PLANS TO SETTLE STRIKE.

A dispatch from Omaha, Neb. : says
that John Brisbane Walker, of the
"Cosmopolitan," yesterday at Omaha
filed telegram to President Roosevelt
containing a proposition for the settle
ment of the coal strike, which, he de-
clares, meets the approval of both j. +.
Morgan and John Mitchell, and is the
result of many days spent by Mr.. Walk
err in investigating the strike conditions
and in consulting with both the opera
tors and the miners. The proposition is
that the miners place their case in the
hands of Mr.. Morgan himself. In part,
the telegram said:
"Ahairs are in such shape that there
seems to be no immediate way out of the
coal strike difficulty except one-the
placing of the matter by Mr.. Mitchell
and his associates in the hands of j.
Pierpont Morgan"
After going into details of meeting
Mr. Mitchell, Mr.. Morgan, Mr.. Perkins,
and Others, the dispatch tells of meet
ing with Mr.. Morgan, in which che
held in his hand paper in which he
agreed, while disclaiming all authority
over the railroads concerned, to under
take personally to bring about a salts
factory adjustment if the matter was
placed in his hands-to endeavor to find
such terms that both miners and opera
tors would be likely to preserve friendly
relations. The formation of COM
mission was discussed, with Mr.. Steele,
George w. Perkins, Mr.. Mitchell, my
self, and Archbishop Ireland were the
names proposed Mitchell expressed
himself as having absolute confidence in
Mr.. Morgan's good faith and as being
willing, if his associates agreed, to place
the matter in Mr.. Morgan's hands.
In conclusion the telegram said: ''Be-
cause of this knowledge of the situation
venture at this critical time, Mr..
President, when other means seem to
have failed, to respectfully suggest that
a way out of the harrassing and danger
our situation may be found in the direc-
ton here indicated. If through your
generous intervention, Mr.. Mitchell
should place his cause unreseryed in the
hands of Mr.. Morgan, it would be trust
of the highest character which | am sure
YOU will feel in common with the public
would be worthily administered"
No official information is obtainable
regarding the next move of the admins
tration to settle the coal strike and thus
prevent national disaster due to fuel
famine. The Cabinet conference yes
terday was enveloped in the greatest
secrecy. Absolutely nothing was given
out bv the President or his advisers.
There is good reason to believe, how
ever that an appeal to the strikers,
through President Mitchell, is contem-
plated, and that this appeal, coming
from the President of the United States
and based upon the urgent needs of the
general public, will be promptly needed.
Mr.. Mitchell, it is believed, will, through
sense of patriotic duty, advise the I'M
mediate resumption of work. Should
this appeal be issued, it will be made
public, and viii promise . the miners,
through State and Congressional action,
a thorough investigation of the mining
situation, with as full guarantee as it
is possible to give that redress will be
found for all just grievances.

More Strikes.

Chicago, Oct. g. Organized labor of
Chicago has banded itself into one great
body to aid the striking miners of Penn
sylvania. 1t is the intention of this body
to raise sl5, 900 week and to send the
miners as much clothing and food as
possible.
With strike ordered, the railway ex-
press drivers and conductors were halted
in their course last night by officials of
the National Transfers Union who fear
ed to force the business interests of
Chicago into struggle that threatened
to surpass that between the freight
handlers and railroads. More attempts
to secure a settlement will be made
Paterson, Oct. Cone thousand men
of the Rogers Locomotive Works went
on strike this morning for Saturday
half holiday. The men were informed
that if they did not come in the works
would be shut down. The strike was
settled after a conference between dele
CATION of workmen and Superintendent
Wells, who stated that if the men in
sisted on their demands they would close
the works down.

IT Is reported that Mr.. Grover Cleve-
land may stump the State of New York
for Mr.. Bird S. Coler, the democratic
nominee for governor. If he does,
which is extremely doubtful, it will be
the first time he has essayed to actively
assist the democratic party since he was
President and unless he is personally
interested in the election of Mr. Coler
or the defeat of Mr.. Odell, he can be
relied upon to remain at home during
the campaign, for his closest friends all
admit that he is the most selfish poll
ticians this country ever developed.

