came among us and was received as a
friend and comrade by those to whom
the bitterness of war is but a memory.

those against whom he had stood in
battle he had only friendship, and for
those who We're unfortunate, whose
misfortunes have outlasted the war

and sympa thy We send back to him
and all those who cooperate with him

MITCHELL ON STRIKE
NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED TOWARD
SETTLEMENT.
STILL HOPEFUL OF WINNING.
MINERS HAVE PLENTY OF RELIEF
FUNDS.

Gov. Stone Representing Nobody
bnt Himself, and the Harrisburg
Conference, Accomplished Nothing.
Miners VIII Not Return to Work
on Promise That Operators VIII

Afterwargs-Big Defense Fund Is
Sufficient to Relieve Distress.
indianapolis. Sept. 15.-In an inter-
view over the long distance telephone
with the News to-day, President John
Mitchell. at Wilkesbarre, said:
Il cannot predict when the anthra-
cite strike will be settled. If anything
is being done toward a settlement by
the other side, don't know of it.
Nothing towards settlement was
accomplished at the Harrisburg confer
ence between Gov. Stone of Pennsyl-
vania, the presidents of the three anth-
racite districts, myself and others who
have been trying to end the strike. We
simply met and discussed the causes
and progress of the strike"
did Gov Stone represent ]. Pier
pont Morgan or any of the anthracite
presidents?"
ST did not understand that he was
representing anyone but himself. There
is no foundation for the report that
the men are to return to work on a
promise that the operators will make
concessions and arbitrate afterward.
The miners would not return to work
under such an arrangement.
Mr.. Mitchell declared that the men
are confident of winning, and that
there has been no assertions among
the strikers.
81 am certainly very hopeful now
that the strike will be ended in our
favor" Mr.. Mitchell added.
The big defense fund that is being
collected at the national headquarters
in Indianapolis, Mr.. Mitchell said. is
proving sufficient to relieve the distress
in the region. About q, 900 miners have
leaving 10000, he explained, to be
cared for. When asked if the troops
are to be Withdrawn from the region,
Mr.. M;tche': said
mot that I know Of There is no
need of the troops, however, as the
men are orderly. They are keeping
within the law"
rs any coal being taken out of the
region?',
"A little is going out, but no new
coal is being mined. Most of the coal
now being shipped was mined before
the strike began No mines are being
started and no members of the organi-
cation are returning to work.

the subjects taken up, he said that he
could see no reason why 1t should.

that the contentious of the striking
coal miners and the operators

The elimination of the negro was ac-
complished through the passage of a
resolution adopting the report of the
subcommittee, which was appointed
at the meeting of the full committee
on Saturday, and which had considered
all contests and passed upon all Gre
dentials presented by delegates
throughout the state. When this re-

on the list of delegates from more
than one county, there were the names
of negroes when the credentials were
given to the subcommittee. for action.
Immediately following resolution to
adopt the report as a whole, there
came from several parts of the house
protests of a vehement nature. These
protests kept coming in so fast that
at one time it looked as though the
