MISS MEREDITH's STATEMENT

Some of These Days.

Says Justice Will BE Done to All Parties
Some of These Days.
Miss MOllie Meredith, who made the
charges against the mine workers Off
GERS, gave out the following signed
statement last night: ''One year ago
the United Mine Workers of America
awarded me medal. / received this
after almost five years of efficient SER
vice; at least the organization thought
which | now wear. 1t Is rather
strange that after my years of SER
vice, in which | demonstrated my abil-
ity to discern right from wrong and
had the courage to expose wrong when
it came under my observation, even
when that wrong was committed by
one who had been my friend-that in
less than two weeks after the medal
was presented to me the inefficiency
that had been unObserved for five
years and | might say until discov-
cred dishonesty in others my deficiency
was not Observed by any officer of the
United Mine Workers should sudden
ly be discovered.
when the United Mine Workers of
America presented me with a mark of
esteem and appreciation for my SER
vices felt that | was in duty bound
to tell them anything and everything
that knew as to the workings of the
office i'm which | was Il subordinate.
Zeal sometimes oyercOmes discretion,
and if my zeal TO show my apprecia-
ton for what the organization had
done for me has led me to do anything
that calls for condemnation ii was be-
cause | knew | was right, and did not
realize that the power of weak wO-
man was not sufficient TO contend with
those whom accident has placed in the
position as officials.
However. they and are living, and
some day when enthusiasm gives way
to common sense justice Will he done
to them and me. and do not fear the
result. MOLLIE MEREDITH

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Attorneys Edwy
Logan Reeves and Samuel w. Pack
ard, counsel for the lltlgants in the

Tuley in his chambers TO settle the
question regarding the admission of
the amended bill of complaint as pre-.

of the wish expressed by Judge Tuley
the attorneys have agreed on the
wording of the bill, which practical
ly eliminates all charges of fraud and
confines the allegations to the evil
dence given during the trial.

The world has always believed in

peaceable, and beyond frightening peo-
pie occasionally, they have done little

humanity have come from the smallest
forms of life. The minute microbe has
slain its millions upon millions. If this

so DECLARE THE INVESTIGATORS
Who Also Express Confidence in the
National Ofiicers-Summary of
the Business Done.

Indianapolis, Jan. 24.-Ine miners
committee yesterday eXonerated Presi-
dent Mitchell and Secretafy-Treasurer
Wilson and said the statements OF Miss
Meredith do irreparable damage to the
the committee finds that there is no
foundation in fact for the charges pre-
ferred by Miss Meredith" that 1--WE
believe and know that the national Of
ficers and our organization did all that
honorable men should do to protect our
organization and its funds at the time
Mr.. Pearce was removed from Office"
that I'VE, have every confidence in the
honesty, integrity and faithfulness of
our officers" and finally that This
convention, by rising vote indorses
in every particular the action of it's
officers in the Pearce matter" The
report was unanimously adopted amid
loud cries for Mitchell who took the
front of the platform and thanked the
convention for this evidence of con-
tinued confidence in me-"
Men Talk Behind His Back.
He closed with the remark that 81
never knew a man or Il body of men
that | feared to face. | know men
talk behind my back. For those who
do this l have nothing but the most
supreme contempt" AT the close of
his speech the cheering was almost
deafening and continued for minute
or two. Then there were calls for
Secretary Wilson. He responded
briefly, thanking the delegates for
their expression of confidence. There
We're renewed cheers.
Business Notes of the Convention.
The report on this important subject
cleared the way for general business.
An attempt by foreign speaking dele
gates to have part of the Mine Work
ers' Journal printed in foreign Ian
guage was voted down emphatically.
A debate on a move to eternally debar
from membership in the u. Nj. w. any
one who has guarded works where
non-union men were employed brought
out burning denunciation of guards
who do such work Ben Tillett, the
British delegate, made a brief address
in taking his leave of the convention
to return to England. A fund for the
help of miners over 30 years of age
was voted down.
Sits Down on Socialism.
The convention sat down hard on a
socialistic resolution to the effect that
a political party SHOULD be organized.
