New York, April i.--Anthracite
coal operators believe that the sus-
pension of work in the hard coal
region which went into effect today
will not continue long and That the
coming meeting Of the operators
committee and representatives of
the miners on April 40 in Philadel-
phia will result in a basis Of settle
ment. This belief is strengthened,
the operators say, by the fact that
there have been no traces Of bitter
ness shown on either side and that
this makes a satisfactory adjust
ment of difficulties much easier.

Senator Robert Love Taylor came
from an office-holding family, his
first public position being as con-
gresham from the district his
father represented at one time, and
which also sent Alfred A. Taylor, a
brother of the senator, to congress.
Senator Taylor first came into
nationwide notice by defeating his
brother, Alfred, for governor of
Tennessee. "Fiddlin' Bob" being the
Democratic and his brother the Re-
publican nominee.
A biographical sketch written by
Senator Taylor for the congrtssrpn-
al diret 'ory says
Robert Love Taylor, Democrat,
of Nashville. Tenn, was born July
81, 1850, at Happy Valley, Carter
county, Tennessee, at the place on
the Wautauga river where the first
fort was established by John Sc
vier; is the son of Nathaniel G. lay
lor, member of congress and COM
missioner OF Indian affairs under
President Johnson, and Emily
Haynes Taylor sister of Landon c.
Haynes, Confederate senator from
Tennessee; was first elected to the
forty-sixth congress from the first
district in 1878; Cleveland elector
from state at large in 1881; pension
agent at Knoxville in 1885; elected
governor Of Tennessee in 1896 and
reelected in 1888; Cleveland elector
at large again in 1892; elected gov
ernor for third term in 1896; as a
lawyer; represented the district in
congress represented before him by
his father, Nathaniel g. Taylor, and
after him by his brother, Alfred G.
Taylor, the latter of whom he de-
feated for governor in 1886; was
nominated for the United States
senate in the Democratic primary
May. 1906, and elected in January,
1907, by the almost unanimous vote
of the Legislature"
A Picturesque Figure.
Senator Taylor was picturesque
figure in politics, and he virtuellv
won his way into the hearts Of the
people of Tennessee by his ability
to play the violin, or fiddle" as
he called it, He campaigned most
with the fiddle, frequently refrain
ing from making an address. He
was opposed for the senatorship by
the late Senator Carmack, defeating
Carmack by 1000 votes.
In 1910 the Tennessee Democrats
split, and Senator Taylor consented
to again make the race for COVER
nor, in the hope that his popular
ity would lead the Democrats to
victory. This was the only politi-
cal race Senator Taylor ever en-
tered from which he did not en-
erge victorious. A coalition of
Democrats and Republicans beat
Senator Taylor and elected the
present governor, Ben Hooper.
Was Married Three Times.
Senator Taylors first wife was a
niece of Senator Vance Of North
Carolina. His second marriage was
unhappy, but his third was all that
could be desired. The widow was
a daughter of a childhood sweet
heart of Senator Taylor. Parental
objection prevented wedding, and
both sought other mates. In later
years the senator met, wooed and
won the daughter of his childhood
sweetheart, and she has been per-
fectly devoted to him.
Mrs. Charles r. Hyde, wife OF the
pastor of the Central Presbyterian
church at Little Rock, is among the
cousins of Senator Taylor.
Than Senator Taylor, there IS
probably no public man more wide
ly known or generally beloved IN
the south.
