In my Judgment the situation imperatively requires that you meet upon the common plane of the necessities of the public.

N. J., Oct. 4.— Charles Cole, president of the local Iron MolderB' union, went to the Empire Foundry this morning and ordered all the moulders out on strike. A short time later, the superintendent cf the plant, Charles Wales, met Cole on the street and red a shot at him lrom a revolver. The bullet went wide of its mark. Wales was arrested. ; and Operators as Far Apart as Ever. At the close of Sir. liner's remarks Mr. Mitchell spoke as follows: Mr. Mitchell'* Reply. Made Occasion of Reviving the Army Scandal.

Mr. President, at the conference this morning we, the accredited representatives 4jf the anthracite coal mine workers, were much impressed with the views you expressed and the dangers to the welfare of our country from a prolongation of the coal strike that you so clearly pointed out. Conscious of the responsibility resting upon us, conscious of our duty to society, conscious of our obligations to the 150,000 mine workers whom we have the honor to represent, we have after most careful consideration and with the hope of relieving the situation and averting the sufferings and hardships which would Inevitably follow in the wake of a coal famine decided to propose a resumption of coal mining upon the lines hereinafter suggested. i ii ■ iWON'T RECOGNIZE UNION.

Before doing so, Mr. President, we desire to sjiy that we are not prompted to suggest this course because of any doubts of the Justice of our claims. In deference to your wishes we are prompted by no fear on our part of our ability to continue the contest to a successful Issue. Thanks to the generous assistance rendered us by our fellow workers in this and other lands, thanks to a Justice loving American public, whose sympathies arc always on the side of right, we are able to continue the struggle indefinitely. But, confident of our ability to demonstrate to any impartial tribunal the equity of our demands for higher wages and improved environment, we propose that the issues culminating in this strike shall be referred to you and a tribunal of your own selection and agree to accept your award upon all or any of the questions involved.

We are willing to meet the gentlemen representing the coal operators to try to adjust our differences among ourselves. If we cannot adjust them that way, Mr. President, we ure willing that you shall name a tribunal who shall determine the issues that have resulted in the strike, and if the gentlemen representing the operators accept the award or decision of such a tribunal the miners will willingly accept it, even if it is against their claims. Paris, Oct. 4—In consequence of a pathetic interview which former Captain Dreyfus had with the widow of Kmile Zola he has decided not to attend the funeral of tlie great novelist, this despite the fact that Dreyfus was most anxious to attend the services, considering it to be a duty which he owed to the memory of the man who had done so much for him. h latere«t» to Act Together For the i ' General Good-Bner'i Reply Shown BRENNAN ft ROBERTS, Corner Main and Thomas Streets, Next to Eagle Hotel.

Evans Bros. The conference then adjourned until 8 o'clock. Upon reassembling the operators submitted statements in the following order: President Haer of the Reading railroad, President Mitchell of the Mine Workers, President Thomas of the Brie railroad, Mr. Markle, an Independent operator; President Truesdale of the Lackawanna railroad, Mr. Wilcox, vice president and general counsel of the Delaware and Hudson railroad, and Sir. fowler of the New York, Ontario and Western railroad. The statements of the operators other than Mr. Haer were then read. They were similar to that made by the president of the Iteading company. Farther Statement by Mitchell. "I ought not to take into account eventualities which I am far from seeking." The president then asked Mr. Mitch ell if he had anything further to say, Mr. Mitchell said: When you buy Groceries It is well to remember we are always Lowest in Price. Widow Moved to Teara. The charge made by the gentlemen that twenty murders have been committed in the anthracite coal regions during the present strike is untrue. If they will name the men and will show that they have committed the murders, I will resign my position. That is a fair proposition. Mr. President, that is a fair example of how our organization and our people are maligned. The truth of the matter Is, as far as I know, there have been seven deaths unfortunately. No one regrets them more than I do. Three of them were committed by the coal and iron police, .and no one else has been charged with them. God knows the miners do not escape being charged with everything done there. Mme. Zola then was moved to tears and supplicated Dreyfus to abandon the idea, and Dreyfus, who himself displayed much emotion, responded: A sale that offers m you the most ele- Kant Shirt Waists for less than their cost.

I can bring affidavits of a hundred people If necessary that the lightning caused one burning that they charged to the United Mine Workers. The general opinion here is that M. Dreyfus acted most wisely In acceding to Mme. Zola's prayer. The Nationalist press in the articles published during Dreyfus to be present at the funeral of his friend wus really provoking him. to nttend, while at the same time in other articles this press wus stirring public feeling against him. Comrades and their friends are requested not to pay any attention to such mlstatements. They come in white and colors, of a pretty make and good material. It's worth going a mile out of your way to get a bargain like this You distinctly say that you "do not invite a discussion of your respective claims and positions." But we assume that a statement of what is going on in the coal regions will not be irrelevant. We represent tho owners of coal mines in Pennsylvania. There are from 15,009 to 20,000 men at work mining and preparing coal. They are abused, assaulted, injured and maltreated by the United Workers. They can only work under the protection of armed guards. Thousands of other workmen are deterred from working by the intimidation, violence and crimes inaugurated by the United Mine Workers, over/whom John Mitchell, whom you invited to meet you, is chief.

Thus detled, Dreyfus wus compelled, for the suke of his own dignity, to announce his Intention of making supreme bomnge to the mail who so bravely defended him.

The "domestic tranquillity" which every constitution declares is the chief object of government does not exist in the coal regions. There is a terrible reign of lawlessness and crime there. Only the lives and property of the members of the secret oathbound order which declared that the locals should "have full power to suspend operations at collieries" until the nonunion men joined their order are safe. Every efTort is made to prevent the mining of coal, and when mined Mitchell's men dynamite bridges and tracks, mob trainmen and by all manner of violence try to prevent its shipment to relieve the public.

(new phone) J-B-CARPENTER,eieter st. eieter me The constitution of Pennsylvania guarantees protection to life and property. In express terms it declares the right of acquiring, possessing and defending property "to be inalienable." When a riot and anarchy too great to be appeased by the civil power occur, the governor of Pennsylvania is bound Jto call out the state troops to suppress It. He must fearlessly use the whole p*wer of the state to protect life and property and to establish peace—not an armed truce, but the peuce of the law which protects every man at work and going to and from work. He has sent troops to the coal regions. Gradually the power of. the law Is asserting Itself. Unless encouraged by false hopes order will soon be restored, and then we can mine coal to meet the public wants. If the power of Pennsylvania is insufficient to re-establish the reign of law, the constitution of the United States requires the president when requested by the legislature and the governor "to suppress violence." You see, there is a lawful way to secure cool for the public. . are the essential features of TAILORING and are always embodied in the Built-to-Order Garments of Killings that last. Dr. Welsh, 14 S.
