ANTHRACITE MINERS

President Roosevelt Desired As

Opinions of Leaders of Miners and Cp

Strike Will Be Inevitable.

New York, Feb. 6.-President Roose-
Yelt, 1t is suggested, may be called
on in few days to use his influence
in averttng a general strike of anthra-

Opinions of the leaders of both the

indicate that without the interposition
OF some potent influence outside of
the conflicting interests, a great strike
OF greater proportions than has ever
before been known in this country, is
inevitable.
W. K. Truesdale, president of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Hudson.
said:
Il do not know that we are much
nearer a general strike than we were
six months ago. John Mitchell comes
here on Feb. Is We will find out
in detail what the union demands. For
a long time we have been mining a
great deal of anthracite coal and have
been storing large quantities, but none
has been withheld from our custo-
mers. The mildness of the winter
has enabled us to get out good deal
of coal, and has diminished the de-
mands of consumers
An officer of one of the largest an
thracite coal carrying compares said:
The strike will, in all likelihood.
take place on April l. The anthra
cite have had three years of unexam
pied prosperity since the strike was
settled. They think this was brought
about by the methods they used in the
strike of 1902. The same methods
they think, are equally good today De
mands will be made which we cannot
grant, and the strike VIII take place.
1t will not last long, as we are bet
ter prepared to handle it than we were
when the last strike started"
Another large dealer said that if
strike was ordered the operators would
