TERMS NOT COMPLIED WITH.
Over 5000 Lackawanna Valley Men Re-
fuse to Go to Work.


fuse to Go to Work.
Scranton, Pa, Oct. 29.-Over 5000
mine employees in the Lackawanna val
ley refused to retorn to work because
the companies for which they had min
ed coal failed to comply with the terms
of the Scranton miners convention.
The companies affected are the Ontario
& Western Railroad company's ten
mines employing 1000 men, the FOrst
Mining company at Archibald, employ
ing 800 men who have been on strike
since last July; Green Ridge Coal COM
pany employing 400, and the Clark
Tunnel Coal company employing 100.
At all the other mines there was a
complete resumption, even at those Of
Jermyn & Company, in Old Forge.
where it was believed yesterday the
men would not 60 back until they were
assured that the grievance because of
which they struck last March will be
adjusted.
The Ontario & Western cOmpany's
employees will hold mass meeting at
Peckville this afternoon at which they
will insist upon the company putting
up supplemental notice conforming
Will tue uOtlCc POslcu ny the LdChd-
wanna, the Delaware T. Hudson and
the Pennsylvania companies. They
will insist upon the positive announce
ment that powder will be sold to min
ers at $3.50 keg and that the wage
increase per car will be 2R cents. They
will give the company reasonable time
in which to post the notices and the
leaders say if this is not done the men
will seek work in other mines where
there is reported to be a scarcity of
help. Several thousands of men who
struck have either gone TO the western
soft coal fields or returned to their
homes in Europe. This naturally dim
finishes the supply of competent help
as the mines all want to work to their
fullest capacity i'm order to replenish
exhausted stocks of coal. For this
reason it is believed that the union can
tie up mines that show disposition
not to comply with their demands.
The labor leaders say they will insist
upon the enforcement Of the mine laws
which provide that miners must be
qualified workmen and have certifi-
Gates 10 that effect. This would pre-
vent the bringing In Of emigrants and
miners from other states.

MITOHELI'S SPEECH AT PITTST0N
Tells the Men There to Go to Work
Breaker Boys Gift to the U.
M. w. Leader.

Wllkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 29.-All the
coal companies in the Wyoming valley
with few exceptions have posted no
tees granting their employees the 10 per
cent. increase asked for by the Scran-
ton convention. The exceptions are
few individual operators who do not
employ many hands. But it Is said
that when the men employed at these
collierles reported for work today they
were told that they would receive the
same wages paid by the other COM
panies. The Kingston Coal company
had notices posted yesterday granting
the increase. This company employees
900 men and was the last of the big
individual concerns i'm the valley to
grant the increase. The officials of the
Susquehanna company had a confer
ence with their employees Saturday
night and agreed to pay them the ad-
vance.
Tells Them All to Go to Work.
President Mitchell and the executive
board of the United Mine Workers
visited PittstOn yesterday afternoon.
They were received by large crowd
and there was the greatest enthusiasm.
Addresses were made by Mitchell,
Dilcher and Others Mitchell told all
the miners to go to work today. He
also congratulated them on their good
behavior during the strike.
Present From Breaker Boys.
Scranton, Pa, Oct. 29.-One of the
most remarkable and probably the last
great demonstration in connection with
the big anthracite coal strike occurred
here Saturday night in Music hall
when President John Mitchell was pre-
sented by the breaker boys Of Dis
trict No. with a magnificent solid
gold badge. There was wildly cheer
Ing crowd of over 1000 of the little
fellows gathered in the hall when
President Mitchell arose to receive the
badge, which was placed on him by
Winnie Phillips, a ten-year-old lad who
made a clever speech. Mitchell was
much affected, and it was some mo-
ments before he could pull himself to-
gether sufficiently to speak and thank
the boys.
From Breaker 10 school House.
The badge contains on one side a
picture of breaker joined by the word
''To" with a school house, the idea be-
| ing that President Mitchell Is laying
the foundation for the taking of the
breaker boys out of the breaker and
putting them in school. Following the
meeting there was big parade of the
breaker boys over the principal streets
Of the city.

