GOAL MINERS 8??KD FIRM. " ?i? _ __ Reject President Roosevelt's Prop osition and Reaffirm Confidence in Pr?sident Mitchell. Strike Cannot End Unless Owners Make Concessions. Wiikesbarre, Pa., Oct. 8.?Unless President Mitchell's hnrried visit to New York bears fruit, theNend of the mine workers' strike seems a long way o?r and the prospect of sufficient coal . being mined to satisfy the public de mand is extremely poor. Every local union of the miners' organization throughout the hard coal belt held special meetings, either last night or ' today and resolved to remain on strike until the mine owners grant them some concession. And while the reports of these meet ings came pouring into Wilkesbarre, President Mitchell dictated a letter to the president of the United States in which he gave his answer to the proposition thai the strikers return to work and trust to have their condi tion improved through an investigat ing commission. Wnat the answer of the miner's chief is he refused to div ulge, but it is di fficult to conceive .that with the replies of the local unions piled around him, he could do other wise than respectfully decline the presi dent's proposition? Mr. Mitchell sent his letter to Washington before The had heard from all the locals and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, accompanied by the three district presidents, left for New York. ?*It was a busy day for the miners' officials about headquarters. From early morning until late tonight the returns came in constantly. This evening the corps of newspaper cor respondents stationed here were invited to examine the reports and not one was found that was not conched in firm language. Briefly stated, the re solutions in these reports affirm the confidence of the men in the integrity and judgment of their president, praise President ..Roosevelt ior his efforts to end the strike, denounce the presidents of the coal carrying, roads for their al leged abuse of the chief executive at the conference .in Washington, de nounce the employment of the coal and iron police, thank all organizations and citizens throughout the country for the financial assistance given, and de nounce <3ov. Stone for sending troops here. Nearly all the r?solutions contained a sentence to the effect that the 'men will remain out "thoughall the troops ?he United States were sent here, " until they are granted some conces - sions. Additional troops for this region have not yet arrived, and the general strike situation remains unchanged. (There is no increase in. the shipment ! o? coal, very little of which is being produced. No violence was reported to day. MITCHELL MAY DEGjJE IL Is Not Talking, But is Tfroght to be Unfavorably Disposed. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 7.?The confer- 1 enee between the committee appointed by the National Manufacturers Associ ation and President Mitchell and his lieutenants, held at the Iroquois hotel ' this afternoon, did not result in any i definite plan being agreed upon for the partial resumption of work in the; anthracite coal fields, but the members of the manufacturers committee'stated that they were greatly pleased with the 'progress made. The fact that communication was established wth ; the operators by long distance tele-. phone and an appointment made to , meet a committee representing them in Philadelphia tomorrow is loooked up- 1 on as significant. Mr. Mitchell this afternoon positive- ' ly declined to discuss the request made , "by President itooseve?t that Mitchell use bis influence to induce the miners- ] to resume work with e promise of the. 2 intment of a commission to in 1 . vestigate. the raisers'- grievances. It 1 Was; learned from a reliable source, ' ftowerer- toot Mr. Mitchell does not regard the proposition iavorably and ? that he m? decline to ask the miners to resume wo rounder the conditions stipulated. - When the conference adjourned the 1 following officiai statement was given { 3?t.?; 7 The committee of the National As sociation of Manufacturers has j istened to the difficulty as offered by a special : c?mmittee ci the United Mine Work ers et the head of which was Mr. John Mitchell. The Notional Association of Manufacturers' committee has ?fe;srned what it could of the conditions ano now gees to Philadelphia for the purpose of a meeting with a committee of mine operators with the idea of get ting tjbeir side of the difficulty. The National Association of Manufactures' committee carries no proposition ?rom the mine workers and has no other mission than the' desire to speedily bring about a settlement of this dis pute." Corpses and Ice Cream. -i Louisville, Ky., October S.'?Thirty dead bodies were found tonight in a cold storage plant in#the rear of a nice cream factory, on 8th street. The same pipes which were used in congeal ing the ice cream for table use v.-ere connected with a small plarit in a shed in the rear, where they kept the bodies cool. The heads o? the several colleges interested in the establish ment asserted tonight that the bodies were obtained legitimately ?rom the peni tentarles, insane asylums and other institutions of the State of Kentucky. The building is a small one and is provided with numerous therm imters for maintaining the pro sier t^rn;?erature. The bodies were r.ound io boxes and most of them were in a good state of preservation. The establishment is maintained by several Louisville medical colleges. The heads o: these institutions say they are given tie bodies by the State with the un derstanding that they are to be held thirty days for identification. In order to assist in the identification the cold storage plant was established and an a-rangement made with the ice cream plant to furnish the cooling air. Detective stories of all kinds at H. G.

