President Truesdale, OF the Laclsa-

President Fowler, Of the New FORK,
Ontario & Western road, said:
is not unlikely that the public
may jump at the conclusion that Mr..
Mitchell offered to resume operations
Immediately in order. that the suffer
ing public might be relieved at once.
I think it worth while to call atten-
ton to the fact that Mitchell offered
at yes terday's conference to make an
agreement for not less than one
year more than five years, as may
be mutually determined Us
Now the point I wish to make
clear tight here is this: Mitchell can
not order an immediate resumption
of work because the bylaws of the
limited Mine Workers declare that
such q proposition must first be sub
mitted to a conventions of it's dele
gates. That cannot be done in less
than two weeks time. That much
notice. am told, is called for in the
bylaws.
'.Tha public will observe. that there
is a great difference between resum-
ing work Immediately and resuming
work at the end of two weeks. In q
word. Mitchell's proposition has a
string to it. Moreover, how do the
operators know that Mitchell can con-
troll his men? Didn't they go back on
him at Haz1eton two years ago when
!, he ordered them not to strike?
The trouble is that there are two
sides 80 this fght--7the responsible
side, and the irresponsible one. The
operators stand for something; the
miners are IN position to draw out
OF. any agreement their leaders may
make. It is practically impossible to
make. a binding agreement with

Quay Refuses to Talk.
Philadelphia, Oct. Omitted States
Senator Quay was asked Saturday for
a statement regarding the. strike CON
ference at Washington, but he de-
clined TO make any comment on the
failure to reach an agreement.
+ The senator did say, however, that
he had not been summoned to the ma
tional capitol by the president.
Cardinal Gibbons Disappointed.
Baltimore, Nd, Oct. cardinal
Gibbons furnished to the Evening
News the following as his views on
Fridays conference between Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the coal operators
and President Mitchell:
''In common with every other per-
son in the country T had looked for
ward to the conference of yesterday
with the most eager and hopeful an
ticipa@ion. Certainly twas a noble
opportunity, and President Roos evelt
cannot be too highly commended for
the effort made by him to end AMIGA
bly, a strike that has been so pro-
longed and the cause Of so much
anxiety, and no doubt, also, Of con-
siderable distress. Without vent11r-
ing to express any opinion as to the
legal rights involved in the matter
at issue, cannot refrain from ex-
pressing my sympathy with the
workers in the mines in their effort
to- better their condition I hoped
from the bottom of my heart that
some adjustment fair to both sides
would come from the conference, and
if the dispute had been left by mutual
agreement in the hands of the presi-
dent himself to arbitrate am con-
fident there would have been a great
feeling of satisfaction. Unhappily,
that was not to be, and my disap-
pointment that the conference has
proved without fruit, is acute
