MITCHELL'S ANSWER.

The President asked Mr. Mitchell if
he had anything further to say. Mr..
Mitchell said:
The charge made by the gentlemen
that 20 murders have been committed
in the anthracite regions during the
present strike is untrue. If they will
name the men and will show that they
nave committed the murders. will re-
sign my position. That is fair propo-
sition, Mr.. President. that is a fair
people are maligned.
THE truth of the matter is, as far
as ] know. there have been several
deaths unfortunately. No one regrets
them more than / do. Three of them
were committed by the Coal and Iron
police and no one else has been charged
with them. God knows the miners dc
not escape being charged with every
thing done there.
They speak about burnings. There
were regards offered for burnings.
can bring affidavits of 100 people if
necessary that the lightning caused one
burning that they charged to us.
Mr. President. l have admitted on
more than one occasion that there has
been some lawlessness, but l will say
that large portion of It has been pro-
voked by criminals who have been
brought into the anthracite regions to
recruit the Coal and Iron police.
Il want to say. Mr.. President. that
feel keenly the attacks made upon me
and my people. but l came here with
the intention of doing nothing and say
ing nothing that would affect reconcile
ation.'
The President then asked the repre-
sentatives of the anthracite companies
whether they would accept Mr.. Mitch
ellis proposition. They answered.: mo.
in response to a further question
from the President they stated that
they would have no dealings whatever
with Mr.. Mitchell looking toward set
tlement and that they had no other
proposition to make, save what was
contained in the statement of Mr.
Baer. which in effect was that if any
man chose to resume work and had a
difficulty with his employer both should
leave the question to the judge of the
court of common pleas.
At about 3 o'clock, the conference was
brought to close without agreement.

sist and combat with every power, both
physical and mental, the avowed and
evident object and purpose OF this
United Mine Workers Association. as
exemplified in the anthracite district
of Pennsylvania, today. as taught and
defended by the officers and other ex-
ponents of its well-known and so-called
purposes and principles.
Mr. President am no enemy of organ

mote the real interests of the laboring
man and when. in accomplishing this.
law and legitimate means are pursued.
do. however. oppose the United Mine
Workers Association. because many of
its avowed purposes are absolutely at va
Rance with the spirit of our laws and in
stitutions. because its officers and MEM
bers are not content to be governed by
the same laws and like administration
thereof as other citizens of this country.

STATEMENT OF MR.. THOMAS
PRESIDENT OF THE ERIE,

Washington. Oct. 3.
No one can more fully realize the
gravity of the situation or the grave
responsibilities resting upon them than
the men Who for months have been
seeking to protect the property under
their charge as well as the lives OF
loyal employees from the attacks of mis-
guided men melted by people foreign tn
the state and to the industry we are
seeking to defend. We are doing all in
our power and with increasing success
to mine coal. Mr.. Mitchell and his
lieutenants are doing all in their power
to prevent it, We ask that such efforts
cease or. failing. that the state of
Pennsylvania and if she is unable. the
powers of the United States shall be
exerted to afford full protection to en-
ployes not only while at work but to
and from their homes, as well as to
their families: and that the reign of
terror. riots. intimidation and murder
which for months has prevailed in the
anthracite region shall cease. A record
of 20 killed. over 40 injured and with
constant and increasing destruction of
dwellings. works, machinery and rail-
roads by mob violence. with no proper
enforcement of the law or order by the
proper officials. is not the time to act
on Mr.. Mitchell's suggestion of this
morning to arbitrate with men not in
our employ. There are over II 900 loyal
employees at work in and around the
anthracite mines, and since the con-
ference has been called. threats are cur
rent in that region that such men Will
neither be permitted To work or live III
that country.
We are contending for the right of the
American citizens to work without re-
gard to creed, nationality or association.
To seek to prevent this is crime and
we cannot by implication sanction such a
course. We ask the enforcement of law
and order in the state, that We be per-
mitted to deal with our employees free
from foreign interference. convinced that
under such conditions can fully per-
form our full duty to the public. our
owners and to our employees. l fully
concur in the suggestion of Mr.. Baer.
which can be pursued in case of failure
to agree with our employees. but in many
years of such dealing it has never yet
been requisite to call in assistance to
fairly and satisfactorily deal with our
own men.

THE COUVTVS
PAST INDEBTEDNESS.

That the county owes past due
accounts-some of long standing
aggregating a considerable amount
is indicative of mismanagement OF
the county's finances. When the
current expenses of the county e1-
ceed the receipts for the year the
unpsid claims are the next year
called past indebtedness and can
not be paid from the levy of that
wear for current expenses. The
only way such claims can be paid
ia by special levy for past indebt-
edness.
We are reliably Informed
that there are approved claims
honest debts--that have
been outstanding against the
county since the administra-
ton of Supervisor Talbert, be
sides many of more recent
date. The writer presented
for payment a claim owned
by another individual that
had been outstanding for a
year and instead of receiving
the money was informed that
it would be a year or more be
fore the claim would be paid.
The owner of such a claim
has no redress he must hold
the claim or, if pressed for
money, sell it for much less
than face value, This conditl-
on of our finances reflects up
on our county. Continued neg
lect and non payment of past
due indebtedness amounts al
most to reputation,
Some one should be held
accountable for this condition
of the county's finances. It has
Ibeen laid at the door of oul
delegation by the Honorable
lP B Mayson who declare
from every stump that ou1 y
delegation was responsible fo'
the past Indebtedness of the
county. The supervisor ano
4 county commissioners woule
recommend what levy woule
be necessary, and the deleg'
ton, with the exception O
Mr. Mayson, would vote tt
:. cut it down. If the assertion
:; of Mr. Mayson be true-'th'
record sustains the charge
then it is, to use the popula
