THE OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT Mitchell Bslieves That a Complete, Satisfactory and Permanent Solution of the Troubles in the Ceal Fields Will be Reached (By the Associated Press.) Washington, I). C., Oct. 17.—The re sponse of John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers, to President Roosevelt’s notification that he had ap pointed a commission, was made public today. It informs him of the action of the executive boards of Districts 1,7 and 9 in calling a convention and agreeing to recommend unanimously the resump tion of work and the submission of the differences between the “operators and the mine workers of the anthracite coal fields” to the commission. The reply expresses confidence that the convention will agree to the arbitration of the “eminent and impartial men” chosen bv the President, and expresses gratitude to the President for his patriotic efforts to bring about an honorable settlement of the strike. The reply goes at length into the grievances of the miners, and concludes with the expression of the hope and belief from his arbitra tion will come "a complete, satisfactory, and permanent solution of the troubles which have vexed the anthracite field for time immemorial.” The President, in his telegram to Mr. Mitchell, announced the appointment of the commission, and said: “It is a matter o's vital concern to all our people and especially to those in our great cities who are least well off that the mining of coal should be re sumed without a day s unnecessary de lay.” Mr. Mitchell’s reply recounts the ef forts of the miners’ organization to se cure arbitration, and goes into a de fense of the union and its demands, say ing: “If our proffer of arbitration or im partial investigation had been accepted six months ago instead of now, there need have been no strike. We have been so eager, Mr. President, to respond to the people’s demand for coal, that dur ing the progress of the strike we have more than cnce offered arbitration, but we have invariably been met with the re ply, ‘We will not permit outsiders to dictate to us in the management of our affairs; we have nothing to arbitrate.’ , “Now that the managers of the com- Panics have been compelled by you and 1 a thoroughly aroused public conscience I 10 recede from this position, we are j proud that tiie firmness and the heroisc j endurance of our men and women in | support of their rights and of a vital American principle have won the vie- 1 tory. ‘‘ Th? Poor, under-paid mine workers, of these coal regions, who toil hard from early morning until late at night tor a livelihood, nobly supported by or ganized labor in this and other lands, have taught these corporation managers a useful lesson in civic and social duty. " e exult « v cr this tribute to the dignity Os labor, because it i 3 the triumph of light and of good public policy. “We do not, however, exult over our opponents; we appeal to them now, as. we have from the first, to turn their eyes to the future and to eo-operate with us m an effort to establish better relation* between employer and employe for the advantage of both. Wo iorgivc them their arrogant refu sal to deal with us, and in this hour "Tien h>y are forced to acknowledge their inability io op'rate their mints without our consent and co-operation, we hold out tight hand of friendship and ask them to join with us In securing amicable rela iions and wholesome conditions in this legion. We forgive them even the false accusations which they have made against us. Ihe pretense of the operators that ilie\ were unable to produce coal bo <ausc intimidation kept from work men who were willing to work, has been pro- ! ve„ false ,>y he fact that the protec tion whi.'h h»y demanded has decreased rather than increased the number of men mining coal. “The operators declared that they v-onbl have nothing to do with the Unl ie-1 Mine Workers of America, but they have found it necessary to recognize the power of the United Mine Workers of America, through you. Mr. President, and i to seek terms of peace which will in- i able them to resume their business ol ! mining and selling coal. The recognition of our stlength thus forced upon the op- i orators bv stern necessity we exult over I not in any narrow spirit, but because we believe it marks a forward step to ward a new era. Upon the foundations laid through war we are ready to join with them in building for better condi tions and a long and lasting peace. P’ne United Mine Workers of America, sine*- its organization in the anthracite field lias constantly sought to establish: First. —Fair wages and just conditions of labor; conditions just to both operators and miners. We have never made de mands beyond the ability of the industry to pay on a basis of equitable division of profits between labor and capital. “Second.—Amicable relations between employers and employees. *he latter speaking through their organization and their organization aiding the companies in maintaining discipline, adjusting all difficulties by conciliatory methods, averting local strikes and lock-outs and securing stable and satisfactory condi tions to the industry. Our organization by the same methods which we have pro posed here, has secured just such rela tions and just such results in the coal fields of the country. Organization, like aD individual, must stand upon what it has done and the life it has lived. We invite scrutiny and investigation of our record and character. In the soft coal fields we have joint conferences with the operators and with them we adjust dif ferences, we sign joint agreements, to gether. we preserve discipline, settle dis putes, and maintain harmony and stabil ity in the trade. Upon our past record we are willing to stand or fall. We have, time aud time again, invited the anthracite operators to adopt these busi ness methods and to deal with us on this basis. Despite repeated rebuffs, we per sisted, but they resented any attempt upon our part to organize their employes; they refused our overtures for amicable discussion and possible satisfactory ad justment of wage differences in joint con ference*. “When the inevitable conflict came on, they attempted to justify’ themselves upon the false plea that ours is an ir responsible organization: when we de monstrated our responsibility they then asserted that we were a lawless organi zation which was dominated by violence. When society attempted to interefere to settle the strike, they declared their di vinely appointed right to be let alone. When representatives of National and State governments tried to mediate they resented ‘such meddling by politicians.’ But thanks to you. Mr. President, and to the power of public opinion, they have been brought to a realization of the fact that the interests anil welfare of the American people cannot be ignored with impunity. “By the eminent tribunal which you have named, wo have confidence that justice will be done our people. We are glad to have a chance to appear before such a court empowered to consider and dispose of all questions at issue. First among these is the demand of the mins workers for increased wages and a reduc tion in the hours of labor; second, is the 1 relation which ought to exist between the employers and the organization which the men have formed and which they authorize to spea kfor them.’’ PLAY AT CHARLOTTE TODAY- The University Team Leaves to Meet Davidson on the Gridiron. (Special (n News end Observer.) Chapel Hill, N. Oct. 17.—The Uni versity football team, consisting of six teen members, under the management of Mr. William Dunn, Jr., of Newbern, left this afternoon for Charlotte, where on tomorrow afternoon it will meet the strong -avidson team to battle for grid iron honors. It will be a hard fought battle from start to finish. The*David son bovs are very hopeful of victory and claim that the recent score with Furman is not indicative of their due strength, as Capt.

