of the bituminous operators, who came
to New York yesterday. Also present
at this conference were w. G. Perry of
the Southwestern Coal association and
b. +. Bush, representing the soft coal
interests allied with the Gould railroads.
The Presidents letter to Mr.. Mitchell
follows:
l note with great concern the failure of
your late convention on the joint interstate
agreement to come to a basis of settlement
of the bituminous mining scale OF wages.
You In this business have enjoyed great
industrial peace for many years thahhs 10
the joint trade agreement that has resulted
in the action Of your successive cohNeh-
lions.
A strike such as is threatened on April
Is a menace to the peace and general wei
fare of the country. | urge you TO make
a further effort to avoid such "A calamity.
You and Mr.. Robbins are joint chairmen
of the trade agreement committee OF the
National civic federation and 1t seems to
me that this imposes additional reason why
each Of you should join in making fur
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Effect Is Immediate.
The conference did not adjourn until
nearly s o'clock last night, when Mr.
Mitchell announced that, after the read
ing of President Roosevelts letter, it
was agreed both by himself and the OPP
should be called.
The miners were in session recently at
indianapolis but failed to reach an
agreement with the operators. Fresi-
dent Mitchell himself has been quoted
as saying that so far as he knew there
would certainly be Il strike in the bitumi-
nous fields April !.
New Hope for Peace.
Mr.. Mitchell has not announced any
details of the conference, nor did he say
lust when the call for the convention,
which will fix the place of meeting, will
be sent out. March 10, he believes, is
the earliest date the convention can be
summoned, and he believes that if there
is to be peace the two weeks between
the date fixed for the miners assembly
and April /, when the present agreement
with the operators expires, IS sufficient
time to bring about the desired result
Mr.. Mitchell would not indicate what
new propositions will be placed before
the miners, but significance is attached
to his statement that the operators at
the conference agreed that the conven-
ton should be called.

the great stlmulant and the great de.
stroyer OF life. In fermentation,

In 1t are burning with a greater or less
degree of rapidlty. It is only when the
