From Chicago He Will Go to Penn
syIvania-Story Confirmed

President John Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers, left for Chicago last mid
night, and after a few hours conference
with men interested in the miners strike,
will leave for the anthracite region of
Pennsylvania. He said his visit to Chicago
is 10 confer with w r. Russell, president
of the Illinois district of the United Mine
Workers, relative to matters pertaining
to the miners of that State. The miners
of Illinois had a hard time settling their
scale. but it is understood that no serious
dissatisfaction exists, and the conference
is not apprehensive of trouble
President MitchelTs roundabout way to
reach the anthracite field, however, is sig
nificant from the fact that he and Frank
p. Sargent, Samuel Keefe and Franklin
Macveagh held a conference in Chicago
Monday to discuss the advisability of bring
ing legal proceedings to annul the charters
of the coal-carrying railroads of Pennsyl-
vania for violations of the State Constitu-
ton, which prohibits them from engaging
in the mining business and carrying the
product over their own roads. 1t is be-
lieved that President Mitchell will hold a
final conference with Mr.. MacVeagh, who
is acting as legal adviser of the miners
in the contemplated litigation, before leav-
ing for the anthracite field. President
Mitchell would not state when the proceed
ings against the railroad companies would
begin, but il is understood that efforts will
be made 10 settle the strike before going
into the courts.
MINE WORKERS EDITORIAL.
An editorial in the United Mine Work
ers' Journal of yesterday indicates that the
United Mine Workers may not undertake
the proceedings alone. but have placed
or will place, the matter in the hands of
the attorney general of the State of Penn
sylvania. The Journal says:
These companies were chartered under
the Constitution of 1887. and as some of the
provisions of the Constitution of 1873 pro-
hibited them from engaging in coal mining
and the operation of railroads they set up
the plea of vested rights and ignored the
latter. Now they have accepted the pro-
visions of the Constitution of 1873 by ask
ing Governor Stone, OF Pennsylvania to
appoint coal and iron police under the act
of the Legislature OF 1877. That the public
may understand what a powerful legal
weapon the operators have placed I'm the
hands of the attorney general we quote the
provisions of the last Constitution. 9"
The editorial then alludes TO the sections
of the Constitution under which the miners
expect 10 make their case, which were pub
lished in Wednesdays issue OF the Journal,
and continues:
THE anthracite coal companies, by the
acceptance OF the various general and spe-

cial laws. have rendered themselves liable
TO the provisions OF the two former sec
tons, and they may be In a position TO md
out whether man born under the Consu-
tuition of 1897 is bound 10 obey a Consu-
tuition adopted at a later date
WAYNE MACVEAGH'S INTEREST.
II is understood that Wayne MacVeagh
has also been interested IN the proceedings.
Asked regarding this, Secretary Wilson
last night said: 81 cannot discuss that
with you" Wayne MacVeagh was one OF
the members Of the constitutional conven-
ton which adopted the amendment that
will be brought TO bear on the rail-
roads. and since its adoption he has con-
Quoted number of cases against various
companies for violations of its provisions.
He was attorney general in President Gar
fields Cabinet and is said TO be better &C
qualnted with the Constitution or Pennsyl-
vania than any other man. He is brother
of Franklin MacVeagh, who has been ao-
vising the miners officials in Chicago.
Concerning the call of a special conven-
ton TO decide the policy OF extending the
anthracite strike into the bituminous re-
gion President Mitchell said he did not
know how soon steps would be taken until
he reaches the East and reviews the situa-
ton.
George Purcell. member of the executive
board, left for Kentucky yesterday after
noon. His mission there is unknown other
than that he Will visit Hopkins county,
where the miners have been on strike for
nearly two years. AS conditions in other
parts of the State are not very satisfac-
tory Kentucky may be included in the big
bituminous strike should one be ordered
by the special convention. 1t is possible
that a call for the convention will not be
made until after June Z, the time set for
the miners of Virginia and West Virginia
to strike unless a settlement is reached
No settlement is looked for in these States,
but the miners are hoping that some
negotiations in the anthracite strike will
be effected that will not make the special
convention necessary. William X Wander
bilt, who is heavily interested in the rail-
to this country from England, and il is
said that he will take UP the matter and
try to effect a settlement. He was with
and it is said he came back to look after
the situation.

with view to his issuing a call for meet
ing of the executive committee of the Civic
Federation on general principles, to be held
in this city. When the meeting will be held
1 do not know, but it will be called soon,
and the strike of the miners will be dis
cussed. At the meeting number of other
matters will be taken up, including strikes
which have been settled and averted. The
members of the Federation are no longer
personally asking the presidents of the
coal-carrying roads to consent to arbitra-
ton. They are endeavoring to reach the
largest of the stockholders instead, and
through them the railroad presidents. So
far they have been fairly successful with
the stockholders. AS soon as we have a
majority of the larger stockholders with
us the meeting will be called"
CLEVELAND, O., May 29.-In connec-
ton with rumor that George w. Perkins,
of j. z. Morgan q Co, was in the city in
conference with Senator Hanna to-day, it is
said tonight that Ralph M Easley, of the
Civic Federation, was also in town last
night and to-day, but that he had left the

WILKESBARRE, Pa, May "a COM
mittee representing the engineers, firemen
and pumpmen who met last night in Scran-
ton and decided to petition the executive
officers of the United Mine Workers to
withdraw the strike order which is TO go
into effect on Monday came TO this city
this afternoon TO confer with the executive
committee, but District Presidents Nichols,
Fahy and Duffy did not come TO head
quarters to-day and the committee could
not hold conference with them. The COM
mittee was reinforced by five engineers
from the Wyoming valley. AT a late hour
tonight the committee decided to remain in
town over night i'm the hope of seeing Pres
ident Mitchell tomorrow. II now looks as

out in any large numbers ii may cause a

take that view of the matter. They still
count on a majority of the engineers, fire

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, May 29.-The New Castle
