miners association on Tuesday and
we will have an answer then"
The conference broke up. Mr.. Baer
and Mr.. Thomas Withdrawing.
Senators Platt Penrose and Quay
talked over the matter for a short
time and then they too. departed, the
two Pennsylvanians announcing that
they would go back to Harrisburg and
discuss the situation with Governor
Stone.
Governor Odell was not In a talka-
tive mood when he left the room. He
went directly to the Fifth avenue ho-
tel. and during most OF the afternoon
received callers. Mayor Low, Anson
q. McCook. Edw. Lauterbacb, Con-
gressmen Lesslcr and Littauer and
Senator Plat were among his cali
ers. To one OF these the governor
said;
THE coal operators may postpone
this matter until Tuesday. but ! don't
propose to postpone ii. They are not
acting fair toward the people. be-
lieve | shall find some remedy"
About five o'clock John Mitchell. ac-
companied by l.. n. HIammcrling OF
Wilkesbarre, called and had long
conference. While this was going on
dispatch announcing that the opera.
tors refused to consider the terms Of
fered by Governor odell was received.
When the conference was over Gov.
ernor Odell refused to say what had
occurred. and Mitchell was equally re.
ticent. Il Is believed. however. that
Governor Odell presented his PROPOSE
tion for a settlement To the leader OF
the miners union and that Mitchell
said he would present It to the dis.
trict presidents in the hope IL would
be accepted.
Governor Odell said: Mitchell was
eminently fair and showed every dis
position to adjust the serious situa-
ton"
With the announcement that all the
conferees except Governor Odell had
left town. some of the interest In the
matter dropped. Governor Odell, at
a late hour tonight. was asked wheth-
er he had determined on any further
move. He said:
Il have not received any official
notice of the rejection Of our propo-
sition."
Has II been suggested that you
call an extra session Oh the legisla-
ture?" was asked.
Il have not thought Of II as yet.
AS said. am waiting for an answer
from the operators"
The governor said tonight that he
would go to Newburgh tomorrow to
register and return here on Monday
morning. Then ne would take up the
matter actively.
Today's conference between the men
in official positions and President Baer
and Chairman Thomas was absolutely
barren of results. According to state
ments made by the operators. the pros.
poets of settlement are no more prom
ising than they were yesterday.
There is nothing to justify the as
sertion that negotiations will be re-
sumed next Tuesday. AS one OF the
coal presidents put IL. "the incident
Is closed"
"The unionists." said the gentle
man. made a number of suggestions,
all of which we turned down. These
included a ten per cent increase In
Pennsylvania. a decrease of working
hours and the recognition of the un-
ion, as well as a number of other
propositions which were regarded as
equal undebateable. In fact, we
found 1t impossible to negotiate with
them, and said so"

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. S.-uuless
President Mitchells hurried visit to
New York bears fruit, the end Of the
mine workers strike seems a long
way off, and the prospect Of sufficient
coal being mined to satisfy the public
demand is extremely poor.
Every local union OF the miners
organization throughout the hard coal
belt held special meetings. either last
night or today. and resolved to remain
on strike until the mine owners grant
them some concessions, and while re-
ports of these meetings came pour
ing into Wilkesbarre. President Mitch
ell dictated a letter to the president
of United States in which he gave his
answer to the proposition that the
strikers return TO work and trust to
have their condition improved through
an investigating commission.
What the answer of the miners
chief is he refused to diyulge, but
it is difficult to conceive that, with
the replies of the local unions piled
around him, he could do otherwise
than respectfully aecline the presi-
dents proposition.
Mitchell sent his letter to Washing
ton before he had heard from all the
| locals. and at three O'Clock in the af-
ternoon, accompanied by the three dis
trict presidents, left for New York.
His mission there is also secret. AS
New York is headquarters for the
coal operators. the rumor immediate
" spread that settlement was In
prospect, but Mitchell and his Dl.
leagues would not say whom they ex-
pected to meet.
Il was a busy day for the miners
officials around headquarters. From
early morning until late at night the
returns came in constantly. This ev-
ening corps of newspaper cores
pondents stationed here were invited
10 examine the reports. and none was
found that was not couched In firm
language.
Briefly stated, the resolutions in
these reports affirm the confidence Of
the men in the integrity and Judgment
of their president, praise President
Roosevelt for his efforts to end the
strike, denounce the presidents OF the
coal carrying railroads lor their al.
legged abuse OF the chief executive
at the conference in Washington, de-
nounce the employment of the coal
and iron police. thank all organiza.
tions and citizens throughout the coun.
try for financial assistance given. and
denounce Governor Stone for sending
troops here.
Nearly all the resolutions contain
ed a sentence to the effect that the
men will remain out. though all the
troops in the United states were sent
here" until they are granted some
concessions.

LABORING MEN
NOT FOR EVANS
Denounce the Democratic Candidate
as Altogether Unfit to Represent
Them in Congress.
LABOR COUNCIL OF MIssoULA
Say Evans is an Employer of China.
men and Has Frequently Manifest
ed Antipathy to Labor.

Missoula, Oct. 1.-THE attitude of
organized labor in Western Montana
on the candidacy of John Morgan Ev-
ans for representative was made plain
beyond a doubt by the action of the
Western Montana Trades and Labor
council in denouncing him as an ene-
my to organized labor.
The council met in Missoula and one
of the matters of interest that came
before the meeting was the report of
a committee appointed at recent
meeting to investigate the attitude
of Mr.. Evans toward organized labor.
The report of the committee was
such as to everlastingly condemn him
in the judgment of organized labor
in this section of the state The re-
suit was the adoption of the following
condemnatory resolutions:
"The officers and members of the
Western Montana Trades and Labor
council of the city and county of Mis-
soula: We, your committee, duly ap-
pointed to draft resolutions condemn
ing the candidacy of John Morgan Ev-
ans for representative to congress, re-
spectfully report as follows:
Employed chinaman.
Whereas, it is notorious fact that
John Morgan Evans has shown by his
past actions that he is an upholder of
the Mongolian race. having employed
one in his own home until after his
nomination for representative in the
congress of the United States, and by
his action in the Democratic county
convention of 1900, that he is an ene-
my to organized labor; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Western Montana
Trades and Labor council of the city
and county of Missoula, that we de-
clare him to be unfit to represent the
laboring people of the state of Mon
tana in the congress of the United
States; be 1t further
Resolved, That copy of these res
olutions be sent to each union in the
state of Montana and also be publish.
