CHICAGO, April 1.-At a meeting held
here today of the executive boards OF the
coal operators associations of Illinois, In

was made to the miners through their
President John Mitchell to arbitrate the
differences now existing between the oper-
ators and the miners.

issued from the New York office of the

plies made by the miners and the opera
tors in the differences still unsettled. Ac-
oompanying these was a comment by Ivy
L. Lee the local representative OF the
operators. in which he says:
1T will be observed that each essential
claim Of the miners was duly considered
by the coal commission appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. II will also be observed
that the position of the operators In 1906
is precisely IN accord with the letter and
spirit OF the commissions findings. The
operators. it will be observed, accepting
the commissions decision as having per-
manent effect. except insofar as subsequent
events have possibly modified actual con-
diuons. These possibilities the operators
agree TO submit to the same impartial
tribunal

cheese documents will show that there is
no reason for re-opening this question"

When I announced my candidacy for the
ONCE of mayor of this city 1 determined
to make clean honorable campaign and
to win or lose without bringing reproach
upon my own name or trying to caluminate
that OF any one else. conceived that the
people of this city are sufficiently intelli-
gent to respond to appeals to their interest
in an administration Of their municipal
AFFAIRS along business lines, and that their
standard of morals Is sufficiently high to
endorse honesty and fair dealing in such
administration Of their government.
When the primaries were held and be-
came the nominee of my party / specifically
asked for a platform such as would, With
out evasion or equivocatlon, pledge the
candidates of the party, in words that

strued to these ends. In this view l had

Gratis who were called together for the
purpose Of framing this platform. The re-

distinctly pledged to carry out, TO the ut

OF that platform.
Within the last few days the opposition

made the charge that the representative
democrats who framed my platform, men
OF the highest intelligence though they
were, have stolen the platform Of their
candidate. 1t Is my purpose iE writing
this letter to examine this charge. to show
the utter falsity Of 1t, and thus expose the
duplicity of those who are making IT,
