UNION VETERANS OBJECT.
Not in Sympathy With Judge Tor
RANGES Plan to Aid confederates.

Washington, Sept. 1O-The first pup
lie intimation of an organized ef1orl 10
Illustrate Judge Torrance's plan Tor Sc
curing aid from union veterans III
building cottage homes for confederates
came to light yesterday in published
interview with Gen. Robert G. Dyren-
forth of this city, commander-in-chief
of the Union Veterans Union, very
strong body of old soldiers with
branches In all parts of the country,
The Torrance proposition has been dis
cussed very generally among veterans
of this city, and sentiment as it crystal
Lies is seen to be divided. The conser-
vative element of the G. A. r. stand
stubbornly in opposition to it. The I'm
ion Veterans Union is largely polltl-
cal body, organized for securing the
spoils of office, and it includes most of
the, ultra radical old soldier elements.
1t opposes the Torrance plan, and Gen.
Dyrenforth says the first duty of union
men. if they have spare means. is to-
wards their own feeble and impoverish-
ed comrades. The interview is couched
in narrow, bitter and partizan Ian
guage. Gen. Dyrenforth fails utterly to
comprehend the high level to which
famous circular letter. I quote char
acteristic paragraph:
II regard the suggestion as vicious.
There is spirit of disloyalty to the old
union preserver in some instances in
| the land and it would be sad and shock
ing to see this spirit extending among
the veterans toward each other, where
| by one would give for an institution ex-
listing by reason of an attempt to ruin
our fair land ere he would seek to ex-
tend necessary aid to a comrade.
II do not wish to be misunderstood.
So far as l know there is not a union
veteran who has any feeling of anmos-
| ity toward any man who ever as SOL
| der or as a civilian endeavored to sup
port the so-called southern confedera-
| cy. l have many warm friends who
We're rebels. but it is not as rebels that
they are now my friends. AS rebels,
they had to be pardoned, and pardon
| implies contrition. I can see no contrib
ton where they form bodies to foster
the cause of their wrong doing and still

wrong today as it was in 1861. think
the Union veterans had better give at
tention to securing enforcement of the
constitution, to caring for one another
and to getting proper recognition. We
do not want any premium put upon re-
| bellion.'
| The Union Veterans Union will hold
it's annual meeting in this city during
the G. A. r. meeting and its members
may be depended upon to oppose the
Torrance proposition vigorously.

MORGAN D GIVE AID
The Great Financier to Exercise
Influence to Settle Miners
Strike.
Probable That He Will Confer
With Mitchell of the Mine
Workers.
Announcement Is Made After
Meeting With Widener and
Governor Stone.

New York. Sept. 10.-For the good of
the great properties involved and in the
interest of the public welfare it was
announced on authority yesterday that
j. Pierpont Morgan has decided to use
his good offices to the best of his ability
to bring about a means for ending the
great coal strike.
This announcement was made at the
conclusion Of conference, in which
Governor Stone of Pennsylvania, At
torney General Elliin of the state state
and p. A. B. Widener took part, and
during which Mr.. Widener met and
talked briefly with Mr.. Morgan.
Just what step will be taken in the
matter was not learned, but it was inti-
mated in certain quarters that Mr..
Morgan and President Mitchell, of the
miners, might meet as the first move
in the important negotiations. The
leader of the strikers said he would be
glad to meet Mr.. Morgan or any one
representing him in the interests OF
peace.

DEVELOPMENTS and the evident change
of opinion on the part of Mr. Morgan
1T was said that the heads of the coal
roads, instead of being pleased at the
prospect of Mr.. Morgans mediation.
rave intimated that they would resign
their positions rather than be thwarted
in their expressed determination TO
carry the fight to the bitter end.
Mr. Morgans willingness to use his
good offices, to the extent OF his AFFINITY.
to end the strike was made public in an
Gral statement from an authoritative
representative. The terms of this COM
munication We're not made puplc.
After Mr. Morgan had seen statement
written by Governor Stone, OF Penn
sylvania, one who stands very close TO
the f1nancier said:
"Underneath the governors state
ment you may write that Mr.. Morgan
is willing to do all he can in the inter-
est of the public welfare and for the
good Of the great properties involved TO
end this ruinous strike. Just how this
may now be accomplished remains 10
be seen, but it is obvious that conces-
sions must be made by both sides IN or
der to break the present deadlock ana
arrive at an amicable understanding.
President Baer, OF the Philadelphia a
Reading, and other heads OF the leadlns
coal corporations are on record as nav
ing announced that they will brook IN
reference from no quarter and Will not
submit anything to arbitration. Ihere
was no evidence yesterday that any OF
them had experienced change OF

Sturgeon, living near here, was given
terrific whipping with hickory switches

the same treatment. The husband
begged for mercy and was released.
Notices were also left at the door
