Ry EuhMie Wire from Hit- Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 5. In an earnest
effort to expedite! the adjustment of the
coal strike problem, another conference
over the situation was hold at the wliito
house today and adjourned after three
hours of deliberation. No statement
was given out as to the conclusions
reached and every participant positive
ly refused to discuss what had taken
place during the meeting. The confer
ence was called for today, although it
was Sunday, In view of the extraordi
nary Importance to the American peo
ple of u speedy solution of the question.
Hesldes the president, there were pres
ent at the conference Secretary of War
Root, Secretary of the Navy Moody,
Attorney General Knox, Postmaster
General Payne and Carroll D. Wright,
Vnlted States commissioner of labor.
The last named was summoned to at
tend the conference on account of his
expert knowledge of the situation in
the nnthrucltc coal Holds and -because
of his personal Investigation of the con
ditions there which ho made some
months ago at the instance of the presi
dent. Jt was notable that only four of
the members of the cabinet were pres
ent. This, however, was signillcant only
of the fact that three of those four were
lawyers and that the issue involved
wis one which called for the deliber
ation of trained legal minds. The fourth
cabinet ofliccr. Postmaster General
Payne, lias taken prominent part hi the
preliminary conferences over the coal
situation which led up to the confer
ence with the coal olliclals and the
miners' representatives Friday and, be
sides, he has a life-long identification
with corporate interests which are in
volved in the present question. The
fact that Mr. Payne has been one of
the closest advisers in the national
counsels of his party gives him a posi
tion of prominence.
The Participants Arrive.
When those who were to participate
arrived at the white house iira d Ha
ssling rain they found Surgeon-General
Rlxey. of the navy, ami r. Lung, the
president's physician, already there,
malting the morning call on the distin
guished patient. This caused a delay
or a few minutes. When the two phys
icians left. It was repented that the
president's condition was progressing
satisfactory.
The president In expressing his views
at the outset of the conference, talked
earnestly and showed a deep feeling.
Ills voice at I hues could be heard
iown stairs. Several times during the
onierence, Secretary Corlelyou was
fummoned into the room and directed
to prepare certain matters for the cim-fldPi-atlon
of the president and his ad
visers. This was taken to Indicate
that some action of one nature or an
other wan about to-be consummated.
When the conference adjourned a
few minutes before 1 o'clock, those who
had joined In it refused to talk. Kvery
member of the cabinet and Carroll n.
Wright, the only outsider who wan
present, was pledged to absolute secre
cy as to what had occurred within the
conference room. The utmost efforts
were nuido to guaranteo against pub
licity, Just as the presidential sum
mons which called the conference hud
been made In a very quiet and careful
ly guarded way. Not since the Spanish
war has there been siici, reticence
shown at a conference nf such a char
acter as, was observed today.
Nature of Proceedings,
In this state of absolute reticence of
every one of tho parties to the confer
ence, It Is almost Impossible to do
inoro than draw the most general of
conclusions ur to the naturo of tho pro
ceedings, based upon what preceded
tho meeting, The known facts ure that
the president has reaehed tho conclu
sion that ho has nothing to expect suvo
refusal from a further appeal to tho
coal operators, nnd, therefore, has do.
elded to look for relief from u situa
tion which la his view Is fast growing
intolerable to the miners' side. He
feels that he hardly can expect them
to make tho Buerlllco of nil of their
contentions without holding out at
least a promlso of soiue return, and tho
question before him is ns to his ubllity
to do this. He can pledge himself to
appeal to congress to examine Into the
justice of the miners' complaints and
remedy them so fur us lies In the pow
er of the legislative brunch, backed by
the earnest good will of the executive.
Also ho cun suggest to Governor Stone,
of Pennsylvania, that ho causes the
Pennsylvunlu legislature likewise to
make nn Inquiry, perhaps hastening
the usual methods by calling an extra
session. But these pledges would be
given only on condition that tho men
go at once Into the mines nnd get out
with all speed the coal for which the
people nre suffering.
To adopt this course means the con
tinuance of the policy of exerting moral
suasion to end tho strike, It Is certam
that thus far tho president has not
found a single one of bit constitutional
advisers who could suggest any de
parture from this policy: no one could
llnd a method sanctioned by law or con
stitution which promised relief nnd In
volved the use of duress against either
tile operators or the miners.
Purpose of the Conference.
So, It Is believed that today's con
ference was called by the president with
thopurpose of putting in exact shape
the details of a plan conceived in Its
rough outlines even before the depar
ture of President Mitchell last Friday
afternoon from the mixed conference.
