Mr. Roosevelt Urged Both Sides to Settle Their Differences n the In terest of the PuWiff-Welfare. Washington, Special.-r-The greafcoal conference between the President and representatives of the operators and the miners, came to an end at the tem porary White, House, f acing' Lafayette Square, at 4:55 o'clock Friday after noon, with a failure to reach an agree ment. Apparently the rock upon which the conference split was recognition of the miners' union, The ..President had Urged the contending parties" to cease Btrifo in the Interests of the public wel fare; the miners, through the president of their union, had" exp'rjessed a willingness-, to submit dlnerences ' to " the Brbitration of a tribunal to be named by the President and to enter into an agreement to abide by the terns fixed by the arbitration for a period of from one to-five years, and the employers, fvr01," fir. nrpsirionta rf th. -tnllrnail ur ..oal companies, and a leading inde pendent mine operator, had squarely refused arbitration, had denounced the miners' labor organization as a lawless and anarchistic body, with which they could and would have, no dealings; had demanded Federal troops to ensure complete protection to workers and their families in the mining region and court proceedings against the . miners union, and 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. TPlft trio moffai ir-vcrl I. v . It was a remarkable chapter in the economical history of the country that was written. For the. first time the President of the republic "bad inter vened directly between the great forces Df capital and labor in an effort to avert what he himself regarded as a great controversy face to face with the whole country eagerly intent upon and watch ful of their doings. Technically, the issues between the two great v-forces stand as they did before the President summoned the representatives of the contending forces to the national cap ital, and forgetting his own acute suf : fering besought them for .love of the country wherein thev dwelt and nnt nt pity ror the countless throng of suffer ing poor, to adjust their differences and work together in peace for the' Com monwealth. What, if anything, will re ' suit from the conference islor'the in definite future. The conference opened a few minutes after 11 o'clock- and two sessions were held. : ' ; The immediate parties to the strike 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 with closely set jaw, was asked regarding this and replied: "If any one knows what the President will ao not, that Is more than I know." Fourteen men, including the Presi dent, were in the second story in the room at the temporary White House during the momentous I- conference- President Mitchell and three of his dis trict leaders represented ;the miners and five railroad men and one Inde pendent mine operator the employers. With the President were Attorney Gen eral Knox, commissioner of Labor Wright and Secretary Cortelyou. All xae caomet, save! Attorney General Knox, kept aloof during the conference, .but between the two meetings and af terward several of the President's ad visers called upon him to talk over the situation. What took place at the meet ing is set out in ample statements made hv pon eUi nwA - -1 A 1 by themselves and also officially at the White House. " - - T .- During the conference the President listened to both sides with the greatest , eagerness. . Immediately (after Its ad ; journment, his -physicians,'; Surgeon General Rlxey and Dr.. Lung;' insisted on making an examination of his .wound and redressing it.' Apparently no ill effects had! resulted from tho excitement of the day, and at abater call, at 8 o'clock, iDr. Lung announced that the President's condition-was sat isfactory, i - i i " The President's statement, is as fol-: We are willing to meet the' gentlemen representing the coal operators to try to adjust our.ainerences among our selves. If we cannot adjust them that way, President, we are willing that you shall name a tribunal who shall de termine the issues that have resulted in the strike and if the gentlemen rep resenting the operators will accept the award or decision of such a tribunal, the miners will willingly accept it, even if it is against their claims. The President Washington Special. The , ceremo nies incident to the beginning fof the thirty-sixth : encampment of the Grand Army of the - Republic, which .' com menced - here Monday, were varied ii character and mostly only - semi-offi cial. The only formal proceeding of the day was the dedication of Camp Roose BefoVe considering the tent pity on the White Hons what ought tobe done; I think it only Just to both of you both sides and desirable from my standpoint that you should have time to consider , what I have stated aa to the reason for my getting you together, and I shall tres pass so far upon your good nature as to ask .that this interview cease now, and 'that you come back at 3. o'clock. I should like you to think over what I have stated, not to - decide - now, - but give it careful thought and return at 3 o'clock. - The conference then adjourned until S' o'clock. Upon re-assembling, Mr. Baer spoke as follows: "Mr. President: -Do we understand you correctly that we will be expected to answer the proposition submitted by Mr. Mitchell this morning?" - The President: "It. will be a pleasure to me to hear any answer that you are willing to make." Mr. Baer: 'I have prepared an an swer." : The President then asked Mr, Mitch ell of he had anything further to say. Mr. Mitchell said:. "The charge made by the gentlemen that 20 murders have been committed in the anthracite coal regions during the present strike is un true. 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. Presi dent, that is a fair example of how our organizatian and our people are ma ligned. 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 oolice and no one else has been charged with them. God knows the miners do not escape being charged with every thing done there. They speak about burnings. There was a reward offered for burnings. I can bring affidavits of a hundred people if necessary that the lightning caused one burning that they charged to the United Mine Workers; Mr. President, I have admitted on more than one occasion that there has been some lawlessness, but I will say that a large portion of such lawlessness hag been provoked by, criminals who have been brought" into the anthracite re gions to recruit the iron and coal po lice. I want to say, Mr. President, that I feel very keenly the attacks made upon me and my people, but I came here with jibe intention of doing noth ing and saying nothing that would af fect conciliation." The President then asked the repre sentatives of the anthracite companies whether they would accept Mr. Mitch ell's proposition.' They answered "No." In response to a future question from the President: they stated that they would have no dealings- whatever with Mr. Mitchell, looking toward a settle ment of the question at issue,-and that they had no other proposition to make save what was contained in the state ment of Mr. Baer, which, in effect, was that if any man chose to resume work and bad a difficulty with liis employer both should leave the settlement of the question to the judge of the Court of Common Pleas of the district in which the mine was located. grounds, which will be the headquar ters -of the several corps organizations!

Of Ihis welcome they found generous evidence on every, hand. The events of the day, outside the dedica tion ieremonies at Camp Roosevelt," included a fine regatta on the Potomac, an attractive.automobile parade, an in teresting procession by the Red Men of this city and neighboring cities and camp fires in the evening. Commander-in-Chief Torrence and his staff kept open house all day at the Ebbftt House and received many hundreds of callers. -At night the veterans and their friends were entertained by an exhibition of fireworks on the Washington monu ment grounds. The principal scene rep resented was tho rescue of the diplo matic legations at Pekln, in which 300 persons' were engaged. Brigadier General Jacob H.

He spent part of the day at the War Department visiting old friends. , . v Camp Roosevelt, which is to be the head of the various army corps repre sented here during the week of the Grand Army encampment, was formal ly dedicated at 4:30 o'clock Monday af ternoon. The camp is on the White House lot just west of the White House and "between that building and the Washington monument. Addresses were made by Commissioner B. F. Mc Farland, of the District of Columbia; Secretary of State Hay Secretary of the ' Navy Moody and Commander-in-Chief Torreice, of the Grand Army of the Republic, and others. Secretary oMody said he had asked Admiral Dewey how he had felt in con templating the mines and torpedoes in Manila Bay the night before attacking the Spanish fleet in the harbor of that city and that the admiral's reply was that he had simply asked himself what Farragutwould have done if he had been confronted with similar condi tions. The Secretary concluded that men inspired by such traditions as these never could turn their back on the flag.
