They Meet in Secret Conference and Make Arrangements to Conduct Steel Trust Affairs While Mr. Schwab Is on a Long “Vacation” in Europe— Mr. Morgan Isn't Bothered by the Coal Strike. Charles M. Schwab received word from J. Pierpon Morgan at noon to-day that the King of Finance would be glad to have the Steel King call on him. Mr. Schwab hur- ried through the business he was attending to in his office in the Arcade Building, and he walked down to the Drexel Building, where Mr. Morgan sat in his private office. Other visitors were told that Mr. Morgan was busy and no one was admitted while Mr. Schwab was in the: room until half an hour had elapsed. : At the end of the half hour Mr. Morgan pushed a but- ton and his attendant then allowed Charles Steele and George W. Perkins, of the Steel Trust, and Clement A. Griscom and P. A. B. Widener, who are interested in other big Morgan holdings, to enter. It was learned that during the secret conference between Mr. Morgan and Mr. Schwab the latter gave his reasons for desiring to retire for a time from the duties of head of the Steel Trust. These appeared to be entirely satisfactory to Mr. Morgan. MORGAN HOLDS QUT NO ; HOPE TO END COAL STRIKE.. “I don’t know anything about the coal strike, How should I settle it?