NORTH CAROLINA, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER )8. 1902. ROHRS 8F APPLAUSE GREET MR, KITCRIN He Replies at Proximity to Patterson’s Charges. NOT EVENTHEGHOST LEFT The Mill People so Wild and the Enthusiasm is so Tumultuous Kitchin has to atk Them to Draw it Milder. (Special to News and Observer.) Greensboro, N. (\ # Oct. 17.—An over flowing house and an audience full of en thusiasm greeted Hon. VV. W. Kitchin at Proximity last night. So great was the enthusiasm at times that the speaker had to ask the crowd to dcrist. Mr. Kitchin is known as a line speak er, but he surpassed himself last night. His purpose was to answer the charges made against him by Lindsey Patt rson. To do this and at the same time make a speech covering the absorbing issues of the day was a difficult task, but this Mr. Kitchin successfully accomplished. He explained his efforts to get Mr. Pat terson to speak with him, all of which had been futile; then he ~ook up he charges Mr. Patterson made against him aud tore the stuffin' out of them. He showed from his point of view that Mr. Patterson was not a Democrat desiring Democratic success, but a Republican: that in Forsyth county he was in favor of electing the Republican ticket and could not deny it and that this was one of the reasons why he coull not face him; that if asked whom he would support for Speaker of the next House, if elected, be dared not say. No man, he said, had a right to sa.il under false colors; he had a leg; ! rigli to be a Republican, though he was doubt ful about the morals right of it. Mr. Patterson had charged that the speaker would destroy the banks of Greensboro, when, as a matter of fact, he had worked to sustain the banks spoken, of. He had voted against the Fowler bill which would authorize the metropolitan banks, the very large banks of the cities to establish branches at will: this would create a monopolv and drive out the small an injustice not to be thought of, just as the great American Tobacco Company had driven every independent manufacturer from the field. \ Patterson’s charges against him about the currency bill were likewise exploded completely. He had voted against the Philippine cable bill for two reasons — (here was a job in it and further, he thought we were a little too mixed up with that country already and it was not desirable to get any closer. His posi lion on the Philippine question was made clear and that the audience was in sym pathy with him was shown by the ap plause, at times “long, loud and contin uous.'’ Not fip‘ least interesting was his refu tation of the charge of Patterson that he —Kitchin —was opposed to corpora tions. He said he was opposed to all trusts, but that all corporations were not trusts by any means; then he ex plained the difference, using the American Tobacco Company as an illustration of a trust and lie made it so plain that any one could see it, while he made it hot for all trusts. With great power and logic he* drove every illustration home. The great bulk of his hearers were mill people and bis speech was very effective. TO MEET WITHIN TEN DAYS.

