MITCHELL WILL NOT TALK.
One RI tors Have Not Officially Kcc-
OEnizcd the Union.

HAZELTON, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE news
from Philadelphia today that the Phil
adclphia e. Reading Coal Il Iron COM
pany. after a conference with officials
Of other mining companies, had agreed
to the anthracite miners proposition as
set forth in resolutions adopted in con-
ference last Saturday, brought forth
many expressions of surprise that it
should come SO soon after the conven-
ton. President Mitchell, Of the United
Mine Workers, when informed Of the
Reading company's action by reprcs-
cntativc of the Associated Press was
asked for a statement on this accep-
lance of the miners proposition. All he
would say, however, was that he would
be glad indeed to know that the anthra-
cite coal operators had agreed to change
the notices previously posted. so as to
! comply with the provisions Of the reso-
luton adopted at the Scranton conven-
ton.
Mr.. Mitchell Declined to Suy
whether the union would let the men re-
turn to work at those collieries where
the operators had accepted the miners
proposition, before all the companies
had fallen in to line.
It is generally believed that the big
coal carrying roads that mine coal will

ana grant acceptance OF the PROPOSE
ton and that all other opera tors will
do the same. & & . .5#.s
I The first companies in the Hazlcton
region to take action similar to that Of
the Reading company were Calvin Par
dee Il Co.. operating the Luttimcr coll
icries, and y. Pardcc & Co., owners Of
the Cranberry mines, both Of them in
dividual concerns.
The News From Philadelphia
spread through the entire region with
almost lightning rapidity. Everywhere
satisfaction was expressed by the strik-
ing miners and others. 1t is confidently
believed that the strike will be official
~ declared off this week and that all
the mcn will have chance to return
to work by Monday.
A rumor that the strike had been Off
cially declared off spread almost as
! quickly through the coal fields as did
! the Philadelphia news and many tclc-
graph and telephone messages were re-
ccivcd at national headquarters asking
if the rumor was true.
Prcsi.lent Mitchell Informed
all inqurers that the strike would be
declared off by no one but the United
Mine Workers officials, and added that
no mine workers should return to the
mines until a notice to- that effect is
! issued by labor headquarters.
! President Mitchell will be informed OF
the concessions made by the compan.
les only through the medium of the no.
tees posted by the operators at thei,
collicries. 1t is not expected that he
will receive any official notice from the
owners as such action would be a re.
cognition of the union.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1900-10-20

It's all up to the miners now. We
have agreed to Seyeryt thing. and .noth-
Ing remains now but for Them to return
to work as soon as the notices are
posted by the colliery managers. These
notices will be practically similar to
the Reading company's notice, the
phraseology only being changed. I
look for a resumption of operations
by Monday at the latest. The con-
ference was entirely harmonious and
every phase Of the strike situation
was gone over"
just How Soon
the official order notifying the men
that the strike is ended and to return
to work will be issued by President
Mitchell can only be conjectured. 1t is
believed here that no order to return
will be issued until a notice similar to
or in line with that Of the Reading
and Lehigh companies is posted at all
the mines.
Text Of the Notices
The Reading cOmpany's notice reads:
The Philadelphia, Reading Coal
Iron Co., hereby withdraws the notice
posted Oct. 8, 1900, and to bring about
practical uniformity in the advance OF
wages in the several coal regions, gives
notice that it will suspend. the oper.
alton of the sliding scale, will pay ter
per cent advance on September wages
till April !, 1901, and thereafter unit
further notice; and will take up witt
it's mine employees any grievance:
which they may have"
The Lehigh Valley company, in whose
region the sliding scale is also il
operation will publish similar motto,
as will. also the Individual operator!
who were represented at the meeting
This meets all the demands of thu
strikers and means the immediate end

NEW MIL 10 GRIND !.
UNIVERSAL PLANT WILL be COM
: PLETED NEXT WEEK.

