President Mitchell has already sent
his answer to President Roosevelt. but
declines to state it's nature.
President Mitchell and the three an
thracite district presidents returned to
This city from Buffalo early in the day.
The chief of the miners at that tim"
had nothing to say regarding the trip
and also declined to discuss President
Roosevelt's proposition for ending the
strike.
When Mr. Mitchell was asked if he
thought any men would return to work
after the entire national guard of the
state had been placed on duty in the
coal belt. he said:
The best answer to that question
will be the action of the local unions"

headquarters is increasing as the ther

rated was received during the day
Scores of letters are from eccentric per

and many are received from persons
who want the strike ended so that they
can get coal.
