NO CONCESSIONS
DECLARES MARKLB
Leading Coal Operators Con-
fer in New York
Their Position the Same As When the
Strike Began Conditions In
proving Daily ssssss s.sss,s
A ~

New York Sept ia conference
of the leading anthracite coal inter
ests was held yesterday afternoon at
the Philadelphia and Reading Com
pany's Offices. Those present included
President Baer, OF the Reading road;
President Truesdale OF the Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western; President
Fowler, of the New York, Ontario and
Western; President Walters, OF the
Lehigh Valley; President Olyphant. Of
the Delaware and Hudson; Irving
Stearns. of Coke Brothers & Co. and
John Markle, Of G. B. Markle 6 Co.
The two last named represented the
independent operating interests in the
hard coal industry
The precise subjects Of the confer
ence could not be learned, but il was
stated in advance of the meeting that
no concessions would be granted. and
that recent events of a semi-political
character would not be seriously con-
sidered.
Following a meeting with j. p Nor
bdHf dOHn ldihii Audut lllr nldit'
ment: 81 do not think is necessary to
repeat that all talk Of concessions on
the part OF the operators is foolish
and certainly without foundation Our
position now Is the same as when
Mitchell made his original PROPOSE
tions, and no different than when the
strike began. We said then that We
would make no concessions, and We
repeat it now. There is no reason
why this should not be understood
The operators have shown that they
mean it. and I repeat it only by way
OF emphasis.
"There is just one way to end the
strike-by the men returning to work
and every day they remain away by
giving willing ear to Mitchells spe
cious promises will only entail further
loss and suffering to them. Conditions
are improving daily more men are
returning to work. and more coal Is
being mined
$50 far as recent attempts at settle
ment are concerned. it is only neces
sary to add that every effort, from
Senator Hanna's down. has been fu
tile. We have defined our position
and will maintain it."

An OVRRWOUKRD PHRASE
The Expression lie Took His Life in His
Hands"

"The expression he took his life IN
his hands always struck me as being
very foolish, said o bright young gen
tleman, "and / have often wondered
why SO many persons persist In using
It when they want TO speak Of cxtraor-
dlnary dangers. Now, extraordinary
danger is one thing and the simple,
commonplace thing Of. taking ones own
life I'm ones hands Is an entirely differ
ent thing.
Il work in a big building. There are
a steam engine and mammoth boiler
I'm the basement Whenever l enter
that building, If they are running the
engine in the basement, take my life
in my hands. | get on the elevator on
the nth door; take my life In my
hands. go out Of town; the car
may tumble over a trestle somewhere.
l walk along the street; a sign may
fall ON me- make my way across the

a street car or a vehicle Of some sort
may not run me down? ! cross the riv-
cr; may | not suddenly find myself In

It just shows the difference between

and the matter Of confronting extraor-
dlnary danger. These risks are ordi-
nary plain. old. everyday risks The

who grabs the bride OF a runaway

HoYT's JOKE ON M'KEE.

How the Playwright Had "A Dit of
Fun Win fis Mnnager.
on one occasion Manager Mckee
was Watching a performance from a
box. where he was seated with some
friends
During the first act an usher came
to him with the information that
gentleman was waiting at the door to
see him on most important business.
"Tell him l can't come out-l'm very
busy" was the answer
The usher returned in n moment TO
say that the man insisted on seeing
Mr.. Mckee, who again sent out word
that It was Impossible to see him.
The man outside then sent In the
lmessage that he was an author and
had a play that he wished Mckee to
read Immediately.
This lncensod the manager. who said
to the usher.
"Tel that fool out there that this is
no time TO bring a play to be read.
Get him out OF the place-I won't see
him. / WON'T read his play"
A few minutes later the usher came
back and Informed Mckee that the
man utterly refused to go without see
ing him, and that he must be granted
an interview. also that he was quite
sure that the manager would not only
read his play. but he would also pro-
duce 1t. and added that he would bet
81, 600 that Hoyt & Mckee would be
only too glad to get the play.
At that Mckee became furlously
angry, and, excusihg himself to his
party, left the box with the intention
of personally inviting the persistent
author to begone.
where's that idiot who insists on
seeing me?' he asked OF the treasurer
ut the box office. Then the treasurer
pointed to n man standing In the shad-
ow with a roll Of manuscript under
his arm.
1t was Hoyt with his newly finished
play, which he handed to Mckee, whC

DeVtry'S Spectacular Campaign, Proved a
success

New York Sept. II. Fl Republican
and Democratic primaries were held
IN the various assembly districts in
the boroughs Of Manhattan and the
Bronx yesterday. Interest in the out
come of the voting was keener than
has been apparent for some years, in
asmuch as there were very many dis
tricts in which there we're contests for
the district leaderships. This was
notably true in the Ninth Assembly
district, where William S. Deyery, ex-
deputy commissioners Of police, had for
weeks conducted a picturesque cam
paign as a candidate for the Tammany
leadership against Frank ]. Goodwin.
Tammany leader, and John c. Shee-
han, leader of the greater New York
Democracy. Devery's campaign was
successful. The vote cast was as fol-
lows: Devery 1854; Goodwin, 729;
Sheehan, 1919
After Devery learned that he was
elected he organized about 1000 men
and boys into a parade and headed
by the big Chief" and fife and drum
corps they marched through the dis
trict amid the shouts and applause of
the people who lined the Streets
stoops and windows. The parade
lasted for half an hour, for it was fire.
quently interrupted by groups of men,
women and children, who broke
through the crowds to shake Deverys
hand. o..
Among the Republicans there were
few contests and all were of a more