The Duluth Universal Mill Colnpany's
new plant will begin opera tons. some
time next week. The mill has BEEN in
course of construction at 18TH avenue
West and the harbor front during the
past three months and IS now APP
preaching completion. 1t is thorough
ly modern plant and the company an
nounces its intention to make flour that
will give the institution a good rcpu-
tation in the flour milling world. It is
a mill of 500, barrels day capacity
and thoroughly, first class in all re-
spects.:
The starting up Of the flour mill will
place Duluth once more in the list Of
flour manufacturing towns. The I'm
perial mill has not turned u wheel for
nearly a year and it. would take sever
al months to put it in shape for opera
ton if the work were to begin imrned-
lately. The Universal Mill company
has assurances of a market for all the
flour it can produce and the Duluth
market will be no incOnsiderable one
for the new institution. When the
Imperial mill was operated its flour
| was very popular in this market for
the reason that it was Duluth product
and Of standard quality.
The Universal Mill company's plant
will mean the establishment Of new
and prosperous industry in Duluth.
W: A. Scott, president Of the company,
was formerly head miller of the Imper-
ial mill and q man Of wide and sue
cessful experience in the manufacture
of flour. II. l.. Mccormick of Hayward
Wis, is vice president and "A. D. Good
man; of Duluth, is secretary and treas
, urcr.
One OF the leading brands Of the new
milling company will be Duluth Uni

is expected that their plant will be.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-THE great
strike Of the anthracite mine workers
Of Pennsylvania which began Sept: IL.
practically ended today when the
philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron
company and the Lehigh Valley Coal
company agreed to abolish the sliding
scale in their respective regions and
TO grant an advance in wages Of ten
Per cent net, the advance to remain
in operation until April l, 1901, or there
after This action meets the demands
of the Scranton miners convention. The
decision was arrived at after a con-
ference between representatives Of the
individual coal operators and the large
coal carrying companies. The con-
ference began yesterday.
No More Sliding Scale
Today's action was the elimination
Of the recent meeting of the individual
vpcrators at Scranton following the
mine workers convention in the same
city. Nearly all of the collieries in
the coal region had previous to the
mine workers convention posted notices
granting an dutdlCC VI ICl pSA NSAS'
The mine workers in considering this
demanded that the sliding scale in the
Lehgh and Schuylkill districts be
abolished, the increase to be guaranteed
until April, /, 1901. and all other differ
cnccs be submitted to arbitration. The
individual operators agreed to every
thing and the appointment of q COM
1nittce to induce the Reading and the
Lchigh companies to. abolish the slid
lug scale and make the wage increase
permanent followed. It is conceded
that the result of today's conference
is a complete victory for the men.
All Demands Accetlcd to.
All the demands of their convention
are acceded to and as one of in

the people on the shore after the gale

in sheets through the air. In an hour
after the gale struck him Mr.. Totes
clothes were drcnched with water and
he was chilled to the bone. His friends,
When they observed the fury Of tho

full of water and then Mr.. Toftc baled

happened to be in the boat. He worked
every moment of the time. .

Mr.. Toftc. was out all that night
amid a wilderness Of white caps, and
all day Tuesday until evening, and
when the unfortunate fisherman got
over into the track Of big vessels ply

heart bounded with the hope that he
would be sighted and picked up. He
saw several vessels but nobody APP
pcared to have seen him. One big boat
i Monday night passed within 1000 feet
Of Mr.. TOfte. She was bound toward
Duluth and though the tired and be-
numbed fisherman called out as loudly
as possible his voice was swallowed UP
in the rushing wind and water. "a

nice reading, it has the effect of aiding
the gamblers and operators in destroy
ing the value of the growing crops.
Resolved, That we demand that the
terminal elevators be placed in the con-
troll Of the government and prevent the
many abuses that now exist on account
of permitting big operators traficing in
the products Of the public, while charg-
ing the public exorbitant carrying
charges, and using the grain stored by
the public to systematically raid the
prices or value of the products in their
keeping, while they figure that the low
er the price of farm products the more
money is in it for the operator, as a
cheap bushel of grain will earn more
income for them than dear bushel
While by the manipulation of mixing
grades they destroy the commercial
value of these grades in the markets of
the world, by raising inferior grades
to what is known on board of trade
rules as contract grades" We desire
the national government to assume con-
troll Of public grain elevators at market
centers by appointment of government
inspectors to see that the grades COM
ing In be the same when going out.
Resolved, That we recommend that an
Official inquiry be taken up by the de-
partment of agriculture to ascertain the
actual cost Of raising bushel Of grain
or pound of cotton" etc.
We recommend that an appropriation
be set aside so that this inquiry can be
made exhaustive, extensive, complete
and accurate.
