received many dispatches from all parts
OF the country on Saturday commenting

a speech before the Essex Club at Boston
urged government control over the coal

dents for refusing to consider terms and
1t is understood that !. Pierpont Nor
gan, the great captain of industry, was
greatly disappointed that the conference
resulted in nothing. The President will
rest day or tWo and then try another
tactic. 1t is assured that there will be
no special session Of Congress to remove
the duty on coal or pass any laws giving
the President more power in the premises,
but it is hinted in Washington that the
President will ask the miners to return
to work ard ask Congress to investigate
the merits of the strike the coming win
ter.
Mr.. Morgan has ordered $4,000 tons
Of coal from England to relieve any scar
city that may exist in New York this win
ter among the poor people. There is an
export duty OF 20 cents in England and
an import duty here OF 67 cents, so that
foreign coal, which is also of poorer
quality than the Pennsylvania anthra-
cite, will come high.
The coal strike affects 100000 peo-
pie, or about ONT fourth the population
OF the United States.
The scarcity OF coal is beginning to
breed trouble in various cities. In Roch-
ester, N. Y, the poor people are using
planks from The sidewalks and bridges
and in Chicago blocks of wooden paving
are taken every night to be used Tor fuel
In some parts Of the middle west corn
and peat are being USED for fuel and
some of the large manufactures are
changing to soft coal, coke or oil.
President Flynn OF the United Mine
Workers, district OF Alabama, Friday or

and Railway Company at the Blue
Creek and Blockton mines to suspend

will he involved, making the total 1000.

ments for the strikers from the wages of

THE TROOPS ORDERED OUT.
Gov. Stone Of Pennsylvania has or
dered out the entire National Guard OF
Pennsylvania to protect the property OF
the NINE owners and to prevent any at
tacks upon their property or the miners
now getting out the coal. Mr.. Mitchell
has been in consultation with Labor
Commissioner Wright, but nothing can

Mitchell has issued an appeal to the
