Looks FOB PEACEFUL SETTLE
MENT OF CONTROVERSY,
Believes Operators Will See Situation
in New Light-strike in Pitts
burg District.

New York, April 14.-President
Mitchell, Of the Miners anton, was
busy Friday preparing to close his
headquarters here and return to In
dianapolis. All the members Of the
general scale committee have left for
their homes in the anthracite regions
and will not be called together again
until after the operators reply to the
propositions submitted to them Thurs
day by the miners. In the face Of the
pessimistic expressions of some of the
members of the scale committee, Pres
ldept Mitchell is hopeful of a peaceful
sading Of the controversy with the
operators. He believes the operators
will make an answer which Will per-
NIT the continuance of the negotiations
instead of abruptly ending them.
President Mitchell goes to Indianapolis
to prepare for the meeting Of the in
.ernational executive board of the min
srs' union. At this meeting the propo-
sition made last week by the Ohio
operators to arbitrate the dispute be-
tween the mine owners and the strik-
ing miners In that state will be con-
sidered. - 8 j.
President Mitchell declined to dis
euss the conference. Touching the re-
ply Of the operators, Mr.. Mitchell said:
II do not consider that the reply re-
eeived from President Baer is final 1t
was written on the spur of the mo-
ment and without defsberation. 7 ex-
pect that the answer yet to come from
Mr. Baer in week or two will open
up new line, and do not think the
situation is such that there will be a
strike, There Is reason to believe that
the operators will see a new light"
Pittsburg, Pa, April 14.-The Arst
strike in the Pittsburg district under
President Feehan's administration be-
gan here Friday, when the 1,200 miners
employed at the Great Lakes Coal COM
pany, at Kaylor, Pa, quit work by Or
der Of the district officials. The re-
fusal Of the company to agree to GER
tain concessions asked for by the mine
workers and included In the 1908 scale
was the cause of the strike.
Athens, o., April 1.-THE dead work
scale agreed upon for the Hooking dis
trict by the joint committee of miners
and operators was formally ratified
Friday by the convention Of miners.
The result is that all the mines of

Local Sentiment Must
Yield, Thinks Toxic

TOXIC. Dec. 5.-The clear. firm. de-
termined attitude of President Roose-
welt in ais message in reference to the
San Francisco school question and anti
japanese sentiment IS warmly praised.
1t is felt here that however much the
San Francisco school authorities may
be affected by local sentiment, they
must ultimately yield to the moral
weight which President Roosevelt's
message carries.
The Kokumin Shimbun says edi-
torially that the San Francisco school
question presents a complicated aspect
with reference to the fundamental
principles OF the Federal Government
and unequivocally reveals one OF the
weak points of the American political
organization The editor believes that
a prompt settlement of the unfortu-
nate affair would have been better for
all concerned. but he does not think
the outcome is altogether hopeless. as
the energetic President Roosevelt prob
ably will not fail to adjust the matter.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1906-12-06

the stand that the japanese are being
Disseminated against.
Professor T. Hengst1er, lecturer on
constitutional and international law at
the University of California. argues. on
the other hand. that California has a
right to make whatever laws regulat-
ing her control OF schools that she sees
ht. and that while Roosevelt's recon-
mendations may be big. humanitarian
and good politics. they cannot be legal
1y enforced
The Japanese of San Francisco quite
naturally hail the message of the Presi-
dent as the manifesto of a statesman
commanding universal admiration. They
say that the naturalization OF Japanese
would be a guarantee of permanent
peace between the peoples Of the United
States and Asia.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1906-12-06

forbidden to enter Japan. The Pres
ident and Secretary of State Root
believe that this is the best possible
way of settling the immediate trouble
and avoiding more serious friction in
the future. The latter possibility is
one which the President is especially
anxious to avoid. 1t is apparent that
the intense anti-Japanese feeling on
the Pacific Coast will grow stronger
and that unless something is done to
avert a clash rupture will come soon
er or later.
The fact that Japan is willing to
enter into an agreement for the exclu-
sion of her subjects from this country
may create surprise in some quarters
MAY EXCLUDE LABORERs.
Japan wants to keep her people at
home for the development of native in

British ACquiesCe in
Presidents Opinions

LONDON. Dec. 5.-President Roose-
velt's declaration in his message to
Congress yesterday on the treatment
accorded Japanese In the San Francis
co schools especially appeals to the
British at the present time. because in
both South Africa and South Austria
liza there exists a similar anti-Asiatic
feeling. which has created embarrass-
ment for the imperial authorities.
During the present week the home
Government vetoed a Transvaal or
dinance further restricting the privi-
leges Of British Indians. even those
long resident In the country. while
quite recently the Government refused
to accept an Australian proffer OF a
preferential tariff provided the goods
were shipped in vessels not employing
yellow seamen."
The newspapers here point out that
the western States OF America have
no monopoly OF the anti-Asiaticisn
saying that the Presidents remarks
convey lesson which might well be
laid to heart in other quarters than
that to which it is directly addressed.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1906-12-06

dustries and the Korean and Manchu-
rian interests. She is especially op-
posed to the expatriation of Japanese
subjects. With these things in view
and the knowledge that it will be made
to appear that Japan seeks an exclu-
sion law, the position of that nation
will be better understood. Although
the treaty of 1894 with Japan gives to
this Government the authority to ex-
clude Japanese laborers the Govern
ment has no intention OF taking ad-
vantage OF this power.
without debate the Senate today
adopted a resolution calling on the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor to
furnish the Senate copies of all official
letters, kilograms. reports, ETC., filed in
the department in connection with the
investigation OF the matter of Japanese

light of naturalization have been
greeted in San Francisco with
amazernent. No Presidential mes
sage has been so much discussed
here. Yesterday it was the talk
of the streets, and discussion con-
corning it ranged from the contro-
versies of lawyers and lawmakers
to the offhand comment of the
general public.
That the President was actuated by
the sincerest and most laudable mo-
tives in making the recommendations
is everywhere conceded. but that he
has applied the lash to California with
peculiar harshness is likewise believed.
San Francisco. with due difference
to President Roosevelt. questions the
justice of the executive scolding. and
is asking itself if the moral lesson con-
tanned in his message might not better
be conveyed through another medium
than the Big Stick. That. at any
rate. is the view of the average lay
man
ohcials concerned in the school ques
tion dispute were kept busy yesterday
preparing the matter for presentation
in court United States District Attor-
ney Devlin. acting for Secretary Of
State Root. is taking the stand that the
school exclusion is a violation Of the
treaty between the United States and
the island empire of his Imperial High
ness Musuhito. which treaty guaran-
tees to the subjects of the latter the
