V Senator Hirls precedents considered in de-
tail.
Cd In support of his arguments. Senator Hill
cites the power Of Congress over the District of
Columbia. The people of the United States
own the District OF Columbia" he says and
1t provides water. bridges. parks. streets hos
pitfalls, schools and public libraries for the use of
the public in that District" Certainly. but by
what authority? Congress" saws the Constt-
tuition. shall have the power 10 exercise ex-
elusive legislation in all cases whatsoever over
sdch district as may become the seat of
the government of the United States" That is
an express and enumerated power And the
Supreme Court constituting 1t as recently 1898
laid down this law: The Congress- of the
United States being empowered by the Consti-
tuition has the entire control over the
Dlstrlct or Columbia !o' crcrH purpose NJ Gor6R-
mCnt hGtiondl or local." Q14 u. S. -. To cite
as a precedent for cgfiscating Pennsylvania
coal mines the public improvements of Wash
ington, made by the national government when
acting as purely local and municipal legts-
lature, and under specific authority of the Con-
stltution. argues deplorable ignorance Of both
the Constitution and constitutional law.
Senator Hill further says: The United States
owns post-oftices everywhere and carries on and
controls the business of mail transportation
from one end of the country to the other. for
the benefit of the people" Assuredly and the
express power is contained in these words OF
the Constitution, To establish ost-officeS and
post roads and 10 make all Isws which
snail be necessary for carrying into execution
the foregoing powers" Surely these" says
Senator Hill, ARE safe precedents enough 10
authorize the government If 1t is so disposed
10 acquire by the right of eminent domain" the
ailAIeclts coal mines In other words. Ee Giles

Inability heretofore Of those In charge

An advance Of rs per cent In laundry

THRONGS OF THE CURIOUS
SURROUND WHITE HOUSE
All Day Hundreds Remained Around the
Building, Hoping for Some Word
of Settlement.

From o'clock in the morning until
dark yesterday the sidewalks and door
steps near the temporary White House
the seats in Lafayette Square oppo-
site, and the grass plats were crowded
with people waiting and watching fol
developments. Photographers. news
paper men, stock brokers, and the usu Al
contingent OF curious stood around
ready to Jump at any move out of the
ordinary.
1t was not until three minutes be-
fore S o'clock that one of the opera
tors came down from the conference
rooms. The crowd drew closer TO the
doorway. Then another, and then all
the railway men went into Secretary
Cortelyou's Office. The meeting had
adjourned. Carriages stood in the
street. Men. were banked five and six
deep each side of the entrance way. Not
long before the conference broke up
Mrs. Roosevelt went away for car
riage ride.

back in the carriage he replied, with a
smile: IF you can tell me, you know

he added.
Excitement increased then. Nothing

then came down the stairs. He walked
out of the White House through the
center of one of the largest crowds of
newspaper men seen here in many
years. No sooner had he crossed the
street than he was run down.
Mitchell Up a Tree.
Standing near tree box. he told them
that there had been no settlement. The
crowd around him broke away and he
walked to the Hotel Fritz Reuter-. 1t
WAS too late then for the news to have
any effect on the stock market, but the
brokers began to speculate on the con-
ditfon OF their credits the next day.
More news was learned about 6
o'clock. when It was announced that
statement would be made at 10 o'clock
last night.

MITcHELL's STATEMENT.
CONTINUED from First Paee.)

