ROOSEVELT CALLS COMMISSION TO MEET
Arbitrators Mill Gather la Wuhlng.
tonnnd Later Take Evidence In,
Wllkesbarre and Probably
Othr Cities.
WILKESBARRE, Pa.. Oct. SI. By a
unanimous viva voce vote the convention
of t'nlted Mine Workers accepted President
Roosevelt's arbitration plan shortly before
Boon today.
Great cheers greeted the announcement
of the result. The resolution as adopted
carries with It a declaration that tho strike
is off and provides for an Immediate re
sumption of work In the coal mines
throughout the anthracite region.
Presllent Mitchell told the corventlon
that President Roosevelt had Informed him
that be would call a meeting of the arbt-
tratlon commission Immediately after the
convention's acceptance of his proposal and J
rave it as his opinion that the findings of
the arbitrators would be announced within
a month.
The end of the convention and of the
great strike which bad lasted five months
suddenly appeared close at band. Presi
dent Mitchell, after the convention had
given Itself over to heated debate for an
hour and a half, arose and calmly told the
delegates that it must be apparent to alt
of them that there was no doubt whatever
that the president's proposal would bo
adopted.
Break In the Cloads.
There had been a renewal of the serious
opposition of the steam men and heated
words had passed between delegates. Ex
planations of the president's proposal had
been iiiada in four foreign languages.
There seemed to be more opposition than
ever to settlement, ' when - suddenly
there was a break la the clouds when a
motion was put by a delegate down in
-front, near the presiding officer. In a
clear voice the strike leader called for a
vote on the all-Important question and in
stantly there was a roar of ayes.
The nest Instant messengers were flying
In all dlrectlona from the convention to
give the news to the world through the
newspapers.
After the strike had been declared off
there waa some routine business, including
the usual votes of thanks and then shortly
before 1 o'clock tee-convention adjourned
alns die. , t
The resolution to resume at ones means
that the pumpmen will go to work tomor-
row and that the mining of coal will be
started at 1 a. m. Thursdav
After it waa all over and President Roose-
velt had been notified, the following dlree- I
Hons to the strikers were Issued
You are hereby officially notified that It
waa unanimously neciaea loaay Dy me dele
gates attending the special convention that
all mine workers should report for work
Thursday morning. October 23. and that
the Issues which culminated In the strike
should be referred for adjustment to the
commission appointed by the president of
the United Stales.
We are authorised by the executive offi
cers or districts l, 7, and to csutlon all
those who resume work, to resume more
than usual rare In order that accidents to
life and limb may be averted. Owing to
the condition of ths mines after an idle
ness of five months there will be great
danger whet, work is resumed. We are
prompted to offer this advice by the tact
at the close of the strike two years bko
many more accidents and deaths occurred
than lake place when the mines are operat
ing regularly. john Mitchell,

Proceedings of Convention.
With ths prospect that President Roose
velt's proposal to arbitrate would bs
accepted by a good majority, the con
vention of United Mlns Workers re
sumed Its work today in tne Nesbitt
theater.
It was evident when the delegates
sembted today that they were In a most
hopeful mood.
Borne said that the arbitration commission
would be even of more benefit to future gen-
orations in the coal fields than the present.
and anyhow It would put before the public
the whole situation In detail as between the
miners apd operators in a fair and thorough
way.
In reading the local morning papers the
miners were confronted with the adver
tisements of merchants announcing that
the strike was settled.
The delegates were prompt In getting
down to work. As soon as President Mit
chell arrived In the hall at 10:05 a. m. he
called ths dalegatea to order. The commu
tes on resolutions was called on, but It was
not ready to report.
Debate Is Reaamed.
The debate on the reinstatement of all men
In their former positions was immediately
resumed. The question before the conven-
tlon was a motion to accept the recommen-
datlons of the officers to call off the strike
and submit alt questions at Issue to the
arbitration commission. A delegate from
ths Haileton region asked how ths In
dividual operators stood on ths arbitration
plan. He rallsd attention to the fact that
the arbitration offer made by the railroad
operators did not eontaln ths name ot John
Markle or the name of any other Individual
concern.