WEITZELL & ZORELLA PRESIDENT MAKES A NEW PROPOSITION. Offers to Appoint a Commissioni to Investigate if Miners Will ! First Go to Work. Washington, Oct. 7.?The following statement was mad pnblic at the vv"hite Honse this afternoon "Monday, Oct. G, Jlon. Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor, went so Philadelphia and gave to Mr. John j Mitchell, the following from the presi - lent: " 'If Mr. Mitchell will secure their j immediate- return to work of the i miners in the anthracite regions the j president will at once appoint a com-i mission to investigate thoroughly in- J io^the matters at issue between the; Dperators and miners, and will do all j svithin his. power to obtain a settle- j ment of those questions in accordance ! with the report of the commission.' I ;'Mr. Mitchell has taken this mat- j ter under consideration but the presi dent has not yet been advised of any decision." The president was in consultation to?ay for almost two hours with mem- ' bers of the cabinet relative to the coal strike situation. He also talked over the situation with Dr. Albert Shaw and Dr. Lyman Abbott. About 11.30 o'clock, Trank P. Sargent, commis sioner general of immigration and for many years chief of the Brother of Locomotive Fireman, arrived at the White House from his trip to Phila delphia where he went as an emissary of the president to convey to President Mitchell of the United .Mine Workers a proposition ofPresidentRooseveit that the miners resume work. Mr. Sargent had not succeeded in seeing Mr. Mit chell. The president, however, had heard from Commissioner of Labor Wright, who saw Mr. Mitchell on the same errand last night in Philadelphia and the latter's report was that Mr. Mitchell desired time to consider the proposition and lay it before his as sociates. After a conference of an hour between th president, Attorney General Knox, Postmaster General Payne, Mr. Sargent and James S. Clarkson, |it was decided to give out the above statement.

His Repiy to President Rooseveit Shows That Miners Are Willing x to Make Any Fair Statement. Mine Owners Refuse Arbitration and Prevent End of Strike. Washington, Oct. 9.?President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers has refused to comply with the appeal of President Roosevelt to call the strike off. His letter to' the president, which was made public at the White House to day, says the responsibility for the con tinuation of the strike should be plac ed upon those who have refused arbi tration. President Mitchell's letter follows : Wilkesbarre. Pa., Oct. 3, 1902.. Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: lion. Carroll D. Wright I has no doubt reported to >cu the de livery of your message to me last Mon I'day and my statement to him that I j should take your suggestion under hadviseraen , although I did not look upon it with favor. Since that time 1 have consulted with our district presidents, who con cur fully in my views. We desire to assr.re*you again that we feel keenly the responsibility of Lour position .and the gravity of the i situation, and it would give us great ! pleasure to take action which wOuhi j bring this coal strike to an end. in a i manner that would safeguard the in ! terests of our constituents, j In proposing that there be an -im mediate resumption of coal mining ? upon conditions we suggested in the? conference at the White House wo bc I lieve that we had gone more than half i way and had met your wishes, j It is unnecessary in this -letter to ? refer to the hilaicious assault made j upon us in the response of the coal operators. We feel confident that you I must-have been impressed with the ? fairness of our proposition and the in I sincerity of these who maligned us. Having in mind our experience with the coal operators in the past we have no reason to feel any degree of confid ? eneo in their willingness to do us justice in the future and as much as they have refused to accept the de cision of a tribunal selected by you, and inasmuch as there is no law through which you could enforce the findings of "the commission you sug j gest, we respectfully decline to advise j our people to return to work simply upon the hope that the coal operators might be induced or forced to comply with the recommendations of your commission. As stated above, we believe that we went more than half way in our pro posal at Washington and we do not feel that we should be asked to make further sacrifice. We appreciate your solicitude for the people of our country who are now and will be subjected to great suffering and inconvenience by a prolongation of the coal strike, and we feel that the onus of this terrible state of affairs should be placed upon the side which has re fused to defer to fair and impartial in -vestigation, I am, Respcetfully, John Mitchell, President U. M. W. of A. No comment was made concerning the letter of Mr. MitcheiPby officials at the. White House today, although it can be said that the president has "not exhusted all efforts in bringing about'an end to the strike. Nothing can. be learned as to the future in tentions of the president in this mat ter, and it is stated that the* time has not yet come to - disclose the- purpose of the administration. Danger Not Past. (From the Philadelphia Ledger. ) Harry A. Mackey, defending lawyers as a profession against s?me raillery the. other day, said that their profes sional conscience, like that of doctors and clergymen, saved a lot of misery in this world. To illustrate his argument he told of a lawyer who was so conscientious that he would not undertake the defence of a man he believed guilty. He once was interest ed in the tale of a chap who had been accused by his employer of stealing a pair of trousers and thinking the fel low -had been wronged by the arrest and charge, stood up for him in Court, made a rinsing defence and won the jury's verdict. The Judge then toid the prisoner he was free and could go home: but the fellow sat still, keeping his eyes the while on the plaintiff. After a time the lawyer said, kindly. ''My dear man, you have lost enough time from your work. Now that you are cleared of the charge, why do yon not hurry home?" 'Well, was the reply.
