Failure to settle coal strike ends conference in Washington

The great 1902 coal conference between President Roosevelt and mine and operator leaders failed to reach an arbitration agreement.

Massachusetts Republicans Nominate State Ticket

At the state convention Boston on October 2 a bid to amend the platform failed as delegates rejected a proffered plank calling for tariff revision. The ticket nominated includes John L. Bates for governor, Geo Curtis Guild Jr. for lieutenant governor, William M. Olin for secretary of state, Edward S. Broadford for auditor and receiver general, and Norbert Parker for attorney general. An attempted proLincoln to add reciprocity with Canada and free trade items was defeated amid floor turmoil.