The three hours spent in consultation
today were none too long to put Into
form the twin propositions: one to tho
miners' organization and the other to
Governor Stone, and the fact that Sec
retary Corlelyou was called on to pre
pare one or more staeinents at tho dl
tectlon of the president, is taken as
an indication that messages were sent
out at the end of the session today,
and that tho reticence of all of the
parties is explannble perhaps by their
desire to avoid the discourtesy of pub
lishing tho nature of these before they
arc received by tho persons to whom
they are addressed, as well as by a wish
to escape the complication of the nego
tiations by heated public discussion at
this stage. That tho parties to tho
conference feel that they have accom
plish somohlng Is borne out by the
expression of tho belief that the miners
will soon be again at work.
One object of the conference was to
consider some of the propositions that
have been sent to the president for set
tling the strike. These came from
every section of the country, and u
large proportion from men of standing
and reputation. At the same time, it is
said that the suggestions ofter are ab-,
surd and impracticable. Others, offer
ing a possible solution, already have re
ceived attention.
Two constantly recurring proposi
tions for federal interference, one that
I'niled States troops be sent Into Penn
sylvania for the protection of the men
the operators employ, and the other,
that the mines lie seized by the general
government, are rejected, no matter by
whom uregd. The (Irst conference de
veloped tho fact that no federal Inter
ference by force was possible, and to
that conclusion the president has llrm
ly held. Some of the impracticable
propositions made arc offers to lease
coal mines In other sections of the
country to the government, so that It
may furnish coal to the people.
SOFT COAL OPERATORS
ARE SYMPATHETIC
President Russell Intimates Their
Sympathy Has Been Demonstrat
ed in n Substantial Way.
fly l!cluic Wire from The Associated Press.
Wllkos-Harre, Pa Oct, f.. The
Washington conference between Presi
dent Roosevelt, the' coal operators and
the representatives of the anthracite)
coal mine workers having been without
result, the strike leaders aro now en
gaged In tightening up their lines and
preparing themselves to combat any
move made by the operators to break
the ranks of the strikers. Tho tlrst
stop In this direction was taken lodny
when W, It. Ilussell, president of Dis
trict No. 12, of the Miners union, which
comprises the entire state of Illinois,
came hero today by direction of Presi
dent Mitchell for tho purpose of dis
cussing relief measures, Mr, Russell
had a conference lasting. several hours
with his chief, and at Its conclusion it
was announced that steps would Imme
diately bo taken to carry out a plan
by which the relief fund from Illinois,
at least, will bo Increased. What tho
plan Is both Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Rus
sell decline to say.
Mr. Russell said that If It were nec
essary lo do so tho Illinois miners stand
ready to Increaso the assessment. Ho
said they aro taking a great Interest
In tho struggle and will go deep Into
their own pockets to help tho Penn
sylvania workers, President Russell
ulso said tho soft coal operators are
also In sympathy with the strikers In
this state, Ho fluid these operators be
lieved the union was a good thing for
both tho men untl tho employers, be
cause since tho organization was rec
ognized in the western country condi
tions have considerably Improved,
While tho Illinois district president did
not say so, he Intimated In his con
versation thai some of the soft coal
operators In the west have, shown their
sympathy of the hard coal miners In u
substantial way, When he was asked
the direct question he declined to say
anything ubout It. The 30,000 mine
workers In Illinois are now contribut
ing to (he Pennsylvania strikers, ten
cents on every ton of coal mined by
them. The boys employed In that state,
too, aro giving up ten cents a day, In
addition to this tax tho Illinois miners

siderable work for Pnlted StutcAi Labor
Commissioner Carrol D. Wright, In tho
anthracite Held, spent about three
hours with President Mitchell this af
ternoon, Mr, Wcyl, being closely Identified
with Mr. Wright, It was surmised by
the corps of newspaper correspondents
bore that ho may have carried some
messages to Mr. Mitchell from Wash
ington, but both gentlemen denied that
the visit had any significance. Mr.
Mitchell said his call was purely a so
cial one. During the afternoon, Mr.
Mitchell received about a half-dozen
telegrams.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press tonight asked President Mitchell,
In the presence of Mr. Weyl, whether
he had heard from President Roosevelt,
and his reply was:
"Why do you ask; what have you
heard V'.'
He was Informed that the president
and his cabinet had held a long con
ference today on the coal strike, and
he was asked If lie had heard from
tho presidents' cabinet. His answer
tills time was:
"1 have not heard from tho cabinet."
"Have you heard directly or Indrect
ly from Commissioner Wright'.'"
"I don't enro to say anything."
Mr. .Mitchell was much interested in
what took place at Washington, but
had nothing to say regarding the pro
posed plans that have been published
for ending the strike.
