Big Time Expected on Oct. 29-Men Who
Will Not Get Work.
Reports from the small towns In the
outlying regions are to the effect that
celebrations of all kinds were held last
night. Some of the larger towns cele-
brated the ending Of the strike today.
The greatest celebration, however, will
be reserved for Oct %, John Mitchell
day. That day will mark the second
anniversary Of the ending Of the big
strike In 1900, when the men won a
10 per cent. increase. The end was
celebrated last night with greater en-
thusiasm than elsewhere, at Shenan-
doah and Mahanoy City
Philadelphia will have to import Ia
borers, skilled and otherwise, to take
the places of the miners who have
been employed there during the strike,
and who have now come back to the
coal field.
A few engineers. firemen, pump rum
not directly engaged In mining coal
have already applied to the superin-
tendents of collieries in this region for
reinstatement, but were refused. The
superintendent in most cases informed
the men that they will retain their
present employees.
A dispatch from Scranton says: "The
belief here is that the non-union men
who have been working during the
strike will be rather diminutiveQuan-
tity tomorrow morning. Already thost
of them who were brought here from
other places are returning to their
homes in large numbers. Superin-
tendent Rose, Of the Delaware and
Hudson company. said that he thought
there would be places for all of the old
employees. A few, he said, who have
been leading assaults on the company's
property and employees will not be
taken back under any consideration"

full Incidents.
The fire was q terribly hot one, and
the brands were carried by the south
erly wind more than a mile north Of
the buildings burning. AT that dis
tance there was a rain of sparks and
some brands nearly as big as a mans
fist As soon as it broke out the men
employed in the three lower floors Of
the drying house ran for the doors and
windows, and all Of them succeeded
in reaching the open air. On the third
floor there was one man at work. He
was cut off from the fireescape and
was compelled to make run for his
life down the strairs. He burst
through mass of flame when he
reached the lower door, and was badly
scOrched.
The men on the seventh floor had no
chance whatever for their lives. Sew
eral of them left the windows and
crawled along the sills IN an effort to
reach a place of safety, but with the
exception of two all those who at
tempted to reach safety in this way
made up their minds that it was cer
tain death, and went back into the
burning building. The two men, how
ever, remained to take their chance Of
a leap, and climbing up on the win
dow ledge they spranS into the air.
One of them came straight down for
the greater part Of the way, but just
as he was within a short distance Of
the pavement his body swung around
and he struck the stone walk at full
length. The other man turned over
and over as he came down
Frank Rothenberg, foreman work
ing on the fifth floor Of the drying
house, met his death inmaking jump
for a net held by the firemen under
meath the window where he stood. He
was compelled to leap far out, in order
to clear some obstructions on the side
of the building, and missed the net by
a yard. The firemen, seeing that he
would not make the net, made every
effort to catch him, but failed. His
skull was crushed and he died instant
ly. Joseph Butkost, who ESCAPED with
his life, but is badly burned and
bruised, had better fortune in striking
the net when he leaped from another
part of the fifth floor. He hit 1t square
iy, but being a heavy man he went
through and struck the ground. He
was rushed to the. county hospital,
where IL was said he might recover.

INCIDENTS OF THE GATHERING
Press Permitted to Stay at the Executive
Session.

