NllkeSDdrIc, Ia ., Oct. lO.-I Tesl- dent Mitchell this morning made the statement which follows in part:
 "Appreciating the anxiety and i'm patience of the public and mine wor- kers for some authoritative statement from this office, issue this bulletin to say I was unalterably opposed to the acceptance of the settlement pro- posed by the operators, because it re- stricted the president of the United States in making selection of the men who are to determine the questions involved in the coal strike. These restrictions having been removed, and representation given to organized la Dor as we'll as to organized capital, I am now prepared to give my per sonal approval to the settlemen. of the issue involved by the commission selected by the president. I shall recommend to the district officers in the meeting today that an immedi- ate call be issued for a convention, whose authorization is necessary to declare the strike at an end. In the meantime I trust that the people of our country will be as patient as pos sible, as we are moving as rapidly as the interest of our people permit.
 "John Mitchell,
 President United Mine Workers"
