MiTcHELL's STATEMENT.
Asks Expression of Strikers to Refute
Charges Of Lawlessness.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, Oct. THE confer
trict presidents continued until IL:
p. m., and at 1870 o'clock, five minutes
before the national president left for
Buffalo, he gave to the press the fol-
lowing statement, which was hurriedly
prepared after he returned from Phila-
delphia last night:
'Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct 6.-To Dis
trict Secretaries and All Mine Workers
in the Anthracite Field-You have, no
doubt, read in the daily papers the pro-
ceedings of the conference at the White
House last Friday in which your Off
GERS proposed an immediate resumption
of work if the operations would agree
with you to refer the question at issue
in the strike to the decision of the
President OF the United States and q
tribunal named by him. You have
noted the reply of the president of the
coal carrying railroads, in which they
Responded to our overtures by denounc-
ing the union, its members and officers
in the most vehement and malicious
manner possible. They also declared
that q large majority of the strikers
;
protection, and they demanded that the
President send United States troops to
the coal fields.
In order to demonstrate to the
people of our country that the state
ments OF the operators are unfounded
and that the mine workers are law
abiding citizens. the officers of all 10
cal unions should call mass meetings
of all men on strike, union and non
union, such meetings to be held in
each mining town at O'Clock Wednes-
day afternoon, October Sth. We know
that the mine workers are not re-
strained from going to work by fear OF
bodily harm, and if this is the senti-
ment prevailing at the meeting, resolu-
tions should be adopted emphatically
declaring the statements of the opera
tors to be untrue.
I'VE also advise that acts of lawless-
ness by the coal and iron police and by
strikers be denounced and the services
of members of the union rendered to
the local authorities to preserve law
and order.
Great care should be exercised that
those on coal strike do not permit
themselves to be provoked by the coal
and iron police into the commission of
overt acts Inc operators, laiilHS "
break the strike and deprive you of
your well-earned victory, are now at
tempting TO array public sentiment
against you by making false claims
that a reign of terror exists in the coal
fields. Be steadfast and true while
this struggle for living wages and
American conditions of employment is
going on. and we have no hesitancy in
saying that victory will be achieved in
the near future. The heart of the Ma
ton beats in sympathy with you and
all good citizens favor your cause
DO not fail to have resolutions
drafted in plain. temperate language
and telegraph them at our expense to
President Mitchell's headquarters inn
mediately on the adjournment OF
meetings

The resolution embodying this proposition

prevent longer terms when the consent of

not directly intended. will be to sever the

desirable to do so. The movement is an

A Good Showing.

The last issue of The Christian Observ-
err pays the First Presbyterian Church
of Selma, a great compliment. 1t shows
that this church contributed during the
past year the sum of $2932 to the cause
of Foreign Missions, an average of S6,l2
per member. which is more than any
other church in the Presbyterian Cen
eral Assembly contributed. This Is &
splendid showing for this church and one
In which the members can well take a
pride. The First Church of Selma is one
of the strongest churches in the South
ern Presbyterian Church. one in Nash
vile and another in Louisville and per-
haps one in Richmond being stronger
than this.

Negro Thieves Captured.

Chiel Walters made fine catch this
afternoon. For some time past Southern
trains near Selma have been robbed. but
no clue could be found as to who the
robbers were.
Yesterday two negroes. Jim Feagan and
Oliver O'Neill brought five bolts of goods
to town and offered them to a Washing
ton Street merchant at ridiculously low
prices. He told them to come back next
morning for their nav. and when they
came Chief Walters took them in charge.
Che of the negroas weakened and told
how they had been rObbing Southern
freight trains.
Thew would go to Burnsville. board a
freight and when opposite the Eskridge
place. three miles from town, throw off
the freight.
The police went to the home of these
negroes and recovered about $500 worth
of dry goods, shoes and soap that had
been stolen from the Southern. These
thieves have been annoying the Southern
for some time.
