STRIKE CONFERENCE
IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Waahlngton, Sept. 30. The piesident
today took liiitutlvo steps to ascertain
what, If anything, could be done by
federal authoilty to settle the iinthia
cl(e stiike. The lesiilt was a utlier
general expiesslon of opinion by the
advlseis of the piesident who weie
paities to today's confeience to the ef
fect that the fedeial laws and consti
tution did not affoid means of federal
Jnterfeience to end the stMke, but an
other conference will be held tombiiow
and the president 1I do all he can
piopeily nnd legally to biliiK about a
settlement.
At the tempo) ary white house, a eon
feieuee was held by the president with
Attorney Qeneiul Knox, Secietary
Moody and Postmaster General Payne.

anything that can be done by the gov

made to him anil many suggestions
hae been received by him, and It was
with a view to usceittiin what power
the fedei.il authority could evoke that
caused the eonfoiorioo to bo held.
During the iimfcri'iu'e, every phase
or tlio situation was discussed. The
geneinl opinion or the udvlseis of the
piesident was that the situation did
not piesent a wise In which thoie
could be fedin.il Intel ferente bv any
pioies.s of law. There lias been no in
liifeienie with fedoial authoilty In
the mining region, either by stnppigo
of the in. i lis oi resistance of United

out that then- was no occasion for the

Stone, of Pennsylvania, hafluat called
on the government foi assistance, nor
had ho oven exhausted the lesoutees of
the state by calling out the full

The question of the light to seek ap
pointment of leceivois for tlio mines
In 01 del that they might be opciated
was discussed, but neither in the con
stitution nor in anj known law could
any legal w.ui.int be found for such
notion, though the discussion on such
lines even went so far as the consid

been accomplished, assuming the led

The tenor of the whole discussion

Dy Exclusive W ire from The Astoclatett Pre!.
New York, Sept. 30. The stock mar
ket, which closed utterly demoralized
yestoiday as a result of stringent mon
etary conditions and other unfavorable
circumstances, made a sensational re
covery today. The chief causes for the
complete teveisal were the action of
the secietaiy of the treasury In re
moving the lestraint on reserves, and
persistent reports from various quar
tets that the coal strike had at last
reached the point where negotiations
for a settlement were actually under
way. For this last rumor there ap
peared to bo little or no foundation,
according to the indhylduul and collect
ive statements of the leading operators
made after the regular weekly meeting.
Another Influence for better prices
was the decline In call money rates,
though dut lug the morning loans were
made as high as 19 per cent. A large
pait of the day's loans was made
aiound 10 per cent, and the rate at the
clop went down to 2,but -this was
really nominal no money being placed
at that figure. ,
Opening prices were better all tho
way from a fraction to five points.

An Animated Spectacle.
On the floor of the slock exchange
the greatest excitement and activity
prevailed during the first hour. Brok
ers on the shot t side were covering
with nil possible speed, and the bull
faction wns in absolute control. The
list manifested a vaccllatlng tendency
soon after the first bnlge, and many
of the active stocks whose initial gains
had been laigest receded from 1 to 3
points.
The opening rate for call monev; wns
1" per cent., but soon advanced to 18,
cm eating general confusion among
those committed to high pi ices.
The sensational fentures of the
maiket developed In the early after
noon on news from Washington In
timating that the piesident and his
cabinet had taken steps to terminate
the coal strike. In spite of the ab
sence of any confirmation the market
seized upon this announcement, and
with the coal stocks in the lead the
entire list shot upward. The market
developed a bouynnt tone In the last t
hour, though opeiatlons were confined
largely to the coalers, which were
heavily ti ailed In and closed at prac
tically best pi Ices of the day. The
