day witnessed the biggest demonstration
ever heId within its limits. over 5000
striking mine workers marched through
The streets ard up to Soldiers Monument
park, Locust mountain, where they held
a mass meeting and listened to words Of
encouragement from National President
John Mitchell, OF the United Minee Work
ers of America. The strikers came from
all sections Of the anthracite coal regions,
these from nearby points marching in q
body headed by bands, while those from
! more remote points, came IN trolley cars
President Mitchell spoke briefly, and vas
frequently interrupted by cheers. His
most important statement was one in
forming the strikers that they would
soon meet in convention. lie said:

tiae that ii q few days a convention vii!
DC called. Every mine viii be requested
TO send delegates. II you believe a net

or go down together"

tie charges that the strike was brought
on for political purposes, end that the
