'Mitchell then .rnnQe -bis state- state of lawlessness exists in the state of Pennsylvania. To a man up a tree, therefore, it looks as if the president has exhausted his power in today's, effort to bring the coal operators and the miners together. But It fs not at all certain that this is the president's views of the cae. Plain ly his sympathies are with the striking miners, aa he makes no concealment of his belief .that the coal famine is due in i large measure at least to misman-asT-meut on the part of the operators of the mines who, he thinks, have lined their pockets at the expense of the people, whatever crimes may 'have been, committed bv the nnion against those whom they have prevented from going to work. It Is thought that Mr. Roosevelt will not be long In making up his mind to take some definite action. All Wash ington is waiting with bated- breath to see what the president will do next, and undoubtedly the whole country is in the same state of painful spense. In the opinion of those who know the presi dent best, the people will not have long to wait. It is possible tont he may, after reflection, decide to do nothing.
