Interest was centered today in President
Mitchell's address to the public. Groups
of men gathered in places in the mining
towns and listened while one Of their num-
ber read aloud the address of their chief.
The rumors that the coal companies ex-
pected break in the ranks Of the men are
not borne out by the actions of the men.
Here and there a few men may be ready
to go back. but they cannot be found
Some Of the officials OF the company say
that they get applications daily from
strikers who want work.
These men. they say, are given work
about the mines whenever they have work
for them.
So far as known none of the companies
in this region are attempting to resume
mining. The mine workers committee u

remained at the engines from continuing
work. Very few, however, are joining the
ranks OF the strikers.
The union is unable to make any head
way with the new men brought here to
take the strikers places.

The democratic party was anxious to sec
