MITCHELL WAITS.
His Future Course in Doubt-Loeal
Unions EXPRESSIONS.


Wilkesbarre, Pa. Oct. S.-Presi-
dent Mitchell OF the Miners
Union. and the three anthracite presi
dents returned to this city from
Buffalo early this morning. The
chief of the miners had nothing to
say regarding yesterdays trip and
also declined to discuss President
Roosevelt's proposition for the ending
of the strike. He will not even indi-
cate when he will give his answer to
the president but II is not probable
he will do so until after he has re-
ceiyed reports of all the local unions
which will meet today in accordance
with his instructions and take action
on the question of whether their mem
bers desire to remain on strike,
Several of the locals met yesterday
and last night All of them voted to
stay out and it is predicted that when
the complete returns are in it will be
found that the vote 10 continue the
strike will be nearly unanimous.
Under the instructions from Mr.
Mitchell the result of the meetings,
which are called for o'clock this af-
ternoon, must be telegraphed imme-
diately after the adjournment of the
gatherings.
When Mr.. Mitchell was asked today
if he thought any men would return
to work after the entire national
guard OF the state had been placed on
duty in the coal belt he said
''The best answer to that question
will be the action of the local unions
today"
The mail matter received at strike
headquarters is increasing as the
thermometer goes down. Probably
the largest mail since the strike was
inaugurated was received today
Scores Of letters are from eccentric
persons giving advice as to what to
do and many are received from per
sons who want the strike ended SO
that they can get coal. One postal
card reached headquarters from Cana
da on which was written, please take
the advice in third chapter, 14tt
verse, st. Lukes gospel and let us
have some coal"
A Sabbath-like stiffness reignet
