COMMON GROUND OF AGREEMENT
REACHED BY PRESIDENT'S:
EFFORTS.
ARBITRATION BOARD IS NAMED
WILL CONSIDER AND PASS UPON
ALL QUESTIONS AT
ISSUE.
MINING TO BEGIN NEXT WEEK
MITCHELL WILL TAKE IMMEDIATE
MEASURES TO CALL THE
STRIKE OFF.
Washington, Oct. 17.—The great an
thracite coal strike is settled at last.
A commission of six persons, with a
seventh, Mr. Carroll D. Wright as re
corder, will adjust differences between
the operators and miners. President
Mitchell of the miners' union will take
the necessary measures to call the
strike off. The president will urge im
mediate resumption of mining and op
erators are expected to begin next
next week.
Announcement that the great strike
was off was made by Secretary Root
with exurberant good humor at the
White House shortly after 1 o'clock
this morning. Organized labor has a
representative on the commission in
the person of E. E. Clark, grand chief
of the Order of Railway conductors,
named as a sociologist. The president
added Bishop Spalding of Illinois to
the list of the commission. He is per
fectly satisfactory to both miners and
operators.
Assent of the Miners
was given through President Mitchell
and Sargent, commissioner of immi
gration, and of the operators through
Messrs Robert Bacon and George W.
Perkins of the banking firm of J. P.
Morgan & Co. The final outcome fol
lowed a series of conferences, begirt
ning with two during the day with Mr.
MitchelL and two during the night
with Messrs Bacon and Perkins.
Events moved quickly at the last, the
president being determined on a
speedy settlement. The commission
will assemble in a few days and
choose a chairman,'probably Gen. Wil
son. It then will arrange for sessions
and testimmony.
The following official statement an
nouncing the close of the strike was
issued at the- White House at 2:20
a. m.:
After a conference with Mr. Mitch
ell and some further conference with
representatives of the coal operators,
the president has appointed the mem
bers of the commission to inquire into,
consider, and
Pass Upon All Questions
at issue between the operators and
miners in the anthracite coal fields:
Brig. Gen. John M. Wilson, United
States army, retired, late chief of en
gineers, U. S. A. Mr. E. W. Parker,
Washington, D. C., as an expert min

gist Mr. Thomas H. Watkins, Scran
ton, Pa., as a man practically ac
quainted with the mining and selling
of coal Bishop John L. Spalding of
Peoria, 111. The president has added
Bishop Spalding's name to the com
mission.
Hun. Carroll D. Wright has been ap
pointed as recorder of the commission.
Convention Must Be Called.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 17.—President
Mitchell was informed of the news
from Washington, and when asked for
a statement made the positive state
ment that a delegate convention must
first pass upon the question of calling
off the strike. From the calling of the
convention to its adjournment is only
a matter of three or four days. There
is hardly any doubt that a convention
will stand by any agreement he has
made with President Roosevelt.
Later—When Mr. Mitchell learned
the personnel of the commission and
was asked for a further statement he
replied that he would have nothing
further to say until morning.
President Dines Out.
Washington, Oct. 17. Presideni
Roosevelt went out socially last night
for the first time since the operation
was performed on his leg at Indian
apolis. It also was the first time he
had walked in public. His leg ap
parently has recovered a large meas
ure of its strength and he no longer
has to use a crutch. No limp is ob
servable. The president, after his
conference with President.. Mitchell,
went out for a drive through the sub
urbs. It lasted about two hours. On
bis return he donned his dress suit
and about 8 o'clock walked over to
Secretary Hay's, where he had ac
cepted an invitation to dine-informally
with a few friends. The two houses
are about a block and a half apart.
The president remained at the
secre­
tary's until nearly 10 o'clock, return
ing afoot. Apparently there was no
difficulty in his movements, though his
pace was not rapid as is customary
with him. On reaching his temporary
heme he went upstairs and at once
plunged into the strike problem, that at
present is absorbing almost all his
time and energy. f.-

