Wright, xommissioner of labor, went to Philadelphia, and gave to Mr. John Mitchell the following from the presi dent: " 'It Mr. Mitchell will secure tha Im mediate return to work of the miners in the anthracite region the president will at once appoint a commission to investigate thoroughly into sll the mat ters at issue between the- operators and miners and will do all within his power to obtain a settlement of those ques tions in accordance with the Teport of the commission.' ' "Mr. Mitchell has taken this matter under consideration, . but the president has not yet been advised of any de cision." - President Roosevelt early resumed con sideration of the e5al strike situation today. Attorney General Knox and Secretary Mocdy were with him by 10 s'clock and remained a half hour or so. They returned to th white house later in the day and found Postmaster Gen eral Payne with the President. The president al50 talked over the sltuatidn with Dr. Albert Shaw and Dr. Lyman Abbctt. . . j About 11:30 o'clock Frank P. Str-1 cent, commissioner of immigration! and Labor met here again this morclng. President Gompers and the members of the council declined to discuss the propor sition made by the president -to Presi-' dent Hitched of the United' (Mine Work ers end1 insisted that i cio't dis cussed ait the meeting today. 'Sir. Gom pers declared very iositively that the action of Governor Stone in- j sending: troops into the coal field will nojt re lieve the situation in the slightest de gree. ; - "If the president sends -the entire federal army into the coal fields it will' not anake the miners rffiuru to- work." declared Secretary Monlson. JIe ladd ed't "iPresident Mitchell has mot the au thority; to order the aniuers- to return to woife, no matter what the -situation, and you caa say to the xmblic that 'President 'Mtche31 iwiii'l not advise "the miners to go back to ithe mines unless they are granted more money and shorter hours. For this they will remain out until next spring, and they are in a position to .dp sto. It is now nip to the operaitors to mine the coal, if they an do it with out the union (miners. : Should LMr. Qlitcheli desire -the men to return to the mines he could not give any . asi-sorance that they will do so, unless he firt re ceives authority froca the minora' con vention. In riew -of Gorernor Stoae'a action I rannot see hoty the I tnlners could accept any 'proposition to return, to work short of coscessdons tfron tie operators." . ; iPresiden't Gompers held -praotlcaily the same view as .Secretary Morrison.

H mM that tho en-'C;al. Mr. K. A. Nelson, n p-!rt:er from Naval Officers Were Not Im pressed Favorably 'Washington, Oct. 7. The board of na val officers apipointed' several . months ago to ctmduct experiments in the use of oil -ifor .fuel on. ships of war bar pre pared a preliminary report which is not favorable to the installation of oil burn ing furnaces. The board tried fourteen dvlSFercnt oil burndng appliances, but the results show, it says, tha't even with the best possible inventions of this char acter, and every cire in using them, the outcome was far below what had been claimed" by the inventors and agents of oil eomvanios. vAccoru'ing to the board even with oil at one dollar a barrel, the results would net be as good as from. an economical standpoint as with the use of coal, which is much dearer. Another point made by where he went as the emissary of the president to convey to President Mitchell the proposition of the president that the miners resume woTk. Mr. Sargent had not succeeded in seeing Mr. Mitchell. The president, however, had heard from Commissioner Wright, who saw Mrr. Mitchell On the same errand in Phila delphia, and the latter's report was that Mr. Mitchell desired time to consider the proposition and layit b.efore his associates. v After a conference of an hour be tween the president and Attorney Gen eral Knox.

Today and yesterday were the first in tlrree weeks without a strike of the school children in some part of the eoar-j region, and the school officials believe t is due to the new plan for the boards In the laTge towns of suspending the strikers . and threatening their parents with th enforcement cf the compulsory education act.
