President Gompers Speaks Of the slaught.
er of the Strikers

Washington. September 1I-Presi-
dent Gompers, Of the American Feder-
alton Of Labor, today, after bitterly de-
nouncing the killing Of the men near
Hazleton as brutal murder said:
"The men were marching on the pub
lie highway. They had as much right
to march to Latimer or any other place
as the president of the United States.
The mine operators in the madness OF
their supposed power and in their ef-
fort to enslave labor have used judges
and courts to give the color OF law to
the most fragrant violation of the rights
of the people. Sheriffs and deputies
taking their cue from their superiors,
have carried out this policy and killed
men exercising their rights under the
constitution and law. In his published
explanation Sheriff Martin makes an
effort to incur favor by repeatedly en-
phasizing his statement that the
miners he killed were foreigners. It
may be true that these men were not
native Americans, but they were the
men brought here by the greed and
cunning Of the mine operators and so
long as they submitted to being starved
no word as to their foreign birth was
heard, but this cry of foreigner is like
a cloud OF dust raised to obscure the
crime The miners will win their hu.
name and heroic struggle; they de-
serve to win; their conduct has chal-
lenged the admiration Of their f1ends
and syr1pathizers.

Goblin expressed his satisfaction with
the prOmptitude Of the response TO the
cal Ito arms. The Ninth was called
out at o'clock this morning in Wilkes
barre by the ringing Of the fire alarm
and at o'clock 400 Of the 4o0 men were
on the train travelling towards Hazel
ton.
The town looks as if it were in a state
of seige tonight as the booted and
spurred warriors are to be seen at
every turn. The presence of the troops
has sufficed to maintain order thus far,
but it is not repressing public opinion.
This is almost unanimous in condemn
ing in the most severe terms the action
Of the deputies last night. Official

tongue. Many prominent citizens Of
the town. including Rev. Father Moy-
Ian, of ST. HaZels church; Rev. Mr..
Spaulding, Of the Baptist; and Rev. Mr..
Wagner, of the Lutheran church, have
drawn an informal protest, not only
against the action Of the sheriff and
his deputies, but against the calling out
of the militia, which, they declare, was
unnecessary. In spite of this, however,
the uneasy feeling increases. The
strikers have made up their minds, as
several of them said today, to remain
in perfect quietness until Monday.

The meeting at Latimer today was
one worthy of description by a Victor
Hugo. 1t was held not far from the
spot Of last nights conflict. The coun-
try is bare and desolate there. Huge
coal breakers loom up against the SKY
line here and there, and few tumbled
down shanties, the "hOmes" of the
miners nesting amid the culmn banks
and there is an occasional group of un-
healthy looking trees "A great rabble
of bearded and sallOw men were gath
cred before one of these shanties and
from time to time a gaunt and bony
figure would push to the front and har-
angue his companions in a strange
tongue the comments and criticisms
of his hearers mihgling with his gut
terals in an absolute babel.
Twenty different languages are
spoken in Hazleton and there it seemed
as if all were being spoken at once.
The meeting decided to take no action
until Monday, when a committee con-
sisting of four Poles, four Italians and
four Hungarians will visit the oper-
ators and notify them of their inten-
tion to remain out with the other strik-
ers until every demand is granted.

Columbus, Ohio September 1.-THE
great miners strike, which was declared
on July 4th, was brought to an end this
evening, so far, at least, as western Penn
sylvania. Ohio, Indiana and West Vir-
ginia are concerned, by the action OF the
interstate convention of miners. which
has been in session here since Wednes-
day. After a day of voting and Vrang-
ling, the convention adopted a resolution
accepting the proposition Of the Pittsburg
operators. The vote was 495 for and 81
against accepting the terms of settlement.
Eleven votes were not cast.
The delegates from IllioniS, who had
80 votes, were unanimously against a
settlement. Indiana and West Virginia
voted solid to accept the operators propo-
sition, but there were scattering votes
among the Ohio and Pittsburg delegates
against 1t. The proposition accepted pro-
vides for Is cents in the Pittsburg dis
trict, all other places where a relative
price can be obtained TO resume work and
contribute literally to the miners who do
not receive the advance, at which places
the fight Is to continue to a bitter finish
While ten days is provided for the
miners to resume work, 1t is probable
many Of the Ohio and Pittsburg men will
report Monday. Some Of the Illionis del
egates are bitter in their denunciation of
the action of the convention. They claim
consideration.

the directors OF the Bank Of England

event Of note and Importance
bffer made by Superintednet
the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre

the company, about 1000 in number.
A big meeting was held at McAdOo, in
the afternoon, to consider this offer,
and after discussion and speech max
ing it was decided to accept the prop
OsitiOn, the men to return to work next
Tuesday morning. But little conf
dence follows this decision, as it is
taken for granted that as soon as the
men return to work, pressure from the
men still out will be brought to bear to
restore them to the strikers ranks and
it is admitted that there will be no re-
sistance.
This was only one Of three mass
meetings held today. Another at Har-
wood adopted resolutions expressing
sympathy for our murdered brethren
who were shot down at Latimer," and
continuing in this fashion: For years
we have been oppressed by G. Pardee
& Co., by the payment Of starvation
wages. They have deprived us of our
liberty by compelling us to deal in
their company store. They have forced
US to purchase powder at five times it's
actual value and have otherwise tyran-
nized us in ways too numerous to men,
ton, SO that We are no longer free men,
but slaves. We assembled together
peaceably and to seek redress for our
grievances. Not one mon among us
Was armed. Our mission was not to
take human life nor to destroy proper
ty, but to go and meet our fellow en-
ployes of the same company at Lati-
mer, who were in sympathy with u.s.
We were opposed on the public high
way and without prOvOcatiOn were shot
down like dogs. We place ourselves
before the bar of public opinion and
appeal to the good citizens Of this state
and county and ask them if there was
justification or warrant in such as
sassination.
Resolved, That we extend our SYM
pathies to the friends and relatives Of
those who have fallen and pray to God
that those now dead will live in our
memories as martyrs to the cause of
down trodden labor"
The third meeting was the most
largely attended. 1t began at Halle
park about o'clock this afternoon and
adjourned to Donegal Hill, an open
place at one end of the city, where it
was in progress tonight. The purpose
of this meeting was also to extend
sympathy and to decide upon a course
of action in consequence of last nights
catastrophe.
Throughout the day the city has been
given up to excitement which by it's
suppressed character has been more
Oninous than a more turbulence one
would have been. The incoming Of the
state troops. which began at an early
hour this morning, served to cover the
strikers and their sympethizers and
no further demonstration was made
than the gathering at street corners
of knots of men and women in mutter-
ed but intense discussion Of the shoot
ing. Tonight there are fully $500 SOL
diers camping in town. The first to
arrive was the Ninth regiment under
Colonel Doughterty, from Wilkes
barre.
General Goblin, commander Of the
Third brigade, arrived early in the
morning and established headquarters
in the office Of the division superin-
tendent of the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company, from which point he as
signed the commands to points on the
outskirts and in the city. General
