the mass meeting was held. For sew
eral hours 4 crowd had been gathering
there and it was estimated that nearly
20, 900 people were massed in front of
the stand when the labor president be-
gan to speak. The reception he got
from the vast crowd was most ell
thusiastic. II. d. Nichols. president OF
district No. l. comprising the Lacka-
wanna and Wyoming regions, was the
chairman Of the meeting. After George
Purcell, of Indiana, member of the ma
tional executive board. and Rev. L. J.
Dunn, OF Wilkesbarre, had made short
addresses, Mitchell was introduced.
His speech was a plea for sticking to
the miners union and Il promise that
loyalty TO the union would be reward
cd with victory.
President Mitchell's address as far
as outlining any future move on the
part of the labor leaders is concerned
was a disappointment. He intimated
strongly Monday night that he would
define the position Of the union yes
terday on the 10 per cent. concession.
His failure to do 50 caused the i'm
preston to go out that he is still un-
decided what should be done, and that
he is probably waiting for local unions
to take some kind of action first. On
the other hand some people who are in
close touch with the situation argue
that his telling the men that they can
settle the 10 per cent. increase ques1 |
ton 10y holding Il convention was a |
broad hint To the local leaders to carry |
out the suggestion. |
President Mitchell. in answer to a |
direct question last night. said that |
not one local union in the entire an /
tnracite coal field had requested the !
calling Of a convention of the miners.
When the correspondent told Mitchell |
that there had been some disappoint-
ment expressed because he failed to |
give out any information in his speech, !
he replied with Il smile that he al
most said something" but caught him
self before il was too late.

Nowhere in the mining regions yes