COAL COMPANIES PREPARING FOR
EXTRA EFFORTS TO MOVE
COAL.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 18.—The ex
ecutive boards of tbe three anthracite
districts of the United Mineworkers of
America, in joint session yesterday,
unanimously decided to recommend to
a delegate convention of striking
miners the acceptance of the arbitra
tion proposition submitted by the pres
ident of the United States, and it is
reasonably certain that the advice
will be followed and the great struggle
brought to a close. The convention
will be convened in this city Monday
morning, and it is the hope and be
lief of the officers of the union that the
mining of coal will be resumed before
the close of next week after a suspen
sion of more than five months. The
citizens of the entire region are much
elated that the strife is almost over,
because business in the coal fields has
been practically paralyzed since the
strike began.
From the time the news was re
ceived late Wednesday night until
about 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
there was some doubt as to how the
miners would receive the modified
plan. President Mitchell cleared up
the situation by issuing the following
bulletin:
Accepted by Mitchell.
"Appreciating the anxiety and impa
tience of the public and the mine
workers for some authoritative state
ment from this office, I issue this bul
letin to say that I was unalterably op
posed to the acceptance of or acquies
cence in the form of settlement pro
posed by the coal operators, because it
restricted the president of the United
States in making selection of the men
who were to determine the questions
involved in the coal 'strike.
"These restrictions having been re
moved and representation given to or
ganized labor as well as to organized
capital, I lam now prepared to give my
personal approval to a settlement of
the issues involved in this strike by
the commission selected by the pres
ident, and shall recommend to the ex
ecutive officers of Districts 1, 7 and 9,
in their meeting to-day, that an imme
diate call be issued for a convention,
whose authorization is riecessary to
declare the strike at an end.
"In the meantime, I trust that the
people of our country will be as pa
tient as possible, as we are moving
rapidly as the interests of our peopie
will permit."
Will Be at Work Next Week.
When this was read to the arriving
district leaders and groups of miners
who came to headquarters to learn the
news, general satisfaction was ex
pressed that Mr. Mitchell was willing
to accept the modified plan, and from
that time on there was no doubt that
the strike would be brought to a
speedy close.
If the plans of the strike leaders are
not disarranged a general resumption
of mining will take place about next
Thursday. There will not be enough
work at first for all the strikers, as it
is the intention of the companies not
to dismiss non-union men who have
stood by them during the strife. The
organization will take 'care of such oth
er men as are unable to find work. It
is estimated that all will not find work
until two or three months have
elapsed. This is due to the conditions
of the mines. Some of them are wholly
or partially flooded and others need
repairing.
Coal companies, anticipating the
ending of the strike next week, are
busily engaged in preparing for re
sumption. Tens of thousands of coal
cars are in the region ready for load
ing, and extra efforts will be made in
moving them to, the large distributing
centers once mining is resumed. It is
estimated that more than 200 of the
350 collieries will be in operation by
the end of next week, and will produce
enough coal to relieve the situation.

An authority in coal mining, said

BIG MEAT MERGER.
Combine of Packers Will Be Floated
By the First of December.
Chicago, Oct. 6. Plans for the
great packets' combine have been suc
cessfully perfected to the satisfaction
of all large interests in vol vied, and
Dec. 1 has been set, cdhtingent upon
the condition of the money market, as
the time for publicly launching the
gigantic enterprise.
If the money market by Dec. 1 is
easy and favorable the combine will
be floated. The firm of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., the New York bankers and finan
ciers, will head the underwriting syn
dicate. That firm has brought about
the successful and harmonious close
of the negotiations^ after months of
toil. The deal will involve millions
of dollars of the different packing
houses, and next to the steel trust is
expected to be the biggest merger
ever brought about.
The hitch which existed and delayed
perfecting the combine has been on
account of Swift & Co., and it was not
until recently that a compromise was
reached. When the stock of the pack
ers' combine is floated the stock of
Swift & Co. will be taken over on a
basis of $200 a share in the.new se
curities. The Swift people wanted to
come into the combine upon the same
terms as Armour & Co. To this the
Armour people
Entered Objections
on the ground that Swift & Co. had a
larger floating indebtedness propor
tionately than the Armour people.
Whether the Armour people' finally
yielded, or whether the stock of Ar
mour & Co. will be taken into the com
bine upon a higher basis than $200 a
share the people in the merger refuse
to say.
The local packers in the combine
emphatically deny that J. P. Morgan
& Co. took a hand in the deal, or that
this 'firm was asked to do so. They
insist that the packers themselves are
at the head and behind the great deal,
with the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. en
gineering it.
The combine will have its effect
upon the entire country in every city
and town where any of the packers
who are joining in the combine have
branches. It was conceded that one of
the features of the plan is that,
wherever there are agencies of several
packers in a city or town they will be
abolished, and only one general agency
of the combine will be established. By
this consolidation the packers declare
they will be able to sell their goods
cheaper.
Among the firms in the combine
who have agreed upon the plan which
is to be put into operation Dec. 1, if
the money market is favorable, are:
Armour & Co., Swift ft Co., Nelson
Morris & Co., Schwarzchild & Sulz
berger and others.
MEXICO IS LOSER.
Pious Fund Case Is Decided in Favoi
of the United 8tates.
-The Hague, Qct 16—The arbitration
court in the Pious fund case has con
demned Mexico to pay the United
States $1,820,000 in Mexican currency.
The decision of the court was unan
imous. The tribunal finds:
First—That the claim of the United
States in behalf of the archbishop of San
Francisco is governed by the principle of
res judicata, in virtue of the arbitra
tion decision pronounced by Sir Edward
Thornton Nov. 11, 1875, and amended by
Sir Edward Thornton Oct. 24, 1876.
Second—That, in conformity with this
decision, the government of the United.
States of Mexico should pay the govern
ment of the United States $1,420,682.67 in
money of the legal currency of Mexico,
with the period fixed by article ten of the
protocol of Washington. This^ sum will
cover the total payment of an
nuities due from, and unpiaid by,
the government.of the Mexican republic,',
namely, the annual payment ot $43,050.09
In Mexican currency from Feb. 2, I860, to
Feb. 2. 1903.
Third—The government of the Vnlted
States of Mexico will pay to the govern
ment of the United States Feb. 2, 1903,
and every following year on the same*
date, for ever an annual payment of
(43,050.00 of money of the legal currency
.of Mexico.
The decision of the tribunal was read
by Secretary General Ruiyssenaers in
the presence of the members of the
diplomatic corps? their wives and the
representatives of the.lltlgants.
The Pious case grew out of the con
fiscation of certain church property by
the Mexican government before the
war between the United 'States and
Mexico. The property .confiscated was
within the territory $ded,tp the Unit
ed States after that war. The church*
authorities maintained that their
claim for compensation was in no tiray

Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 18. A ma
jority of the local miners' unions yes
terday elected delegates to the con
vention which will be held here next
Monday to consider the arbitration
plan submitted by President Roose
velt. Results show that the plan will
be approved by a large majority.
There is soine opposition to accept
ance, but it is certain that a majority
of the delegates will come to the con
vention instructed to vote in favor of
accepting the arbitration scheme. The
prominent officials of the union say
there is no fear that the opposition
will be strong enough to defeat the
efforts of those who favor epding the
strike by arbitrating their differences
with the operators.
President Mitchell does not care to
anticipate the action of the conven
tion, but from his manner it is taken
that he has not the slightest doubt as
to the result. He will go into the con
vention and make a strong speech for
tbe acceptance of the arbitration
scheme. The indications are the con
vention will last two days and that
there will be much
Debate on Various Features
of the arbitration plan. The conditions
at some collieries are different from
those existing at other places. The
principal question to be discussed be
fore the plan is accepted by the min
ers will be that of taking care of all
the men. The conditions of the mines
are such that all workmen cannot be
given work immediately, and soihe
will have to wait for three weeks be
fore the companies can take care of
them. The operators will not dismiss
the non-union men in order to give
employment to a returning striker. It
is understood that the union will take
care of all such men who fail to find
immediate employment. This will be
done by drawing funds from the relief
fund, which is said to be still growing.
It is estimated that 25 per cent of
the collieries will be in operation on
the first day after the suspension is
over. The railroads are making every
effort to have enough cars on hand to
carry the freshly mined coal to mar
ket and are sending thousands £sars
intp the regions and placing them on
sidings at the collieries.
MITCHELL'S LETTER.
He Scores Operators and Praises Se
lection of Commission.
Washington, Oct. 18. President
Mitchell's letter accepting President
Roosevelt's appointment of arbitrators
for a settlement of the coal Btrlke wais
made public at the White House yes
terday morning.
It is an exhaustive review of the
situation from the miners' standpoint.
He states that he'was opposed to the
operators' position because of the re
strictions placed upon the president,
but now that the restrictions had been
removed he was willing to accept the
arbitrament of the commission.
Mr. Mitchell comments bitterly on
the conduct of the operators: at the
first conference at the White House,
characterizing their attitude as in
sulting and unmanly. In closing, he
says:
"By the eminent tribunal which you
have named we have confidence that
justice will be done our people. We
are glad to have a chance to appear
before such a court empowered to con
sider and dispose of all questions at
issue. First among thoBe is the de
mand of the mineworkers for in
creased wages and a reduction in the
hours of labor second is the relations
which ought to' exist between the em
ployers and an organization which the
men have formed and which they au
thorize to speak for them. From this
arbitration we hope and believe will
come a complete, satisfactory and per
manent solution of the troubles which
have vexed the anthracite field from
time immemorial." ..
