= \ j MORGAN SENDS fil BAER; GOAL STRIKE. MAY END, The Great Financial Magnate Discussed the Situation with the Man Who Has NIGHT EDITION. : GENERAL SPORTING NEWS ON PAGE 6. | aa a SSS Sa “ Circulation Books Open to All.’’ | PRICE ONE CENT. NEW YORK, All Along Stood ciliation by the Operators. After a conference which lasted nearly an hour President Baer left the private office of J. Pierpont Mor- gan this afternoon. Mr. Baer did not appear to be hap- py. He absolutely refused to discuss the nature of the business which was gone over by Mr. Morgan and him- self, but it was plain that something important had transpired. The conference of coal operators at which Mr. Baer usually presides and which was fixed for this after- noon was hastily abandoned when Mr. Baer was summoned to Mr. Mor- gan's office. The coal operators re- turned to their offices without com- ment. One official sair he had no doubt that Mr. Baer's pugnacious hostility to the miners’ unions and his out- spoken denunciation of the leaders, together with his refusal to arbitrate or entertain any suggestion of end- ing the strike had led Mr. Morgan to call him in and give him a lecture. “I wouldn't be surprised,” sald this official, “if the question of arbitra- tion would be taken up immediately. Mr. Morgan wants the strike ended. Ho does not want to excite public clamor, and the public look to him to end the trouble.” Mr. Raer was in consultation with General Manager Besler, of the New Jersey Central, for several hours to- dey. Later on he summoned Super- intendent of Transportation McIntyre to take lunch with him and talk over “important matters.” “Perhaps Baer is getting a line on the coal-carrying condition of his road. Maybe there's something do- in the Way of Con- ing,” was the comment in Wall street. An ending of the strike just now would be very disappointing to the operators from a financial stand- point. Fifty thousand tons of anthracite coal are stored at the Dodge Coal Storage Company's plant in Rochelle Park, N. J. This is the remainder of 80,000 tons which the company had on hand at the outset of the anthracite strike. The coal already disposed of has yielded the company an excess profit of $1,595,000. The statement is further made by one of the leading coal dealrs of New York that. the coal-carrying roads have 500,000 tons of coal in reserve which they are dealing out in small quantities at top-notch prices to local consumers. These facts explain the unwilling- ness of the operators to arbitrate their differences ,with the striking miners. They will be entirely pleased if the strike Jast into the winter {months and affords them an oppor- tunity to dispose of this surplus stock at present exorbitant prices. Mr. Morgan left his office for home at 4.30 P. M. He declined to discuss the nature of the conference, Mr. Baer, when he left, Mr. Mor- fan's office, went to _lineh with President Trifesdale, of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, and President Fowler, of the New York, Ontario & Western. Two coal men were present. Mr. Baer said the meeting was not prearranged and that there was no change whatever in the situation. —— COAL FAMINE IS PRACTICALLY HERE. Despite the fact that the coal roads have thoukands of tons of anthracite (Continued on Second Page.) GEN. MILES GOING | TO PHILIPPINES.

It is signed by William Cary Sanger, Acting Secretary of War, and is dated Aug, %.
