CHICAGO. Oct. 3. W. E. Francis, busi

joint arbitration committee of the unlpn

recent strike of Ironworkers on the Hock

WASHiNGTO Oct .The $rea.- coal
conference between the President and the
representatives of the operators and min
ers came to an end at the temporary White
House, facing La Fayette Square, at 4:55
o'clock this afternoon, with failure to
reach an agreement, and, apparently, the
rock upon which the conference split was
the recognition of the miners' union. The
President had urged the contending par
ties to cease strife in the Interest of the
public welfare; the miners, through the
president of their union, had expressed a
willingness to submit the differences to
arbitration trial to be named by the Presi
dent, and to enter into an agreement to
abide by terms fixed by the arbitration for
a period of one to five years; and the em
ployers, through the presidents of the rail
road companies and a prominent mine op
erator, had squarely refused arbitration,
had denounced the miners' labor organiza
tion as a lawless and anarchistic body,
with which they could and would have no
dealings; had demanded Federal troops to
insure complete protection to workers and
their families in the mining region, and
court proceedings against the miners'
union, anil had offered, if the men re
turned to work, to submit grievances at
individual collieries to the. decision of the
Judges of the Court of Common Pleas for
the district of Pennsylvania In which the
colliery was located. There the matter
closed. Tonight both the miners and the
operators are still In the city, but tomor
row they will return to their several lo
calities, each saying at a late hour tonight
that the struggle will continue.
A Remarkable Step.
It was a remarkable chapter in the eco
nomic history of the country that was
written today. For the first time the Pres
ident of the Republic had Intervened di
rectly between the great forces of capital
and labor in an effort to avert what he
himself regarded as a great National ca
lamity. The result was to bring the prin
cipals in the great controversy face to
face, with the whole country eagerly In
tent and watchful of their doings. Tech
nically, the Issues between the two great
forces stand as they did before the Presi
dent summoned the representatlvs of the
contending forces to the National capital,
and, forgetting his own acute suffering,
besought them, for love of the great coun
try wherein they dwelt, and out of pity
for the countless throng of suffering poor,
to adjust their differences and work to
gether In peace for the common weal.
What, If anything, will result from the
conference is for the Indefinite future.
Today the views of the contenders In the
great industrial struggle we're so extreme
and wide apart that there was no middle
ground possible, and so the conference
came to an end without any agreement for
its continuation. The conference had
lasted nix hours, including a recess of three
hours between the morning and afternoon
sessions, taken to enable the miners and
operators to prepare written responses to
the- President's appeal.
The immediate parties to the struggle
say they will continue as heretofore.
What course the Administration will take
next no one is prepared to say. One of
the operators, as he left the White House,
was asked regarding this, and replied: "If
any one knows -what the President will do
next, that is more than I know."
Fourteen men, including the President,
were In the second-story front room at the
temporary White House during the mo
mentous conference,. President Mitchell
and three of his district leaders represented
the miners, and Ave railroad men and one
Independent operator the employers. With
tho President were Attorney-General Knox,

Commissioner of Labor Wright and Sec

Cabinet . save the Attorney-rGeneral kept
aloof during the conference, but between
tho two meetings and afterward several of
the President's advisers-called upon him
to talk over the situation.
The President a Good Listener.
During the conference the President
listened to both sides with the greatest
eagerness. Immediately after Its adjourn
ment, his physician. Surgeon-General
Rlxey, and' Dr Lung 'nted. on, making

sulted from; the excitement of the day.
and after a later call. ato o'clock Dr. Lung
announced that- tho President's .condition'
was satisfactory.
It was five minutes of, 5 o'clock when
the conference ended. The operators came
down stairs and held a brief consultation,
and then left in their carriages for their
train, where they met a number of news-

Interference of the President had resulted
In retarding rather than forwarding a set

had been made, and said they would return
to continue the contest. They declared,
that the situation was most serious as to
coal supply, but said that the coal would
be furnished to the public, and If given
protection they could get men to mine coal
to at least 70 per cent of the mines' ca

continue until the strikers succumbed.
They averted their determination to make
no concessions further than the offers al

SOME OTHER STEP PROBABLE
Utterances of Mine Operators Show
That They' Deeply Resent . the
Action of the Executive Pub

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct. 3. Although the coal opera
tors were In a defiant mood today, and
the first effort of President Roosevelt to
bring about a settlement has not met
with success, those in possession of In
side information do not believe he will
stop now, but that further steps will be
taken to reach- a settlement. j.here Is a
suggestion tonight that the situation may
be reached through the Interstate com
merce clause of the constitution, 2but this
Is held as a last resort proposition. .
That the coal operators deeply resent
the President's action Is shown in every
word they uttered. Privately, they call
it a political move, and deride the Presi
dent for interfering in a business matter.
They feel that Mitchell has been enabled
by this conference to make a play for
sympathy at their expense by offering to
arbitrate 'and let the President name the
arbitrators. They know that this Is like
ly to prove 'popular among the people.
At the same time, they feel strong- enough
to withstand public opinion.
The people of the Eastern statea are
facing a crisis, and they are more alarmed
than even the President's words Indicate.
To them the question has progressed far
beyond any points involved in the dis
pute, and they will be with the President
In a demand that something shall be
done.
If the President makes another move,
and it is certain that he will, If he can
find a way, he will have the people behind
him. Great 'hope Is still entertained that
public opinion will force mutual conces
sions and a settlement.