The President suggested that he did
not wish to go into the merits OF the
case, but that his object was to have
the mining of coal resumed. The oper-
ators refused to listen to any PROPOSE
ton advanced by Mr.. Mitchell.
In less than twenty minutes the first
conference was over, and the labor
leaders returned to the Hotel Reuter-.
where they had lunch. In the after
noon they prepared the formal PROPOSE
tion, which President Mitchell submit
ted at the second conference. This met
with an even greater attack on the
part OF the operators than did the oral
statement made by Mr.. Mitchell during
the morning session.
The miners organization was roundly
scored by the operators, and Mr.. Mitch
ell and his associates came in :or no
small share of the denunciation. SO
much so that at times the discussion
was not only heated, but personal.
The President heard each statement
read and the discussion upon 1t which
followed, frequently interfering ques-
tions himself and asking for explara-
tions Then there was a general free
for-all discussion, and statements we're
emphasized by gestures which were at
times swift and sweeping.
After two hours the presidents left
the conference at 5 o'clock, fling
through the rows of newspaper men,
and entering their carriages. Mr..
Mitchell and his associates remained
about ten minutes longer with the Pres
ident Then they came down and were
about to leave the White House whsn
the President sent messenger to ask
Mr.. Mitchell to return again for mo-
ment for another word.
Mr.. Mitchell went upstairs again.
while his colleagues waited in the hall
below. He came down shortly and
wedged his way through the waiting
crowd, and the only statement he would
make was that there had been no SET
tlement Of the strike. Later in the
evening he gave out statement setting
forth the position assumed by the min
ers. and embodying the proposition
which they made at the conference.
Not Surprised at Outcome.
Mr.. Mitchell was evidently not sur
prised at the outcome and tn. refusal
of the operators to listen to any propo-
sitiou from him or to submit to arbi-
tration, although he used all his ef-
forts to obtain an agreement on those
lines. The Presidents opinion Of the
miners proposition was not openly
manifested, but from his address at the
morning conference, 1t is apparent tina.
he indorsed at least that portion of Mr..
Mitchells proposition that mining bs
resumed at once, and the differences
settled later.
Mr. Mitchell was undecided when h.,
came to Washington as to how long he
would remain. He had thought Of re-
naming here for several days. in order
to attend the meeting of the executive
council of the American Federation Of
Labor, which is to be held on October s.
preliminary to the annual convention in
New Orleans next month. He statei
last night, however, that he would leave
this morning for Wilkesbarre. Pa.

and Z a. m. After leaving him 1t Will
carry the other presidents on to the
metropolis and still arrive there IN
time for them to begin the day as early
as usual in their Offices in the Wal!
Street district.
Mr.. Mitchell had expected to leave
Washington this morning, but mass
meeting of the local order Of machtn-
lists has been arranged for this even
ing and he and his associates will prob
ably remain over in Washington to de-
liver addresses.

DIFFICULT TO REALIZE
GRAVITY OF SITUATION
+. B. Thomas, Chairman of the Board of
Directors of Erie Road, Pre-
sents Appeal.

The statement presented the President
by E. B. Thomas, chairman of the board
CT directors of the Erie Railroad Com
pany. was as foliowss
''Mr. President:
mo cne can more fully realize the
gravity Of the situation or the grave re-
sponsibili.ies resting upon them than
men who for months have been seeking
to protect the property under their
charge as well as the lives of loyal en-
ployes from the attacks of misguided
men inci.ed by people foreign to the
State and to the industry we are seeking
to defend.
I'VE are doing all in our power and
with increasing success to mine coal.
Mr.. Mitchell and his lieutenants are de-
ing all in their power to prevent it.
I'VE ask that such efforts cease. or.
failing. that the State of Pennsylvania,
and If she is unable. the powers of the
United States shall be exerted to afford
full protection to employees not only
while at work, but to and from their
homes. as well as to their families; and
that the reign of terror, riots, intinlida-
tion and murder. which for months has
prevailed in the anthracite coal region.
shall cease.
Work of Violence.
"A record of twenty killed. over forty
injured and with constant and increas-
ing destruction of dwellings, works, ma
chinery ard railroads by mob violence.
with no proper enfor cement Of law or
order by the proper officials. is not the
time to act on Mr.. Mitcheii's suggestion
of this morning to arbitrate with men
not in our employ.
There are over 1900 loyal employes
at work in and around the anthracite
mines, and since this conference has
, been called open threats are current in
that region that such men will neither
be permitted to work nor LIVE in that
country.
I'VE are contending for the right of
the American citizen to work without
regard to creed. nationality, or associa-
tion. To seek to prevent this is crime
and We cannot by implication sanction
such a course.
Plea for Law and Order.
I'VE ask the enforcement Of law and
order in the State. that we be permitted
to deal with our employees free from
foreign interference, convinced that un-
der such conditions we can fully per-
form our full duty to the public, our
owners and to our employees.
II fully concur in the suggestion OF
Mr.. Baer, which can be pursued In case
Of failure to agree with our employees.
but in many years of such dealing it has
never yet been requisite to call In as
sistance to fairly and satisfactorily deal
with our own men,"
