Coal operators.
New York-President Roosevelt has

tween the coal miners and operators,
and as the result of letter ad
dressed by him to John Mitchell, presi
dent of the United Mine Workers OF
America, national convention of tho
united miners will be held at Indian
apolis March 18th to try to reach an
agreement with the soft coal opera
tors, in the hope of averting the threat
ened strike of April LIST in the btu
minous fields.
The Presidents letter and the an.
nouncement that the national conven
tion would be called were made ppb
lie Monday by Mr.. Mitchell after
long conference with Francis l.. Rob
bins, president of the Pittsburg Coal
Company, and chairman of the btu
minous operators
Also present at this conference were
W. C. Perry of the Southwestern Coal
Association, and B. F. Bush, represent
ing the soft coal interests allied with
the Gould railroads. The Presidents
letter to Mr.. Mitchell follows: II
Il note with very great concern
failure of your late convention on the
basis of settlement of the bitumin
GUS mining scale of wages. You in
this business have enjoyed great in,
dustrial peace for many years, thanks
! to the joint trade agreement that has
| resulted in the action of your success
| sive conventions.
"A strike such as is threatened on
April list is a menace to the peace and
| general welfare of the country. | urge
| you to make further effort to avoid
such a calamity.
you and Mr.. Robbins are joint
| chairmen of the trade agreement com
mittee of the National Civic Fedora
| ton, and it seems to me that this i'm.
poses additional duty upon you both
and gives an additional reason why
each of you should join in making
further effort Very respectfully.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
The conference did not adjourn until
nearly s o'clock at Eight, when Mr.
Mitchell announced that after III
reading of President Roosevelt's letter
it was agreed both by himself and tn
operators that the nationai convention
should be called The miners were in
session recently at Indianapolis, but
! failed to reach an agreement with tho
J operators. DfeSluent NltCnell llIusAl
has been quoted as saying that so faA
as he knew there would certainly be

April 1st
With the anthracite negotiations
well under way President Mitchell has
( been devoting most of his time to
bringing about a settlement of the DIFF
ferences in the soft coal regions.
Mr. Mitchell has not announced any
details of the conference. March 18th
he believes is the earliest date the coN
vention can be summoned. and he be
leves that il there is to be peace the
two weeks between the date fixed for
the miners assembly and April 1st
when the present agreement with the
operators expires, is sufficient time tc
bring about the desired result.
Concessions on both sides may be
offered and President Roosevelts in.

were very welcome on account of the
previous dryness, which had parched

THE TRUTH ALWAYS.

"When you are in doubt tell

may pass in some things, but
not in business. Fraud and de-
ception are often profitable 80
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and a reputa-
ton that is always worth twen-
ty shillings to the pound every
where your goods are offered for
sale. We are able modestly to
