What do yon mean by politicians? I want you and ail operators to understand tliat I am the governor of New York, the chosen representative of 7.000,000 people, and that 1 sin here iu this matter solely in that capacity, and to relieve if possible, an intolerable situation. And, what is more, 1 intend to use every power at my cuiumaud to do it. The forgoing statement was made by Governor Odell of New York to President Baer of Hie Reading road, iu Hm presence of United .States Senators Platt of New York aud Quay and Penrose of Pennsylvania, in a conference on the coal strike al New York Friday. It w as the culmination ut a licaled interview iu the office of Senator Platt sud the result of the meeting between tioveruor Odell and President Baer. Mr. Baer waa not in the best of humor when, accompanied by K. It. Thomas, chairumn of the board of directors of the Erie railroad, he entered Seuator Piatts office. The conference began by a statement made by Senator Penrose that Hie situation wav becomings'; serious that some solution must befouud ut once, lie suggested that the operators should incline to some concessions toward a IRATE SULTAN Very settlement. If you mean liy that, said President Baer, that we are to recognize Hie existence of a labor uuion, I tell you right now that tlie operators will consider uoaucIi proposition. Governor Odell was on his feet in an nt instant. Holding a cigar iu bis band, and white with exciteAre we to understand ment, he suiii: that no kind of conciliatory proposition would rebeive attention at the half-bur- handsof the operators. "I did uot say tliut, answered Mr. Baer, hut do say that wc will not accept political advice or allow the interference uf politicians iu this, our 1 affair. Then it was that Governor Odell made the statement attributed to him at the beginning of this article. President Baer, evidently appreciating that he had gone too far, bowed to Governor Odell and said: Governor, 1 beg your pardon. No personal affront was intended, and we will listen to BDy suggestions you may have to make. But agaiu 1 repeat that we must refuse to recognize the uuioo represented by Mr. Mitchell. 1 do believe. said the governor, that your position, from a public view, in absolutely untenable. If coal operator!., railroad men mid oilier business men cau combine for mutual profit and protection, there is no reason why laboring men should not.
