And aprOpos of his own children, Mr..

and a tremOr of the voice which be-
spoke deeper feeling than he had hith-

Of saving the children from drudgeFS.
In these troublous times he sees very

life holds no room for aught but strike.
Under happier conditions he likes TO

His eyes returned to the tunnel up

recognize it, but evidently they don't
look at it in that way"
In refusing to arbitrate. do you
think they have any motive that the
public does not know abOut?"
mo. none that I can think Of"
Mr.. Mitchell answered all these ques-
tions slowly, with the air Of a man
walking on eggs, and 1 think he was
oppressed with a sense of the damage
he might do his cause by rash or
Incorporate expression. Perhaps that
is why the emotional part Of him is so
severely repressed.
do you think it would be better for
the miners If the national government
ran the mines?" l asked.
More silence, enthusiastically
II don't know. IL don't think-I-
well. l suppose many miners would
like it, because wages would be higher,
and everybody likes to work for the
government, but-but-I-nO, don't

1T is not much for a large family, "
confessed Mr.. Mitchell guardedly;
"and large families are the rule among
miners. Cleanliness also is the rule in
their houses. I don't know any poor
homes so neat and so well kept on
so little money as those OF the min

For instance, when we organized an

urally."
1t was a matter OF fact explanation,
uttered with neither hesitation nor
vanity. a bellboy approached with
telegram. Mr.. Mitchell took it, but did
not open il. During the remainder OF
our conversation he held il between
the fingers OF his right hand, which
rested on his knee. The other arm
hung over the back OF his chair. he
neither postured nor gesticulated. His
voice was low and even-perhaps a lit
tie tired. His eyes met mine with in
different frankness. neither avoiding
nor challenging observation. Quite the
most bah1ing personality 1 had ever
