GOVERNOR TALKS
WITH MITCHELL

Denver. Dec. THE News this
morning says:
Hopes that the conference between
President Mitchell and Governor Pea
body might lead to an early termina-
tion of the Southern coal strike were
shattered yesterday afternoon. For
over three-quarters of an hour the gov
ernor and the labor leader reviewed the
situation at the executive chambers,
but came to no understanding.
While the conference was barren Of a
result both Governor Peabody and
President Mitchell express themselves
as well pleased. each saying he has
better conception of the position of the
other. President Mitchell absolutely
refused to discuss the conference, other
than to say his talk with the governor
was of a very pleasant nature. He left
on the 4:15 Burlington for Chicago to
attend a conference in the interests OF
the Illinois miners. As for his return
Colorado. he Is undecided.
Governor Peabody was not averse to
discussing the conference last night.
said:
"The conference was very pleasant,
although it wasn't productive and re-
suits. AT its conclusion President Nit
chell stated that SO far rs he can see
there is no immediate probability OF a
settlement of the strike.
"Our conference began by Mr.. Nit
chell reciting the different aspects of
the situation, and the causes that led to
the strike. the eight-hour day. the min
ing of 2,400 pounds of coal for ton,
and the issuance of scrip. He stated
that he has furnished transportation to
l 1900 or 400 strikers to other fields,
where he has secured them employ
ment; also that over 1000 strikers who
had money have paid their own trans
portation. and have gone to work in
other fields. The remainder are pro-
vided with strike benefits as called for.
Single. men are given So per week,
while married men are given IS.
''Mr. Mitchell continued that he will
furnish the men with food clothing and
shelter as long as the strike lasts. or
until they can be transported to other
fields. t-
TN turn, told him that would pro-
tect the people with the same jealous
care as he had said he would look after
his men. called his attention to the
geographical location of Colorado, and

duced II enough laboring men can be
found to mine 1t. told him his men
might remain in idleness as long as he
cared to board and clothe them. provid-
ed they obeyed the law and committed
no acts of violence.

fere with men who care to work, that
moment will interfere with the troops
