He would make no statement, and Secretary Cortelyou said # would be nothing from the White House. Mitchell did not submit a counter-proposition in writing, as if thought he would, but talked over the all phases of arbitration with the: President. It can be stated en the highest authority that Mitchell is as ane jous as anybody to end the strike. He Is doing all he can, He must deal with his district presidents and the strikers, and that is why he- went back to Wilkesbarre without talking. He understands thoroughly the President's position and what the Presidents wants and will do, and his task Is to make the district pres idents understand It and get them in line. He thinks he cat do this, Go does the President. : MITCHELL CONSULTS SARGENT. Mitchell left the White House after the first conference at one o'clock. i He spent the time until 3 o'clock in the office of Frank P.

Wright, Commissioner of Labor, was lasted for abouc an hour. present all the time. : “hy The conference went into the vexed question of whether the President _ should restrict himself to the classes of men suggested by the operators or 4 whether he should have a free hand as suggested by John Mitchell at the original White House conference. : Most of the time was spent gcing over the names of prominent baesotl who may serve on the Arbitration Board. , * What Mitchell wanted most of the President was a knowledge of thie ies personnel of the commission es far as the President could give it, and as many facts as he could get about the conference on Monday night with Morgan, Root and Bacon. i MITCHELL LOOKED CHEERFUL. r Mr. Mitchell appeared to be more cheerful than when he entered the E White House, but still maintained his reticence. He declined to say whether he had submitted any counter provositions to the President or to indicate whether or not he would make a statment. It was learned that the President had succeeded in convincing b that the interests of the miners would be safe if he were left fres to the arbitrators. Mr. Mitchell, it is said, agreed, r iving a definite reply.
