The luncheon was served from res
taurant on the top floor of the building.
and four walters attended to the needs
Of the magnates.
President Baer reached the Office be-
fore noon from Philadelphia. He refused
to make any statement about the con-
dition Of affairs or about the conference
this afternoon.
Mr. Truesdale who reached the cen
trail building at quarter after l. was
In the best of humor and evidently deep
" pleased at the action of the Governor
of PENNSYLVANIA uIe said in answer to
questions:
''The conference this afternoon Is to
discuss the action of Governor Stone in
sending the full strength of the militia
of his State into the coal regions. This
action will ultimately end in breaking
the strike"
DETECTIVES GUARD BAER.
President Baer was guarded on his
trip and stop here by two detectives.
These two men came from Philadelphia
with him and at least one OF them
was constantly by his side. While he was
on the street, or any public place, both
Of them We're always with him.
During the banquet and subsequently
short conference OF the coal road presi-

hallway Of the central building. The
other was IN the room adjoining the
private office.
EFFECTS OF scANT SUPPLY.
The price Of soft coal went up ten
cents a ton to-day-to $3.50. It will go
much higher next week, dealers say. be-
cause of tho lack of means to get it
to the city.
Il was reported to-day that Of the
ninety-one public schools in Kings coun-
ty. there is not one school that has a
weeks supply.
Anthracite is practically unattainable,
except at prohibiuve figures
Bread rose one cent a loaf in price.
The moral effect of this upon people of
the East Side could be told at a glance.
Congregating in large numbers the poor
people Of New York stand in the street
voicings a general condemnation on the
coal operators. First it was beef, then
it was coal, now it is bread. What next?"
This is the general sentiment among
those whose poverty will not allow Of
any amelioration in the difficult living
Of to-day.
