MITCHELL MUTE ON OPERATORS OFFER
AT Shenandoah the Mine Workers Hold Met

Deemed Significant
(By the Associated Press. }


Philadelphia, Pa, Oct mo break has
yet occurred in the rank of the striking
mine workers, though additional offers
of an increase of ten per cent in wages
were posted throughout the region. In
fact there were many indications today
of an intention on the part of the strik-
ers to insist on other concessions and to
remain out until the operators give recog-
milton to their national organization.
The feature of the day was the parade
and mass meeting of mine workers at
Wilkesbarre arranged with the object of
demonstrating the strength of the United
Mine Workers.
President Mitchell was expected to in
dictate in his speech to the miners his
view on the ten per cent increase con-
coded by the operators, but beyond noting
it as a victory he had nothing to say
on that point.
Neither did he intimate anything as
to the probability of an early convention
of miners. and after the meeting when
questioned on that subject he said that
not local union had requested the call
ing of a convention.
significant move in this direction,
however, developed tonight at Shenan-
doah where all the branches of the Uni
ted Mine Workers held meetings and
selected delegates to a convention to be
called later by President Mitchell. This
is the first announcement of the selec-
tion of convention delegates.
The entire region was quiet today and
very few mines were in operation.

EVE OF eEoRG1A's ELECTION.
Sixty Nominees to be Elected Today. Demo
Gratis Look For 10000 Majority.
(By the Associated Press.


Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 2.-Sixty thousand
majority is the vote the Democratic party
of Georgia expects to obtain at the gen
eral State election tomorrow. The Popu-
lists who have a State ticket in the field
do not expect to elect it, but in many OF
the doubtful counties of the State they
claim they will name the local officers and
the members of the General Assembly.
The Republican organization has no
State ticket to be voted upon In some
districts Congressional candidates have
been named, more for the preservation
of the party organization than for cleo
ton.
On the Democratic ticket there are 60
nominees to be elected by general vote
of the State. The usual number was in
creased by recent legislation providing
for the election of judges and solicitors
of the judicial circuits by direct vote OF
the people.

MITCHELL TO MINE WORKERS.
You Must Decide Yourselves Whether You
Will Return to Work.
(By the Associated Press

Wilkesharre, Pa, Oct 1.-THE parade
and mass meeting of the striking miners
in this city today was the greatest labor
demonstration ever held in northeastern
Pennsylvania. President Mitchell and par
ty. arrived from Hazleton shortly after one
o'clock and were met at the depot by a
large and enthusiastic crowd. The parade
required an hour and twenty minutes to
pass a given point. 1t is estimated that
there were fully fifteen thousand men and
breaker boys in line. The great bulk of
the paraders was made up of stalwart
men. AS rule they were we'll dressed
and some of them from their appearance
might be taken for a body of farmers.
Many banners and transparencies were
carried by the men. Among the most no
table were these:
1--WE want our dinner pals filled with
substantial food, not coal barons taffy;"
I'VE are fighting a cause that is just and
right "Stand by President Mitchell and
the Union; "Our Union must be recog-
nized"; I'VE will no longer be slaves;
''2, 240 pounds for a tom 1--WE want two
weeks pay"
The breaker boys carried banners which
read:
1--WE need schooling but must work.;
s'Save us from the whims of the sheriff
and deputies; "Down with oppression;
I'VE will stand by Mitchell"
President Mitchell reviewed the great
army of marchers on the river common.
He was generously applauded by the
marchers.
When the last of the marchers swept
past President Mitchell he and his col
leagues were driven to West Side Park
where the big mass meeting was held.
Nearly 10000 persons were massed in
front of the stand when the labor presi
dent began to speak. Mr. Mitchell said:
1.-The greatest strike in the history of
the world is drawing to a close. Already
the great coal-carrying railroads have
agreed to increase your wages ten per
cent which is a great victory in itself.
True, it is not enough, it does not satisfy
us, but the time is not far distant when
the anthracite coal miners will receive
as much for their labor as any other
class of workmen in the world.
"This strike shall not be declared off
by me. 1t shall not be ended until
convention of anthracite miners shall SO
decide Every union and every colliery
will be asked to send one or more dele
gates to a convention to determine the
question for themselves. / shall not de-
eide the question of your going back to
work. You must vote on that yourself.
i will not pretend to determine your fate
or that of the 100000 who are directly
affected by this struggle"

Cambridge Wins the Boat RACE With
out Any Exertion-

London March 31.-The greatest
rowing contest Of Europe, that between
the Oxford and Cambridge crews,
ended today in most pitiful process
sion The only interesting feature was
that the record time was e4ualed.
Even this performance was minimized
by the fact that Cambridge won on
one Of the strongest food tides that
has marked race day in years, and in
perfect weather conditions.
The crowds were in no way diminish
ed from the tremendous proportions Of
recent years, but there was no chance
for enthusiasm. 1t is long time since
the race was so barren Of features.
If pressed, Cambridge probably could
have smashed all records.
Oxford is officially estimated to have
been beaten by one minute, out as a
matter of fact the dark blues had ceas-
ed rowing before they reached the
winning post and about a quarter Of
a mile separated at the finish one Of
the best from one of the worst crews
that ever appeared in this classic
event At no time of the race did Ok
ford appear to make and serious ef-
forts to catch us with their rivals, who
led from the start. The losers were
beaten before the race began and the
hundreds of thousands that blackened
the banks Of the Thames realized 1t.
