Tall pine-tops unto pine-tops breathe
In sighings murmurous as the sea.
And through the birchen copse beneath
There runs a fiutting harmony
In the half-duszs OF tangled green

And in each hollow may Be seen
The fragile laceries Of the ferns.

A Washington, Oct 10. dispatch says:
The reply Of John Mitchell, president
Of the mine workers union. to the ap-
peal Of President Roosevelt for a tenn
porary suspension Of the strike in the
anthracite region was made public at
the White house yesterday. 1t follows:
Hon Theodore Roosevelt, Presi-
dent Of the United States, Washington.
D. c.: Dear Sir-HOn- Carroll D.
Wright has. no doubt, reported to you
the delivery Of your message to ne
last Monday and my statement to him
that 1 should take your suggestion
under Amusement, although I did not
look upon it with favor.
Since that time 1 have consulted
with our district president, who con
cur fully in my views
We desire TO assure again that we
feel keenly the responsibility OF our
position and the gravity Of the situa-
ton, and it would give US great
pleasure TO take any action which
would bring this coal strike to an end
in a maner that would safeguard our
constituents.
In proposing that there be an i'm
mediate resumption Of coal mining
upon the conditions We suggested in the
conference at the White house, we be
Heved that we had gone more than
half way and had met your wishes.
1T is unnecessary in this letter to
refer to the malicious assault made
upon US in the response of the coal
operators We feel confident that you
must have been impressed with the fair
ness Of our proposition and the insin-
cerity of those who maligned US.
Having in mind our experience
with the coal operators in the past, We
have no reason to feel any degree Of
confidence in their willingness TO do
US justice in the future; and inasmuch
as they have refused TO accept the de-
cision Of a tribunal selected by you,
and inasmUch as there is no law
through which you could enforce the
findings Of the commission you sug-
gest, we respectfully decline to advise
our people to return to work simply
upon the hope that the coal operators
might be induced or forced to comply
with the recommendations Of your
commission
''As stated above, we believe that we
went more than half way in our pro-
posaI at Washington, and we do not
feel that we should be asked to make
further sacrifice.
I'VE appreciate your solicitude for
the people Of our country, who are now
and will be subjected to great suffering
and inconvenience by a prOIongation Of
the coal strike, and we feel that the
onus Of this terrible state Of affairs
should be placed upon the side which
has refused to refer to fair and i'm
partial investigation
I am respectfully,
