The COAL STRIKE
MITCHELL SAYS NO SETTLEMENT

Nothing of Importance Done Toward
Ending the Trouble-No Founda-
ton for the Report That Men
Will Return to Work.

Indianapolis, Sept 15.-In an inter-
view over the long distance telephone
with the News today at Wilkesbarre,
John Mitchell said: Il can't predict
when the anthracite strike will be set
tied. If anything is being done by the
other side, don't know of it. Nothing
of Importance toward settlement was
accomplished at the Harrisburg confer
ence between Governor Stone and my
self, the presidents of the three an
thracite districts and others who have
been trying to end the strike. We
simply met and discussed the causes
and the progress of the strike. There
is no foundation for the reports that
the men are to return to work on the
promise that the operators will make
concessions and arbitrate afterwards. .

EDITORIAL.

The lawless demonstration which
occurred on the streets of Ottumwa
Saturday night is matter of regret
and is condemned by every law abid-
ing citizen. 1t was most wanton ex-
hibition of lawlessness with which the
Courier believes the strikers had moth
ing to do. Demonstrations of this kind
should be suppressed with stern
hand. 1t has been the history of all
labor troubles that acts of violence
have nearly always been perpetrated
by persons not interested in tho ones.
tion at issue and not connected
with any labor organization. Yet or
ganized labor suffers on account Of it.
Riotous demonstrations, destruction
of property and acts of VIC.
lence do more to keep capital and
labor apart than any other one thing.
1t is no channel through which the de-
sires of labor can be obtained. Or
ganized labor has thoroughly recog.
nized this fact and Knew it had
more to fear from the so-called sympa,
thizer, who has no regard for law than
from the men within its own ranks.
The scenes which We're enacted on
the streets of this city were disgrace
full. The people of ottumwa cannot
afford TO allow repetition OF them at
iany future time.
