stage in the general strike of the MARI
borough shoe workers was reached to-
day. when the big factory of $. I'll.
Howe Shoe company and two ether
smaller establishments. controlled by
the company, resumed operations. after
a shutdown of more than two months.
The Howe company, when all its fac
tories are running in full employs
about 1900 hands. The superintendent
says he has received more applications
for work than he has positions for at
this time. Mr.. Gompers. president of
the American Federation of Labor. VINO
is in the city, has arranged for a per-
sonal conference with President s. ii.
Howe for the purpose of relieving the
situation. Mr.. Howe still refuses to
recognize any organization, and the
meeting is entirely personal. The
strike leaders assert that only a small
percentage of those who struck have
returned under the free shop" system.
and that the position of the union is
as strong as at the beginning.

these unfortunate conditions you held
the neutrality in perfect poise. can tes-

much comment. The event will be a his
tor.c one. as this Is the first reception

DEPENDS UPON OPERATORS.
They Are Called Upon to Arbitrats
and to Reorganixe the Miners
TTnfOu.

UntOns
PITTSBURG, KAS.. April 22.-(Special.)
The principal result of the delegate con-
vention Of miners which adjourned in this
city at nearly midnight last night, was
the passing Of the following resolution:
Resolved. That the executive board of
district No. IA be empowered to call on
the operators. of said district to meet in
conference the executive boards of districts
Nos. IA and q. in Pittsburg. at as early a
date as possible. not later than May i, to
arrange settlement of the strike in Ar
kansas and Indian Territory. by arbitra-
ton. and recognition of the United Mine
Workers Association; and. be it
Resolved, That. should this fail. the dis
trict officers are instructed to call dele
gate convention of the miners to take such
steps which may be deemed necessary to
get the strike settled"
The question of restriction. which played
a prominent part in the discussions for a
time. was finally referred back to the
miners for final and separate adjustment.
1t Is told by some Of the delegates that
an attempt on the part of James Boston
and others of the national executive COM
mittee to make a talk to the convention
was cried down because Of their known
sentiment for strike above all things.
The situation Is yet in an unsettled condi-
tion. at the best. and the outcome cannot
be guessed at the present time. The con-
vention also voted nearly unanimously
against the recommendation that each
working miner should pay 81 per week to-
wards the support of striking miners in
the Arkansas and Indian Territory district.

NOBODY AFTER MATTOX.
Pursuit of the Oklahoma Multi-Mur-
derer Has Been Abandoned
Altogether.

GUTHRIE. o. T., April 22-(special1
Clyde Mattox, murderer. is not only a free
man, but there is now no one who is after
him to make him u prisoner. AS is well
known, the Kay county officials abandoned
the chase at Mattox' request very soon af-
ter they commenced it. and the United
States officials, also, are making no effort
to land him.
1.-The murder was committed in Kay
county and we did not consider it our bus
mess to go after Mattox," said clerk in
the United States marshal's department to-
day. "The report that President McKin-
ley's pardon to Mattox was conditional is
not true. Had 1t been 80 we would. of
course. have taken after him long ago."
Ponca City citizens say they would have
seen to Mattox' capture themselves had
it not been for the unpopularity of the Pop
county officials. I'VE thought We would let
the sheriff do what he was paid to do with
out interference" one of them said.
If a reward is offered for his capture and
Mattox is ever placed in Jail he probably
will be entitled to the reward himself. No
body else seems to want to get him.
