BEEF TRUST SOW COMPLETE

J B. BLANCHARD TALKS OF THE COMBINE
Think Swift Will Be President aad
- Ctidahy Vlee Prealdent and (
eral Mannarer Effect of
' ""' Giant Concern.
J. B. Blanchard, 1111 Georgia avenue, re
turned to bis home yesterday from Pitts
burg, where he attended the annual session
of the National Live Stock exchange, which
is an organisation made up of delegates
from the members of all the exchanges in
the west.
The beef trust was naturally the leading
question up for discussion and the chief
papers of the session were read on this
subject by J. B. Blanchard of Omaha and
Samuel Allerton, a multi-millionaire of Chi
cago. "The people In the west do not pay aa
much attention to this question as one
would naturally think they would," said
Mr, Blanchard last evening, "the theory
seems to be that It Is time enough to cross
the bridge when you get to it.
"When this beef trust Is .consummated It
will be second in size to but one other in
the country. The men In charge will have
an enormous power over the producer and
consumer, of the, beef, ; Whether they will
use this power for good or for evil remalna
to bo seen. If tbey wish to they will be
able to buy cattle higher and sell the fin
ished "product lower than ever before.
'There is no doubt but that the organlza-
,tloa;t the beef trust. Is Just aa complete
'as It ever will be. The combination was
to have been consummated September 29
' and put into operation, but the time waa a
bit 'out of lnt' for such a proceeding and
It was postponed. Just then President
Roosevelt waa turning over the trusts and
the money market waa inopportune for
floating bonds, but, there Is no -doubt that
the announcement I will be 'made as soon
attcr election' as tbs money market gets
in a 'satisfactory condition. 1 believe it Is
generally- understood that Swift will be
president and E. A. Cudaby vice president
and general manager.
- Only a, Rlde-Llght.
"The organization which was capitalized
recently In New Jersey at $1,000,000 I don't
think has any connection with the beef
trust proper. It probably is a movement
that Rockefeller has made to counteract the
other movement. The real beef combination
will require $81,000,000 just to buy up the
various properties. Then $100,000,000 must
be added to run the business.
"I believe the live stock men can call
together enough money to build and run an
opposition packing house system if such
a thing should become advisable. I under

In a gama characterised by absolutely

tilavlnc of Ocheltree on the defense. Himp-
son would not have been kept twenty yards
away from the Haw key e goal in tne last
fifteen minutes of the game. Two punts
fumbled to Simpson, twenty-five yards

lis twenty-yard line and Mack, by a
brilliant thirty-five-yard end run, took the
ball out of danger, ana tne iowa rooters
yelled for Joy.
Iowa began the game by three fumbles,
one beirg made on Simpson's twenty-yard
line. After one fruitless attempt, Ocheltree
kicked a field goal, then Slberts by end
runs and Ocheltree by line bunks brought
the ball within striking distance of Simp

Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United
States of America:
WILKESBARRE. Fa.. Oct. H.-Hon.
Theodore Koosevelt. Washington. D. C:
Dear Sir We, the representatives of the
employes of the various coal companies en
gaged In operating mines In tho anthracite
coal neids or Pennsylvania, in convention
assembled, having under consideration your
telegram of October 15, 1!2, addressed to
John Mitchell, president of the I'nlted Mine
workers of America, wnicn reads as fol
lows: I have appointed as commissioners Brig
adier (Jeneral John H. Wilson. K. W. Par
ker, Judge George Oray. E. E. Clark,
Thomas li. Watklns. TtlRhnp J. T,. Spalding,
with Carroll D. Wright as recorder.
These names are accented bv the
operators and I now earnestly ask and urge
that the miners likewise accept this com
mission. It is a matter of vital concern to
ill our people, especially to those In our
great cities, who are least well off, that the
mining of coal should be resumed without a
moment's unnecessary delay."
We have decided to accept the proposition
therein embodied and submit all questions
at Imsuo between the operators and mine
workers of the anthracite coal region for
adjustment to the commission which you
have named.
In pursuance of that decision we shall te
port for work on Thursday morning, Octo
ber 23, In the positions and working places
occupied by us prior to the Inauguration of
the strike.
We have authorized John Mitchell, presi
dent of the I'nlted Mine Workers of Amer
ica, with such assistance aa he may select,
to represent us in all hearings before the
commission.
(Signed.) . JOHN MITCHELL,,
Chairman of Convention.
W. B. WILSON,
Secretary of Convention.
The debate on reinstatement waa Im
mediately resumed. One delegate strenu
ously objected to the adoption of the resolu
tions because no provision ia made In them
for the men who may fall to get work. The
other side of the question was taken up by
a delegate from the ranther Creek valley.
He said:
"Let us go back; ws will all get work in
the end."
There were cries for the previous ques
tion, but President Mitchell stopped this
by announcing that every man would be
given a chance to apeak and that he
would not entertain a motion to vote so
long as there was one delegate In the
hall who wanted to be heard.
Wilson Ridicules Opposition.
W. B. Wilson, national secretary of the
convention, voiced the sentiment of Presi
dent Mitchell and the national organisation
In a strong speech. He said in part:
It seems to me a rather peculiar position
for any of the delegates In this convention
to take that after they have gone through
a struggle of five months and nave secured
the terms which they laid down when the
strike began.
wnra tne employers rerusea to accept
this proposition the miners said: "We will
submit the entire question to arbitration
and abide by the decision of the arbitra
tors." During the time the struggle was on the
employers said: "We will not concede any
thing, we will not arbitrate, and the miners
cannot return to work until there is an un
conditional surrender,"
Within the last two weeks the operators
have entirely changed their position upon
that nolnt and they now say they are will
ing to submit this matter to arbitration.
INow. tnen, the question raiBed is in an
ticipation of the dismissal of some of the
men. You have not returned to work, you
do not know yet whether or' not you are
going to be dismissed from the positions
you occupied before the strike, but you are
ntlcipatlng: you nave already secured a
proposition by which the question of dis
missal ot those men, If they are dismissed.
will be submitted to arbitration, and the
operators have agreed to abide oy the de
cision of the arbitrators. We can lust aa
well afford to meet them on that ground
now as we could have afforded to meet
them on that ground five months ago; in
fact, we ran afford to meet them on that
ground now a great deal better than we
could then. In view of the fact that even
If some of the men are left out, and in
view of the additional assurance given by
Mr. Mitchell yesterday, that it any men
were let out the United Mine Workers
would take care of them, I believe it would
be folly to risk the chance you now have.
or risk the chance of ultimate defeat rather
than to accept the complete victory that is
now before you.
some or you cay we snouia not accept
this proposition now. Would it not be well
to ask: "If yoj do not accept thla proposi
tion, what will you substitute for it?
What will you put in It place? What has
made your struggle the complete success it
has been up to the present time?' it is
the fact that it has been so handled as to
command the admiration, the respect and
the rontiuence or tne entire American peo
ple. If, then, you turn down a proposition
made in good faith by the president of the
I'nlted States, looking to the termination
of the difficulties now existing, can you
expect to retain that confidence that admi
ration and respect?
You should accept It because it la the
proposition that you yourselves made wher,
tne struggle Degan. xou nave won tnut
which you were contending for. No the
proper course to pursue is to accept your
own proposition, made when the strike
began.
The delegates In brief speeches took
up both sides of the question with great
earnestness. Those opposed to the propo
sition wanted specific assurance that they
would be taken care of.
During the debate three speeches were
made In foreign languages Slavonic, Pol
ish and Llthuntan. The three foreign
sneaklnc deleeates favored the acceptance
' the Proposition. A Slav delegate wanted
to kriow what wages the men would receive
It they go to work Thursday, which created
a luugh. He was Informed that the ques
tion would be placed in the hands ot the
commttelon.
The Italian delegates also wanted the
proposition explained to them, which was
done by an Italian speaker. When hs had
concluded bis explanation a motion was
Immediately made to close debate. Before
the motion was put, Mr. Mitchell, In an
swer to a query, announced that he had a
telegram from the president of the United
States that he would call a meeting of the
commission as soon aa the convention took
favorable action. This waa received with
Cheers. President Mitchell gave It ss his
opinion that the commission would make its
report within one month.'
Mitchell's (losln
K rira.
Tbs motion to close debate was adopted
and before calling for a vote on the adop
tion of the report which would end the
strike. President Mitchell, amid deep sil
ence, spoke ss follows:
Now, gentlemen, the chair is going to ask
to be permitted to speak without being in
order. It i quite apparent to everyone
here what the action of the convention is
going to be. I do not think anyone has
any doubt now as to the way this conven
tion will vote. If It were otherwise It might
not be quite in place for me to speak Just
brfore you vote, but 1 want to remind you
of this: When the arbitration proposition
accepted labor all over the land
breathed a sigh of relief. That this strike
has given labor new dignity no one can

