END a lone WAY OFF

W~ilkesbarre. Pa. October Sunless
President Mitchells hurried visit 20
New York bears fruit. the end of tn.
mine workers strike seems a Iong way
off and the prospect Of sufficient Goa,
being mined to satisfy the public de-
mand. is extremely poor. Every local
union of the miners organization,
throughout the hard coal belt, held spe-
cial meetings, either last night or to-
day and resolved to remain on strike
until mine owners grant them some
concession. And while the reports of
these meetings came pouring into
W~ilkesbarre. President Mitchell die
tated a letter To the president OF the
United States in which he gave his
answer to the proposition that the
strikers return 10 work and trust to
nave their condition improved through
an investigating committee. What the
answer of the miners chief is, he re-
FUSED to divulge, but it is difficult to
conceive that with the replies of the
local unions piled around him, he
could do otherwise han respectfully de-
cine n presidents proposition. Mr..
Mitchell sent his letter to Washington
before he had heard from all the locals
and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, ac-
companied by the three district presl-
dents. left for New York.
1t was a busy day for the miners
officials about headquarters. From ear
ly morning until late tonight the re-
turns came in constantly. This eve
ming, the corps of newspaper CORE
spondents stationed here, were invited
to Xanin the reports and not one was
found that was not couched in a firm
language. Briefly stated, the resolu-
tons in these reports affirm the con-
fdence Of the men in the integrity and
judgment of their president, praise
President Roosevelt for his efforts to
end the strike: denounce the presi-
dents of the coal carrying roads foI
their alleged abuse of the chief execu-
tive at the conference in Washington.
~denOunce the employment of the coal
and iron police; thank all organizations
and citizens throughout the country
for the financial assistance given, and
denounce Governor Stone for sending
troops here.
Nearly all the resolutions contained
a sentence to the effect that the men
will remain out though all the troops
in the United States were sent here"
until they are granted some cOnceS-
sions. Additional troops for this reg
ion have not yet arrived, but the GEN.
eral strike situation remain I'M
changed. There is no increase in the
shipment of coal, very little of which
is being produced. No violence was re-
ported today.
