hand that it has had the effect of deterring men from returning to work.

Effect ,n L. 6 N. Dividends.

- New York, Oct. 6-(Special. )-The Wall Street Jour nal says this evening:
 The stat ement that the Atlantic Coast Line will cave unchanged the dividend rate of Louisville and Nashville is taken with a grain of salt by many people in the streets&s The argument that the At lantic Coast Line will gain through in- creased traffic more than it will lose through failure of dividend returns from Louisville to meet annual expenditures on securities invested Is admitted to be just, but 1t is pointed out that there is an easy and legitimate way to save the $500, 900 or so additional per annum. It is also remarked that the aggressive atti- tude of the Seaboard will prevent the full utilization of Louisville traffic for the benefit of the Atlantic Coast Line.
 The point is clearly brought out by study of the terms of the purchase of control by the Atlantic Coast Line. Cal culating interest at per cent. fair estimate for the value of treasury cash to a railroad, the annual outlay of the Atlantic Coast Line for the control is as follows: Interest on bonds at per cent, S1, ,4OO 900; loss of interest in cash at per cent, $4OO 00O dividend on stock at 5 per cent, $25O,0OO; total expenditure, $2,050, 900. In return for this outlay, the Atlantic Coast Line will receive the per cent d. yidend on 306, 900 shares of Louisville, or 31, ,630 000 There will, therefore, be a net logs per annum of $52O.oOO on the invest ment.
 With Louisville earning well over 12 per cent. and control held by the Atlantic Coast Line, it would be obviously easy to increase the dividend on Louisville to per cent. In that case, the Atlantic Coast Line would make S2.142.00o in dividend, netting a profit of $s2,OOo on the invest ment."

MAY FIGHT FOR TRAFFIC
Coast Line Might Not Have
 Clear Field.
Discrimination Against the Seaboard Might Be Followed by Acquisi- ton of Feeders by That Com
 pany to the Westward.

New York, Oct. 6-(Special.) )-The Wall Street Journal says this evening:
 "A good deal of speculation is heard in the streets as to the position that the Seaboard Air Line will occupy with re- spect to the merged roads under control of the Atlantic Coast Line.
 President Williams's pronunciamento as to the result in case the amicable relation vile and the Seaboard were severed, hand. It is intimated that the interests in control of the Seaboard are both able and willing to enter the Southern fields against any competitor. and that any discrimination against the Seaboard on the part of the two lines of the South would compel the Seaboard to acquire its own feeders westward. On the other hand. there nay be difficulty in keeping the Seaboard Air Line satisfied even though the Atlantic Coast Line should be content not to monopolize the traffic of the other roads.
 This connection between the Atlantic Coast Line, Southern and Central of Georgia is definite and tangible. The re- lationship bet ween the Sesboard and the other roads Is matter of convenience only. The Seaboard holds a share of the traffic of the roads because it has given them return traffic. It may be taken as certain that the Atlantic Coast Line will strain a point to keep the Seaboard satisfied. but 1t may be questioned how long 1t Is eoing to divide the traffic of its controllt roads with an active com petitor like the Seaboard.
