LETTER TO PRESIDENT.
Mitchell’s Reply to Roosevelt’s Men
sage of Last Monday,
Washington, OcL 9.—The following
was made public at the W'hite House
today:
Wllkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 8. 1902.—Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt,, President of the
United States—Dear Sir: Hon. Cat'
loll D. Wright has, no duubt, reported
to you the delivery of your message to
mo last Monday, and my statement to
him that I should take your sugges
tion under advisement, although I did
not look upon It with favor.
Since' that time I have consulted
with our district president, who concur
fully in my views.
We desire to assure again that wo
feel keenly the responsibility of our
position and the gravity of the situ
ation, and it would give us great pleas,
uro to take any action which would
hrlug thls coal strike to an end in j
manner that would safeguard tho in
terests of our constituents.
In prophesying that there be an im
mediate resumption of coal mining up.
on tho conditions we suggested at tho
White House, we believed that we had
gone more than half way and had met
your wishes.
It is unnecessary in this letter to
refer to tho malicious assault made
upon us in the response of the coal
operators. We feel confident that you
must have been impressed with the fair
ness of our proi>osltlon and the Insin
cerity of those who maligned us.
Having in mind our experience with
the coal operators In the past, we have
no reason to feel any degree of confl
dence in their willingness to do ns
Justice in tho future, and Inasmuch
as they have refused to accept the de
cision of a tribunal created by you,
and In as much as there is no law
through which you could enforce tho
finding of the commission you sug
gest, wo respectfully decline to advise
our people to return to work simply
upon the hope that the coal operators
might bo 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 prop
osition at Washington. We do not
fee 1 that wo 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 suf
fering and inconvenience by a pro
longation of the coal' strike, and we
feel that the onus of this terrible state
of affairs should be placed upon the
side which has refused to tefer it to
a fair and impartial Investigation.
