Son polcemen, Mr.. Mitchell came
,ss al the invitation Of the league TO
,siress M meeting. He received about
rq which had been contributed by
wncus organizations for the benefit Of
Ne miners. Mr. Mitchell in his adj
ip@ said in part q,
Il have some doubts in my mind
whether The residents OF Philadelphia
lave cause to feel aggrleved at Mr.
R,er or 10 feel grateful to him. II Is
tn,e that the trust he represents Is
eytorting from you fabulous prices for
coal but as compensating feature he
has taken from Philadelphia the larg-
cot portion Of the criminal class thar
formerly resided here, and now has
them commissioned by the governor
Of Pennsylvania as police. Philadel-
phla criminals are now preserving the
law In The coal fields.
But did not come here for the pur-
pose Of discussing that phase Of the
question, came here to tell you some
thing about the coal strike. IL IL not
ias miners fault that the residents OF
Philadelphia are paying SIS a ton FOR
coal.
In this strike the people have passed
Judgment | am willing to say that II
2 per cent Of the American people
would not cast their votes In favor OF
ne miners II II were left TO them, l
yiuld order the strike off now.
Recently the papers. or that small
ilnber Of them friendly TO the coal
INST have been printing stories Of
hElsssness, and they say the miners
tanl 10 30 back to work. Let me say
y! you that for more than eight weeks
" militia OF Pennsylvania have sur
hllded the miners and not one single
hhker has returned to work. Yet II
rue that my people are suffering

VIA coal miners have for years lived
