NO CONCESSIONS
 WILL BE GRANTED
OPERATORS RENEW THEIR STATE MENTS ABOUT REFUSING TO YlELD-MlNERs MUST RETURN TO WORK AT OLD TERMS.

New York, September 16-A conference of the leading anthracite coal interests was held this afternoon at the Philadel- phia and Reading company's office. Those present included President Baer of the Reading road. President Trussdale of the Deleware. Lackawanna and Western, President Fowler of the New York. On tario and Western, President Walters of the Lehigh Valley. President oiphant of the Delaware and Hudso. Irving Stearns of Coxe Brothers & Co.. and John Markie of O. B. Markie & Co. The last two named represented the independent oper- ating interests of the hard coal indus try The precise subject of the confer ence could not be learned, but 1t was stated in advance of the meeting that no concessions will be granted and that re- cent reports of semi-political character would not be seriously considered
 Following a meeting with J. P. Morgan, John MarlAie made this statement.
 'I do not think 1t 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 Mr. Mitchell made his original propositions and no different than when the strike began.
 We said then that we could make no concessions. and we repeat 1t now. There Is no reason why this should not be un- derstoed. The operators have shown that they mean 1t. and I repeat 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 ears to Mitehels spur ious promises, only will entail further loss and suffering to them.s
 John Markle left the meeting and went to J. P. Morgan's office where he met P. 4. B. Widener. The meeting in Pres ident Boer's office concluded at a few minutes before o'clock. President un- derwood of the Erie, as he was leaving said that the meeting had been merely one of the directors of the Temple Iron company, and that only routine matters were considered.

Governors of Colorado and
 Wyoming Appeal for Help
DEPARTMENT TO RESPOND
Government Timber on Boundary Line of Colorado and Wyoming contln- ues to Burn-Residents of
 Section are Exhausted.

Washington. September 16.-secretary Hitchcock today received dispatches from the governors of both Colorado and Wyoming appealing for government as- sistanee In fighting a terrific forest fire that Is raging in government timber lands along the Colorado Wyoming boundary, near the southeast corner of Carbon county, Wyo. The residents of that section, according to Governor Rich= ards of Wyoming, have exhausted both strength and means in fighting the con migration and are appealing for help.
 The interior department officials are looking into the situation and calling for specific information from the field. Every effort will be made to do something to reinforce the resources of the fire fighters but it is not yet known what steps will be taken. It is possible that the war de- partment will be called upon for assist afico though no such request has yet been made. The department has been crippled by the lack of special agents to watch the government lands, including these now involved in the destructive eonflagrations, and has frequently inef- feetually appealed 10 congress to Increase the appropriations for this purpose.

GENERAL sALAzAR EXPLAINS.
Says Temporary Stopping of Trains Is
 Not Obstruction of Traffic.

Panama. Colombia, September 16.- Commanders Potter and Mclean of the United States cruisers Ranger and Gin cinnati respectively. and the acting United States consul here, MT. Eher- mann, had a conference yesterday with General Salazar, commander of the gov ernment forces on the isthmus, which lasted over an hour. The matter of the Interpretation of article 35 of the treaty of 1S46. by which the United States, in view of certain concessions made by Co., lombia. guarantees the neutrality of the isthmus, and that traffic across 1t shall not be interrupted, was taken up in the conference.
 General salazar stated that the instruc- tions issued by him and complained of by Commander Mclean. ordering the government officers to halt trains going across the isthmus to search for insur- gent troops did not authorize American intervention. because they were only measures of policing that did not inte-- rupt traffic and which the government could adopt because of it's sovereignty rigths.

FIRE BEYOND CONTROL.
Towns in Colorado May Experience a
 Shortage of Water.

Denver, Col, September 16.-But little progress toward checking the forest fires in different sections of the state is being made. At the head of Chicago creek the fire Is again beyond control.

Bishop FalIows Visited
Strike Region
And Investigated the Conditions
~ There.

Chicago, Oct. p Bishop Samuel Fal-
lows, has returned from the strike
regions, where he went as an emissary
Of the Miners Relief committee to
investigate conditions.
Though both sides in the, great
strike in the anthracite regions of
Pennsylvania" he said, seem de-
termned to fight 1t out to the end, l
have not lost hope that the miners
and operators eventually will get to-
gether and adjust their differences.
II discovered two sides to the
strike--the condition of the miner, the
novels he lives in, the food he cats,
the work he does, leave no room for
doubt that he should have the 20 per
cent. increase In wages he demands.
The operators say with probable truth
fulness, they cannot pay the miners
more money and work the miners at
n profit.
II believe" continued the bishop,
"the American people would gladly
pay the increased price of coal, II the
operators would grant the miners an
increase in pay"