TURNER The Tragedy Followed a Quarrel Over an Alleged Shortage in Tinner's Accounts. His Victims W, J. Mallard, Robert Hamil on ai d Himsrlf. (By Associated Press.) New York, Oct. 17.—Using a new au tomatic magazine pistol. William C. Turner, former president and treasurer of the Climax Bottling Company, today shot and killed W. J. Mallard, secretary and treasurer of the company, and Ro bert Hamilton, its president, and then killed himself with the same weapon. A second revolver, loaded in every cham ber, was found in Turner's pocket, and it is believed he planned to take more lives than he did. The shooting was caused by a quarrel between the three men over an alleged shortage in Turner's accounts- for which he was threatened w ith criminal prosecu tion. The tragedy occurred in the of fices of the law firm of Cantor, Adams and Mclntyre in the heart of the Wall street district during the busy noon hour. Turner, who was 45 years of age and lived at Mount Vernon, N- Y., a suburb of this city, was a cousin of Governor Odell, of this State, and the head of the law firm in whose offices the shooting occurred in President Cantor of the Borough of Manhattan. Soon after the shots rang out in nthe office building, a wild rumor was started that the borough president had been killed. All of the principals of the tragedy were married. Mallard was 20 years old. a native of Atlanta, Ga., where ho was well-known in business and social cir cles. He was president of the Young Men's Democratic Club there. He had been In this city about four years and lived with his wife and two children in ‘an uptown flat. Hamilton lived in Pittsburg, where he was president of the J. T. and A, Hamilton glass factories. He was about fit) years old. He arrived in this city yesterday in response to a tele gram frciw Turner, which said: “Meet me in New ork Friday and I will settle with you.”*' The three men met in the law offices by ai pointment to allow Turner to make a partial settlement and he was asked for a certified check. “1 have it, he said, and th**n he closed the door of the room. An instant later he drew a re volver and began firing. Mallard fell, shot through the heart, and Hamilton lived only a few moments. A number of other persons who were in the room, clerks and members of the firm, fled in a panic. After killing Hamilton and Mallard, Turner shot himself in the head. Some moments later, hearing no more shooting the persons wro fled ventured back into tin* room and found the three bodies. Turner retired as president of the Climax Bottling Company last April when he was bought out by Hamilton. After the sale it was discovered,, in examining the books of the concern, that there was a shortage of $5,100 in Turner's accounts. The Climax Company engaged John F. Mclntyre, former assistant district at torney, and M. Goodman, both of the firm in whose offices the shooting occur red today, to effect a settlement with Turner, and he engaged Edgar Leventrilt to represent bis interests. Some diffi culty bad been met with in the negotia tions which followed between the law yers, but it was finally agreed to accept $1,700 and give Turner a release in full. Last night it was agreed that the settle ment should take place in the office of Cantor, Adams & Mclntyre today at 11 o'clock. Before he left the conference last night, Turner anxiously asked that Mr. Mc- Intyre be present at today's meeting, and Mr. Mclntyre has said since the shooting that he did not like Turner's manner yes terday, a s the latter seemed, in his opin ion. to bear himself recklessly and with the demeanor of a man who might do almost any desperate act. At the appointed hour today. Turner, with his lawyer, entered the law office. Mr. Goodman ushered Turner and his lawyer into the private office of Mr. Adams. Levontritt, it is said, told Turner to remain outside. Turner refused, sav ing that he wanted to close the matter at once. Turner immediately after en tering asked for Mr. Mclntyre and show ed anger when told he would not be at the conference. Negotiations so ra settlement began at once, Messrs. Hamilton, Mallard and Goodman and Adams being present, beside Turner and his attorney. The conference at first was in the firm’s general offices, but later Mallard asked to si e Mr.-Adams and Mr. Hamilton in Adams' private office, Turner having refused certain propositions. While the conference in the private office was going on. Turner walked in. His lawyer asked him for his cheek to be used in (hi* settlement, and Turner said, “Yes, T'll let you have it.” Then Turner closed the door of the of fice. lie was facing Mr. Mallard, who bad risked him. for the certified check. An instant after he bad shut the door. ii“ drew a revolver and. pointing il at Mallard, e-id, ’ 1 will kill you. you —) lf . fired two shots at Mallard. Instantly thcr»* was a wild scramble on Lite part of (lo* others in the room. All except Hamilton dashed for the door, but Hamilton, when Tur ner fired, sprang at him to grapple. Tur ner was too quick for him, however, and dropping his weapon to a level with his victim’s breast fired. There is no witness to what followed. Mr. Leven t.ritt, at the first appearance of the re volver, rushed out of the room, leaving bis hat behind. Goodman followed Lev ontritt and Adams jumped to his feet as soon as Mallard was shot, brushed pastj Turner and got out of the office. As they left the room more shots were heard, followed by two heavy falls. There was consternation in the office. Clerks, boys and several women em ployees were, for a few minutes, too frightened to do anything. When persons connected with the law offices ventured back into the robm they found the three bodies lying close to gether. On Turner's body w-as found an un signed telegram reading: “Telephone message received. Will ac cept $2,700 either from Hamilton or Mal lard.” On Turner’s eoVpse the coroner also found a certified cheek for $2,700. The latter Is regarded as throwing a peculiar light on the ease, for it is thought to indicate that Turner went to the offices with the probable intention of paying the sum of money which was to have set tled the difficulty. If he did intend to pay, it is argued, ho changed his mind suddenly and decided to kill. Well Known in Atlanta. (By Associated Press.) Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 17.—W. -J. Mallard was one of the best known young men in Atlanta. He was prominent in real estate, political and social circles, tho son of a well-known lawyer and a man jof many friends.

Five months of restricted fuel production had begun to check the wheels at many manufacturing centers, while there was a perceptible diminution in consumptive demands as the purchasing power ot the wage-earners steadily de creased. Savings have been exhausted and much money has gone out of tile country because of this struggle, but the nation’s remarkably strong position as sures a speedy restoration of prosperous conditions.