Session.
The surprise of the convention was
the decision to admit newspaper men
to all the sessions, open or executive
Twice the newspaper men got the per.
mission by big majorities. First, on a
petition from them asking to be al
lowed to remain a motion to grant the
request was carried, and later, when a
motion to reconsider the first vote to
admit was rejected. The pleas which
won were that the reporters represent
ed the people, that public opinion had
helped the strikers and that the best
way to get an accurate report Of this
convention was to let the press repre-
sentatives stay there on the spot Mitch
ell, however, asked the press men to
omit names when stating any motions
made or action taken, as the publica-
ton thereof might interfere with a
man getting work
A delegate from the Wyoming val
ley caused u storm Of enthusiasm by
singing song entitled, ''Give Three
Cheers for Mitchell. for the Strike That
We Have Won" Songs and short
speeches by other delegates followed,
and the striking mine workers for the
time being seemed to have forgotten
their troubles
While the debate on admitting the
press was proceeding rush was
heard In the upper gallery. Some one
had burst open the door from the out
side and the theater was soon filled
with almost as many men who were
not delegates as there We're delegates
They were allowed to stay until ex-
ecutjve business came up, and then all
who did not have credentials, except
the reporters, were elected.
While the gathering was debating
the apprehensions of the engineers that
they would lose their jobs it was ar
gued by one delegate that the call
ing out of the engineers, firemen and
pumpmen was a mistake, but as good
union men they obeyed. He wanted
the union to stand by those men now
and not turn it's back on them. An
other delegate from the southern dis
trict declared that the organization
should not send the men back to work
until all Of them were assured work.
If we are going to die" he declared.
let us all die together" Another said
that the positions for miners and mine
laborers are numerous enough to give
nearly all of the men employment,
but those for engineers. fremen and
pump runners are not so numerous.
After Mitchell's third speech the del
egates again took up the debate, and
the views expressed were varied. One
was willing to leave the whole mat
ter in the hands Of President Roose-
velt's commission, and another said.
IF 1 can't ger my job 1 can look for
another one. therefore let US 60 to
work and give the American people
some COAL" The sentiment of the last
speaker was loudly applauded.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct 21. - The
anxiously awaited convention Of the
$4,000 striking miners met yesterday,
but did not reach a vote on the pro-
posed plan Of settlement 1t Is ex-
pected to do so today. There were
662 delegates present in the Nesbitt
theater, where the convention was held,
and they were empowered by their
local unions to cast S87 votes for or
against President Roosevelt's proposed
plan Of arbitration. The great ma.
jority Of the delegates were uninstruct-
ed, the few who were instructed be-
ing engineers, firemen and pumpmen
who fear that the 5000 strikers OF
those classes may not get back their
old places, now held by non-union men.
This question of the engineers, firemen
and pumpmen proved the only STUN
bling block in the way of almost i'm
mediate adoption of the peace prx
posal.
Not Looking for Fifteen Nay Votes.
At one time yesterday 1T seemed GER
tain that the convention was about to
adopt the recommendation of President
Mitchell to end the strike, but the
steam mems plea was too earnest, and
the final vote went over. The leaders

allowed to give full expression to their
feelings. One of the high district Of
ticers said yesterday there would not
be more than fifteen votes recorded
against the plan to resume work.
Net Results the First Day.
There were two sessions-forenooh
and afternoOn-yesterday, and the net
result as regards the progress of the
convention toward Its great object was
a permanent organization, with Mitch
ell in the chair, and his speeches lay
ing the presidents plan before the del.
egates and advocating it's adoption.
and the appointment Of committee
on resolutions. This committee, as
Mitchell said to the delegates, would
prepare formal statement to the pub
lie. telling fully and carefully why the
convention decided to continue the
strike, If 1t should so decide, and why
the strike was declared of. If that was
the outcome Of their deliberations. The
question before convention when it ad-
journed for the day was on the adop-
ton of the resolution to call off the
strike and leave all questions to the

Chicago, Oct. %. - Six men are
known to have lost their lives in a fire
which last night partly destroyed the
plant of the Chicago branch of the
Glucose Sugar Refining company, sit
uated at Taylor street and the Chicago
river. The list of dead will certainly
be much greater than six, and may
reach as high as thirty The esti-
mates run all the way from that num-
Der down to ten Only one of the six
men whose bodies have been recov-
cred has been identified.
Men Known To BE Dead.
The list Is as follows: Dead-Frank
Rothenberg foreman and an unidenti-
fed man, leapt from fifth story; uniden,
titled man, small in stature killed by
jumping from building; Frank Law
renee, electrician, was In the building
and cannot be found; unidentified man,
jumped from window; unidentified
man, head crushed.
Injured Frank Moore, hands
burned; John Tucker, lip fractured;
faul ButkOS, DaQly burned, severe In
ternal injuries; Paul Kauris, face and
hands burned: Gregos Gretalski badly
bruised; Paul Krukrie, bruised and
lungs scorched.
Explosion Starts the Blaze.
The fire broke out with an explo-
sion in the drying house, which Is
seven stories in height and stands close
to the main building of the plant,
which is fourteen stories high. A thiro
structure is four stories high. The two
smaller buildings were completely de-
stroyed. and the larger building was
badly damaged. The fire spread aft
er the explosion with such rapidity
that 1t was impossible for the men
in the upper stories of the drying
house to make their escape, and it is
the number of men believed to have
been at work on the seventh floor that
causes the uncertainty in the list of
dead
