PRESIDENT INTERVENES. It was a remarkable chapter in the economic history of the country that was written to-day. For the first time the President of the republic had intervened | directly between the great forces of capi- | tal and labor in an effort to avert what { be himself regarded as a great national | calamity. The result was to bring the principals in the great controversy face |to face, with the whole country eagerly lintent and watchful of their doings. Tech- nically the issues between the two great forces stand as they did before the Presi- dent summoned the representatives of the contending forces to the national capital |and, forgetting his own acute suffering, | besought them for love of the great country wherein they dwelt and out of pity for the countless throng of suffering poor to adjust their differences and work together in peace for the common weal. What, if anything, will result from the conference is for the indefinite future, | To-day the views of the contenders in the | great industrial struggle were so extreme and wide apart that there was no middle ground possible, and so the conference |came to an end without any agreement for its continuation. The conference had lasted six hours, including a recess of | three hours between the morning and aft- | ernoon sessions, taken to enable the min- | ers‘and operators to prepare written re- sponses to the President’s appeal. STRUGGLE WILL CONTINUE. The immediate parties to the struggle say they will continue as "heretofore. ‘What course the administration will take next no one is prepared to say. One of the operators, as he left the White House, was asked regarding this and replied: “If | any one knows what the President will do next, that is more than I know.” | . Fourteen mien, including the President, were in the second-story front room at the temporary White House during the ~momentous conference. President Mit- chell and three of his district leaders rep- resented the miners and five raflroad men and one independent mine operator the employers. With the President were At- torney General Knox, Commissioner of Labor Wright and Secretary Cortelyou. All the Cabinet, save the Attorney Gen- eral, kept aloof during the conference, but | between the two meetings and afterward several of the President’s advisers called | upon him to talk over the situation. During the conference the President | listened to both sides with the greatest eagerness. Immediately after its ad- journment his physiclan, Surgeon General Rixey, and Dr. Lung !nsisted on making an examination of his wound and redress- ing it. Apparently no ill effects had re- sulted from the excitement of the day and after a later call at 8 o’clock Dr. Lung an- nounced that the President’s condition was satisfactory. It was 4:55 o’'clock when the conference ended. The operators came downstairs |and held a brief consultation and then | left in their carriages for their train, where they met a number of newspaper men, to whom they furnished copies of the statements they had made to the President. STILL REFUSE COMPROMISE. | Stipulating that they should not be | quoted, they talked quite freely ‘of the 1 conference. Several of them declared the interference of the President had resulted in retarding rather than forwarding the settlement. They asserted that no pro- gress had been made and said they would | return to continue the contest. They de- | clared that the situation was most seri- ous as to coal supply, but’sald that the | coal would be furnished to the public and | that if given protection they could’ get | men to mine coal to at least 70 per-cent of the mines' capacity. - They declared there would be no compromise and ‘that the strike would continue until the miners succumb. They asserted their determina- tion to make no concessions further:than | the offers already made. | The operators will leave in the early hours of Saturday morning and President IBler said he expected to be in New York g cily by 9§ o'clock Saturday morning. During the evening President Mitchell conference. Following 1s the text of Mr. Mitchell's statement: At the morning session of the conference be- tween the mine operators and the committee representing the miners President Roosevelt outlined the purpose for which he had called the operators and the miners together. After the President concluded his statement the miners at once proposed to refer the questions &nd issues of the coal strike to the President for adjustment, but this proposition was after- ward rejected by the operators. At the afternoon session the miners sub- mitted a formal statement of their proposition. To_this proposition each of the operators read a reply in which they refused to accept. the services of the President or of a tribunal to be appointed by him to determine the issue of the strike, and in each of their statements they in- dulged in a perfect tirade of abuse of the miners' organization. and its effects.' It was evident to the miners’ representatives that the coal operators were without regard for .their former employes and of the public, Whith ls suffering s0.much for the lack of fuel, As a consequence of this refusal of the opera- tors either to grant concessions or to refer to individual arbitration, the coal strike will on.

