Mitchell of the United mine workers Union dictated the following state ment to the press to night "1 fully appreciate with what anxiety the people of our country Are awaiting the end of the Coal strike. The Coal operators have not addressed the miners Union or its officers in making their statement. It is there fore impossible for me to state the attitude of the miners at this time. I am now As i have always been deeply solicitous of the interests of the Public and the welfare of the mine workers who have been on strike for the past five months. A formal statement de fining our position and intentions will he issued just As soon As we Are in Possession of the full meaning of the proposition of the miners objections. President Roosevelt should be Given a free hand in the selection. Oct. The rank and file those who Are opposed to accepting the new offer look upon the operators latest move As a coun Ter proposition to or. Mitchell s of Fer to arbitration made in the temporary White House at Washington. Ten in greatest objection is that the operators dictate to the president what class of men he shall select As the arbitrators and they charge the operators with Lack of Faith in the presi Clent when they do not give him a free hand to pick the men he wants. Another objection to it is that the president is limited to four men in selecting the Jurist of the commission. A great Many think the proposition should be accepted and that the min ers should Trust to president Roose tit to do the Best he can under the conditions Laid Down by the Road presidents.

Father Point was evident hat the aldermen took a grave View of the situation. The letter As read by the mayor stated that Only 10 per cent of the had Coal required for this Market has been obtained owing to the strike in Penn Sylvania the Price was now prohibitive except to the wealthy and there is not sufficient Wood in the Deal ers Yards in this City at the present time to Supply the requirements of one week and the Price of Wood is. Also go Ini up out of All reason. There is considerable Wood on the sidings of Bot i railways but it is practically impossible to get cars from either railway to brine it in. Should a cold snap come As it often does at this season of the year the consequences would be very serious Anil the Only Way to Avert a panic is to Corn Del the railway companies to furnish cars at once to bring in what Wood is now made and piled on the sidings. Prompt action on the part of the Council now would be in the Best interest of the mayor Arbuthnot suggested that in View of the urgency of a fuel Supply it might be advisable to take cars now used in supplying Stone to the City works to bring Coal in Case of a. Cold snap. Aid Latimer objected to this being done he thought such action would throw a Large number of people out 01 employment by stopping the work be inc carried on in paving the streets. He thought the difficulty could be Over come in some other Way. It was suggested that it might be bet Ter to have a few people out of employment rather than have Many die of cold As was now apparently a possibility. British Coal available. Mayor Arbuthnot then produced a. Telegram he had received from the mayor of Toronto regarding the fuel question. It read As follows having offers of Welsh Ana scottish and Yorkshire Coal the former reported to be nearly equal to Antnora Eite Price offered at Montreal from b to 57 per ton net. Reply if you want any. O. A. Howland the mayor said he lad wired to find out what the Cost would be to bring this Coal Here and he had found that hurts Oyster Industry. Brunst part conn., oct. The Oyster Indus try it this car of Long Island is tied up by the Coal strike the Price of Coal for Tho steamers being too a Iii Lor their profitable operation. Coup Imit i i j would Cost making the Price Laid Down Here about 516 per ton. Aid shape we can get Crow s nest Coal much cheaper than that. The mayor said he had heard that the mines at Lethbridge were closed Down for want of cars to Load. Com he asked if of permanent improvements in certain parts of the City. Gran lithic walks were now being paid for in Twenty years and they would for forty years if the payment Frei n extended Over that period the. Cost would be much less per year and Many would them where at present Plank walks were Laid because thy wit. Cheaper. He thought that in certain winns of Tho City none but permanent improvements should allowed to to Ini ire would include sewers in the As Well Side walks. Tho proposition was Favori Mentell upon by most of the present but no action was taken in the matter. A Street Scran. A letter was received from Thomas Fairbairn.
