WILL GIVE PROTECTION.
Soldiers to Protect All Miners Who
Wish to Go to Work,

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 29.-Some
of the local coal operators, after being
shown a copy of the statement issued
by President Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers, say it will probably
be the last he will give to the public
before the ending of the strike They
assert that his appeal is made up of
generalities and that he endeavors to
win public sympathy by making plea
for child labor. One operator said the
condition of child labor in the coal
region Is much better than 1t is in the
manufacturing districts of the country.
that the wages paid are better and the
headquarters Mr.. Mitchells latest de-
liverance is termed "a ten STRIKE"
and the facts and figures he presents,
irrefutable.
The military authorities, Sheriff
Jacobs and some of the superintend-
ents of the coal companies in this
vicinity held a meeting in the Office
of one of the coal companies and talk
ed over plan by which the troops can
be moved promptly to scenes of dis
turbance.
1t is not the purpose of the military
to do police duty, but if any of the
companies can get men to go to work
the soldiers will give them protection.
It is reported again that attempts will
be made this week to resume work at
several collieries in this region, which
have been idle since the strike began,
but the report cannot be verified.
At strike headquarters it was as
serted that there will be no change in
the situation the coming week, which
is the twenty-first of the strike, that
the strikers are as firm as ever and
that there will be no desertions from
the ranks to make it possible for the
coal companies to start up any new
collieries.
The Ninth regiment went into camp
at West Side Park during the day in
