to be Unchanged.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 3.-The Wyo-
ming valley is unusually quiet, and the
mining condition remains unchanged.
The operators after reading President
MitchsHs address have apparently come
to the, conclusion that he is ready to aet.
tie the strike on the basis Of 10 per
cent increase In wages. The fact that be
has signihed bis intention of calling a
convention is taken by them as an indi-
cation that he Is willing to retire from
the struggle with the laureis he has won.
THE truth Of the matter is," said an
operator, Mitchell did not expect to
gain anything when he ordered the strike.
The fact that be denied calling it and
went to New York personally to inter
view the presidents Of the coal carrying
roads was convincing proof that he knew
the opposition that would be encountered
and that chances were against his win
ming He has got more concessions now
than he ever expected, and he will let II
so at that. II Is true he wants full
representation OF the unions at the con-
vention, but Mitchell Will dominate 1t, as
just at present he seems to be the idol OF
the anthracite men"
The strikers of this section say they
will pay no attention to the notices post
ed at the coilisries granting an increase
of wages until the United Mine Workers
convention takes action.
The Hillside Coal company has posted
notices Of 10 per cent increase.
