O'Clock this afternoon President Mitchell
and Secretary wilson. of the United Mine
Workers of America, affixed their sigma
lures 10 the document which will call
14e eco miners of the Pennsylvania anthra-
cite region from their work Monday morn
ing and precipitate one of the most gi-
gantic strikes In the history of the labor
world.
The document was the official indorse-
ment of the request OF the anthracite
miners to strike. 1t was considered by
the national executive board of the Uni
ted Mine Workers, last week, and when
the board adjourned all power to indorse
the strike was left in the hands
of the national president and secretary.
The official order to strike was sent TO
the three presidents of the Pennsylvania
districts.
The order is simple recital OF the pro-
cedure of the three district bodies In APP
plying to the national board for author
ity TO strike and formal announcement
that the application is Endorsed and the
strike ordered. The order says:
''Do not wait for any further notice
TO strike, but cease work in body on and
after Monday. September II. 1900"
Both Were Nervous.
This afternoon President Mitchell and
Secretary Wilson sat In the headquar-
ters. Both were nervous. They opened
kilograms from different parts Of the an
thracite region with feverish haste. think
ing. rs they said. that each message might
be some concession from the operators
that would prevent the strike.
The three district presidents reported
this afternoon that OF the 1900 men in
the three districts. $4,000 would go on
strike Monday. President Mitchell would
not state what secret influence had been
at work to prevent the strike, and which
caused the delay. He said the person at
work had offered his services volun-
tarily and that the matter was conf
Dental AS to maintaining the men dur
ing the strike he said:
when men are hghting for just wages
they can subsist on very little. At any
rate 1t is safe to say that nobody will
starve or want for necessary clothing.
Most of the men live In company houses.
and we must consider the probability of
eviction, but these things have all been
fully considered. At this time 1t would be
feliy for the organization to 30 inte de-
tails as TO the provisions made for feed
ing and clothing the strikers
President Mitchell will leave Saturday
for Hazleton. Pa. TO personally conduct
the strike.

Mistrentment OF Prisoners.
The British war Office has issued a
long report from Lord Roberts on the
treatment Of British prisoners OF war at
Pretoria. founded on the report of the
court of inquiry.
Briefly. Lord Roberts declares that the
treatment OF the officers was fail. but that
the food of the men was quite Inadequate
and OF inferior quality He denounces the
treatment of the colonial prisoners as
criminal and says the inhuman treatment
Of sick prisoners there was the greatest
diseredit 10 the authorities then at Pre-
toria. The prevalence Of sickness and
many deaths OF prisoners, Lord Roberts
adds. are attributable 10 the lack Of prop
er food. medicines and the neglect OF or
binary sanitary precautions.
