 Harrisburg, Sept 13-The confer ence between Governor Stone and President Mitchell of the United Mine workers of America on matters per taining to the strike. ended at 4:30 o'clock this morning after a discus sion of two hours and a half. The others at the conference were State Senator William Finn of Pittsburg, political friend of the governor and a large employer of labor in Ale gheny county, M KA McMullin of Pittsburg, a wealthy. man of many in- terests, Col w. F. Richardson of Har- risburg, keeper of the state arsenal and Assistant Quartermaster. of the national guard and District President Thomas D. Nichols of Scranton, Thomas Duffy of Mcadoo and John Fahey of Shamokin. At the conclus- ion of the meeting Governor Stone gave to the waiting newspaper cor respondents a written statement read ing as follows:
 '.Messrs Mitchell, Nichols, Fahey, Duffy, Senator Finn, Col Richardson and Governor Stone have been in con- ference. All the differences have been discussed with the best of feel ing'
 Every effort to get the participants in the conference to divulge what took place proved unavailing. Governor Stone and Senator Finn immediately retired and refused to be seen, and the others would say nothing beyond what was contained in the non-com- initial statement given out by the gov ernor After the conference Messrs Mitchell, Duffy and Fahey were rapid ly driven from the governors resi- dence, where the conference was held, to the Pennsylvania railroad station, where they took the 4 40 a. m. train for Wilkesbarre. MT Nichols remain ed here.
 President Mitchell, before leaving, would not even say whether the con ference was satisfactory to him and his district presidents. While no off cial information can be had on the matter, it is believed here that Gov Stone and his colleagues submitted proposition to President Mitchell which will tend to epd the struggle in the hard coal field.
 The conference was the result of the visit of Governor Stone, Senator Finn, Attorney General Elkin, MT Mo Mullin and P. A. B. Widener of Phil adelphia to New York a few days ago. when MT Widener called on J. F. Morgan.
 Wilkesbarre, Sept 13.-Tired and worn out after his flying trip to Phil adelphia, President Mitchell of the Mine Workers union returned here this morning. He said that his in- terview with Governor Stonew was a pleasant one. Asked whether he thought the governor would call an ex- tra session of the legislature he re piled that he did not know.
 Tamaqua, Pa, Sept 13.-John Fay, president of division number seven of the Mine Workers union and Thorn as Duffy of division number one, re- turned to-day from the conference with Governor Stone. Both refused to state the plan of settlement as proposed by the governor. They in timated, however, that the conference had not been very satisfactory one. Local leaders say that they expect little or no good from the conference
