Roosevelt stnI Adheres To Original
 Railway Rate Ideas.
 Washington, May. 6.--President Roosevelt today reiterated his views on railroad rate legislation in a telegram sent to the Legislative Committee of the Pennsylvania State Grange The telegram follows:
 Washington, May G.
 W. F. Hill, and Members Legislative
 Committee. Pennsylvania State
 Grange:
 Telegram received. am happy to tell you that not only am standing on my original proposition as regards rate legislation, but 1t seems likely that Congress will take this position too. The Hepburn bill meets my views as have from the beginning stated. Tho Allison amendment Is only declarAtory of what the Hepburn bill must mean. supposing 1t to be constitutional, and no genuine friend of the bill can object to 1t without stultifying himself.
 Tn addition, should be glad to got certain amendments. such as those com monly known as the Long and Overman amendments, but they are not vital, and even without them the Hepburn bill with the Allison amendments contains practically exactly what we have both originally and always since asked for. and If enacted Into law 1t will repre- sent the longest step ever yet taken in the direction of solving the railway rate problem.
 (Signed) Theodore Roosevelt"

 Scranton. Pa, May 6.-Nothing de- veloped today to disturb the general belief that a strike of the anthracite mine workers had been averted.
 There seems to be every assurance that the scale committee of the or- ganization which will go to New York early tomorrow morning for a con- ference with the operators will be as- sured by the latter that there will be no discrimination shown in case the men are ordered back to work and that the term the agreement is to last will be readily agreed upon.
 The sub scale committee Is composed of President Mitchell. the three district Presidents and the three district Sec retaries They will return to this city from New York after the conferences tomorrow afternoon and will report to the convention Tuesday morning at special session to be held in Music Hall. It is expected that the convention will ratify their report and vote for a re- sumption of work on Monday, May IA. under the award of the anthracite strike commission.
 While President Mitchell would pre- fer an agreement for two years, both he and the other members of the com mittee. 1t is understood, will bow to the wishes of the operators and accept an agreement for three years if the latter so desire 1t.
