Show Cleveland Has Nothing: to JDo With the Strike. Washlvgtox, March 29. A statement was published here this afternoon in effect that President Cleveland had been in telegraphic correspondence with Jay Gould concerning the labor troubles in the Southwest, charging him not to stand in the way of arbitration. It can be stated on authority that the President Presi-dent had no communication with Gould or any one else concerned in relation to labor troubles. Some time ago, much impressed im-pressed with the necessity for some sort of an arbitration board, composed of persons whose character would give confidence to employe and employer, and whose authority would be respected, he did think of calling the attention of Congress to the subject, as one demanding early and considerate actjon, but he learned it would be suggested by one of the Commissioners of the House, and he has done no more than make some suggestions sug-gestions to Mr. O'Neill.
