MITCHELL REPLIES TO HEWITT.
MINERS. ORGANIZATION is NON POLITICAL
-NoN-UNIoN MEN NOT TO BE
SHUT OUT FROM WORK
fBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE ]


iBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
WiIkesbarre Penn. Aug. PA reply to the
arbitration statement of Abram s. Hewitt was
made tonight by President Mitchell after a
careful perusai of Mr. Hewitt's statement
Nr Mitchell says that he and Mr.. Hewitt had
frequently talked over the policy of the miners
organization and that it was surprising to him
that Mr. Hewitt should thus convey TO the
pubIic impressions which are not founded upon
facts or justified by any demand made by the
union.
MI Mitchell said that it plain to him that
the real purpose of the statements made by Mr.
Hewitt, and which repeated almost YER
batim by John D Crimmins. was to obscure the
real issues involved in the strike, and to divert
puhlic attention from the unfortunate condi-
tions under which men and boys have been
forced to labor in the anthracite coal fields.
The members of the miners organization.
said President Mitchell. have never sought TO
prevent non-members from working with them
in the mines and they had intention to
seeking to abridge the right of any mine worker
10 become or not to become a member or the
organization in the future The miners are on
strike for living wages, they are on strike Tor
American conditions of employment. and moth
ing Mr.. Hewitt say will prove sufficient 10
divert attention from the real issues
Mr.. Hewitt's fear that might become dlc-
tator and go into the business of naming Presl-
dents OF the united states. IS 10 say inc i'3St
amusing and were it not for the fact that
know Mr. Hewitt TO be serious man, should
conclude that he was jesting- The truth Is that
the miners union is non-political organization;
its members vote for whomever they choose, and
If / or any other officer Of the organization were
to attempt to dictate even suggest how the
miners should vote 1 should be promptly told
that the miners were abundantly able to judge
for themselves in the exercise of their sovereign
citizenship
Tonight the district presidents and secre-
taries who. for the last two days have been
here in conference with President Mitchell,
started for their homes.
President Mitchell. when asked, said:
THE conference merely for the transac-
ton of general business. and no plans for the
settlement of the strike were considered, no
suggestions were made that a proposition pe
offered the operators. that any new move OF
that nature be made

YACHTS FORCED TO STAY HOME.
SOME OWNERS DECLINE TO FILL BUNK ERs
AT THE RATE OF So A TON

The serious effect of the coal strike is beginning
to be felt keenly by the clubnen and yacht owners
along Long Island Sound. The coal supply at
Larchmont is scarce that the price has been
forced up TO Sl5 a ton, and yachtsmen glad
get that price Abram Baudoune. owner of
the Buccaneer. and Frank J. Gould. who owns the
Helenita. previous to starting cruise
ward. filled bunkers with twenty tons of COAL for
which they paid $500. Several other yachtsmen
who intended cruise Newport and Bar Har-
bor have changed their plans account of the
shortage in coal, and their yachts are anchored in
club harbors.
The lack of coal has also been felt by the New
York Athletic Club. The club out of coal on
Monday. and the superintendent. after fnstituting
q search and finding himself unable TO obtain a
supply in any of the neighboring coal yards in
New-Rochee or Pelham Manor. finally managed
TO obtain a small supply in Larehmont;
The large summer hotels at Greenwich, Rye and
other resorts also suffering from the coal fam
ine and the propretors glad TO get coal at any
price.
In Port Chester the situation has grown seri-
that the Board OF Education; whlch uses two
hundred tons of coal year, Will hold public
meeting to appeal TO the coal dealers Tor assist
ance. The dealers in Port Chester have taken the
stand that they will not sell any one customer
than ten tons of coal and unless they reent
public schools will probably be closed this winter

OUTBREAK IN PoCAHoNTAs FIELD
SHOOTING OF CHIEF OF POLICE AT
TRIBUTED TO STRIKERS.

Roanoke Va. Aug. E.-It developed to-day that
the shooting death of Chief of Police Tanning
at the little mining town of Cooper, w Va, last
night as reported in a Bluefeld dispatch, may
have been the work OF striking miners. II was
said at the general offices of the Norfolk and
Western Railway Company to-day that there has
been a sudden change in the situation in the Po-
cahontas coal fields, and that a report from one
of special agents I'm the fields to-day is to the
effect that besides the killing of the chief
of police at Coopers there were several hundred
shots fired at the operations along the Crane
Creek branch in the neighborhood of the Thomas
Coal and Coke Company's and the Crane Nest op-
eratons II is not known that any one was
wounded and IL Is believed this general shooting
was to intimdate the new men who have gone
into that territory recently to take the place of
the striking miners. Several OF the operations
along the Crane Creek branch which have been
running for some time closed down to-day.
The officials attribute this fresh outbreak the
presence of a large number OF agitators. who
have recently invaded that territory, notWith-
standing the injunctions of the federal court.
