Mitchell on the Concession.

SAID PRESIDENT Mitchell tonight:
IF the 10 per cent increase is cor
rect, while far from satisfactory, it is
the greatest victory ever received by
organized labor. and won under the
most adverse circumstances. OF course
i have nothing to say as to what ac-
tion will be taken as to the accpetance
or rejection of any proposition-ths
must be determined by the whole body
of anthracite miners themselves. Our
organization will not make the mis-
take which has wrecked many other
organizations, of assuming power to
determine, through its officers, the
happiness or misery of the 500 900 men,
women and children dependent upon
the anthracite coal industry for live
Nhood."

ents oppose the 10 per cent increase
until concessions are made by their
rivals, the Coal-carrying railroads,

This is the situation, as well as can
be judged from statements of men who
attended the secret meetings of oper-

sentiment is in favor OF granting the
workers the increase in pay and a re-

There is no good reason why city
children should have better manners
than those brought up in the COun
try, but it is a fact that they do, in
the majority Of cases. The excuse
is sometimes given that country
people have no time to give to such
things but I think the real reason is
that, as a rule, they do not consider
it of sufficient Importance. An old
lady once said to me, "When l was
a child at home, all my efforts at pO-
likeness were so ridiculed that, to
this day, 1 cannot walk across the
floor naturally when out in com
pany." Unless children are trained
to be polite every day, they are
bound to be awkward and i'll at ease
