It was intimated that the President would make a direct | appeal to John Mitchell, President of the United Mine Workers, to stop the strike and go to work in the mines, trusting to the powerful influence of | his friend: in Congress, or the Pennsylvania Legislature, to get legislation ~ enacted that will redress the grievance of the miners, a Tt is understovd here that Mitchell will not be averse to receiving such a plea, but thinks the President should take the initiative. bs “If he wants the President to start,” sald a Cabinet member this more “he won't have to wait long. rR What the President wants is that Mitchell will consider the straits of the people from a broad, humanitarian view-point and get his men to go back to the mines regardless of the position of the operators.
