FORTY THOUSAND ATTEND PICNIC
Mine workers President Wants to
See All Workers United in the
Labor Struggle.

Philadelphia, Sept. .. - The organ
lied workmen of Philadelphia yester-
day paid their tribute to John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Work
ers, and at the same time showed their
sympathy in substantial way for the
striking anthracite mine workers of
Pennsylvania. The presence of the
miners chief was made the occasion
of probably the greatest demonstra-
ton that organized labor mas ever held
on Labor Day" In the forenoon II
parade was held under the auspices
of the Central Labor union, in which
nearly all the trades of the city were
represented. 1t is estimated that more
than 10000 men We're in line.
Mitchell Rode at the Head.
President Mitchell rode at the head
of the procession, and his reception
along the route of the parade was en-
thusiastic. Twelve miners dressed in
their greasy OverallS and blOuSeS act
ed as an escort. After the parade Il
big picnic was held in Washington
park, on the New Jersey side of the
Delaware river, a few miles below
this city. There We're probably 10000
persons in attendance. Here Mitchell
made two addresses. His principal
speech was made in the grove. where
between 1000 and 5000 listened and
cheered the strikers leader.
What He Said of the Strike.
Mitchelrs first speech was devoted
to the strike situation and in the course
of it he said: THE struggle was not
started until we had exhausted every
conceivable conciliatory method known
to mankind. The struggle would not
have been continued-would not have
been inaUgurated-if the operators had
agreed to mediation, Cancellation or ar
bitration. To all our overtures they
turned deaf ear and the issue is now
that we must win or we must he
crushed. To win this struggle Will re-
quire the assistance of our fellow work
ers and all generous citizens of our
country. 1t is more pleasant to give
than to receive"
Has Changed His Views.
II am free to say that my own views
have been somewhat changed since
this strike started. Nearly ali well
Informed workers know that had
identified myself with every peace
movement that 1 thought would help
the workers. i am not prepared TO
say that they are failures: but they
are failures as long as employers Will
not listen to reason and to truth" He
closed with declaring that he was for
the inclusion in one union of all men
who earn their bread by the sweat of
their browS. and said: Il look forward
to the time when the workers of our
country will take possession of their
own country.
