49, TO FIGHT 1T OUT.
Miners Vote 10 Continue the strug.
gle TO the Bitter End.

Hazleton, Pa, May 1.-THE anthra.
cite mir eworkers in convention late
yesterday afternoon decided 10 con-
tinue the strike of the $4,000 mer
against the mine owners and TO fight II
out 10 the bitter end. The matter OF
| calling out the engineers, firemen and
pump runners will be decided by the
| delegates to-day. The vote TO continue
/ the suspension was as follows: Total
vote cast, Sill; for strike, 46l Ia;
against strike. $40 ga majority for
strike, II 1-2. The step taken yesterday
by the nniners after practically con-
sidering the matter for two months has
| wiped out the uncertainty Of the situa'
ton, and It is freely predicted that the
most serious labor struggle in the his
tory Of the country, IL not the world, is
about to begin. That is the view taken
by nearly every miner. While the lead
ers are cautious and will not forecast
their actions. it is not unlikely that
The Miners Fight
will be carried into the bituminous coal
regions and into other fields of indus
try. Nineworkers for eighteen months
have been looking forward 10 the strike
that is now upon them. They have
saved their money and are considered
10 be in better shape for fight than
they were in the great strike Of 1900.
That struggle ended in the mine own
ers giving the men a 10 per cent ad-
vance after a six weeks suspension.
The operators are on record as being
uralterably opposed TO granting the
men any concessions. and they have
personally informed the mineworkers'
leaders of that fact. The workmen fea-
that the present fight may mean the
destruction Of their organization, be-
cause they believe the mine owners are
bent more on wreckiTg their union than
they are in opposing the demands for
higher wages and shorter work days.
Mitchell Advised Peace.
President Mitchelrs advice to the
miners was peace, and he gave it to
them In the plaineyt and most forceful
of language. II Is said that a telegram
was read from the American Fedora
ton OF Labor against a permanent sus- /
pension. But the delegates would not |
listen, and amid considerable sup /
pressed excitement the vote was "a zen. !
The result was received by the con- |
vention with applause, which, how |
ever. was not very enthusiastic or pro- !
longed. The mon appreciated the seri-
BUSINESS of their decision, which no
doubt dampeneI their ardor.
While the people Of the coal fields are
glad that the suspense and uncertainty .
ocCasioned by the long delays in reach
ing a conclusion OF the strike question f.
are over, the news of the conventions
action has caused considerable depres-
sion Business has been paralyzed 10 a
certain extent, and 1t will probably
come to almost a .itandstill.
