.ANOTHER TKIALFOK PEACE
CIVIC FEDEHATION FULL BZBCOTIVE
COMMITTEE TO MEET.
aiINERS WILLING TO AGREE TO ARBITRA
TION. but OPERATORS DOUBTFUL
NEW PLAN NOT DEFINED.
; ; I ;
Another attempt, ii was learned last evening,
•Kill be made by th« National Civic Federation
to eftect a pettlemmt <>f the anthracite miners 1
Strike, and a mo^-tlnc will !>° < ailed In this city
within ten days, unless the strike Is ended in the
jnean time. Under the bylaw? of the Civic Fed
eration its arbitration '-nmrnittr^ cannot act un
less both Hides to th^ dispute as=k for its services.
Jn this case, while the miners are willing to ac
cept the services of tbe jirbitration committee,
the operators have refused to -cree to arbitra
tion. (
The Civic Federation is now preparing to call
a meeting of its full executive committee to see
if any new plan can be arranged. Th- time for
the meeting is expected to be fixed early this
week, and must tab r^are. within ten days.
There are thirty-six members on the committee.
It includes Bishop Potter, who. as he is going
to Europe at once, will not be able to attend the
tweeting.
Both Bides to the dispute will be asked to send
representatives to the tn< ■ tin-, though the oper
ators have bo far resisted all overtures of the
Civic Federation. Whether the latter has any
reason to believe that its new idea will be suc
cessful could not be learned. A prominent
tnetnber of the executive committee said last
night that as both sides had had time to reflect
and the issues were not really very many, the
■difficulties between the operators and the miners
might be smoothed over, He thought that the
welfare of the public should carry some weight.
It was announced by Delegate Barry, of the
Sectors' Protective Union, who also represents
the Actors' National Protective Union, that the
latter had offered the services of its members
free in case benefits should be arranged to raise
jnoney for the striking miners. He sent word
to President Mitchell of the United Mine Work
ers to the came effect, be said.
It is understood that President Gempers of the
American Federation of Labor, who will be in
tills city to-day to adjust a quarrel between the
Brewery Workers' Union and the engineers' and
Jiremtm's unions, and who is on the executive
committee of the Civic Federation, will remain
In town until the coming meeting of that com
mittee is over.
Late last night 1t was said that at a meeting
of retail coal dealers held last week the fol
lowing prices had been arranged for this week:
Class No. I— All family coal and domestic
►lies raised from $•". 35 to |6SO a ten.
Class No. — Boarding houses, same rate.
Class No. H — Groceries, laundries, bakeries,
etc., price raised from $»» in to $7 25.
Class No. 4 — Apartment houses, churches,
eehools, etc., domestic, 55 50: soft coal. $4 25.
There •were more rumors last evening that J.
Fierpont Morgan had been asked to try to set

ber* of the Civic Federation who were seen

MITCH ELLS ONE AMBITION.
I IT WAS TO EAT A Blii, JUICT STEAK— AND
HE ACHIEVED IT.
Wilkesbarre. Perm.. May 25.— John Mitchell,
the national president of the T'nited Mine Work
ers, who is now much in the public eye owing
to the differences between the anthracite mine
workers :ind th-* operators, once had an am
bition which was gratified within three hours
and made him happy and care free, at the
time cf the strike of the fall of 1900. At thai
time he made his headquarters at Hazleton, a
typical mining town notorious for its poor
hotels He had been there several weeks when
he shifted the h.,idquarters to this city for a
while. Constantly the target for the myriad
questions of a host of newf paper men. sur
rounded all day and as late as he remained up
at night by eager and enthusiastic labor leaders,
with the power to continue thf strike which
was losing the miners $3,000,000 in wages a
month, and the operators more than that in
profit?, he was a man with ambitions. on«o n «
clever newspaper man taw opportunity and a
story.
"Mr. Mitchell." said he. one night, when con
ditions had reached a crisis, "what is your
highest ambition?"
It was expected that he would answer. "To
win the present strike." Instead, he drew his
questioner Into a corner.
"You want an honest answer?"
"Yes •
"I'll tell you. It has existed for a couple of
weeks. It is to eat a big, thick, tender and
Juicy beefsteak."
"You see," said Mitchell, explaining. "I hay
bern obliged to live at these ordinary hotels In
Hazleton. 1 have come here and must stop at
th» labor hotel, and th<* meals at bnth places,
■while good, are not always appetizing. When
I order steak they bring m* something that i«>
steak, no doubt, but it is hotel steak, thin, dry.
insipid and not the real article, such as— well,
you know."
The newspaper man did know. Half an hour
later a conspiracy was being hatched by the
leading newspaper mr j n. "The H«=rald," "The
World." "The Journal." "'The Sun" and The
Tribune" were represented, and a couple of Phil
adelphia writers were in it. At 10 that night
Mitchell and Henry cjeorge were spirited away,
and by devious paths led to a quiet little room
in an old German place, and there Mitchell
achieved his ambition, an old fashioned hr-ef
eteak and onion dinner, with the steak two
inches thick.
Meanwhile the mine workers and other news
paper men scurried about town, the rumor
spread that Mitchell was meeting the operators
In secret session, and there was great excite
ment. Few ever knew of the dinner, but th<
great labor leader will never forget when and
how he put aside ail cares, and with whole
hearted fellows, leaving the strike t;,lk far h.-
hind, shared a beefsteak ;tnd onions at Hau
mann'H.
COMPANIES HUSBANDING COAL,
STOPPAGE OF ANTHRACITE MINING THE most
COMPLETE EVER KNOWN.
Philadelphia. May 23.— ' The Ledger" In its coal
article to-morrow will say:
The anthrarlte coal movement durlner the past
week has been comparatively small. As mining has
erased, th" companies are husbanding their Mocks
and keeping most of the coal for th<--lr own us..
Retail prices have been advanced, and there have
been general notifications to large consumers tint
supplies will have to be cut off. Stocks arc low
and some anxiety Is felt as to the future. Them
is larger ordering of bituminous to replace the an
thracite, especially for steam uses, and the soft
coal consequently has come into much gre;uer de
mand. The lake ports report short Stocks of an
thracite, excepting at Chicago, where they claim
to have an ample supply for a month or two
there having be»n a pood deal sent there since
navigation opened. The stoppage of coal mining Is
the most complete ever known In the anthracite
fields.
