fBY TELEGRAPH TRIBUSE.l
Wilkesbarre, Penn Aug. 1.-President Mitch
ell left this city to address a mass meeting OF
strikers in West Scranton this afternoon. He
refused to discuss the injunction granted by
Judge Keller in West Virginia against him and
other mine officials, but said that he would issue
g statement when he had read the full text Of
the opinion.
Mr.. Mitchell to-day gave out an answer to the
open letter sent him by the Citizens Alliance.
In it he denies the right of the Citizens Alliance
to call on him tc declare himself specifically
against disorder. the ground that he is an
American citizen, and believes in obeying all
the laws, and that all his speeches and state
ments show that he Is opposed to disorder. He
questions the honesty of the Citizens Alliance,
and intinlates that its real purpose is to destroy
the miners union and render futile the work
mems efforts TO obtain higher wages and better
conditions Of employment. He alludes TO the
fact that large rewards are offered by the Alli-
ance for breaches of the peace, and asserts that
they all made in the interest of the mine
operators. He asks why rewards were Of
fered in several cases, which he names, where
strikers We're shot.
He concludes by saying that there have been
some transgressionS Of the law by members of
the miners union, but that there has been less
lawlessneSs On the part of the miners than on
the part of the coal and iron policemen.
