Senator Reed Shoots advisers in
Salt Lake who have been directing the
collection of evidence in his behalf and
otherwise cooperating with the sena-
tors attorney, a. S. Worthington, au-
thOrized the statement yesterday that
the defense is proceeding as rapidly as
possible in the preparation OF its case
Noting the urgency OF Chairman J. c,
burrows of the elections committee.
the defense has been hurrying as much
as possible, but il has been found neces-
sary TO make inquiries over a cOnsid-
cradle portion Of the state, some Of
them IN inaccessible places. This has
neceSSitated letters to a great number
of people who have been referred to in
the recent evidence, and incidentally IL
mas required the preparation Of large
number OF aftldaVits which will require
signatures and attestation.
AffidaVits Are Suggested.
In considering the last evidence for
the prosecution the defense has been
confronted with one of two aIterna-
tives; Either the defense must rely
largely upon affidavitS to rebuff some Of
the testimony, or it will have to take a
great number Of witnesses to Washing
ton. The testimony can be met in m
other way except by the witnesses De--
sOnally or by affidavit
The defense claims that some of the
testimony is inaccurate. and affecting
a large number Of people. as it does.
the testimony in rebuttal will reuuirs
considerable time. Naturally. the de-
tense does not wish to let this tessi-
mony go without contradiction and IS
working enersetically to get the state
ment of witnesses and procure affida-
Wits as to the facts.
Prosecution Will Consent.
There has been some question as ID
whether Senator SmOOt would be al
lowed to present affidavits in rebuttaI
when the prosecution would prefer TO
have his witnesses take the stand and
undergo crOss-examinatiO ton. It is stated
authOritatively, however, that the pros
ecUtiOn will accept the affidavfts and
not insist on personal evidence in be-
half of the senator.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Convention Called.

The conference did not adjourn until
nearly o'clock tonight, when Mr.
Mitchell announced that after the
reading of President ROOSevelt'S let
ter it was agreed, both by himself
and the operators, that the national
convention should be called. The min
eTs were in session recently at In
dianapolis, but failed to reach an
agreement with the operators. Pres
ident Mitchell himself has been quoted
as saying that, so far as he knows,
there would certainly be a strike in
the bituminous fields April l.
The negotiations for an agreement
between the hard coal workers and the
anthracite operators have been pro-
crossing smoothly to. all outward APP
pearances, and arrangements have
been made for a joint conference We'd
nesday between the subcommittee
having the settlement of the difficult
ties in hand.
With the anthracite negotiations well
under way President Mitchell has been
devoting most of his time to bringing
about a settlement of the differences
in the soft coal regions.

President Once More Acts as Peace
maker Between the Coal Com.
panies and the Miners.
CONVENTION Is CALLED
GREAT STRIKE MAY NOT OCCUR
AFTER ALL.

New York, Feb 26.-President
Roosevelt has again interviewed as a
peacemaker between the coal miners
and operators, and as the result of
a letter addressed by him to John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, national con-
Vention of the United Mine Workers
will be held on March 10 to try 70
reach an agreement with the soft coal
operators in the hope of averting the
threatened strike of April 1 in the BIZ
luminous coal fields.
The presidents letter and the an
nOuncement that the national conven-
ton would be called were made pub
lie tonight by Mr.. Mitchell after a
long conference with Francis L. Rob-
bins, president of the Pittsburg Coal
company, and chairman of the btu
minOus operators, who came to New
York this morning. Also present at
this conference We're w. c. Perry Of
the Southwestern Coal association, and
B. +. Bush, representing the soft coal
interests allied with the Gould rail-
roads.
RooseveIt's Letter.
Inc presidents letter to Mr.. Mitchell
is as follows:
l note with very great concern the
failure of your late convention on the
joint interstate agreement to come to
a basis of settlement of the bitumi-
nous mining scale of wages. You in
this business have enjoyed a great in
dustrtal 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 1st is a menace to the peace and
general welfare of the country. I urge
you to make a 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 a
further effort.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-02-27
At an Early Date.

Mr. Mitchell has not announced any
details of today's conference, nor did
he say just when the call for the con-
vention, 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 1,
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
tOday's conference agreed that the
convention should be called. Conces-
siOns may be made on both sides, and
President Roosevelt's interest in the
situation viii be held as an additional
reason for bringing about a new agree
ment.
