President Mitchell has given out the
following statement:
Reports received at this office show
that so per cent of the mine workers of
the Lehgh region are on strike. Large
numbers are joining the ranks of the
strikers daily. All who have gone on
strike have remained out, and, from their
own expressions. they are determined ia
win. Many of the coal companies have
run their breakers, trying to create tho
impression that the men were ut work,
but they We're running empty cars in
stead of full ones.
"teports from every mining town are
highly satisfactory. The men are peace.
able and law abiding.
The latest report from the lower an
thracte region shows that the mines at
AIahanoy City and Shenandoah and in
the vicinity Of these two places are com
pletcly tied up. They have lately Joined
the strikers ranks. We expect to verify
the prediction that every anthracite
miner would cease work. Reports from
Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys show
100 per cent of men on strike and de.
tcrnined TO vim
Mr.. Mitchell includes in his statement
