Several Important Meetings Held With a View of End ing the Strike—Operators Are Likely to Yield. Under the threat presented by the leading Republican politicians of Penn sylvania and New York that the laws of this state will be enforced against the coal-carrying railroads, thereby causing a dissolution of the Coal trust and putting an end to the enormous profits which these corporations have for years wrung from the people of the eastern United States, it is likely that the repre sentatives of tho anthracite mining com bination will soon yield and end the strike with concessions satisfactory to the United Mine Workers of America. Numerous conferences looking to the settlement of the strike were held in New York yesterday and last night, but there was uo evidence given to the public that any results had been reach ed. Rumors of settlement flew thick and fast, but wben any one of the con ferees was approached the almost In variable answer to questions concern ing the consultations was: "1 havo nothing to say." The conferences are going on today, but tho impression prevails that If any basis of settlement Is reached it will not bo aunouueed until this evening. The story of the day centers about a meeting held in the afternoon at (Sen ator Piatt's office. Present at this meeting were Governor Odell, Senators Quay, Penrose and Piatt, Railroad Presidents Olyphant, Fowler, Truesdalo and Thomas, John Markle, David Wil cox, general counsel of the Delaware and Hudson; David Lamar and Edward Lauterbach. At tho conclusion of tho meeting none present would say what had taken place or whether any solution to the strike trouble had been reached. The conference followed one held In the forenoon in Senator Piatt's office, at which were present Senators Quay and Penrose, Governor Odell, Edward Lau terbach and Senator Piatt. The con- 1 ferees wero very reticent as to the sub- i jocts under discusslou there. At 3 o'clock the politicians wero join-' ed by the operators, and the most 1m- . portant conference of the day was held. ! Mr. Lauterbach went back and forth from tho office, and made a trip to J. Pierpont Morgan's office. He then wont back to tho conference room. Mr. Lau terbach replied to questions by saying that appearances looked very hopeful for a spoedy settlement of the strike. He said he had seen President John Mitchell Wednesday night and that ho seemed disposed to act with a spirit of fairness. The conference ended about 4.30 o'clock. President Fowler was the first to leave, tho other operators follow ing hhn. The coal road presidents re-' ferred.all inquirers to tho senators and Governor Odell. "I've nothing to say; there is nothing o be said," was GovernorOdell's answer Glass of Water.

Reports from New York city late this afternoon Indicate that the conferences held yesterday and today have failed to end the strike, although a ray of hope is held out that an amicable adjustment will soon come. All the coal roads wero represented at a conference held today In Senator Piatt's office. Senators Quay and Pen rose and Governor Odell were also pres ent. At tho closo of the meeting President Truesdalo, of the Delaware, Lack awanna and Western, announced that "the situation is unchanged and no more conferences will bo held until Tuesday noxt."i President Mitchell and the district presidents took no part In today's meet ing. They will return to Wilkesbarre this evening. At noon today Vice President Wilcox, of the Delaware and Hudson, issued a column aud a half open letter to Presi dent Roosevelt, demanding that the exe cutive shall Institute proceedings against tho United Mlue Workers of America on the ground that it Is an illegal associa tion organized to restrain trade. to a question. Tho senators likewise bad nothing to say. A visit to the opera tors after the conference brought no In formation. Although President Mitchell had ap parently no part In the conference be tween the politicians and the operators, his actions were anxiously awaited. During the morning Mr. Mitchell had a long conference with his three district presidents. Afterward District Presi dent Nicholls bad this to say: "Unless the demands of the strikers are grauted In full, I do not see how President Mitchell can settle the striko without calling a convention. If only a part of the demands are granted, that would render It necessary to call a con vention and that would take two weeks at least." Lato in the afterooon Mr. Mitchell and tho district presidents had another conference. Nicholls said that his as sociates had not considered any formal or informal proposition from the opera tors. He said that the strike might possibly bo settled by Monday, but inti mated that it was improbable. In addition to the New York meeting, which President Baer, of the Reading, and President Cassett, of the Pennsyl vania, did not attend, a conference was held by the two named in Philadelphia. The meeting began at 5 o'clock and continued until 8 in the evening. At its end no information was given out, but within an hour the rumor that the operators would grant concessions had spread throughout the state. There is strong reason for the beliof that the political influences, headed by Senators Piatt, Quay and Penrose, are being brought to bear upon Mr. Cassatt to bring the conflict to a speedy end. It Is felt that oven if Mr. Morgan should hold aloof, Mr. Cassatt's persua sions might prove effective upon Presi dent Baer, who has beon the dominant; power on the operators'side of the issue. Quay and Penrose believe that the success of their state ticket depends upon the settlement of the strike before election, and, it is argued, tbey would have have little difficulty in obtaining Mr. Cassatt's co-operation for the reason that the president of the Pennsylvania at this time will find the friendship of the political leaders not only of Pennsyl vania, but of New York as well, useful to tho interests ho represeuts. Is Is said that several weeks ago the Republican leaders in this state urged Mr. Cassatt to step into tho breach, and that in support of their plea they dis played to him drafts of certain legisla tion, ostensibly directed against the Coal trust, but inimical in offoct to tho Pennsylvania. They wero also threat ened with the enforcement of existing laws, which corporation influence has for years held in tho background. TROOPS DISTRIBUTED.
