lFrom Saturdays paily.l

(From Saturdays Daily.l
The annual meeting Of the stock
holders Of the Dain Manufacturing Co.
of this city was held at the Ballingall
hotel today. The morning was almost
entirely given over to the election of
officers and the review of the past
years business. Several new names
are to be noticed among the list of Off
GERS, among which is that of Paul Ar
benz, who has been connected with the
company for some time and who was
today elected to the position of secre-
tary and also made one of the direc--
tors. Only one man among the officers
does not live in Ottumwa V. M. Conk-
ling, of Carrolltown. Mo-, where the
factory was formerly located. This
shows that the concern is made up al
most entirely of Ottumwa people and
is handled with Ottumwa capital
Election of Officers.
This morning officers were elected,
the board of directors being named
first and the other officers being named
by the board. Joseph Dain was re-
elected president of the company and
the three other officers are new men in
their places. OF the directory the first
five in the list which follows are old
members reelected. the remainder be-
ing new men on the board. The entire
list Of officers elected today is as fol-
lows:

Meeting This Afternoon.
The reports of the past years bust.
ness and the prospects for next year
are encouraging and the company
feels that the removal from Carrollton
to this city was very beneficial This
afternoon the meeting is still in ses-
sion, matters which concern only the
stockholders being discussed.

sible room for any such misconstruc-
tion,' retorted the President sharply
There We're several such passages at
arms as these. Perhaps half dozen
times the President raised his right
arm and shot it straight out toward
the offending corporation spokesman,
exclaiming:
Stop right there-I never said
that
A Tense Moment.
There was one very tense moment
during the speech of John Markle, the
one so-called Independent operator of
coal mines who was present in the
conference, all the others on that side
being presidents of railways who aver
that for Sherman antitrust law pur-
poses they have nothing whatever to
do with coal mining. Mr.. Markle, who
is personally most agreeable gentle
man, on this occasion harped upon his
favorite string of give us troops
enough and We'll mine the coal" APP
parently forgetting to whom he was
speaking, he cried outrfrom behind his
spectacles and looking straight at the
President of the United States:
Send the federal troops up there
to protect the men who want to work,
and we will relieve the coal famine.
Mr.. President, it is your duty to send
us protection. viii you do twill
you do it,"
The President OF the United States
is not accustomed to being lectured
and to have his duties pointed out to
him in this school-master fashion, and
at this moment an eyewitness says
the countenance of Theodore Roose-
welt was something fearful and won
derful to behold His ewes snapped
and flashed and every expression be-
tokened anger and disgust and a
mighty effort to contain self-control
Luckily for Mr.. Markle's peace of
mind, the effort was successful one.
Confident of Victory.
Washington. Oct. president Nit
chell Of the Mineworkers' union has
dictated formal statement concerning
the proceedings of the conference and
it's results, in which he announced
that the strike would continue, as a
result of the failure of the conference
In reply to questions Mr.. Mitchell
said that the President had said moth
ing in reply to the proposition of the
miners to submit the question to arbi-,
tration, but he added that their offer
was in the line of the Presidents sug-
gestion for an immediate settlement OF
the dispute. He also said that the
merits of the strike had not been en-,
tered upon at any length, as all were
familiar with the questions at issue.
Referring to the manner of conduct
ing the strike in the future, he said he
thought 1t would proceed hereafter
about as it had proceeded in the past.

PLAN HAS FAILED
PRESIDENT is MUM.

NuShiiSloii, oCI. I'll is not
known yet whether President Roose--
welt will issue a statement commenting
upon the results of yesterdays coal
strike conference. Some of his cabi--
net advise against such course.
The suggestion was made in admin
istration circles, though not as coming
from the President, that the result had
been to arouse and concentrate public
sentiment. One of the Presidents adj
Visers intimated that some considera--
ton had been given before the confer
ence to the question of the future
course of the administration in the
event either party refused absolutely
to do anything toward settlement.
lie intimated that there was a possi--
bility the interstate commerce COM
mission might be able to take some
steps with respect to carrying charges
on the anthracite coal roads. Still
public sentiment. he added, was the
chief resource of the President as to
both parties to the strike.

ment of the strike, but he is not dis
couraged. 1t is true he has little
faith in the possibility of legal action,
and equally remote is the likelihood of
the employment of force.
One of the railroad presidents. it is
true, took occasion to suggest to the
President that if the army of the Unit
ed States could be employed in pro-
tecting the non-union miners it would
be easy to start all the mines

iederal authorities to interfere with
troops, unless the disorder reaches a
point beyond the control of the Penn
sylyania authorities, and, up to the
present time, Governor Stone has on
ly placed 5000 or 1000 state troops in
the mining region, whereas he can or
der out the entire militia force of near
ly $4,000
Until the state authorities confess
their inability to cope with the situa--
ton, federal force cannot be exerted.
With legal action impossible and
military force out of the question
there still remains to the President
the power to convene congress in ex-
traordinary session, and it would not
be surprising if this extreme remedy
should be resorted to, even upon the
eve of an election Just what con-
gress could or would do is as yet but
matter of surmise. A law enforcing
compulsory arbitration would not be
unconstitutional, and in the present
state of public feeling would be pass
ed by congress in almost the twink
ling of an eye
There are suggestions of even more

of the right of eminent domain in the
coal region or the appointment of re-
ceivers for the coal companies and
railroads.
These extreme suggestions are, how
ever, born of the excitement of the
hour, and could hardly be enacted
into law.
Compulsory arbitration, however, is
a feasible, practical constitutional
remedy for the pending difficulty, and
the recommendation of the President
for the passage of such law would
meet with instant response.

Washington, Oct. 4.-There will be
no call for an extra session of congress
to deal with the coal strike situation
at this stage. The President express
ly stated in his appeal to the operators
and representatives of the miners yes
terday that he did not act officially in
calling them together He has, for
the time being, exhausted his individ-
ual resources. In his view, the matter
is again one with which the state of
Pennsylvania should deal. If the com.
monwealth finds itself unable to con-
troll the situation and appeals to him
through constitutional channels. the
President will be ready to bring into
play the great forces of the national
government, military and civil, but,
for the time. being, the President has
relaxed his efforts
A great many radical suggestions
are made as the result of the failure
of the conference yesterday and they
include everything from taking pos
session of the mines by the govern
ment to sending United States troops
to Pennsylvania without regard to any
call from the governor of that state. 1t
can be positively stated that none of
these suggestions has received serious
consideration by the administration.