In reply Mr. Mitchell said that while no
Individual operators bad signed ths plan he
did not understand that they wars against
IL
A delegats from Wllkesbarre said ths su
perlntendent of ths Kingston Coal company
had promised to give work to all men who
applied. This brought out considerable ap
plause. An Impassioned speech by another dele
gate from the Wyoming valley followed.
He asked the men to atop talking about all
getting back to work. He hoped ths con
vention would take a vots by noon snd end
the strike. In all victorious wars men have
fallen and there would be some to fall In
this 090.
At 10:40 the commutes on resolutions ar
rived. Settlement la Heeemsaeaded.
The committee made its report Immedi
ately. It was as follows:

HILL IS AGAIN EXAMINED

NCREASED TRAFFIC MEANS LOWER DUES
As Bnslsiese Increases Chances He-
crease, bat Merged Roads Lead
Shippers to Hold Prodaee
Bark from Market.
ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 21. Today at the
merger Inquiry Solicitor General Richards
resumed the cross-examination of Presl-
ent Hill of the Northern Securities and
Great Western Railway companies.
"How does It come about that the Union
Pacific holds about $80,000,000 of tho North
ern Securities company stock? asked
counsel.
That is a matter that does not concern
us, but it does concern you," replied Mr.
Hill.
Pressing the same line of question, Mr.
Richards was told that Mr. Harrlman or
anyone else woo wished might buy North
ern Securities stock. He did not know that
shareholders willing to sell could not be
found. Any stock might be bought and
purchasers usually could find those willing
to sell. It others desired to buy Northern
Securities stock they could only do so by
offering a high enough price. "We have
tried," he said, "to make it as difficult as
we could fairly for such raids to prove suc
cessful.
"I can't decide who shall or might own
the stock," he added. "Some of the owners
who usually work together would be slow
to sell without consulting their associates.
Out of 1,100 or 1,200 Northern Securities
shareholders I know probably twenty-five
or thirty. The largest single holder of
Northern Securities stock, I understand. Is
Mr. Harrlman. The outstanding stock on
the Northern Securities company Is some
where near $360,000,000. Harrlman might
double his holding, but he would have to
pay a fair price for It. The real protection
Is the union of effort to develop the great
northwest business."
The next questions pertained to the mat
ter of Joint rates and was gone into In de
tail.
Mr. Hill insisted In answer to one of the
questions certain suggested rates could not
be considered and, so far as be knew, never
were considered because they were un
lawful.
Owns No Other Lines.
In answer to questions by W. A. Day, at
torney for the Interstate Commerce Com
mission,. Mr. Hill said the Great Northern
railway owned no additional lines of rail
way, but had more lines under lease. The
composition and extent of these various
lines waa gone into at some length, and also
the forms of lease by which the Great
Northern controls the lines of the St. Paul,
Minneapolis ft Manitoba and other lines.
Ths total mileage operated is between 5,600
and 6,000.
He spoks positively in saying tho Great
Northern had frequently reduced rates, and
he believed the Northern Pacific had also.
Ths reduotlon en -merchandise bad varied
In different sections - and .' on different
classes, but ranged from 10 to 15 per cent.
Asked as to' specific dates when certain
rates went Into effect and on what articles
reductions applied, he referred counsel to
the schedules, saying they could be better
depended on than his memory. He gave a
similar answer to numerous other specific
questions as to clssslfltntion of rates.
Mr. Hill said his coal rates had for several
years been lower than those of the Reading
or the Lackawanna railroads and Mr. Day
said he believed there had been some com
plaint to that effect in the east, whereupon
Mr. Hill suggested: "I wondered for a long
time that the gentlemen In charge of such
matters nave not taken some action in re
gard to it."
Speaking generally, he said rates were
always reduced as traffic Increased, a fact
which accounted for the new schedules
which followed the Burlington purchase.
