TIE PRESIDENT RECEIVES THE
BRITISH LABOR COM MISSION;
1t is Idle, he Declares to Protest Against the
Inevitable Tendency Toward Corpor-
alton and Union
(By the Associated Press.)

Warrington. Nov. 26.-President Roose-
welt received today the members of the
British Labor Commission. who are
making a tour of the United States as
te guests of Alfred Mosely, the British
philanthropist After greeting the mem
hers of the party, the President said:
Il am delighted to have the pleasure
of meeting you gentlemen and Mr.. Marks.
have had communication with Mr..
Marks on more than one question lead
ing up to the coal strike. Naturally like
any man who has anything to do with
public affairs, l not only take, but am
bound to take the very deepest interest
in all the manifold social problems which
include as one section of them what we
group together as the labor problem.
More and more as our modern Industrial
progress goes on there is a tendency to
work in federation or combination, both
among employers and among employees,
in corporations and in unions; and, of
course. gentlemen, among the reasons
why l take very great interest in these
combinations is the very fact that by
their power they have such great possi-
bilties for good, which necessarily i'm
pies IIldI IUey llcihC dioO SiCoI pOooI-
bilities for evil. Whether you wish them
or not it is idle, in my opinion, to pro-
test against the inevitable tendency of
the times toward both corporation and
union. 1t is worse than folly to take
exceptions of either corporation or
union as such The line should be
drawn on conduct"
Mr.. Marks, whom the President ad-
dressed in his remarks, is the president
of the National Association of Clothiers,
with headquarters in New York. He is
travelling with the party. He is one of
those with whom the President con-
suited during the coal strike negotia-
tions which resulted in the appointment
of the arbitration commission.

A BREACH OF FAITH
BY THE COAL KINGS
Facts Speak for Themselves,
Say Miners Counsel.
AND THEYGIVE THEM HERE
In a Nut Shell the Coal Road Presidents Agreed
to MacVeagh's Plan Of Settlement out
Of Court, Then Rspudiated
Him.
CBy the Associated Press.)


Scranton, Pa.. Nov. 26.-Quite in con-
trast with the happy faces of the indie
pendent operators when they returned
from New York last night were the coun-
tenances of the miners representatives
when they returned today from their
disappointing trip to Washington.
How the latter views the sudden and
surprising turn of affairs is we'll set
forth in a statement issued this after
noon by Messrs. Darrow and Lloyd, the
miners attorneys, who accompanied Mr..
Mitchell to Washington. They clearly
indicate that they think the coal road
presidents acquiesced in Mr.. MacVeagh's
plan of a settlement out of court and
then repudiated him. The statement is
as follows:
'"The commission adjourned for ten
days in pursuance of an arrangement be-
tween the parties to give opportunity
for conciliation on account of a telegram
which he understands was written by
George f. Baer in the presence of and
with the consent of every railroad con-
cerned and was signed by Wayne Mac
Veagh. This telegram was written after
a careful reading of the tentative agree
ment which had been prepared and writ
ten by counsel of both parties and which
had been submitted to the commission.
At the request of Mr.. MacVeagh, Mr..
Mitchell, Mr. Darrow and Mr.. Lloyd
went to Washington to consult upon
some minor details of the agreement.
There was no friction or important dis
agreement between the parties at the
meeting in Washington. Later in the
day, after the conference in New York
with the independent operators, Mr.
MacVeagh received telegram calling
off all negotiations and advising that the
matter be settled by the commission liz
regular hearing.
"The man who wrote the telegram to
Judge Gray, stating that the main fea-
lures of the contract were acceptable,
was the same man who signed the tele-
gram to Wayne MacVeagh three or four
days later, stating that negotiations
must end.
"A copy of the tentative agreement is
in the hands of Hon. Wayne MacVeagh,
Mr.. Wilcox. Of the Delaware and Hud-
son Company; Carroll d. Wright and
probably Mr.. Baer.
I'VE can see no reasons for the ex-
preston of any opinion, the facts speak
for themselves. We have been ready at
all times to consult with any one, and
make any reasonable adjustment, but
we have no anxiety whatever over the
case and its results and shall be ready
for business when the commission
meets
While admitting that they did much
towards breaking off the negotiations
for a settlement out of court the indc-
pendent operators do not hesitate to say
that they were not required to advance
much argument to bring the coal roads
presidents to their way of thinking.
One of the independent operators said
today:
''The big companies had come to our
way of thinking before we met them.

What North Carolina has to be Thank
full For.

Oxford ~ c.. Nov. 26.-God has given
to us as a people material prosperity.
We are peculiarly favored in climate and
soil and in those blessings which we
term natural conditions" From war,
pestilence and famine we have been
free. Peace, healthfulness and plenty
have been ours. None who are able to
work need now be idle. We are COM
paratively exempt from the low bred,
foreign element, which is a dangerous
and demoralizing factor in some other
States. The relationship existing be-
tween capital and labor is more friendly
than in many States. North Carolina is
filled with a generous, hearted.
strong type of manhood and with as
high a type of womanhood as can be
found on the face of the earth. Our peo-
pie are awakening to the duty and
necessity of educating the children of the
State. The gospel in its simplicity and
power is proclaimed from our pulpts,
and in the lives of many of our people
We are thankful for the progress OF
the church of God and for the hope o.
its mightier movement onward. We are
thankful for the growth of charitable,
fraternal organizations, which are doing
good. We are grateful for all indica-
tions that the moral and spiritual life
of our people is growing more vigorous.
and one of the plainest manifestations
of this fact is in the growth and de-
velopment of orphan work in North Car
olina. II material prosperity meant i'm
poverishment of the higher life of our
citizenship it would not be blessing
For these and innumerably more bless
ings we are thankful.