The engineers made another plea that
something be done in the wsy of taking
care of tbs men who fall to find work. It
was decided that this question be left in
the hands of the executive boards of the
three districts.
Envelopes addressed to President Mitchell
at Wllkesbarre were distributed among the
delegatea with instructions that all pay en
velopes, due bills, statements of wages and
anything that may help the miners In their
case before the arbitration commission be
sent to him.
Rev. J. J. Currsn of Wllkesbarre made a
tew remarks to the miners and congratu
lated them on the outcome ot the strike,
There being no further business before the
convention a delegate arose and suggested
that before adjourning the delegates should
sing "My Country 'Tls of Thee," Just to
show that they were law abldlne citizens
This waa done and the mine workers' con
vention came to an end with three cheers
for John Mitchell.
Commission la Summoned.
' WASHINGTON, Oct. II. Shortly before
t President Roosevelt received a telegram
from Wllkesbarre, Pa., informing him that
the convention had declared off the an
thracite coal strike. The telegram was
signed by John Mitchell, - chairman, and
W. B. Wilson, secretary, and wan identical
with that made public at Wllkeabarre be
fore noon today.' ri '
immediately upon receipt ot the informa
tlon the following telegram was sent to
Mr. Mitchell:
WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON. D. C,
Oct. 81. 190'i Mr. John Mitchell, Chalrsnan
rt Convention. Wikesbarre. Pa.: Cpon re
celpt of your telegram of this date the
president summoned the commission to
meet here on Friday next, the 24th Inst
at 10 a. m. GEORGE B. CORTELYOU,
, Secretary.
News of the termination ot the strike
wss received by the president with great
satisfaction.
Telegrams have already been sent to the
members of the commission, notifying them
of the first meeting to be held In this city
on Friday morning and summoning them
to be present The meeting will probably
be held in the office ot Commissioner
Wright, in the Department of Labor.
After the commission has effected Its
organization the members will call in a
body on the president to pay their re
spects. At that time It Is expected he
will embrace the opportunity .to give the
commission such verbal Instructions as he
may care to present to It, although be
may also prepare a letter of Instructions
as was dons at the time of the appoint
ment of the Pullman strike commission, of
which Colonel Wright was president.
It is understood thst few meetings of the
commission will be held' In Wai'alngton.
After the work ot the commission has been
mapped out the first atep will be to take
the testimony of the miners, who may be
regarded as plaintiffs In the esse. Notifi
cation will be sent to all interested parties
that at certain specified times the commis
sion will bear evidence. The parties to the
Inquiry will be permitted to be present st
the hearings either personally or by coun
sel. It is probable that the first sessions of
the commission at which testimony will be
taken will be held In Wllkesbarre, as that
rlty will be the most convenient for thtt
miners' representatives. Other - meetings
will be held in Philadelphia or New York,
or In both cities.
Whether the sessions of the commission
will be open to the public is a question tha
commission Itself will bsve to determine,
but it Is regarded aa quite likely that at
all sessions when testimony is tsken repre
sentatives of the press will be admitted.
How long the hearings will continue
nobody can foretell. At their conclusion
each memoes of the commission will be
supplied with a copy of the testimony ad
duced and will consider It at his leisure.
Subsequently the commission will recon
vene, perhaps in this city, to formulate Its
report for presentation to the president.
Operators Are Pleased.
NEW YORK, Oct. 21. The news that the
coal strike had been officially declared at
an end was received with delight in this
city.
President Baer of the Reading, when, In
formed of the news, said: "Well, I sm very
glad to hear that. I had heard of the reso
lution, but bad not heard that It had been
adopted."
NEW YORK. Oct. 21. Anthracite coal
carrying railroads, through orders Just Is
sued by the genersl managers, have called
bsck Into service sll trainmen, station
agents snd clerks laid off In consequence of
the suspension of coal transportation during
the strike. The Philadelphia Reading
and tha Jersey Central roads will reinstate
between 4,500 and 5,000 trainmen this week
snd the other eoal carrying roads probably
10,000 more.
Owing to the fart that so many cases ot
alleged Illegal special taxation have been
brought up lately Mayor Koutsky a short
time ago cslled the attention of City At
torney Murdork to the matter and the re
sult was an entire reassessment. Tqls was
brought about by the drafting of entirely
new ordinances and the sitting ot the coun
cil as a board of equalization. The board
sat, after the proper notice on nine-year-old
improvement ordinances, which have
never been contested In court and on one
new one recently created, making ten In
all. The districts Involved are: Grading,
Nos. 38. .IP, 40, 42. 49. 52; sewer districts
Nos. 108. 109 snd 110.
By the sitting of the council ss a board
of equalization it is asserted that the for
