John Mitchell as a Labor Leader.

No one acquainted with the labor
leader-labor "agitator," as he was
commonly called,-of a decade or
more ago who has had close insight
head of the United Mine Workers,
can doubt that John Mitchell is a
new type of labor leader, He is not
demagogue; haranguer; a typical
agitator. His public speeches and
statements show this. They do not
overflow with flowery metaphors APP
| pealing to the passions and prejudi-
| ces of his followers; but for the most
part, they are business-like presenta-
tions of conditions as he sees them,
appealing to the reason. At no time
in the history of the labor movement
in this country have such remarka-
bic manifestos been issued by any
leader as have been his replies to the
operators and his presentations to
the public of the miners side of the
controversy during the progress of
the strike just closed. His point of
view-his regarding labor as a COM
modity-and his lucid power of ex-
PLANTATION, as evinced in his state
ments and public addresses, show
that labor leader of new school of
thought and action has come to the
front. He is, first of all, as bushes
man in the labor movement; He
leads organized labor as our captain
OF industry manages great COM
mercial or industrial combination.
He treats labor as commodity. The
particular amount which the United
Mine Workers control is for sale;
his organization wants the highest
price 1t can get for it; he realizes at
the same time that the purchasers
the railroad-mining comprehensive
all consumers, want to get this labor
at as low price as possible. These
two opposite points of view, he be-
Iieves, can be reconciled by the two
parties most interested bargaining
as to the price of labor. This is done
between capital and labor in ten Of

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF COAL MINES

AS against the assertion by the OPP
orators of the unqualified right to
manage their own affairs without in
reference, either from the workmsn
or from the public, the answer of
aroused American conservatism was
that in the last analysis the rights OF
the private owners of the coal mines
were least important of all. The most
fundamental right was that of the
public to obtain its necessary fuel
supplies Next in Importance was
the well being of the large popula-
ton employed in the hard and dan-
gerous work of mining coal for public
use. American conservatism will
not couilscate anybody's property
and it will doubtless deal most ten
derby with the issues of watered
stocks and bonds that the monopoly
exploitation of the Anthracite coal
fields has converted into the SEM
blance of sacred vested interests.
But American economic thinking
has made n great advance. Public
ownership of coal mines has now
been talked of, not merely by the
class of men called rabip socialists
but by hard headed business men
and shrewd practical politicians. We
are not, indeed, going to have public
ownership and operation of coal
mines in the United States at any
time in the near future at least
there is no probability of such "A de-
velopment. But we may fairly hope
TO have state of public Intelligence
and political honesty which will
bring about the rigid enforcement OF
means to regulate and control such
combinations as the one which has
brought on this great anthracite

the disadvantages of the country is

and force of Mr.. Richard Olney, in

the public, are the advisers of tn,

Before midnight of Tuesday the
telegraph and telephone brought as
surances that the entire republican
ticket Of Iowa county and the state
of Wisconsin was elected. Wednes-
day morning returns showed that
LnFollette had carried Iowa Coun-
ty by $50 plurality, and the State by
$4,000 or more. Since then artificial
roses have disappeared, blown away
by the healthy political breeze of
Tuesday, ut swept over the state
from Lake Michigan to the Mis-
sissippi river, and from the border OF
Illinois to Lake Superior. Milwau-
kee county, part in the defeat of
Rose, and LaFayette's contribution
to the same result are most signifl-
cant.
Elsewhere are figures showing the
vote for various candidates in the
towns and cities of Iowac ounty.

Name of Cape Nome.

Professor Davidson in the National
Geographic Magazine says that during
the last four years he has made nu-
merous inquiries concerning the origin
of the name of Cape Nome. He
searched every available chart and
narrative of the region until the Ad-
miralty chart of 1853 was found, which
proved to contain the earliest use of
the name. This discovery convinced
the professor that the name must have
been given during the voyage Of the
Sir John Franklin ships Herald and
Plover. So he wrote to the chief o,
the Admiralty asking II any officer on
these ships was named Nome. The
following is the reply: when the NJ
S. chart of region was being construct
ed on board H NJ. s. Herald attention
was drawn to the fact that this point
had no name, and a mark {? Nance
was placed againstit.
IN the hurry of dispatching this
chart from the ship this 90 appears &c

draughtsman and appeared as Cape

name ever since.

The Fog Fiend has come to London

MAY REJECT Offer
Miners Look Upon Operators
Proposal With Suspicion
MITCHELL is TO DECIDE


A Wilkesbarre, Pa. Oct. IA, special
states: President Mitchell of the min
ers' union dictated the following state
ment to the press tonight:
II fully appreciate with what anxiety
the people Of our country are awaiting
the end OF the coal strike. The coal
operators have not addressed the
miners union or its officers in making
their public statement. It is. therefore.
impossible or me to state the attitude
Of the miners at this time. I am now,
as ! have always been. deeply solicitous
of the interests of the public and the
welfare Of the mine workers, who have
9elen on strike for the past five months.
A formal statement, defining our posi-
tion and intentions. will be issued just
as soon as we are in possession of the
full meaning of the proposition of the
operators"
From a thorough canvass of the
situation as 1t exists tonight, there is
every indication for believing that the
new arbitration plan proposed by the
presidents of the coal companies for
ending the miners strike will not be
accepted in It's present form. There is
a division of opinion among the strik-
tiS' Jul tIeTe lS HO uOuDt tndt u ma
jority feel that the offer to have the
president OF the United States select
an arbitration commission along the
lines suggested by the operators is not
fair and that 1t unduly limits the presi-
dent in making up the board. The
miners. it is safe to say. will abide by
the advice of their national president,
in whose Judgment they have the ut
most confidence. President Mitchell
declines to say how he personally looks
upon the proposition, but tonight he
gave to the press the foregoing state
ment.
This statement was made by him at
8 o'clock, after a silence lasting all
day. He had no intention of making
1t until the correspondents represent
ing newspapers all over the country
called on him in a body and informed
him that the general public desired to
have an answer to the proposition of
the operators. After giving 1t. he was
asked many questions regarding the at
titude of the men and the probability
of the acceptance or rejection of the
new offer, but he had no reply to make
TO any OF these questions.
