Morgan wps forced to intervene in
the coal strike, and in reply he said:
ITO my personal knowledge Mr..
Morgan has been trying to settle the
coal strike ever since he came back

keenly felt his responsibility to the
public in connection with the fuel

about the end.
Morgan and cassatt Wanted Peace.
Both Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Cas-
satt, Of the Pennsylvania railroad,
were working for a settlement when
President Roosevelt made his last
and successful = move. Mr.. Morgan
could not very we'll have been
forced to do something which he had
been flying to achieve for several
weeks. / make this statement in JUS

no quarrel with him, and we wish
none. We do not fear him, but pre-
fer his friendship il he is willing to

all the moving had to be done by

large straw hats and started for
