THE ANTHRACITE STRIKE
 HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED
Report of the Commissioner of Labor
 to the President.

Washington, September 3.-Carroll D. Wright, commissioner Of labor, was designated by the president in June to investigate and report to him the cause and conditions accompanying the pres ent controversy between the Pennsyl- vania anthracite coal operators and miners. Twelve days Ia ter MT. Wright submitted his finding to the president. After carefully going over the report the president submitted it to the at torney general, who after giving it full and careful consideration reports that the executive has no power whatever to take action in the matter. The re- port accordingly is made public for the information Of the people.
 MT. Wright conducted his investiga- tions in New York, being represented in the coal regions by an experienced gen. tleman, who, he states, had studied the conditions in the coal regions many times, and who undertook to make the necessary inquiries rela tive to the pres ent strike. Mr. Wright says that he knovS of no strike that has presented so m,,ny varying conditions, conflict ing views and irritating complaints.
 The present strike, he says, finds it's root in the settlement of the strike in 1SO0 when the advance demanded by the miners was conceded. Since that time there has been increased sensi- tiveness and more intense irritation than during the previous twenty-five years. The report recites what efforts were made to secure a conference be tween the operators and miners before

After leaving Senator Dawes house the four carriages containing the pres ident and party were driven toward the Pittsfeld ountry club house. When near the club house the electric car was noticed coming at a terrific rate of speed. Secret Service Agent Craig signaled the motorman to stop, but he apparently paid no attention to the signal. A witness said the motOrman was speeding the car in order to reach the club. The president, Governor Crane and Secretary Cortelyou were all piled in a heap. The awe-stricken crowd rushed to the presidents car Iiage with no expectation that he would be found alive. The president was cut on the right side of the chin and his face was much swollen. The members of the party were at once talk en to the club house. where their wounds were dressed. In d short time the party proceeded to LenOx.
 The president retained his usual com pcsure, although he was very solicit ous for the rest of the party. Alter re- maining at the scene of the accident for some time the president continued his journey. In the next carriage to his was pr. Lung of the navy, who at tended him. The president proceeded direct to Bridgeport, cutting out all in- termediate stops scheduled, and a once embarked cn the Sylph for Oyster Bay.
