Indignation was freely expressed, even by the moderates, that they were compelled to abandon the strike under Kovcrnmcnt mandate. There was a general washing of soiled linen, too, which took the form of vigorous attacks on the two officers, John L. Lewis and Frank Farring ton, president of the Illinois mine workers, whose squnbbles within the order, it wns charged, hnd fostered the belief in the public's mind that it was union politics that had forced the strike and not the desire of the miners themselves.

Another topic that aroused nni tnnted discussion wa3 the question of a niw conference between miners and operators to settle the disputed issues In the coal situation. It wns re peatedly urged thnt the miners should not accept arbitration and that-if they did the arbitration board would not irive the miners a fair 1 rt 1.1 I... .nnJ nf mil SHOW. It WUUII1 ue uuiliyuatu ui u".- i siders,, a layman, not familiar with conditions in the coal business, and, thcrefoie, not competent to decide the issue, it was contended. The board would insist on having all contracts between men and their ernployeis end in the spring instead of in the fall as at present; an ar rangement that would be distinctly to the disadvantage of the miners, and one that had always been favored by the operators, it was declared. Such a board, it was pointed out, would undoubtedly advocate the thlrty-thrce members with tho In junction order by Judge A. B Ander son on Saturday last. Frank Farrington was found on the street and served there. John Brophy, of Cleveland; Phillip Mur ray, of Pittsburgh; Thomas Davis, of Nnntlcokc, and William Donald son, of Dubois, were the Pcnnsyl vnnlnns who were served with the order. The men occeptcd service without any comment whntcver. There was a feature about this conference that marked it above any I have ever attended. It was dis tinctly nn elderly man's convention. None of the members seems to be under forty or forty-five. Shadows Miners' Chief President Murray, of the Pitts burgh district, at thirty-thice is perhapst one of the youngestMn at tendance, but his hair is iron gray which adds to his mature appear ance. It is well known in Indian apolis that the miners' national leaders have been closely shadowed since November 1 and duringtheir conference yesterday and this morn ing members of the Department of Justice's bureau of investigation were in constant attendance in the lobby of the hotel. They keep Wash ington posted as far as possible on developments within the union. Twice yesterday four professional- ooking men appeared and were ushered into the assembly room with a great show of respect. They were the attorneys for the miners headed by Henry Warrum. The delay in arriving at a conclu sion as to what action should be taken on the order of the court was due largely to the number of officials present, some hurrying here from states as far west as Montana. This i was a conference unlike any other ordinary gathering of the men in that it could not be hurried. ii n.ii iiiij, i inn mi' .. .. , .. ,, , ,i peace tn-atj is i.ititicd and the Lever i "!"""' law goes out of existence appnrentl.v the couit and in compliance v. illl thf tbe riulwav Inbot union will f-tce. if C0Uit's i-ulinp the stuko order has thc.v strike, the same lesistanie fiom , ' , , , .,, i, i the government that the ion I strike been canceled and withdrawn, k faced It Is unlikely that the ini'vviiv seems to me that good faith on tllP part of the operatois tequiics thein to meet the miners' leprpsentathes at once for the purpose of negotiating a settlement of this wage contro versy, and that good faith on the part of the government requires it to see that such a resumption of negotiations is had at once and con cluded without delay."

It was noticed that In an another respect this gathering was peculiar. There were no smiles and jokes and laughter oftcr adjournment for meals. The faces of all werc( sober and thoughtful; not sullen or grim, but the faces of men who know they were up against a stiff problem. In a talk with one of the officials he told me frankly that the matter of a jail commitment for contempt of coutt wns the least worry any miners' officinl had. Mo3t of them, he said, never apparently gave it a thought. The one gieat question wns to do that which would be of greatest value, not only to the coal miners, but to other unionists as well. The right of labor to strike when and where it pleases was really the Issue involved as most of them saw it. I am very largely of the opinion that thse labor leaders underesti mated the strength of public opinion against them. They persistently have regarded this matter of Injunction and the order to rescind their action on the strike as a movement by the government in favor of the operators. .There was nn apparent inability or lack of vision to discern the greater issue behind Washington's course. The extremists fought bitterly for every inch of ground. The declara tion of the Washington offieeis of the American Fedciation of Labor, headed by Mr. Gompers, gnve them great encouragement. Then, too, the defiant telegram fiom the represent atives of 10,000 miners in the Belle vue, 111., district denouncing Judgo Anderson's' order as the "ravings of a maniac" still fuither encouraged them and confined them in their de termination to ignoie the order. Dramatic, Historical Night It was the most dramatic night possibly in the history of a man of labor. A scant half hour for dinner workeis will stnke while the Lever net i remains in forte. lint even after its expiration the railvvav unions are likclv I to protecd with million.

A big raw-boned sergeant-at-arms kept the corridor leadinc to tne assemoiy loom iree of intrudeig. Thrill of Excitement One thrill of excitement was ex- j perienced by the conference just I after it reassembled from the lunch eon recess yesterday. When they reached the door of the meeting room they found United States Marshal DurIng'tho nlght'tta members 'of American Federation' of Ibor, Wficn the conference would leavo tho as sembly room in pairs and threes and sit around the balcony overlooking the rotunda, talking in undertones with froqucnt violent gestures'. At 2 o'clock this morning a recess of fifteen minutes was taken to give tho members nn opportunity to get n cup of coffco and stretch their cramped limbs. At 4:10 adjourn ment' was announced, with the deci sion to abide by the order of the Federal Court. It was a historic night for labor for the reason that it saw the end of the greatest industrial strike evor declared in this country, with the greatest number of nien involved. It was the first time also that the government, backed by adequate lnws, ended in such a summary man ner a labor controversy of such mag nitude. , The next step in tllis proceeding is up to the government. It un doubtedly will open negotiations to bring the miners and operators to gether for a conference and the ad justment of their differences. Just what shape this will assume will rest with the President and the at torney general. told of the announcement by Acting President Lowls, of tho miners' or Knnlzfttlon. refused to nay anything.
