congregation of the First Union Pres
byterian church, this city, last night,
at the service, voted on and adopted
a resolution calling upon the coal OPP
orators and miners to end the strike.
and recommending that if unable to
settle the matter to leave it to arbi-
tration.
In his sermon on Christ and the
Religion of the People" the Rev. DR..
George C. Lorimer, pastor of the Mad
ison Avenue Baptist church, discussed
the coal strike. The refusal of the
coal operators to listen to arbitration,
DR.. Lorimer said, would waken the
people to speedy action. The entire
American people, he declared, should
compel the operators to arbitrate,
whatever the cost. In part, he said
the strike situation had grown far
too serious to talk about rights. Du-
ties to the poor man, women and chill
fdren in the coal regions We're far
more important to consider.
The Rev. John Lloyd Lee, of the
Westminster Presbyterian church,
also referred to the coal strike, say
ing in part:
If They Regarded Their Employees
IF those who have large money
power, in connection with the coal
strike, would regard true rights of
those under their control, not only
this, but all similar troubles would
be at an end"
The Rev. Walter e. Bentley, in All
Souls church, talked on the same suS-
ject, and said it was to be regretted
United States to take up the coal war
problem. Such a church, represent
ing the religious sentiments of all the
people, would soon secure settle
ment of the question. Mr.. Bentley
thought President Roosevelt ought to
act
Chicago, Sept 15.-Bishop Samuel
Fallows, who has interested himself in
the conditions of the striking coal
miners in Pennsylvania, left here last
night for Philadelphia His mission
is to investigate the situation in the
anthracite coal fields. Bishop Fal
lows represents the miners relief
committee of one hundred of Chicago,
and to that body he will make report
upon his return.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 15.-Super-
intendent Barnard, of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company
collieries, in the Wyoming region, last
evening notified Sheriff Jacobs that
additional men would be put to work
today at the collieries which resumed
operations last week and that prob
ably one or two more of the mines
would be started up. Superintendent
Barnard feared that the increased ac-
tivity at the mines might cause inter-
ference on the part of outside parties
and he requested the sheriff to fur
nish ample protection for the work
men. Sheriff Jacobs said he did not
expect an outbreak, but would have a
large force of deputies at hand to
send to any place in the region where
trouble occurs.
Mitchell Silent On the Conference.
President Mitchell was still silent
last night on the conference held with
Governor Stone at Harrisburg on Sat
urday. He said last evening that
there was no change in the strike
situation.
