leWn something OF what the United
Mine Workers intended to do for them,
Mr. Mitchell asked what the organiza-
tiCn had done in the past, and by way
% illustration pointed out that il made
the homes of the miners happier: it
nadt the miners freer and moro inde-
pendent. Furthermore, the organiza-
tion was here TO stay. It was said by
our opponents, after the close of the
recent strike, that with the wearing off
% the enthusiasm of that time the
United Mine Workers would cease;
trey would forget their obligations;
they would die and pass out of sight.
But if the demonstrations which we
saw today, if those that | have been
witnessing are any criterion by which
To judge of the life of the United Mine
Workers, then they are far from death,
ana give promise of living forever.
This is not a religious, a temperance
nor a political organizat ton Mr.. Nit
chell continued. 1t is a trades union
pure and simple and aimed To reach
all that is highest and noblest in man
kind; ii teaches its men to be honest
and TO keep contracts which they may
make; IT asks it's members 10 send to
school the children where they belong
and not in the breaker.
Talk About Dividends.
The United Mine Workers, he said.
have paid greater dividends than the
standard OIL company; it brings great
er roturns ,hdn the Morgan banking
houses. The $1,000 that were spent last
year mSl"ased the earnings of miners
by S',OOO,O0O, The miners didn't loose
single days work last year by rea-
son OF strikes, Notwithstanding the
newspaper statements that the men
suffered the loss of 80 days. 1t isn't
true that hey lost these DAYS, for they
worked as inany days as the year be-
fore, The miners can't lose one day
through idlen'sS, not so long as their

sumers use something else for fuel.
In the soft coal regions there was not

The MASS MEETING

Large Crowds Gather to Listen
to President John Mitchell.
Rain Interferes.

The Fates, or anybody or any old

to say the least, to the labor men

day afternoon to the number of about
700 to listen to President John Mitch

"dother' Jones and the other speak
cts who were to participate in the af-
ernHon's programme, devised to put
the finishing touches to the Labor day
celebration. In the midst of Mr.. Mitch
ellis address the rain which had been
threatening for some time TO disturb
matters began to fall. 1t continued to
drop, bigger drops following the big
ones until the spectators were being
treated to a free shower bath. Mr..
Mitchell was willing to stick it out, for
the shower promised to he short lived.
and the multitude was more willing and
il loud chorus shouted it's Willingness
to defy the brave to hear him, but the

could not make himself heard and had
to give way to the superior force of the
elcr cnts. This Mr.. Mitchell regretted
exceedingly, since he Mad Just entered
into the discussion of the eight-hour
day proposition for mine workers and
was anxious to discuss the subject.
The Opening.
President John Walsh. Of the Gem
t:"l Labor union. was the chairman.
lie presented Mayor Fitzpatrick. who
welcomed the visiting miners and ex-
tohded to them the freedom of the
city
Edward Mckay, of McKeesport. of
the national board of Mine Workers.
President Nichols. of District No. /, and
Paul Pulaski. vice president of the
Ninth district of the United Mine
Workers, preceded Mr.. Mitchell. The
burden of the talks was the encourage
inont of the members of the union,
and counseling them to continue the
spirit and good behavior displayed
Since the spring agreement with the
coal operators, which would, they de-
Cldrcd, be a big factor in bringing
about what was aimed at by the organ
iaaton, the conference with the oper-
ators chief among these.
Mr.. Mitchell Speaks.
Mr. Mitchell, in opening his address,
discussed the procession of the day,
and said it bespoke the harmony that
must exist between the working people,
the labor unions and the merchants
and men following commercial pur-
suits. incidentally he said that he
knew of no place. besides Carbonate,
V mere there We're less palaces and less
hCNels than Carbondale. also where
there was a more equal division of
wealth This Is a good indication. for
the wealth of place is not to be judged
by the number of milionaires. but by
the number Of homes Of toilers.
What Mine Workers Have Done.

gathering of Workmen, which was to
