INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Sept. 12.-President
Mitchell OF the United Mine Workers Of
America had his attention called to-day to the
methods OF thestrikers in the Indian Territory
by the officials ut Washin gton com plants hav-
ing reached them from the officials OF the Ter
rtory Mr.. Mitchell received telegram from
Secretary Hitchcock OF the Interior Department
at Washington. saying that information had
been received that J. B. Reese OF Iowa and
Alfred Strubble OF Arkansas. labor organizers.
recently addressed meeting at Hartshorn.
l. T.. urging the miners now at work to strike ;
also that they would hold another meeting on
Sept. 10, and with the aid Of a brass band
would urge the non-union miners to Join the
ranks OF the strikers.
Such proceedings are entirely contrary to
law" MI Hitchcock said :" and are calculated
to ircie riot and bloodshed and will not be
tolerated. Request that you unite with the
Department in suppressing sucb contemp plated
violations Of the law"
President Mitchell replied that the meetings
held by Reese and Strubbe were for the pur-
pose OF inducing by persuasion only miners at
work to Join the strikers and demand fair con-
ditions OF employment. The result OF the
answer read:
1T was our understanding that the Con-
stitution OF the United States guaranteed all
citizens the right OF peaceful assem- blag0. and
all meetings held and contemplated were in
accordance with this understanding. l can
not understand why mine workers have not
as much right under the law to secure brass
hand and march to a given point for tho pur-
pose OF holding meeting. as any other class
of citizens. However I assure you that our
organization will not countenance or tolerate
tho com m ssion OF any overt act or violation
OF thu law"
Mr. Mitchell said tho matter had been re-
ported to the American Federation OF Labor
and will be taken up at their headquarters in
Washington.

CIVIL RULE FOR PORTO RICO.
President Thinks That Military Government
Nay Soon BE Suspended.

WASHINGTON. Sept. ia long time was
devoted at the meeting OF the Cabinet to-day
to a discussion OF the question Of establishing
temporary civil government in Cuba and Porto
Rico. The President believes that a condition
OF affairs has been reached in Porto Rico which
will make 1t safe very soon to suspend in q
large measure the purely military govern
ment and to replace the military officers with
others having merely civil functions. Affairs
have not progressed so rapidly In Cuba and
the question there 10 not pressing in
Porto Rico. 1t Is regarded as probable that
within few weeks number OF civil officers
will be appointed in the latter island. includ-
ing. perhaps. civil governors in certain dis
tricte. who shall have general supervision Of
administrative Affairs.
1t is not proposed to suspend the military
government all at once. but rather to accom-
plish a gradual transition from the military to
the civil. thus preparing the way for such q
permanent form OF government as Congress
may devise for the island.
