Conference Was Held Yes terday With the Members of His Cabinet—Futu re Moves Not Announced. In an earnest effort to oxpedlate the adjustment of the coal strike problem another conference over the situation was held at tho White House yesterday, and adjourned after three hours of delib eration. No statement was given out as to tho conclusions reached, and every participant p >sitlvely refused to discuss what had taken place during tho meet ing. The conference was called for yes terday, although it was Sunday, in view of the extraordinary Importance to the American people of a speedy solution of the question. Besides the president there were pres ent at the conference Secretary of War Root, Secretary of the Navy Moody, At torney General Knox, Postmaster Gen eral Payne and Carroll D. Wright, United 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 anthracite coal fields and because of his personal Investigation of the condi tions there which he made some months ago at the Instance of tho president. Tho president In expressing his views at the outset of the conference, talked earnestly and showed a deep feeling. Socretary Cortelyou was summoned Into the room and directed to prepare cer tain matters for the consideration of tho president and his advisers. This was taken to Indicate that some action of one nature or another was about to be consummated. When the conference adjourned a few minutes before 1 o'clock, those who had joined In it refused to talk. Every member of tho cabinet and Colonel Wright, the only outsider who was pres ent, was pledged to absolute secrecy as to what had occurred within the con ference room. In this state of absolute reticence of every one of the parties to tho confer ence, it is almost impossible to do more than draw the most general of conclu sions as to the nature of the proceed ings, based upon what preceded the meeting. The known facts aro that the prcsl dent has reached the conclusion that he has nothing to expect save refusal from a further appeal to the coal operators and, therefore, has decided to look for relief from a situation which In his view is fast growing Intolerable, to tho min ers' side. lie feels that ho hardly can expect them to make the sacrifice of all of their contentions without holding out at least a promise of some return, and the question bofore him Is as to his ability to do this. The president can pledge himself to appeal to congress to examine into tho justice of the miners' complaints and remedy them so far as lies In the power of the legislative branch, backed by the earnest good will of the executive. Also he can suggest to Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania, that ho cause the Pennsylvania legislature likewise to make an inquiry, perhaps hastening the usual methods by calling an extra ses sion. But these pledges would be given only on condition that the men go at onco into the mines and get out with all speed the coal for which the people are suffering. That the parties to tho conference feel that thoy have accomplished some thing is borne out by the expression of the belief that the miners will soon bo again at work. INDEPENDENT OPERATORS MAY RESUME. The Philadelphia Inquirer this morn ing publishes tho following, the truth of which is doubted by the strikers of this vicinity: "There is roason to believe that John SIB.OO to Chicngo and Return Via the Lehigh Valley Railroad, on account of national encampment of the Union Veteran Legion at Chicago, this company will sell tickets at above rate for the round trip, October 5, fi and 7, good for return to October 10, and will be honored on any train except the Black Diamond express. For further particulars consult ticket agents. The kind that cured your Grandfather. DR. DAVID FREE KENNEDY'S SfJ| FAVORITE kS'S-SS ntp ■■ Pfllf thin paper and address Dr. REMEDY FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, OCTOBER G, 1902. Mitchell is preparing to deliver a master stroke that is well calculated to carry confusion into tho ranks of his enemies, the coal presidents, and, at the same tlmo, to extend to the public a measur able relief from tho pangs of a winter fuel famine. Tills is nothing more nor less than a resumption of work on the part of the striking coal miners at the Independent collieries, whose owners aro willing to accede to the demands of tho United Mine Workers of America. "These independent operators, prob ably not more than twenty In number, all told, have notified Mr. Mitchell of their willingness to accede to all the de mands made by the miners, Including increased wages and reduced hours, and have asked that the union authorize the miners to return to work. "It has heretofore been the expressed policy of the executive officers of the United Mine Workers that none of the miners should return to work until all did so, In order that tho force of the strikers might not be weakened. John Mitchell is said to have expressed him self as being personally favorable to per mitting the miners to work at these collieries whoro their demands will be granted and to have given assurances that he will submit the matter to his executive board for action. "The president of the miners has more than once shown himself to be a diplomat of no small calibre. Aside from the humane Instincts fhat natur ally Impel him to take any action within his powor to oxtond relief to the public, suffering the pangs of a winter coal famine, Is the fooling that a display of magnanimity will do tho miners no harm In the estimation of the people. "Aside from that consideration Is the fact that a considerable number of minors thus returned to work would relieve the uniou of financial demands to that extent and at the same time afford It a reliable source of revenue from regulated contributions from the wages of the men at work." LARGE MEETING OF STRIKERS. The strikers of Freeland and vicinity held a mass meeting at the Grand opera house yesterday afternoon and listened to addresses delivered by District Presi dent Thomas Duffy, National Board Members P. G. Gallagher and John Fal lon, District Board Member W. H. Det trey and an Italian and a Slavonian speaker. C. F. Haganey, of Local 1939, of town, was chairman. The several loaders were listened to attentively by tho large audience and were generously applauded. The address of Mr. Dottrey was very strong and ho paid his respects to the Drifton company and some of their offi cials In words which left no doubt of their meaning, and was