An officer in the engineer corps of either the military or naval service ARBITRATION Commission to be Appointed By | President Roosevelt, THEIR DECISION TO BE FINAL | Miners to Return to Work When | Appointments Are Announced. BROUGHT ABOUT BY J.P.MORGAN | Financier and His Partner Held Con ference With President Roosevelt and Secretary Root, When Oper ators’ Proposition Was Announced, Which Covers the Suggestion Made | By Strike Leader at Former Con | ference. Washington, Oct. 14.—By authority of J. Pierpont Morgan, who with his part. | ner, Robert Bacon, and Secretary Root were in conference with President Roosevelt at the temporary White House last night for nn hour and a half a statement was given out by Secretary | Cortelyou in which the presidents of | the coal carrying roads and mine opera- | tors propose a commission of five per- | sons to adjust the differences and set- tle the coal strike in the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania. The proposi- tion is believed by the administration to be satisfactory to the miners, as {i covers the proposition made by Presi. nt Mitchell, of the Mine Workers union, with the additional conditions that it is believed mine workers will accept. The statement Is as fol- lows he as The Statement. Secretary Cortelyou, by authority of those present at the White House made public the following authorized statement concerning the conference: J. P. Morgan came to Washington with his partner, Mr. Bacon, at the request of the coal companies, whe desired that as a matter of courtesy their statement should the president before it was made pub le. Having been laid before the president by Mr. Morgan, it i now given to the press. To the Public—The managers of the different coal properties compris ing the anthracite coal fields wish their position in the present strike tu be understood, and therefore make the following statement of facts There are in the anthracite regions about 75 operating companies and firms, and 147,000 miners and work men (of which 30,000 are under age) comprising some 20 nationalities and dialects. Of these workmen possibly one-half belong to the United Mine Workers’ Union, of which Mr. John Mitchell is president. The remaining workmen in the anthracite flelds either belong to no union whatever or do not belong to the Mine Workers Union. The present strike was clared by the Mine Workers’ Union on the 10th day of May, 1902. Since that time many workmen belonging to or not willing to follow that organ ization were working in and about the mines. From 17,000 to 20,000 are now at work. Many more have wished to work, but have been prevented by a course of violence and intimidation towards those working, and towards their families, accompanied by the destruction of properties and the fear of death of bodily harm to every man who wishes to exercise his right to work. Why Arbitration Was Refused. A schedule is annexed hereto show ing some of the things done to create | this reign of terror, and every instance stated can be verified by reference to the officers of the law-—civil and | military—in the anthracite region This violence has continued and stead fly Increased, notwithstanding repeat. | ed disavowals by Mr. Mitchell, and it is clear that he either cannot or will not prevent it, and that the rights of the other workmen cannot be pro tected under the supremacy of the Mine Workers’ Union. For these rea sons the arbitrators heretofore pro posed have been refused. The coal companies realize that the urgent need of coal and the apprehen- sion of an inadequate supply for the ap- proaching winter calls for an earnest effort to reach a practical conclusion which will result in an increased sup- ply, and wae presidents of the compan- fos desire to make every effort to that end which does not Involve the aban- donment of the interests committed to their eare and of the men who are working and seeking to work in their mines. This responsibility they must bear and meet as best they can. They, therefore, restate their posi tion: That they are not discriminating against the United Mine Workers, but they insist that the Miners’ Union shall not discriminate against or re fuse to work with non-union men; that there shall be no restriction or deterioration in quantity or quality of work, and that owing to the vary ing physical conditions of the anthra cite mines, each colliery is a problem by itself.

BAER, W. B. THOMAS, W. H. TRUESDALE, T. W. FOWLER, R. M. OLYPHANT, ALFRED WALTERS While no official statement was made at the White House after the operators address was made public by Secretary Cortelyou, the opinion was expressed that the way for a com plete settlement of the strike and that the mines will soon be in operation once more The issuan ed a conference which assembled Mr. Morgan and his partne con, had reached Washington on a fly ing trip from New York.

The three gentlemen, on leaving the White House, went to the Metropolitan Club while the president retired immediate- ly to his room for needed rest The proposition of the coal officers was a result of the visit of Secretary Root to New York and his conference with Mr. Morgan on Saturday Mr Morgan at that time expressed a keen interest in the situation and a desire to bring about an adjustment if pos- sible. Following this talk with Secre- tary Root, there was a conference in New York yesterday, at which the proposition of the coal operators was agreed to, and Mr. Morgan was dele. met Seq ntlemen good been gated to bring it to the president, In | the belief tha such would be the cour teous course, and the best way of pro- mulgating the offer of settlement The next move will be the presenta- tion of the matter to the miners, and | it is probable that President Mitchell | will be invited to Washington to con- sult with the president here that he will at once accept the proposition. | WEPT AND CLAMORED FOR COAL 50,000 Persons From New York Tene ments Bought It By the Pail.

This was especially the case at A) fred Barber's Sons’ coal depot at 377 Water street, and at the coal depot of Curtis & Blaisdell, at 100 Washing: ton street.
