Hazleton, Pa, Nay 20.-The visit Of

quarters and his conference with Presi-
dent Mitchell Of the United Minework-.
ers late Saturday night was. the only
incident OF any Importance that claimed
the attention yesterday OF the labor
leaders and others around the Valley
hotel. AS neither Mr.. Easley nor Mr..
Mitchell would say anything. regard
Ing their meeting, there was much spec
ulation as to the object of the visit OF
the secretary OF the Civic Federation.
Mr.. Easley laughed at the stir which
his arrival caused and said there was
rot the slightest significance attached
to his trip here. He reiterated that ne
came here merely to look over the
ground and to keep himself fnfoTmeds
Of the general situation. He denied tafatc
he brought any plan for a settBement
of the strike. Mr.. Easley also .saiHi he.

Grafton and the coal operators, all of
whom have thus far rigidly adhered to,
the policy of absolutely refusing to an.
ticipate any move in connection, with:
the strike, It Is believed here that the.
Federation is quietly preparing to re-
ceive any proposition that might possi-
bly, be offered by either side. This be-
lief ie strengthened by the fact that
only twenty-four hours had elapsed
from the time the conference was hel6

Absolute quiet reigned at the heaf-

his uninterrupted attention to aslarge:
batch Of mail pertaining to the strike
in the anthracite field and to miners
business In bituminous localities. .s The.
strike now enters Upon its second week.
The week just ended was the hrst, a.
is said, in the history of the hard, coaR
trade, that no coal was mined IN any
part of the region. No disturbances OF
any consequence have been reported;
Ianywhere. President Mitchell said that
he could not yet say when the epeciAI'

Of involving the ,bituminous miners IN
the anthracite strike will be held. He
