"A strike such as Is threatened on April 1 Is a menace to the peace and general welfare of the country. 1 urge you to make a further effort tc avoid such a calamity. "You and Mr. Robblns are Join chairmen of the trade agreement com mittee of the National Civic Federal tlon and It seems to me that this lm poses additional duty upon you botb and gives an additional reason whs each of you should Join In making a further effort. "Very respectfully, "Theodore Roosevelt. The conference did not adjourn until nearly 8 o'clock last night, when Mr. Mitchell announced that it was agreed by both himself and the oper ators that the national convention should be called. President Mitchell himself has been quoted as saying that as far as b.6 knew there certainly would be a strike In the bituminous fields April 1. The negotiations for an agreement between the hard coal workers and thr anthracite operators have been pro gresBing Bmoothly, to all outward ap pearances, and arrangements have been made for a Joint conference Wed nesday between the sub-committees having the settlement of the difficul ties In hand. Mr. Mitchell believes that March 13 Is the earliest date the convention can be summoned and he believes that II there Is to be peace the two weeks be tween the date fixed for the miners' as sembly and April 1, when the present agreement with the operators expires Is sufficient time to bring about the de sired result. Mr. Mitchell would not Indicate whal new propositions will be placed be fore the miners, but significance Is attached to his statement that the op erators at yesterday's conference agreed that the convention should be called.
