INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 4.—The coal situstion probably will be saved by President Roosevelt. There is now mo that he has been at work for days through mem authorized to speak for him and bopes to bring about an agreement between the opera- tors and the miners, e President may not appear upon the surface in the negotiations which will be begun a week from next Thurs- authoritatively that this meeting wa: brought about on the suggestion of Mr. Roosevelt. When the national officers of the Mix Union departed from this city last night few of them believed that a general strike could be averted. Those who remained over, including President Mitchell, take a different view and this was brought abgut by information which led the national officers to be- lieve that the new conferense will bring about an adjustment of all dif- ferences The movement for peace is to be a business proposition. From what was heard this evening there will be littie publicity. ~Some sort of arrangément has - been niade within ' twenty-four hours between the operators and the conference is based. Mitchell de- clined to say to newspaper men what had caused the change since yesterday, “We are hoping for the best Mem- bers of the national executive board of the mine workers have reason to be- lieve that there will be no strike. Per- spnally, I would venture to make the prediction without qualification, but the natfonal officers have been disappointed so0 often in conferences with the opera- tors that, perhaps, I ought to hesitate in making a positive statement. From information which has come to me to- day I regard it as probable that the agreement at the meeting to be held on the 15th of this month.” “Is it true, as rumored, that President Roosevelt has brought about this new situation?” “The President is a warm friend of the Miners’ Union and his influence with the operators and the coal-carry- ing roads no doubt wiil have great ef- fect in harmonizing the differences which exist. [ cannot speak for the but friends of the adminis- astrous strike this country has eve known. I am inclined to be optimistic.” It was intimated at the national head- uarters of the United Mine Workers to-day that before the adjournment of the present session of the executive board.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4—Hundreds of thou- sands of dollars saved by the Cigar- makers’ Union for strike purposes may be used instead to build comfortable homes for the workingmen if a plan now under consideration by the organization receive a favorable vote from the 20,000 members, The scheme, which s a wide departure from union oustoms, embraces the turning of the entire surplus in the'clgarmakers’ treasury into a big loan fund. This is to be dealt out to individual members in amounts sufficient to enable them to build and own houses of their own, or, if they choose, to start in business for them- selves. Leading officials in the union have in- dorsed the plan. In order for it to be- come operative, however, a referendum vote must be had, and this will require several months. In the clgarmakers’ treasury there is said to be more than $500,000, If portioned out in loans of $500 to each person, it is figured, one workingman out of every twenty in the union could be provided with a home for himself and his family. ——— ITALY SAID TO HAVE MADE TREATY WITH MONTENEGRO Reported That Rome Government Seeks to Break Down Austria’s Power in the Balka VIENNA, Feb. 4.—It is reported that a military econvention has been con- cluded between Italy and Montenegro for the purpose of breaking down Aus- tria’s predominating influence in the Balkans, but nelther confirmation nor denial of it can be obt’ined in official circles here 'BODIES OF DAKIN AND HENNESSY ARE BORNE OF THE SAN | FRANCISCO FIRE DEPARTMENT.
