kesbare Wednesday,
President Mitchell declared that his
visit to the National headquarters
was merely to look after routine of
fee matters which have accumulated
during his absence. THE situation in
the strike field remains the same"
said Mr.. Mitchell. There has been
no change and | do not anticipate any
until the trouble is finally adjusted.
The men are just as determined as
over to win and will stick 1t out as
long as necessary, so it all depends
on the action of the operators when
the strike will terminate. The finan-
cial end of the strike is being kept up
in very satisfactory manner, and we
have been able to relieve every case
of distress. There is no doubt that
we will be able to continue to do this.
1t is true that some of the miners
have left the field. When the strike
first broke out quite number of the
non-English speaking young men re-
turned to their old countries and 9th
er miners have gone to the bitumin-
GUS field and secured employment.
There has been very little migration
OF miners of late, however. l expect
that all told, about $4,000 men have
left the anthracite field since the
