INTERFERENCE IN THE STRIKE

Washington, Oct. 1.-The president
what, if anything, could be done by
federal authority to settle the coal
strike. The result was general ex-
preston of opinion by the advisers of
the president who were present to the
effect that the federal laws and con-
stitution didn't afford means of federal
interference to end the strike A con-
ference was held with three cabinet
officers, Attorney General Knox, Sec
~etary Moody and Postmaster General
Payne.
President Roosevelt is deeply con-
cerned over the situation which, he
thinks, should receive the attention of
the administration if there is anything
which can be done by the government.
During the conference every phase
of the situation was discussed. The
general opinion of the advisers was
that the situation did not present
case in which there could be federal
interference by any warrant of law.
The question of the right to seek
appointment of receivers for the mines
in order that they might be operated
was discussed, but neither in the COR
stitution nor in any known law could
any legal warrant be found for such
Nction.
During the day advices were received
that the strike might be settled by the
operators and the miners themselves,
and it was suggested that hasty inter-
ferences of any kind by the federal
government might prevent the con-
summation of plans for strike settle
ment, if any were maturing While
recognizing the futility of efforts to
end the strike that could accomplish
nothing, it was stated that the presi-
dent was anxious that the end of the
strike should be brought at the earliest
possible moment, and if the attorney
general or any member of the cabinet
could devise method by which the
president could proceed he would not
hesitate to accept it, unless meanwhile
assurances of settlement were re-
ceiyed.

PRESIDENT MITCHELL
VIII Continue the Contest and Thinks He
Will Win.

Washington, Oct. 6.-President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers,
read statement for himself and the
three district presidents who were with
him. He proposed that the issues be
referred to the president and tribunal
of his selection, pledging the mine
workers to abide by its terms He
said:
Before doing so Mr.. President we
desire to say that we are not prompted
to suggest this course because of
any doubts of the justice of our claims.
In deferring to your wishes we are
prompted by no fear on our part of our
ability to continue the contest to a
successful issue. Thanks to the gen.
erous assistance rendered us by our
fellow workers in this and otherla lands;
thanSs to justice-loving American
public whose sympathies are always
on the side of right, we are able to
continue the struggle indefinitely"

PRESIDENTS PLAN FAILS.
Operators Demand Federal Troops
To Protect Miners.
CONFERENCE RETARDS PEACE.

Washington, Oct 6.-The great coal
conference between the president and
the representatives of the opera tors
| and miners came to an end with a
failure to reach an agreement
The president had urged the con-
tending parties to cease strife in the
interests of public welfare. The
miners, through the president of their
union, had expressed willingness to
submit the differences to arbitration
of tribunal to be named by the presi-
dent and to enter into an agreement
to abide by the terms fixed by the
arbitrators for period of from one to
five years The employ ers, through the
presidents of the railroad and coal
companies and leading independent
mine operator, had squarely refused
arbitration, had denounced the miners
labor organization as a lawless and
anarchistic body, with which they
could and would have no dealings
They demanded federal troops to en-
sure complete protection to workers
and their families in the mining region
and court proceedings against the
miners union and had offered, if the
men returned to work, to submit
grievances at individual colleries to
the decision of the judges of the court
of common pleas for the district of
Pennsylvania in which the colliery was
located.
Several of the employers declared the
interference of the president had re-
suited in retarding rather than for
warding the settlement. They assert
ed that no progress had been made
and said they would return to con-
tinue the contest. They declared the
situation was most serious as to coal
supply, but said that the coal would
be furnished to the public and that if
given protection they could get men
to mine coal to at least 70 per cent of
the mines capacity. They declared
there would be no compromise and
that the strike would continue until
the miners succumb. They asserted
their determination to make no con-
cessions further than the offers already
made.

Nursing Anarchy.

Washington, Oct. 6.-President
Truesdale of the Lackawanna, in his
statement said: "One-sixth of the men,
bership of this illegal organization is

tween the ages of IA and 20. They

anarchistic, distorted, wicked views
that anyone can possibly conceive of;
all through the teachings and practices
of the officers, organizers and apostles
of the United Mineworkers association. !"

Baer Gets Arrogant.

Washington, Oct. 6.-President Baer
said this to the president: "The duty
of the hour is, not to waste time nego-
tiating with the fomenters of this
anarchy and insolent defiance of law,
but to restore the majesty of the law,
the only guardian of free people, and
to re-establish order and peace at any
cost The government is a failure if
it can only protect the lives and prop
erty and secure the comfort of the
people by compromising with the vio-
lators Of the law.

PE-RU-NA NECESSARY TO THE HOME.
ALeuer from Congressman White, Of North Carolina.
PE-RU-NA Is A HOUSEHOLD
SAFEGUARD.
No Family Should Be Without 1t.

nERUNA is a great family medicine.
The women praise ita well as the
men; it is just the thing for the
many little catarrhal ailments of child
hood.
The following testimonials from
thankful men and women tell in direct,
sincere language what their success has
been in the use of Peruna in their fam
lilies:
Louis j. Scherrinsky, 103 Locust
street, Atlantic, Iowa, writes:
81 will tell you briefly what Peruna
has done for me. l took a severe cold
which gave me hard cough. All doc
tors medicines failed to cure it. l took
one bottle of Peruna and was well.
"Then my two children had bad
coughs accompanied by gagging. My
wife had stomach trouble for years.
She took Peruna and now she is well.
II cannot express my thanks in words,
but ! recommend your remedy at every
opportunity, for l can conscientiously
say that there is no medicine like Peru
ma Nearly everyone in this town knew
about the sickness of myself and fam
lily, and they have seen with astonish-
ment what Peruna has done for u.s.
Many followed our example, and the
result was health. Thanking you
heartily, 1 AMI. J. Sherrinsky.
Mrs. Mamie Wallace, Tulare, Cal,
President of the Western Baptist Mis-
sionary Society, writes:
~ consider Peruna an indispensable
article in my medicine chest. 1t is
twenty medicines in one, and has so far
cured every sickness that has been in
my home for five years. Iconsider it OF
special value to weakly women, as it
builds up the general health, drives out
disease and keeps you in the best of
health. Mrs. Mamie Wallace.
Peruna protects the family against
coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, ca
tarrh of the stomach, liver and kidneys.
1t is just as sure to cure case of catarrh
of the bowels as it is case of catarrh
of the head.

An English Union President.

London, Oct. Gin connection with
large American orders for coal the
president of the Miners National
Union, Mr.. Burt, M. P, in circular
to the Northumberland miners refers
to the coal strike in the U. 5. thus
Apparently the strike of 100000
miners is coming to an unsatisfactory
ending because the men are returning
to work in small patches, probably
starved into acceptance of employers
terms. They were the poorest and
lowest paid laborers in United States. :"

AT MERCY OF WAVES
CREW OF THE MARTS HAVE
 TERRIBLE TIME.
For Thirty-six Hours Seamen Were Lashed to the After Cabin of Their Dismantled Vessel.

The vessel made water so fast that she could not be freed. At { o'clock Sat urday the sea carried away the deck load and took away all sails. About o'clock she struck Hatteras outer shoals, her mests went and soon the vessel began going to pieces. Captain Holloway aud the crew sought safety on the after house. the highest place they could get, and there lashed themselves. For thirty six hours they were without food or wa ter.
 The schooner Arthur McArdle was sight ed and signalled at l2 o'clock Monday. Captain Sheppard sent boats to the ship wrecked crew and they were landed aboard his vessel.