enthusiastically cheered when ho concluded. Mr. Fallon paid particular attention to the chargo circulated by the oper ators that tho employes of Markle & Co. broke their agreement to submit disputed questions to arbitration. The speaker gave a history of tho alleged agreement, of which so much has re cently been heard, and gave abundant proof that the contract was one in which tho worker had no voice in mak ing. Mr. Fallon's remarks cleared away much misunderstanding regarding the Markle agreement and every fair minded man present was convinced that the contract was a sham and un worthy of the respect of the mislod employes who signed it. SITUATION AT DRIFTON. Mine foremen of Coxo Bros. & Co. visited the homes of Drifton mine work ers on Saturday and asked tho following questions: "Will you go to work?" "Why don't you go to work?" "Are you afraid to go to work?" "Why are you afraid to go to work?" If the mine worker answered "no" to the third question, the fourth was not asked. Each man's name and hi 9 re piles were recorded by a clerk from the mining office. The result of the Inter views cannot bo ascertained. A committee from Drlfton union fol lowed the mine foremen and also asked the men if they wanted to return to work. The committee reports that the answers wore unanimous for continuing the strike until all are ordered by the union to resumo. Drlfton whistle blew for work on Sat urday evening for tho first tlmo In many months. Three young men of town wore added to the small force this morn ing and operations are being conducted on a small scale at the colliery. Four coal and iron officers guard each house in Drifton occupied by the family of a non-unionist. The men who aro working live behind the stockade. Robert Allen, while chopping cord wood at Girardvllle with a double bit ax, accidently struck himself In the neck, severing a largo blood vessel. He lost so much blood that it is feared he can not recover. STRIKE NOTES. Ntwi hii<l Incident* of the Rattle Be tween Miner and Operator. Locally, the action of the coal road presidents in the Washington confer ence was notdlsappolntlng. Tho people hereabouts knew what the coal trust directors are capable of doing, and the fact that they carried their arrogance Into the presence of the president oc casioned no surprise to the employes of these men. The contention of the miners that as individuals they have not and cannot expect consideration of their demands from the operators was amply demonstrated when the coal barons made their reply tothe president's appeal. With President Roosevelt treated con temptuously, how can the public expect the miner to receive justice unless back ed by an organization? In a statement published In a Phila delphia paper on Saturday General Gobin, who spent two hours on Friday in a coal company's office near here, said he found necessity for troops at Freeland, Drlfton and Upper Lehigh. The soldiers have not yet arrived, but it is expected they will reach Drifton before the week Is out, as the officials there are disappointed by the miners' refusal to prevent the colliery from re suming and will have some other trouble-breeding move concocted to ag gravate tho strikers and create an ex cuse for calling upon the militia. The people of Shamokiu and Mahanoy City were terrorized on Saturday by gangs of drunken troops from the camps near the towhs. On the previous day the soldiers wore paid and the general debauch followed as soon as tho "tin nlcs" got outside their camp. Several were arrested and the remainder wore hustled back to their tents by their com rades. In Shenandoah a riot was at one timo imminent, due to the great dis order caused by tho troops, who beat the police officers and flourished their weapons In a menacing manner. The local business men have stood tip well under the heavy strain to which they have been subjected by the strike They are carrying many hundreds of accounts on their books and are making extraordinary sacrifices to save tholr credits with the wholesale dealers, in order that thoy can continue their policy of supplying necessaries to all needy patrons. The action of tho Freeland merchants should not be forgotten when work is resumed. The orgaus of the coal trust have re fused to defend the operators any longer. The Philadelphia Press this morning says editorially: "There is unanimity in the public judgment that the spirit and tone of the operators were unfor tunate. They weakened whatever strength their case has by their manner of presenting It. They were too trucul ent. They lacked in proper deference to the president. They failed In just recognition of the rights and welfare of the public." John Markle's appoal to tho president for Federal troops is regarded by those who know the situation at his firm's col lieries as ridiculous. His arraignment of tho miners' union before the nation's executive Is also considered very Incon sistent, coming as It does from the manager of a Arm whose officials coun seled its employes after the 1000 strike to join the organization. Boys who will work on Drlfton break er are promised positions In Drlfton shops after tho strike Is over. The tempting offer has not succeeded In breaking tho ranks of the juniors. The brewery's fuel supply, which is hauled from Harleigh, Is now weighed at the feed mill scales on Johnson street, owing to tho Smith boycott of the driver of the wagon, Burgess Boyle. Minors In Drlfton collieries who have breasts filled with coal have been order ed to report for work at onco and load out the coal. Upon their falluro to do so the company will have the work done and deduct the expense from the miners' pay. The cut coal lying in those breasts amounts to several thousands of tons. The Blakey House, a disreputable resort at Duryea, was raided Saturday night by the police, and six members of the Eighth regiment were captured. They were fined $lO each next morning, after spending the night in the station honse. No coal has yet been secured by the borough council for the Municipal build ing. Prisoners who are placed In the lockup will have cold quarters. Percy Zerbe, aged 6 years, and Thomas Jones, aged 9 years, school boys of Donaldson, Schuylkill county, were placed under S3OO bail each for taunting Andrew Mutchler, a non-union man, and hurling epithets at him. The warrants were served on the little fel lows Friday afternoon In the school room. One of the charges preferred against them Is that Mutchler was afraid they would do him bodily harm.