He haj made no attempt to influence rates
on that road. 1
Mr. Day next went into the coal traffic
and drew out the statement that better
rates on coal were possible because of ths
control of the Burlington. He feared that
there might be a fuel famine In the north
west, not because of the anthracite strike,
but because ot the Inability to railroads to
transport sufficient coal from the Ohio and
West Virginia fields to supply all needs.
The acquisition of the Burlington had not
diverted traffic from other lines to the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern, but
bad actually created new traffic for them.
All railroads had recently Increased their
business, but no others had developed to ao
great an extent as his line.
The effect. If the Burlington had become
the property of the Union Pacific, would
have been so severe on the Great Northern
that be would have recommended a sate at
once. It would not have given hard compe
tlUon, but would have absolutely prevented
business being obtained In the middle west
It was necessary to reach that section and
the Burlington wss the best means ot reach
Ing It.
Asked to define the word "raid," used In
his testimony, Mr. Hill said It was the pur
chase of stock in the open market, but in
sisted that the purchase of the Burlington
by the Northern Pacific and Great Northern
wss not a "raid," but simply a sale by and
with the approval of the directors.
In answer to queatlons by Mr. Young, Mr.
Hill said he could not purchase the Bur
llngton or contract to do so, and that a
corporate act of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacfic was necessary.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22. By a fire which broke
out shortly before midnight In the glucose
sugar refinery It Is said twenty-nine men
lost their lives. The exact number of dead
has not been established yet, but It ta
known the men were In the building, work
ing on the seventh floor. The flames spread
so rapidly that a man on the third floor
had barely time to escape and it Is not
thought that the others could have avoided
death.
At midnight two bodies had been found,
but the fire was burning so fiercely that It
was impossible to make further search.
The plant of the refining company consisted
of three buildings.
The fire started In the drying house, being
caused by an explosion, and In a short time
alt the walla were down and the buildings,
within half an hour from the start, was
a mass of debris.
Many Leap far Life.
1 a. m. The men on the seventh floor
had no chance for their lives. Several of
them left tbe windows and crswled slong
ths sills In an effort to reach a place of
safety, but with the exception of two all
made up their minds that It was certain
death and went back. The two men, how
ever, climbing up on tbe window ledge,
sprang into the air.
One of them came straight down for the
greater part of the way, but Just as he was
within a short distance of ths pavement
his body swung round and he struck the
stone walk at full length. The other turned
over and over as he came whirling down.
Their bodies were horribly mangled and it
was impossible for any of the men who saw
them to identity them.
Four other men Jumped from the windows
on the fourth floor. They were terribly
Injured snd were taken to tne hospital.
Two of them are Joseph Butkos and Paul
Kauris.
1 Frank Rothenberg, a foreman working on
the fifth floor, met his death in making a
Jump for a net held by the firemen under
neath the window. - He wss compelled to
leap far out In order to clear some ob
structions on the side of the building and
missed tbe net by a yard.
Joseph Butkos, who escaped with his
life, but Is badly burned and bruised, had
better fortune in striking the net when he
leaped from another part of the fifth floor.
He hit It squarely, bnt being a heavy man
went through and struck the ground. He
was rushed to the County hospital, where
it was said he might recover.
Paul Kauris also broke through the net,
but wss not badly hurt.
The Ore was under control before 1, and
although It waa not possible at that time to
form any estimate of the loss of lite, 'the
police department declared that In their
opinion It would not bs more than ten or
twelve.
The officers ot the company say the dam
age may be anywhere between $500,000 and
$1,000,000.
2:30 a. m. The estimated dead run all
the way from ten to thirty.
The following is the list so far as yet
known:
The dead:
FRANK ROTHENBURQ. foreman, skull
crushed In leaping from fifth story.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN, six feet tall, akull

Indolence.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 21. The mission

church of America began its sessions today.
The meetlog was called to order this after
noon by Bishop Tuttle. Bishop Doane of
Albany presented his report as chairman of
the board of managers of the Domestic and

For Christian Unification.
