FIGHT COMES UP.
Some Opposition to Mitchell De-
veIops in Convention.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 2O.-The conven-
ton decided to admit newspaper CORE
spondents TO the executive session.
1t was moved. Immediately after Mr..
Mitchell finished his speech that the reso-
buttons in his speech to declare off the
strike be adopted. This Immediately met
with the expected opposition of engineers
who say they did not oppose President
Mitchell's recommendations but wanted
very careful consideration.
President AIitchelrs speech was con-
Guided at 2:53. Mr.. Mitchells statements
in his speech favoring acceptance of the
arbitration plan did not elicit great APP
plause, but later his words, Il urge ac-
ceptance and that the strike be declared
off with the provision that all men re-
turn TO their former Positions drew out
great applause
A warm debate followed the first note
of objection to the immediate adoption
strike. In the course of this debate a
persons not delegates were present. A
hot debate occurred on this, until Presi-
dent Mitchell said:
IF you want those not delegates to
get OFT. ask them to go and not leave
yourselves. If you want to consider the
prospect of getting all your old positions
back. you can best do it here. This
proposition will not-be crammed down
your Threats. You are the men who
voted to go on this strike, and your
votes will end it. if it is ended"
A motion to adjourn without further
debate was killed by an almost unan-
imous vote. A motion was then carried
to exclude from the hall all but the
newspaper men.

New York World:

New York World:
After expressing her very natural un-
willingness to have her own temperance
ideas COMPOUNDED with those of Mrs
Carrie Nation, Lady Henry Somerset,
freshly arrived in America, parties a
leading question as to the wisdom of
the anti-canteen movement She has
not studied the case, but she quotes as
an authority the British commander-in
chief, Lord Roberts. who has declared
that temperance promoted the efficiency
of any fighting force and bettered the
service in every way
If Lady Somerset snail find it worth
her while to look into the American
Army reports of latest issue she will
discover our generals in unanimous
agreement with Lord Roberts. But she
will also find nearly all of them declaI-
ing that the canteen stood for temper
ance. while its abolition has opened wide
the way to temptation and to all evil
excuses.
AS one high in the councils of the in
ternational w c. T. u, Lady Somerset
can do no better service to her cause
than by opening her mind to the truth
of the army situation. And this truth
is that army discipline and soldierly
welfare are being sacrificed through a
new form of the old madness for an in
temperate prohibition which cannot pro-
hibit.

With Intent to Deceive.
Boston Transcript:

Boston Transcript:
The practice of the big college foot
ball teams this season, according to the
reports sent out by the various college
soondents, is such as to lead the
gullible general public to believe that
the colleges have returned to academic
affairs and that there will be no good
football this year, in the sports view
of the game. Statements are indus
triously circulated that the teams are
immature crude, unprepared, unframed.
unsea soned. shiftless and weak. But do
not be mislcd by these reports, which
are sent out from each college in the
hope of deceiving the others. BY the
time the big" teams come together in
the really important matches of the sea-
son they will be in fine trim, fully pre-
pared. trained to the hour. thoroughly
seasoned, alert and strong, ready to
battle for their lives. So far as other
coaches are concerned, these reports
from the colleges deceive nobody. 1t is
about time that the old fictions, which
are Of the discreditable and demoraliz-
ing part of the college football bust
ness, were done away with.

The Price of Beef.
Worcester Spy:

WOrcester Spy:
The secretary of agriculture again re-
peats his prophecy made some weeks
ago that decline in the price of beef
is surely coming He now says that
reports from the west show that ship
ments of corn-fed cattle have already
begun; that he IS confident they will
increase every week so that by Decem
Der l prices will fall to about their nor
NAL level. On the other hand. some
persons are less confident than Mr.. Will
son. They think that the shortage in
the Australian mutton supply will
cause an unusually heavy demand for
beef in England and will make prices
there very high thus affecting mate
rally the American meat market. Mr..
Wilson, however, is in a position that
should enable him to note conditions
very closely. and his Judgment is at
least encouraging.
