$1,000, 600 which Secretary Metcali

"This has been followed by the usual

the lesser, the pure beer of the ex-

PRESENTED PETITION
President Asked to Investigate
Colorado Labor Troubles
Chief Magistrate Indicated That An
investigation Is Being Made BY
Agents of the Department of
Commerce and Labor.

Oyster Bay, l.. l., July 20.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt Tuesday received the
committee appointed last Sunday by
the convention of the coal miners and
allied crafts at Wilkesbarre, Pa. The
mission of the committee was to pre-
sent personally to the president a Pc
tition reciting the conditions in which
organized labor has been placed by
the action of the authorities of Col
orado and requesting him to institute
an investigation of the labor troubles
in that state with view if possible
of remedying the conditions now exist
ing The members of the committee,
M. T. Burke, of Carbondale, Pa; Hen
ry Herzovits, of Plymouth, Pa, and
Frank E. McCafferty, of Victor, COL,
are the men who came to Oyster Bay
last week to present the petition to the
president. They had an interview
with Secretary Loeb, who was unable
that day to arrange for them a per-
sonal interview with President Roose-
welt and therefore they were obliged
to return to Pennsylvania without see
ing the president.
Subsequently the matter was taken
up by officials representing the sew
eral central labor unions, the Official
seals of which were attached to the
petition and without difficulty an ar
rangement was made by which the
president indicated that he would be
pleased to receive a properly accred-
tied committee at such time as might
be agreed upon. The committee ar
rived here Tuesday afternoon and met
the president at his Sycamore Hill
home at 7:30 Tuesday evening. They
passed half an hour with Mr. Roose-
welt in his library, The petition, which
was the petition of 225,000 men of the
union labor organizations of North
eastern Pennsylvania, was laid before
the president. He read it carefully
and then informed the committee that
he would be glad to do anything he
properly and legally could do to amel-
iorate the conditions existing in the
state of Colorado He indicated that
an investigation of the labor troubles
in that state is now being made by
agents of the department of commerce
and labor. Thus far the situation had
not been such as would warrant inter-
ference by the federal government
Following the presentation of the
petition the president talked with his
callers on subjects of mutual inter-
ests.
The members of the committee ex.
pressed satisfaction with their visi:
and united in saying their interview
was perfectly satisfactory to them
and doubtless will be to the unions
which they represent. The commit
tee left here Tuesday night for New
York. They will return to their Penn
sylvania homes Wednesday.
