simplicity of the negotiations for

Neither sovereign nor prime minister

capable playing Mr. Morgan's pari.

For Having Tried To Settle The
Coal Strike.
BEGAN TWO MONTHS AGO.
Wilkesbarre. I'a.. Oct. 21.—What is
probably the last fu'l week <if the an
tbracitc coal strike closed without
thing developing to change the peaceful
trend of events. It was a quiet day at
headquarters and a busy one in the
district and suhdistrict headquarters
throughout the entire coal fields, on
account of the election of delegates to
the Wilkesbarre gathering.
l'robably the most difficult question
which will collie before the convention
is the one relative to strikers securing
their old places. Many of the miliar-
want the convention to withhold ac-
ceptance of the arbi ration plan until
the union is assured that the .striker-
will Ik* re-employed in their former
places.
President Mitchell was asked wlia'
he knew «.f the report ti at .1. Pierpont
Morgan was forced t.i intervene In tli ■
coal strike and in reply lie sai :
"To my personal knowledge Mr.
Morgan Ill's l een trying to settle lhe
coal strike since lie came back from
Europe two months ago. If others had
beeu as fair and reasonable as Mr.
Morgan was, the strike would have
been settled a long time ago. I know-
nothing about Mr. Morgan's financial
intcrts s compelling hill! to seek a set-
tlement of the s'riU", but I am inform-
ed that he lias keenly tell his respons>
bilitv to the public in connection with
the fuel famine, and has done his best
to bring about the end. lloth Mr.
Morgan and Mr. I n-s"tt. of the 1 cim-
sylvauia railroad, were working for a
settlement when I'rcsilent Uooseielt
Ilia le his last and successful move ^r.
Morgan could not very well be forced
to do something which lie had been
Irving to accomplish for several vvecis.
"1 make this statement in justice to
Mr. Morgan. We have had no quarrel
with him and we wish none. We do
not fear him. but prefer his friendship
if he is willing to give it to us. I am
creditably Inforine I tin t he is friendly
to organized labor. As an orgaiiizel ■ >.
capital, lie concedes the right of labor
to organize also, an-, when labot
organizations arc fair und. inscrvativc.
he believes in dealing directly wltn
ti em for the advantage of both em-
ployer and employe. It is this relation-
ship Which the United Mine Workers
seek In the anthracite field, an 1 we in-
vite Mr. Morgan to cooperate with us
in securing it permanent and scieutilii
solution of the labor problem in this
region."

state ticket to go on the official ballot