IT Is given out in Washington that
it is possible that President Roosevelt
and Gov. Stone of Pennsylvania may
have consultation within day or two
concerning the coal situation. The
President has turned continually to Az
torney General Knox and Secretary
Root for legal opinions, and they have
not been backward in expressing to him
their firm conviction that it is the duty
of Gov. Stone alone to do something to
relieve the situation. This ''do some
thing means nothing more nor less than
for Gov. Stone to maintain order and pro-
tect property in the coal regions, but the
governor, who is a practical politician,
knows full we'll that should he really at
tempt to dc either he would lose votes
for the republican party in his State, and
this question with him is paramount

SENATOR MARTIN opened the can

SENATOR MARTIN opened the cam
paign at Front Royal on Saturday night
and made a telling speech for the
democracy His speech was confined to
a review of the subjects recently discuss
ed by President Roosevelt on his tour
through the country, more particularly,
however, the question of trusts. Sena-
tor Martin pointed out that the President
had, in the face of the declaration OF
Mr. Hanna that there were no trusts,
admitted that there were trusts, but said
that there we're 'ssome good and some
bad" He took up the question OF
the remedies proposed by Mr.. Roosevelt
for the trust evil; namely, publicity and
constitutional amendment, and stated
that when the bill for permanent CEN
sus or bureau of statistics was pending
in the Senate, Senator Dubois offered an
amendment to that bill which required
reports from all of the trusts, and which
would have given complete publicity to
their organization and all of their
transactions. No republican voted for
the amendment, while it was advocated
and voted for by every democrat. Sena-
tor Martin also pointed out that the
remedy for constitutional amendment
was impracticable, because it had been
discussed in Congress and had been de-
feated. He held that taxation would
prove a most effective remedy and
thoroughly curb them, and illustrated
the impossibility of getting any relief ON
that line from the republican party, by
referring to the proposed Cuban reel
procity legislation, which was presented
as measure of the President and his
party. and which when so amended in
the House as to touch the trusts, by re-
pealing the difIerential duty on sugar, was
at once abandoned by the republican
committee on finance. He further
stated that the democrats were perfectly
willing to give reciprocity to Cuba, but
were opposed to giving further aid to
the sugar trust, and that the republican
party had showed its inconsistency by
refusing to give to the Cubans any relief,
unless accompanied by perpetual bounty
to the sugar trust. He characterized
the Presidents proposition to have a
committee TO consider the revision of
the tariff as lawyers motion for con-
tinuance, he being manifestly unwilling
for his party to deal with the subject.
The Senator has a thorough knowledge
of the inconsistencies of the republican
party and made them plainly apparent
in his speech, while at the same time his
audience was convinced that Virginia
had in the speaker a representative in
the Senate in every way fitted to cope
with the various questions which are
now the paramount issues of the day.

THE prevailing troubles in the coal
fields of Pennsylvania afforded topics for
discourses in many pulpits throughout
the country yesterday. Rev. Donald c.
Mcleod of the First Presbyterian
Church IN Washington, said, among Other
things, that the present condition is the
natural outcome of the nation, in the
midst of its unexampled prosperity re-
fusing to recognize this prosperity as
coming from the hand of God, and fail
ing to bring back a 1.-THE of this prosper
ity to the storehouse of God Too little,
he said, had been given out of the
nations prosperity for the extension OF
the gospel to the great tolling masses OF
society and for the attainment of a
sensitive, vigorous national conscience.
This is strange talk. Suppose millions
were given for the PRONUNCIATION of the
Gospel and it were possible to impart
the glad tidings to every man, woman
and child in the land, if those whose
duty it is to proclaim the same preach
the Gospel of discord and fan the flames
of discomfort between employee and
employer, how would present conditions
be averted? Mr.. Mcleod in another
part of his discourse said;
''The wealthy class all through the
ages has been conservative, stubborn,
and arbitrary, and they have triumphed
over the masses for time. But the re-
forms of history have issued from the
masses struggling against oppression,
for human liberty and human right,
and when the great issue came the privi-
legged classes have been swept away be-
fore the rising tide of the free spirit of
the masses. 1t it comes to the last an
alysis in America, history will repeat
itself Operators cannot stand in the
struggle against American labor"
The above needs no comment. The
fact that such language is used in the
capital of nation and by a minister
of the Gospel of Peace is ominous, and
will cause many TO exclaim, whittier
are we drifting?''
