A COAL BARON'S VIEW
President Mitchell's Record Is
Shown Up,

New York, Sept. 11.-John Markle, the
mead Of the firm Of c. B. Markle & Co.,
the largest of the Individual coal opera
tors in the anthracite field. to-day made
a statement respecting the proposed arb-
tration between the employers and en-
ployes.
There will be no arbitration" said Mr..
Markle, and no settlement of the coal
strike III any way. We have not forgot
ten our experiences on a former OCCASION
There had been in existence from 1885 an
agreement with the men in our employ
providing for the settlement, in an am
1cable way, of all differences that arose by
arbitration. This was the result Of a local
strike lasting three months in 1885. In
1887, notwithstanding the existence of this
contract for arbitration, the men deliber-
ately broke their agreement and went on
strike, which lasted six months. Yet we
re-estabished the arbitration agreement
after it was over and went on.
In 1897 there was a widespread strike
In the Lehigh region, but our men stool
by their agreement and never lost a days
work. In 1900 John Mitchell appeared and
began campaign on our property Our
employees presented a list of grievances.
and L replied to them, and suggested that
II our answers were not satisfactory, they
could demand arbitration under the exist
ing agreement.
Mr. Mitchell distinctly opposed any ar
cere. Father Phillips, welI-known priest
Of Hazleton, of his own voliton, urged
the men to abide by their compact. and
suggested Archbishop Ryan Of Philadel-
phia as the third arbitrator. Mr.. Mitchell
opposed all Of this, saying that it was a
bluff. A meeting Of our employees was
held, to which Mitchell came unsolicited
and made a speech. He asked me public
ly if I would abide by the arbitrators YER
dict, and when said we would, he turned
to the audience and pleaded with them.
nevertheless, to go upon a strike. Father
Phillips and ! followed him. urging the
men to stand by their agreement for arbi-
tration, and the men refused to follow
Mitchels lead.
Then came a round of threats, inti1ni-
dalton and violence. Almost daily riot
ing parties Of several hundred men ap-
peared upon our property, led by Mitch
ellis lieutenants, in the vain effort to com
pei our men to break their agreement. They
began a reign of terror, which finally re-
suited in the employees breaking their COM
pact and throwing the projected arbitra-
ton to the winds.
Marcus A. Hanna came into the dis.
rute and secured some concessions. Tho
strike ended and 1t was heralded as 6
triumph for Mitchell. Work was resumed
under these conditions on Oct. 20, 1900
The result has been the establishment o.
every kind Of trades union in the Goa
district. From that time there have beer
innumerable strikes. Mitchell has become
all ordinary and usual means of discipline
are practically disregarded.
with this history before us, am SUR
no reasonable man will ask us to engag
In any arbitration with Mr.. Mitchell o
his immediate followers

HOW TO CELEBRATE
MANY BUY PICTURES HI
The Question at the Chamber Of
Commerce Regarding Opening
"a .- TX
of New Building.
A Great Banquet Is the Suggestion
Of Some Others Prefer
~';:. r',%T a Ball.

AS, the new Chamber Of Commerce
building nears completion there Is a re-
viyal OF interest, in the matter of the
proper form Of dedication. The opening
of the new chamber will mark an event
in the mercial progress Of Minneap-
oils, overshadowing in its Importance
anything that has occurred in years.
From this event the future historian will
date the beginning of that growth, which
continuing for few years more, will
make Minneapolis in every respect the
greatest grain trade center in the world.
Not only among members Of the
chamber, but among business men of
every class in the city there is the feeling
that the opening should be marked by
some form Of ceremony BETTING the i'm
portance Of the ocasion. ~
When the building was first enclosed
this question came up, but it has taken
almost a year to complete the interior Of
the great ten-story pile, nor will it be
entirely finished for at least scix weeks.
Meanwhile the question of how to cele-
brate the occupation Of the building was
allowed to drop. The moving In of the
firms this week, however, has reminded
the trade that there was a new chamber
almost ready for general occupancy. e..
Ia The Banquet Idea.
Many Of the older and more wealthy
members are inclined to favor a grand
banquet. To this could be invited men
eminent in political life, the leading finan-
ciers and business men Of Minneapolis
and St. Paul, the governors of adjoining
states, officers and members of the New
York, Chicago and other exchanges, and
the noted northwestern pioneers still
living. The secretary Of agriculture would
be the guest of honor Leading men Of
the Canadian northwest might be includ-
ed in the list of guests. Such a banquet
could be carried through with great eclat.
The objection to this would be in the
magnitude Of the Undertaking and the
difficulty Of providing for banquet on a
scale which, with invited guests and the
members of the chamber, would mean at
least thousand covers.
The younger element is more inclined
to have the opening a local affair, some-
thing in the form of a reception and ball.
The new exchange room would make one
Of the finest of ball rooms and probably
800 couples could dance at once without
taxing the capacity. While q banquet
would necessarily be in sense exclusive,
ball would enable all members to bring
their wives and friends and so afford op-
portunity for all to share in the general
good time. i - .>'' e.