R MERITS NOT ARGUED. In reply to questions Mitchell said that the President had said nothing in reply to the proposition of the miners to submit the question to arbitration, but he added that their offer was in the line of the President’s suggestion for an immediate settlement of the dispute. He also said that the merits of the strike had not been entered upon at any length, as all were familiar with the questions at issue. Referring to the manner of conducting the strike in the future he said he thought it would proceed hereafter about as ‘it had proceeded in the past. Deep interest was manifested in the con- ference on the part of the public. The sidewalks and street in front of the tem- porary White House were thronged with people who anxiously awaited the result. Newspaper men lined either side of the entrance to the White House, -from its doors to the street. There was a distinct expression of dis- appointment in the crowd when it be- came known that the conference had been unsuccessful and no agreement had been reached. At the White House an Associated Press reporter endeavored to get an authorita- tive statement giving the views of the President upon the proceedings and re- sult of the conference. An official state- ment giving a stenographic report of the formal statements and proceedings were made public, but announcement was made that the President had no comment to make thereon. The suggestion was made in adminis- tration circles, though not as coming from the President, that the result had been to arouse and concentrate public senti- ment. One of the President’s advisers who was seen intimates that some consideration had been given before the conference to the question of the future course of the administration in the event either party refused absolutely to do anything toward a settlement. He intimated that there was a possibility that the Interstate Com- merce Commission might be able to take some steps with respect to carrying charges on the anthracite coal roads. Still, public sentiment, he added, was the chief resource of the President as to both parties to the strike. A I T DETAILS OF CONFERENCE. Statements Submitted by Operators and United Mine-Workers. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—The second step in the President’s efforts to effect a settlement between the anthracite coal magnates and the miners was taken to- day. At 11:10 o'clock, ten minutes after the hour fixed for the conference, every person who had been invited to partici- pate, with the exception of President Oli- phant of the Delaware and Hudson, who sent as his personal representative David ‘Wilcox, vice president and general coun- sel of the road, and President Cassatt of the Pennsylvania road, was present in the second-story front room of the temporary executive mansion. The President during the conference was seated in a large in- valid chair, his left leg, extended at full length, resting upon a cushion. The Pres- ident greeted most cordially each of his guests, and when all were assembled he stated to them in a brief preliminary way his object in calling them together. The President fully realized the importarice of the statement that he was to make, and had prepared a carefully worded pa- per setting forth in detail his position in the pending controversy. 9 John Mitchell and his party were the first to arrive® at the White House, and they came a few minutes before the time fixed, Shortly after 11 ‘o’clock President George F. Baer of the Reading, President Thomas of the Erie and President Trues- dale of the Lackawanna drove up in a carriage.. They were soon followed by President Fowler' of 'the “Ontario and Western, John Markle of the firm of G. B. Markle & Co. and David Wilcox of the Delaware and Hudson. President A. J. of the Mine Workers' Union dictated a formal statement concerning the proceed- ings of the conference and its resuilts, in % which he announced that the strike would continue as a result of the failure of the + PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED MINE ‘WORKERS OoF AMERICA. — Cassatt of the Pennsylvania, who had been invited, sent a telegram to Presi- ‘dent Roosevelt explaining his inability to be present. L L At ten minutes after 11 o'clock the two-| |delegations were escorted upstairs, ‘the labor leaders going first. Attorney Gen- eral Knox and Labor - Commissioner ‘Wright remained with the President. ‘When “the President concluded the reading. of his statement he said he did not expect that either party would be ready to submit propositions at this time, but he asked them to take into consider- ation what he had said and to return at 8 o'clock. He said he hoped that some proposition might be presented at that time which would furnish the basis of an adjustment. The conference then ter- minated. It had lasted less than fifteen minutes, At 3 o'clock, the hour set for the re- sumption of the conference, President Baer, with two of his fellow co-presi- dents, drove up to the White House. Mitchell and his three colleagues ap- peared a few minutes later. BAER’S STATEMENT. George F. Baer, president of the Read- ing Rallroad, made the appended state- ment: To the President of the United States: We understand your anxiety is forcibly expressed in the statement you read to us this morning, tc bring about ‘‘an immediate resumption of operations in the coal mines In some such way as will, without a day's unnecessary delay, meet the crying needs of the people.”” We n- fer that you desired us to consider the cffer cf Mr. Mitchell verbally made this morning, expressing and speaking for the United Mine Workers, to go back to work if you would appoint a commiseion to determine the ques- tion at issue, You distinctly say that you “do not invite a discussion of your respective claims and positions.”” But we assume that a statement of what is going on in the coal regions will not be frrelevant. We represent the owners of coal mines in Pennsylvania. There are from 15,000 to 20,000 men at work in mining and preparing coal. .They are abused, assault- ed, injured and maltréated by the United Mine Workers. - They cam only work-under the pro- tection of armed guards. Thousands of other workmen are deterred from working by the intimidation, vice and crimes inaugurated by the United Mine Workers, over whom John Myibsherl, Swnom | 708 invited us to meet, Is chief. ~I need not picture the daily crimes com- OTECTION i | PRESIDENT’S STATETENT AT CONFERENCE WISH to call your attention to the fact that there are three parties affected by the situstion in the anthracite trade—the ope- rators, the miners and the general public.. I speak for neither the operatdrs nor the miners, but_Zor the gencral public. The questions at issue which led to the situation affect immediately the parties con- miners; but the situation itself vitally affects the public. As Iong =s there scemed to be a reasonable hope that these tween the parties it did not seem proper for me to inter- vene in any way. I disclaim any right or duty to intervene in this swway upon legal grounds or upon any official relation that I bear to the situation, but the urgemey and the terrible nature of the catastrophe im- pending over o large portion of our people in the shape of a winter fuel famine impel me after much anxious thought to believe that my duty requires me to use whatever influence I personaliy can bring to effect a mettlement of the situation which has become literally in- tolerable. I wish to emphasize the character of the situation and to say that its character is such that I am constrained urgently to insist that each one of you realize the heavy burden of responsibility upon him. . We are upon the thres-, hold of winter with an already existing coal famine, the fu- ture terrors of which we can hardly yet appreciate. The evil possibilities are so far- reaching, so appalling, that it seems to me that you are not only justified in sinking, but required to sink, for the time being, any temacity as to your respective clnims in the mat- ter nt issue between you. In my judgment the situation im- peratively requires that you meet upon the common plane of the necessities of the public. With all the earnestness that there is in me I ask that there be an immediate resumption of operations in the coal mines in some such way as will without a day’s unnecessary delay meet the crying needs of the people. I do not invite a discussion of your respective claims and positigns. I appeal to your patriotism, to the spirit that sinks personal considerations I and makes individual sacri- fices for the general good. R mitted by tbe members of this organization.

