Most Notable Victory Ever Won by Labor.
Great Rejoicing Everywhere Over
Its Good Termination.
WORK BEGINS ON MONDAY
ALL THE COMPANIES THAT HAVE SIGNED THE SCALE WILL
START UP FULL BLAsT-GLAD TO BEGIN
AGAIN.

Hazelton, Pa, Oct. 25.-The following
was given out for publication tonight by
President Mitchell:
Temporary Headquarters, United
Mine Workers of America, HaZelton,
Pa.-To the Miners and Mine Workers
of the Anthracite Region-Gentlemen
After carefully canvassing the entire
strike situation, your officers district
and national, have concluded that your
victory is so nearly completed that no
good can be served by continuing the
strike longer. The contest has been in
progress for 80 days and the companies
employing you have, with few excep-
tions, signified their willingness to pay
the scale of wages formulated by the
Scranton convention of October q.
I'VE are aware that some dissatisfac-
ton has been caused by the failure in
some districts to agree to the reductions
of powder and the advance in wages, but
after careful inquiry we are satisfied
that each mine employe will actually re-
ceive an advance of 10 per cent on the
wages formerly paid. In the Schuylkill
and Lehigh regions the largest compa-
MES have agreed that the sliding scale
should be suspended and that wages
should remain stationary at 10 per cent
until April l, 1901, thus removing one of
the things which have been complained
of for many years.
GAS there are some few companies
Which have not posted notices, notified
nor signified in any manner their will
ingness to pay the 10 per cent advance
in wages and suspend the sliding SCALE
we would advise that until the men em-
ployed by such companies receive notice
that the advance is to be paid that the
men continue on strike until those en-
plOying them agree to the conditions.

WORKERS REJOICE.
Everybody Glad to Get Back to
Work.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 26.-There is great
rejoicing today all through Scranton and
the Lackawanna Valley at the calling
off of the anthracite miners strike. The
order has had the effect of stimulating
the companies which had not already
posted notices agreeing to advance
wages 10 per cent to do so, and today the
Pennsylvania Coal company sent out it's
official notice to IT'S miners at Dunmore,
Averea and Pittston. Like action was
also taken by the Moosic Mountain Coal
company, and this evening will find the
notice up at every mine in the valley
from Forest City to Pittston. Fifty
three thousand men and boys between
these points will therefore resume work
on Monday. Today the mining COM
panies have forces engaged in getting
the mines in shape for resumption on
Monday. At the mines all the sidings
are filled with cars, and the shipments
of coal are certain to be large before
another week ends.

BIG FIGHT
IMPENDING
Roberts and . Cronjes'
Forces may Fight a
Decisive Battle.

London, Feb. 15-4. 20 m.-The
forces Immediately at the disposal
of Lord Roberts, who has crossed
the Free State border. are placed
at $4,000 in general way. These
figures are revealed by the COM
mands mentioned in the catches
as having been added 10 ih vision
known to be at Lord Mcthuen s
disposal. Presumably Lord Rob-
erts has 10000 or 20. 900 more.
1t is now realized that the in CT
dents at Rensburg have been seen
out of all proportion. Merely
skeleton lines were maintained there
while troops were secretly and rap
idly concentrated on the Modder
river. Lord Kitchener has been
fully successful in organizing
transports, and has immense labors
in hand.
The London papers take rather
sober views of the situation, but
are greatly pleased and hopeful of
what is TO come. They have been
fed, however, on such low diet of
British successes they are cautious
and measure Developments with
considerable reserve. They fully
realize that serious fighting is yet
to come.
Lord Roberts announcements
make the minor operations in other
parts Of the field shrink.