MORE ABOUT POLITICS
ABE JONES GIVES HIS OPINIONS
Thinks that Majority of the People
Believe in American Progress
Regardless Of Party.

This paper says that in my last
great speech / talked through my
hat" Well, why shouldn't 1? Re
publicans usually wear tall hats in
vented by Mr.. Plug or low hats bear
ing the name of Mr.. Derby, both of
which are iron clad and allow not
particle of the small amount of brains
of the wearers to escape. Democrats
wear soft hat so porous that sharp
shots of wisdom and justice can be
fred through it in all directions, to
the utter CONSERVATION of republicans.
But to come down to business 1 want
to tell you that / am a subscriber to
PUBLIC OPINION for several reascns:
LIST, the proprietor of this paper is a
gentleman, as is every employee of the
estaf lishment. / am not hide bound
politician and my only desire is to be
right and then go ahead. There are
other republican papers in this city,
and it seems to me that if their prin-
eiples are right they should extend the
right hand of fellowship to each other
and join forces to help each other
down the enemy. A good cause can't
have too many advocates, and the
right party and principles is what we
are looking for. My I'd reason for
being a subscriber is that the paper
will publish the remarks of democrat,
even if they are fired through cheap
hat. My Sd reason is that in all great
battles it is deemed necessary to have a
spy in the enemy's camp, and it re-
quires the greatest courage and patrio-
tism, for if discovered he is instantly
introduced to rope of hemp, but in
taking a republican paper one can spy
upon the enemy without being in
danger of anything but rope of sand.
/ sometimes wonder why there is all
this uproar over politics, travelling
thousands of miles, begging, pleading,
buying votes and spending millions OF
dollars in single campaign. No doubt
there are some-very few-who are in
it for their personal benefit, who care
no more for the general public than
they do for an Indian cigar sign, while
not one in ten thousand of the people
but what are anxious for the best
good of all concerned. Does anyone
believe that the 6,500O00 people who
voted for Bryan in 1896 or the 7,0O0,-
900 who voted for Mckinley wanted to
destroy this grand republic, or that a
single one of them wanted to injure il
in the least? Did you ever ask your
self the question show can one-hal1
the people destroy the other half with
out des troying themselves" An over
whelming majority of the people are
like members of different churches who
are all bound for that eternal home be
yond the skies, but peacefully and
sensibly taking slightly different
roads. So the people are honest in
their endeavors to maintain the honor
glory and prosperity of the most mag
nificent republic ever known on earth
but it is their right and privilege u
pursue different methods for the sam,

gIVania Dies in Atlantic CITY

Lincoln, Aug. 17.-LincOln rendered
a handsome welcome to Mr.. Bryan yes
terday upon his return to his home
here after an absence of ten days.
When they alighted from the train Mr..
and Mrs. Bryan were met by a local
committee, who escorted them to car
riages. Then the band struck up a
march, and the procession started for
the Bryan home. There was a local
committee of escort in carriages, all
gaily bedecked with the national coll
ors, while the Bryan Home Guards in
white suits and the Continentals in
new George Washington uniforms, to-
gether with many citizens not in uni
form, marched on foot as a guard of
honor.
After speeches OF welcome Mr..
Bryan, among other things. had this
to say about changing issues:
Parties do not make issues. parties
meet issues. Before 1892 the silver
question began to rise into prominence.
and in the campaign of 1892 we dis
cussed both the tariff question and the
silver question, but the silver question
more than the tariff question. The
silver question went on increasing in
Importance until in 1896 we had the
fight in the nation upon the same lines
that we had it in the state two years
before and, after two years Of consider
alton, the people Of Nebraska had so
changed their minds that we carried
this state by 1900 majority. That was
the change that took place after a
study Of the subjects then before the
country If we had had our way about
1t we would have in this campaign at
this time the same questions we had In
1896; but events have thrust into the
arena Of politics new questions"