bandits and the Mexican police, but with
out effect. The sum taken by the desper

that the enterprise belongs to the entire

they approve a 5500.000 appropriation, as
docs Senator J. N. Williamson, who
writes: "I am going to vcte for a $500,000
appropriation"; but they give assurance
that they will advocate a large sum. Port

FAVORS APPROPRIATION.
What Congresnman-Elect William
son Thinks of the Fair.
THE DALLES. Oct. 3. (To the Editor.)
In reference to the 1905 Fair we are now
past the InclpienU stage. We are going
to have a fair. It la now a question of
ways and means, wholly so. The exact
location has been selected by the best
men we could find for that purpose. Que
fair has not only an abiding place, but
Us- lencth. breadth and thickness have
been decreed by the ro'unMSWQaU
that same body of competent gentlemen
It Mas bessrt passed upon 'that the state,
should contribute tSOO.000 through-Its Legis
lature for the purposes of the fair. The;
gentlemen having- the- matter in . chargtf,
on account of the close .study they have
given to the subject, know more; about
wha should be done In the premises next
Winter at Salem than the whole Legis
lature put together, and I, for one, do not
propose to question their judgment. I am
going to vote for the $500,000 appropriation.
I think the money should be raised In
two amounts by dividing it and putting it
into two state tax levies. I see that some
people are giving themselves considerable
uneasiness on account of the constitu
tionality, or, rather, the unconstitutionality-
of thp whole nroeeedlnar. I have not
given myself any uneasiness on that
lmlnt. Rv th tlmft we fret that old state
constitution sufficiently Inflated to hold
a comfortable "flat salary" for each of.
our state officials, we can surely And room
for a good-sized Fair appropriation. That
feature of the case Is easy.
J. N. WILLIAMSON.
Senator from Crook, Klamath, Wasco
and Lake Counties.
HALF MILLION, IF NECESSARY.
Galloway, of Old Yamhill, Sayn All
Must Work, Portland Lending-.
M'MINNVILLE. Oct. 1. (To the Ed
itor.) The time has come for Oregon and
the Northwest to move toward the front.
The Lewis and Clark Centennial Fair is
to be a success. Wo must all work to-i
gether. Naturally, Portland Is expected
to set the pace. Let It be a good, steady
pace, a pace Indicating, endunnce and
power. A satisfactory start has been
made. The rural districts and "cow
counties" will fall In line as the proces
sion passes their way.
Good men are managing this undertak
ing. They require money, and will get it.
But a young state should be economical
and saving. Make a little cash go a long
way. Make the fair attractive but mod
est: make it representative of Oregon and
the Northwest.
I am In favor of a reasonable appro
priation by the state, believing that it
would be a good Investment for the tax
payers. Five hundred thousand dollars
looks pretty big. But If the Centennial
and fair absolutely, cannot be made a
complete success with a smaller appro
priation, there will be no kick made by
the Democratic member from "OM Yam
hill." Those who have the management
of this undertaking owe It to the tax
payers of the state to make their de
mand? fair and moderate.
CHARLES V. GALLOWAY,
Representative from Yamhill County.
ECONOMY IN OTHER DIRECTIONS.
Gndit Favom Appropriation and Dls
cnan.es How to Do It.
HILLSBORO. Oct. 2.-(To the Editor.)
I favor an appropriation for the Lewis
and Clark Exposition. However, there are
some other matters that must be consid
ered at the same time the appropriation
Is making. The chief reason for "holding
the Exposition Is that cur state shall be
advertised, and thus immigration attract
ed. We are too few. If sparsely settled,
then, there are not many people in easy
circumstances, and the contribution of a
large sum of money will be a burden to
the few. Can they bear It? Is not the
burden of subduing the weeds of a new
country, building houses, Tmllding fences,
plowing new fields, opening roads, bridg
ing streams. In fact, as the miners say,
doing development work, abcut all that
can reasonably be demanded? But we
must do the development work; otherwise
It would be as well to quit.
Cannot something be gained by economy
In; other directions? Can we be a little
stingy in other departments? Let's do less
printing and save In the printing offlce;
let's buy .fewer coyote scalps, do with less
clerk service in the Legislature, build a
few less public buildings, abandon about"
two normal schools and lop oft In other,
places.