The American Christian Missionary so
ciety elected the officers named at the top '
of this column yesterday afternoon at 4 '
o'clock, but that was not the most ant-
mated proceeding of the sixth dsy of the
International convention of Christian
churches. Tbe great body that assembled
at the Coliseum at night passed a resolution
which in effect Involved the whole churcit
and its attitude toward all other churches.
and tbe debate which preceded the action
was so spirited that ths reuniting stralna ot
"Blessed Be tbe Tie that Binds Our Hearts
In Christian Love" seemed most oppor
tune. Tbe resolution reads:
Resolved. That we. reoresentatlves of the
Disciples of Christ, in convention assem-
riea, naving rueara with measure the
presentation of the claims of the Federa
tion or Churches In the United States, as
urxed by the national secretary. Dr. K. H
Sanford, do hereby express our cordial ap
proval of the effort to bring .the churches
of this country into closer co-operation and
10 K've truer expression to the degree of
unity which already exists, aa the best
means of promoting that complete unity
for which our Lord Draved. ana we Dledae
our hearty co-operation with this and every
oiner movement tnui nas lor its ooject the
unification 01 Deuevere, to tne end tnat the
world may be converted and the kincdom
of righteousness established In ths earth.
Tbe resolution was sponsored by J. H.
Garrison, editor of the Christian Evangel
ist at St. Louis, and was questioned by J.
A. Lord, editor ot tbs Christian Standard
of Cincinnati. It was presented by Editor
Garrison immediately after an address by
Rev. E. B. Sanford, secretary ot the Na
tional Federation ot Churches and Chris
tians, whom Dr. Garrison had Invited to
come to this convention and present. In per
son, his request for an endorsement ot the
federation by the disciples. In this- ad
dress Rev. Sanford said:
. Sanford States Hla Object.
The movement this federation seeks to
aid and foster Is at Its heart a missionary
movement, spiritual and evangelistic In its
spirit and purpose. it desires to bring
believers of every name who recognise their
oneness In Christ Into such co-operative
relations, that along lines of practical serv
ice and control they will most effectively
advance the kingdom of Ood. This move
ment contemplates a vital linking together
of forces that hold to Christ aa the Head;
forces that Inscribe upon their bannera
these supreme convictions:
First. That the gospel fffords a remedy
for all evil; furnishing as It does redemp
tive power that can aave both the Indiviual
and the society.
Second. The church of which Christ Is
the Head, composed of those, who in loy
alty of purpose, truHt, love and serve Him,
is the great chief Instrumentality by and
through which this gospel Is to be brought
In saving power into the life of men and
the world.
Holding these convictions, federation la
the recoKiiltloii on tho part ef those who
enter Into It, of. the essential unity thiit
underlies denominational and all other dif
ferences. When Rev. Mr Sanford had completed
bis address and Editor Garrison had pre
sented his resolution the motion passing
the resolution was quickly put by Rev. I.
N. McCash, pastor ol University Place
church, Des Molnea, who was presiding, and
it prevslled. A moment later Editor Lord
address' d the chair in partial protest, say
ing: "Irft us be careful what we do. Feder
atlou may mean a recognition of denoinlna
tionalism, and we believe denomtnatloual-
ism is wrong. It such recognition is meant
I am opposed to the resolution."
Back to Slartlag Polat.
' Rev. Carey Morgan of Kentucky moved
that tbs resolution be referred to a com
mittee to be appointed by tho chair, Ths
chair ruled that It could not bs so referred,
having been already paased, and that only
a motion to reconsider would be In order.
Rev. Morgan then moved reconsideration,
snd tbe motion carried.
Then tbe debate became general, with
three or four reverend gentlemen sparring
for an opening, with bands in air and faces
flushed. A Chicago pastor said: "Let ua
not make geese of ourselves. We cannot
afford to. la Chicago we have formed al
ready a sort of federation and we are mak
ing tbe cheap theaters feel It."
Editor Lord again gained the floor to say
