Mitchell and His Deputies Furnish Plans—President’s Speech Cre-— ates a Profound Impression—He Declares that the Situation is Appalling and Immediate Relie Is Needed. (Special to The Evening World from Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—The coal con- — ference ended at 6 o’clock. The coal operators refused to make any statement as they left the White House. They said that if anything was given out it would have to come from the President. John Mitchell said when he came out: “There has been no settlement.’’ Mitchell Was Willing to Leave the Whole a ter in the Hands of the President, but the Oner- ators Would Not Make a Single Concession. Each of the operators went into the conference with written statement setting forth his views. The delay in arriving of the last three of the operators was due to the fact that they had but only one typewrit with them. These statements were prepared at the y= of the President, who said he believed their ideas could b more succinctly stated in that way. President Mitchell and his delegation followed a si course. As matters now stand it is plain that the situation has. been put right up to the door of the coal operators. The President, in appealing to the patriotism of the conferrees, has left no chance for possible evasion. k The operators are now discussing a plan said to have been suggested by the President, and they will report on i when the conference reassembles this afternoon. SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT. ; The conference got down to business at 11 o'clock. There © were few preliminaries. Mr. Roosevelt seemed to be fully aware ~ of the remarkable precedent which he was establishing, and he spcke in slow, deliberate tones as he said: “I wish to call your attention to the fact that there are three parties en, affected by the situation in the anthracite trade: The operators, the miuera and the general public, “The question at issue which led to the situation affects immediately — the parties concerned—the operators and the miners; but the situations - self vitally affects the public. “As long as there seemed to be a reasonable hope that these mati could be adjusted between the parties it did not seem proper to me to inter= vene in any way. i disclaim any right or duty to intervene in this way upon legal grounds or upon an official relation that I bear to the situation, “But the urgency and the terrible nature of the catastrophe impending — over a 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 personally can to bring to an end a situation which has become literally intolerable, URGENCY IS SUGGESTED. “I wish to emphasize the character of the situation and to say that 108) gravity {s such that I am constrained urgently to insist that each one of you realize the heavy burden of responsibility upon him. fe “The evi! posibilities are so far-reaching, so appalling, that ‘t seems to ft me that you are not only justified in sinking, but required to sink, for time being any tenacity as to your respective claims in the matter at between you. “In my judgment, the situation imperatively requires that you & upon the common plane of the necessities of the public. “We are upon the threshold of winter, with an already existing er es “With all the earnestness there is in me I ask that there be an & ty} Fant Jim 9: without a day’s unnecessary delay, meet the crying needs of the people. *| “I do not invite @ discussion of your respective claims and. | «Continued on Second
