of powder offered by the company
Although the four men are members OF

Delegation Of Miners Discusses
the Situation With Lehigh
Valley Officials.

HAZLETOS, Pa, Oct. 22-Presidcnt
Mitchell Of the United A4ine Workers
practically admitted to representative
OF the Associated Press that if every
operator III the region were to post no.
tees similar to those that arc now be.
ing tackled up by some of the mine
owners this action would in itself prob.
ably not end the strike. He was asked
II all the companies were to post such
notices what his next step would be-.
AT first he hesitatcd aud then replied
Under the conditions laid down by
the Scranton miners convention there
could be no partial resumption Of work. .
When 1t was suggested that his reply
did not answer the question he said:
well, all will say is that if all the
companies post notices it would clear
up matters considerably. 1t would
remove some Of the obstacles that now
present themselves
This Is the first public statement
President Mitchell has made bearing Oh
the settlement Of the contest since the
operators at Scranton took their decid'
cd stand that the reduction Of powder
price must be considered in figuring
out the advance Ill wages.