Mitchell then submitted the following: WASHINGTON, Oct. 3, 1902.—Mr. Presiden At the conference- this morning we, " the a credited representatives of the anthracite coal mine workers, were much impressed with the views you expi:ssed and the dangers to the welfare of our country from a prolongation of the coal strike that ypu so clearly pointed out. Conscious of the responsibility resting | upon us, conscious’of our duty to soclety, con- | sclous of our obligations to the 150,000 mine | | workers whom we have the honor to represent, we have, after most careful consideration, and | with the hope of relieving the situation and | averting the sufferings ana hardship which | would inevitably follow in the wake of a coal famine, decided to propose a resumption of coal mining upon the lines hereinafter sug- | gested. | Before doing so, Mr. President, we. desire to | say that we are not prompted to suggest this | course because of any doubts of the justice of our claims. In deferring to your wishes we are prompted by no-fear on our part of our ability to continue the contest to a suc- cessful issue. Thanks to the generous assisti- ance rendered us by our fellow-workers in this and other lands; thanks to a justice-lov- | ing merican public, whose sympathies are always on_the side of right, we are able to continue the struggle 'indefinitely. But, con- fident of our ability to demonstrate to any | impartial tribunal the equity of our demands for higher wages and improved environment, to waste time negotiating with the fomenters of this anarchy and (nsolent deflance of law, but to do as was done in the war of ‘the rebellion, restore the,majesty of the only guardian of a free people and to re-estabiish order and peace The Government is a contempti- ble failure if it can only protect the lives and property and secure the comfort of the peo- ple by compromising with the violatars of law teach ignorant men dwelling among us, misled and used as tools by citizens of other States, that inconvenience to the publie Pennsylvania will use the whole power of the Government to protect not only the man who wants to work, but his wife and children while he is at work, and to punish every man who by instigation or by overt acts attempts to deprive any man of his liberty to We propose that the jssues culminating in this | strike shall be referred to you and a tribunai of your own eelection, and agree to accept | your award upon all or any of the questions involved. If you will accept this responsipility and the representatives of the coal opesators will signify their willingness to have your de- cision incorporated in an agreement, for not less than one year or more than five years, as may be mutually determined between them- selves and the anthracite coal mine workers, and will pay the scale of wages which you and the tribunal appointed by you shall award, we will immediately call a convention and recommend a resumption of work, upon the understanding that the wages which shall be paid are to go-into effect from the day" upen which work is resumed. Very. respecttully yours, D. D. NICHOLLS, District Presidents U. M. W. ASKS FOR PROTECTION. President Thomas, of the Erie Railroad, read the following: No one can more fully realize the gravity of the situation or the grave responsibilities rest- ing upon them than men who for months have been seeking to protect the property uncer their charge, as well as the lives of loyal e ployes, from’ the attacks of misguided men cited by people forel to the State and to t industry we are seeking to defend. We are doing all in our power and with increasing success, to mine conl. Mr. Mitchell and his lieutenants are doing all in their power to pre- vent it. We ask that such efforts- cease, or failing, that the State of Pennsylvania, and it she is unable, the powers of the. United States shall be exerted to afford full protection to employes not only while at work, but to and from their homes, as well as to their families: and that the reign of terror, riots, Intimidation and murder which for wmonths has prevailed in the anthracite region shall cease. A record of twenty killed and forty injured and constant and increasing destruction of dwellings, works, machinery and railroads by mob violence, with no proper enforcement of the law or order by the proper officials, is not the time to act on Mr. Mitchell's suggestion of this morning to arbitrate with men not in our employ. There sre over 17,000 loyal employes at work in and | around the anthracite mines, and since this conference has.been called open threats are current in that region that such men will neither be permitted to work nor live in that country. We are contending for the right of.the American citizen to work, without regard to creed, natiopality or association. ; To seek to prevent this is a crime, and we cannot by Im- plication sanction such a course. We ask the enforcement of law and order in the State, that -we be permitted to deal with our em- ployes free from foreign interference, con- wvinced that .under such conditions we.can fully perform our full duty to the public, our I fully concur | - .
