and introduced as the first speaker
Timothy Hayes, of North Scranton, who
was in a most sanguine mood. He de-
clared the strike to be already won by
the strikers and he congra tulated them
upon their victory.
This is not time for talking" said
he, ''it is time for rejoicing. A COM
plete and signal victory is already at
our door. 1t is a time for a glorious
glorification for the great victory which
you have won."
Mr.. Hayes declared that the dawn of
new era was at hand-the beginning
of new dispensa ton of peace and
prosperity for the miners organization.
The miners, he declared, have erected
living and a lasting monument to
themselves by their sacrifices during
the past five months.
District Board Member Thomas fol-
lowed and began by cautoning the
members not to be too entirely conf
dent that the strike is near it's end.
Don't put your hands in your pockets
and say that there's no more necessity
of your laboring for the success of
your cause" he said. Keep working
just as hard as you did on the first day
he In CIT
has cleared up very much within the
last week. We know that for some
little time the amount of coal which
the companies were producing kept in
creasing daily. Now it's just the re-
verse. During the last week the amount
of coal being produced has been de-
creasing. There's a reason for this.
Perhaps you can guess it,
Mr.. Thomas referred at length to the
criticisms of President Mitchell, which
so many newspapers and individuals
are indulgng in.
SATISFIED WITH MITCHELL.
1.-The United Mine Workers." said he,
"are competent to choose their own
officers, and they choose those men who
give them satisfaction. John Mitchell
has given them satisfaction and has
their confidence. | believe firmly that
there is no other man in this broad land
who could fill his present position better
than he is filling it today"
Nice-President Adam Ryscavage was
next introduced and delivered lengthy
address in the Polish language for the
benefit of those of his nationality who
might be in the audience.
National Board Member Falon made
long address, following Mr.. Ryscav-
age. THE miners can never be induced
to go back single handed" he said.
"They will so back as an organization"
He devoted some time to an attack on
John Markle whose recent declarations
regarding alleged contract breaking on
the part of the mine workers organ
ization have provoked SO much discus
sion. He declared that 1t was enough
Markle. A son of that gentleman could
by no possible chance be "any good"
he asserted.
