BAER, CASSATT AND QUAY ~ HOLD THREE CONFERENCES, (Special to The Evening World.) PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 13.—Three important coal conference were held pare to-day. Tho first was between Presidents George F. Baer and A, J. ‘was immediately foilowed by a call on the part of Senator Quay. Later the Senator went to the Reading terminal, where he was ¢loseted with Mr. Baer for fully half an hour.. The result of all these interviews is kept secret and in no instance would either of the parties to the several sonferences say that anything had been accomplished. President Baer returned to this city from New York at the early hour “7 f.1.80 o'clock this morning. He remained in his private car until 7 o'clock, ') when he went directly to his office and breakfast was served him there. Shortly before 9 o'clock he went over to the Pennsylvania Railroad ttation and entered Mr. Cassatt’s privat: cffice. He left by a private en- rance. At 930 he was back at his desk in the Reading Terminal. Senator Quay goon came in and was inimediately taken into the private room. At this time Mr. Cassatt was in another part of the building, but re- st Cassatt, of the Reading and Pennsylvania Railroads, respectively, and this | HOME | The time is ripe for some man to enter the millionaire class through the | gemand for oll-soaked bricks.

Richard Young, Park Commiss!oner of Brooklyn and Chairman of the +fanufacturers’ Committee that met Mr. Mitchell in Buffalo and the coal perators in Philadelphia in an effort to end the strike, believes that a set- fement will be made to-morrow. . “After our meeting,” said Mr, Young, “we were all pledged to secrecy, nd on that account I cannot tell the public what I know.

Idle Miners Are Peaceable, Chumming with Soldiers and Not in Distress. (Special from a Staff Correspondent.) WILKESBARRE, Pa., Oct. 13.—The terrorlam,in the anthracite district Is more burlesque than real, und not nearly so serious as the coal operators describe in demanding the presence of Federal troops. There Is disorder, and in some dis- inlets remote from the larger cities a great deal of It, But in the more seitled sections not only is the best order being maintained, but the strikers are assisting the 10,000 members of the Pennsylvania National Guard who have been sent here, It is not an unusual epectacle in towns like Wilkesbarre, Scranton, Pottsville, Nanticoke, Tamaqua and Hagzleton to see jers and strikers chumming together, When a regiment reached Tamaqua four daya ago the strikers assembled, cheered the troops and gave beer and bread to them, At all of the principal towns where the troops are the strikers and their sympathizers turn out every afternoon to witness dress parade and lead the cheering which greets the ma noouvres of the soldiers. | Are “Far Too Friendly.” | ‘ators complain, saying that the strikers and troops are far too! Of this the ope! friendly, and deciare that in an emergency the troops would refuse to attack thelr friends, the strikers, Gen. Gobin grimly says the operators are mistaken, as they will discover if {t becomes necessary to charge the strike: The strikers are not idie. They are perfectly organized, have spies and spot- ters and maintain a constant and complete system of espionage on every one of the 850 mines in the anthracite district. But thelr methods do not justity interfer- They resort po peaceful argument, moral suasion, promise of protection to!

Complete ostracism by the nilles of the strikers Is another weapon employed. But none of these things can the military stop. Ave Treated Like Lepe! An Instance of this is afforded here in Luzerne County, at one of the suburbs, where there are three collieries and the families are under the ban of disapproval |of the strikers. «They are as completely ignored as if they were lepers. They are compelled to secure thelr hausehold supplies from the coal companies. Not a family in the district will hold any communication with the members of the boycotted households, Yet there has not been a single act of open violence, nor has a demand been made for the protection of troops. Mitchell cannot be induced to admit that any of his army of 143,000 18 using | This was shown by his refueal to protest! against the erection of a stockade by the troops for the detention of persons ar-| rested for acta of violence and disorder. His reply to the presidents of | local) leaders who are resisting the power of the troops to detain disturbers was In sub- stance that he did not care what was done With men who break the law, “Our people,” he sald, “Aare not Interested in protecting men who commit acts of violence.

There ts no busier man in the United S:ates than this young. elear-eyed leader of the greatest contest between Iabor and capital the world has ever witnessed, Ho tolls on an average of eighteen hours a day, directing and commanding the largest standing army In the Western world, He is paclent, secretive, genial and unselfish. All his time Is devoted to the great task before him—that of ending the strike with honor to himgelf and the men he represents, He Ix conficent and courageous, and whlie annoyed beyond mensure every day, | he Is always approachable, polite, frank and cordial. He never loves his temper raises his volee, and he looks you squarely in the cye when he tells you he will not give you the information you seek Mr. Morgan, who Is not the least Irraselble man of affairs in the world to ap- | proach, might learn a few valuable lessons by studying the methods of Mitchell, whose responsibilities, while not so extensive, are quite as tmportant. Mitchell never says anything offensive about the men who are fighting him. He dismisses j all references to Mr. Morgan, Mr, Baer and the other men wo control the coal] situation with the polite statement that “these gentlemen are on one aide of the! | proposition and I am on the other, They doubttess believe they are right. 1 be-| | eve I am right.” | Renpectn Roosevelt Mighly. When tt was suggested that he follow the example of President Roosevelt, for whom he entertains the highest admiration, and make public every step taken by’ him to end the strike, he replied: | “Were I dealing with the Presklent 1 would ¢o so, but 1 am dealing with a set! | of men who do not work that way, Lam therefore compelled to fight them with | thelr own weapons.” | A-careful Investigation made by the writer shows that there 44 litle or no dine | tress tn the mining reglon as a result of trike. More than 26,09 of the mina | workers, the larger percentage of whom are the miners themselves, have banic | accounts. More than 2 per cent. have refrained from applying for rellet, | I: ds practically Impossible to determine the actual amount of coal being mined | | and shipped, but tt is admi:tedly very small. The normal production ts more than} a million tons a week, or about 140,000 tons a day, If the operators are mining any- thing Hke the amount of coal they claim they are there are no external Indica- tions of the fact. The ratiways leading to the cities of the East do not carry as many carloads In a day as usually pass in an hour. At one of the collieries, the president of which sald he had mined and shippet 360 tons in a day, the workman on duty at the mouth of the shaft told another story. On Saturday he pointed to four flat cars holding less than a ton each, “That,” he sald, “is the output for yesterday, Friday, and that's as much as has been brought up or sent away any day in ten,” One of the leading operators admitted to the writer that the daiiy production had not averaged more than 25,000 tons a day for more than three weeks, Mitch- jell, when informed of this estimate, sald: "I doubt very much if they are taking | out a thousand tons a day, If they are mining and shipping %,000 tons a day why don't they ship tt to the cities to relleve the famine? Limited as it Is, that suply ‘would retleva the situation. “My reports of the number of mines actually being operated and sending out conl show that 1,000 tons is a liberal estimate of the amount of coal now being mined, Most of this is not newly-mined coal, but the product of the culm banks. where the Inferlor and waste coal Is dumped This coal is usually sold at the rate | of 80 cents ® wagon iad, and the lod can be two tona as well as one. I think if you examine the quality of new coal going to market you will see the difference.” | PRINCETON LOSES A PATRON. in home and foreign missionary Mrs. Brown had several chosen years, flulds “ David Brown, Who Gave Lib- | delegates, whom she supported entirely | erally to the University, Dead, | To Lincoln University, at Lincoln, Pa. | (2oecial to The Evening World.)

She brought her baby carriage in which to take back the coal. In It was a six-months-old baby.
