No Answer to Roosevelt.

TRENTON, y. j., March 20-President
Taft had an opportunity to look over
Col. RooseveIt's views on presidential
preferential primaries on the way to
Trenton from New York.
Although the President made no COM
ment friends who Travelled with him be-
leved that no statement in answer to
that from Oyster Bay would be issued
either from the White House or the Taft
campaign bureau in Washington.
Recently. IL was pointed out. MIR. Taft
directed Representative Mckinley, head
OF the campaign bureau, to abandon all
form of personal attack on Col. Roose
Welt.
1t is probable any answer he wishes to
present TO the country will be in the
form of a speech. The President has
several engagements To speak in the next
few weeks.

TAFT To- SEEK LIGHT
Conference With Mitchell on
Threatened Strike Probable.
WALKOUT is NOT DESIRED
Trouble in Coal Fields This Year
Might Hurt the
Republicans.

President Taft probably will take steps
to gather information in regard to the
proposed coal strike as soon as he reaches
Washington from his New England trip.
Mr.. Taft has no legal authority to inter
vene to avert the threatened strike. He
can. however upon his own initiative hold
conferences with prominent mine oper-
ators and officers of the miners union To
keep informed of the situation.
Secretary of Commerce and Labor Ma
gel called at the White House this morn
ing. but was unable to see Mr.. Taft be-
cause he had not reached WASHINGTON.
Mr.. Nagel said that he had not been Of
ficially informed of the probable confer
Ience on Friday between President Taft
and John Mitchell. former president of
the United Mine Workers of America, but
with the President Immediately after his
return.
The Presidents arrival was DELAYED by
the heavy fog in New York harbor, which
made it necessary for the President
party to cross New York city in an auto
mobile instead of making the trip from
Mott Haven to Jersey City on a float He
arrives here at 3:15 o'clock this after
noon.
Would Be Damaging.
According to the present plan, Mr.
Mitchell will call upon President Taft
Friday to discuss proposed means Of
averting the threatened strike. President
Taft and his advisers realize that a coal
strike. with the complete tie-up of the
railroads and business which would en-
sue. would be damaging to the republican
party in presidential year
Following his conference with Mr..
Mitchell Mr.. Taft probably will discuss
the subject with other operators and
union officials. The question probably
will be discussed at the Friday cabinet
meeting.
When the last big coal strike occurred
former President Roosevelt used his good
OFFICES in bringing the two sides to the
dispute together, and through the ap-
pointment of commission was successful
in bringing the strike to conclusion.
Officials of the federal government,
which will be seriously Inconvenience by
q coal strike. already have informally dis
cussed the question among themselves
Secretary Nagel has talked over the
situation with Commissioner of Labor
Charles P. Neill. Secretary of the Navy
Meyer also has gathered Information as
to the possible sources of a coal supply
in case of an anthracite strike.
