Letter of President.
 White House,


 Washington. D. c. Feb. 2A
 Sir--I 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 bttus minous mining scale of wages. 1ou in this business have enjoyed great industrial 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 is a menace to the peace and general welfare of the country. urge you to make a further effort to avoid such a calamity.
 You and Mir. Robbins are joint chaiT- men of the trade agreement committee of the National Civic Federation and 1t seems to me that this imposes addi- tioual duty upon you both and gives an additional reason why each of you should join in making further enort.
 Very respectfully.
 Theodore Roosevelt.
 The eonference did moi adjourn until nearly o'clock tonight. when Mir Mitchell announced that after ths reading of President Roosevelt's letter. it was agreed both by himself and ths operators that the national convention should be called.
 Recent Convection Futile.
 The miners were in session recently at Indianapolis. but failed to reach an agreement with the operators. Presi- dent Mitchell himself has been quoted as saving that SO far as he knew, there would certainly be a strike in the bituminous field April 1.
 The negotiations for an agreement between the hard coal workers and the anthracite operators have been pro- gressinE smoothly to all outward ap- pearances, and arrangements have been made for a joint conference between the sub-conmittees having the settle ment of the difficulties in hand. With the anthracite negotiations well under way President Mitchell has been de- voting most of his time to bringing about settlement of differences in soft coal regions.
 MT. Mitchell has not announced any details of today's conference, nor did he say just when the call for the cons vention, which will fix the place or meeting, will be sent out. March lbs he believes, is the earliest date the con- vention can be summoned. and he De- lieyes that if there is to be peace the two weeks between the date nxed Tor the miners assembly and April l, when the present agreement with the opera tors 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 attacneu to his statement that the operators az l today's conference agreed that the con- | vention should be called
