That Is what wo are waiting for. There can be no outside Interfer ence. All the king's horses and all the king's men cannot effect a settlement In any other way. I cannot say when the strike will end, but it can end only In the one way—by the strikers returning to work." President Fowler, of the New York.

They would even ho will ing, if tho cast) warranted It, to submit matters to arbitration, the arbitration, however, being between the operators and tiieir employes. There can bo no agreement until the miners return to work."
