( HEART-TO-HEART TALK HIS PLAN Invltco Mine Operators and John Mitchell to Meet With Him nt White Hou e on Friday President Will Act as Arbitrator. WanlilnBton , Oct. 2. 1'rcitlilent RooHovolt will in all e an effort to bring the anthracite coal mine owners nnd tholr Btrllijni ; employes togotlior In tlio Interest of the public good. Thin con. elusion WAB reached after n. Rorlcs of conforonccn with his cabinet advisors , covering Tuesday nnd Wednesday. The decision WBB arrived at when the Inwyuru of the cabinet Informed the president that there wn no way under the constitution and the form of ROV- eminent of the United States for fed eral Intervention to end the Htrllco. Every phase was canvassed and the determination to have the mine opor- ntors and President Mitchell got to- pel her WHH reached when It wns found that no other methods were open. The president sent the following In- TltalIon to the coal operators and John Mitchell : "I should llko to nee you on Friday next , Oct. 3 , at 11 a. m. , hero In Washington , In regard to the failure of the coal supply , which linn become a matter of vital concern to the \vholo nation. " No Power but That of Persuasion. At the meeting Friday the line of approach toward the settlement of the Btrlko will be an appeal by President ItooBovult to both sides to como to gether as men and not to allow false pride or fooling of obstinacy to stand In the way of the termination of the great strike , which Is fraught with threat of1 misery to thousands of pee ple. It Is stated by ono of the pro l- dent's advisers that beyond this the president cannot go. Ho has no power of compulsion that can bo brought Into play against * either side and ho must rely on his persuasive appeals to their sense of humanity If anything tnnglblo Is to bo accomplished. The president Intends to lay before his hearers the situation as It appears to him with all the prospective horrors rors that will follow a fuel famine , nnd will \irgo them In the Interests of humanity to open the mines and sup ply the demand for coal. The prcsl dent has taken this action because ho feels It to he his duty to do so , as the executive head of n. nation threatened with peril. The president has In a ticnso taken upon himself the burdens of an arbitrator In this great dispute between capital nnd labor , and though the arbitration is not compulsory , It is the hope of the president and his advisers that It will bo effoctlvo. Just how no ono can say , though them Is the suggestion of a temporary arrange ment which will tldo over the cold Tvonthor. The conclusion was reached that the president could do more by bringing the Interested parties togoth cr than In any other way. There will be no one present at Friday's meeting at the white house but the principals. The absence of the cabinet will give ( the president an opportunity to do Just what ho wants , namely to have a good heart-to-heart talk with the operators and Mr. Mitchell , to Induce thorn to talk with each other freely nnd to reason quietly and soberly and finally to agree , If possible , to make concessions on each aide which wll terminate the strike. If this latter re- Bult cannot bo attained , It Is hoped the foundations may bo laid for an agreement In the near future. President Gets .Responses. President Iloosovolt's proposition for a gathering here Friday morning of representatives of the coa.1 companies and the miners met a prompt response from a number of the gentlemen to vrhom Invitations were sent. During the evening the president received re plies to his Invitations from President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers. President George P. Daer of the Reading railway system , and ono or two others. Mr. Baer's prompt re ply to the president's suggestion was particularly gratifying to Mr. Rooso- Telt , as It was believed that In all prob ability his acceptance will Insure favorable vorablo replies from other officials who wore invited. Mr. Baor has acted as the spokesman for the operators in the various statements that have been put forth from time to time in reply to the miners' representations , and 1 Is realized that his Influence will ho a potent factor In any conferences that may take place. The preslden is expressing the keenest Interest in the coming gathering and expresses the sincere hope that It will result in steps that will bring about the ccssa tlon of the strike.

Attorney General Knox Finds No Constitutional Provision for Fed eral Interftronce- Detroit Call Begins - gins to Bear Fruit. Washington , Oct. 1. The president yesterday took Initiative steps to as certain what , if anything , could bo done by federal authority to settle the coal strike. The result was a rather general axpreaslon of opinion by the advisors of the president , who were parties to. the conference , to the effect that the federal laws and con- etltutlon did not offer means of fed- cral Interference to end the strike , t but another conference will bo held today and the president will do all ! ho properly and legally can to bring about a settlement of tno strike. At the temporary white house a conference was hold with thrco cabinet officers , Attorney General Knox , Secretary Moody and Postmas ter General Payne. Governor Crane of Massachusetts also was present. President Roosevelt Is deeply concerned - corned over the situation. The approach preach of wlntor , with a coal famine imminent , and the distress nnd suffer ing that must ensue unless coal be comes available , presents a situation which , he thinks , should receive the attention of the administration , if there Is anything that can be done by the government. Many appeals havw been made to him and many sugges tions have been received by him , and It was with a view to ascertaining what newer the federal authority could be ovohe that caused the confer ence to ba hold. Federal Interference Not Possible. During the conference every phase of the situation wns discussed. The general opinion of the advisors of the president was that the situation did not present a case in which there could be federal interference by any warrant of law. There has been no Interference with federal authority in the raining region , either by stoppage of the mails or resistance of the Unit- cd States court process. It was point ed out that there was no occasion for the use of federal troops , as Governor Btone of Pennsylvania had not called on the government for assistance , nor had he even exhausted the resources of the state by calling out the full otrength of the state militia. The question of the right to Boole appointment of receivers for the mines in order that they might bo i operated was discussed , but neither In the constitution or in any known law could any legal warrant be found for such action. The tenor of the whole discussion wns to the effect that there was a lack of power in the fed eral administration to take action at the present time , though the serious- neso of the coal famine now and the much greater evils to follow were conj - j Bidered at length and with a wish to ' discover some method of ending the 1 industrial deadlock. During the day advices were received that the strike might bo settled by the operators and i miners themselves , and it was stig- 1 gested that hasty interference of any | Idnd by the federal government might i prevent the consummation of the I plans for a strike settlement If any j cuch were maturing. Realizing the ' futility of efforts to end the strike , that could accomplish nothing , it was stated that the president was anxious that the end of the strike should bo brought about at the earliest possible moment , and If the attorney general or other members of the cabinet could devise a method by which the presi dent could proceed , he would not hesi tate to adopt It , unless meanwhile as surances of a settlement were forth coming. The conference will DO re- Burned today , at which time Secretary I1 Rant will lin nr * iflnt. President Continues to Improve. Washington , Oct , 2.

Then why not buy a pasture and save this , besides getting an investment that will probably double in value in the next few years. I have three different pastures of a section each in central and western Pierce County at $10 per acre and less , two of them with good houses , small improvements ; the other with a new four wire fence , windmill , supply tank and so forth , with splendid pasturage. Can buy on your own time at G per cent interest. A. J. DURLAND. P. S. You will remember that the chances are good pastures like these at $10.00 per acre are very few cast of Holt County , and growing less every month. I also have rough land at $10.00 an acre in Knox County that is all good clay soil. g-n Why Don't You ? Why don't you get in the habit of trad ing by mail ?
