Mr. Mitchell was a busy man at the
United Mine Workers Headquarters.
today. He held numerous conferences
with organizers and others in regard to
the carrying out Of plans for continu-
ing the fight against the operators.
There is not the slightest change in
the situation in regard to a settlement
of the labor war. Neither side has ap-
preached the other. and there is moth
ing i'll view which would indicate that
anything will soon be done in that Dill
rectiou. The United Mine Workers are
still devoting most of their attention
to getting out the men, while the op-
orators are doing he best they can
with their crippled forces.
