Miners Vote to Continue the struE.
gle 10 the Bitter End.

Hazleton. Pa, May 1.-THE anthra.
cite mir eworkers In convention late
yesterday afternoon decided TO con.
tinue the strike OF the 145. 900 mer
against the mine owners and to fight n
out to the bitter end. The matter Of
calling out the engineers. firemen and
pump runners will be decided by the
delegates to-day. The vote to continue
the suspension was as follows: Total
vote cast, Sill; for strike, 461 Ia;
against strike, $40 ga; majority fol-
strike. IL Ia. The step taken yesterday
by the miners after practically con-
sidering the matter for two months has
wiped out the uncertainty OF the situa-
ton, and It is freely predicted that the
most serious labor struggle In the his
tory of the country. IL not the world, Is
about to begin. That Is the view taken
By nearly every miner. While the lead
ers are cautious and will not forecast
their actions. 1t is not unlikely that
The Miners Fight
will be carried into the bituminous coal
regions and into other fields of indus
cry. Mineworkers for eighteen months
have been looking forward to the strike
that Is now upon them. They have
saved their money and are considered
TO be In better shape for q fight than
they were in the great strike Of 1900.
That struggle ended in the mine own
ers giving the men a 10 per cent ad-
vance after a six weeks suspension.
The operators are on record as being
unalterably opposed TO granting the
men any concessions, ard they have
personally informed the mineworkers'
leaders Of that fact. The workmen fear
that the present fight nay mean the
destruction OF their organization, be-
cause they believe the mine owners are
bent more on wrecking their union than
they are in opposing the demands for
higher wages and shorter work days.
Mitchell Advised Peace.
President MitcheIl's advice to the
miners was peace, and he gave It to
them in the plaine,t and most forceful
Of language. II Is said that q telegram
was read from the American Fedora
ton OF Labor against a permanent sus-
pension. But the delegates would not
listen, and amid considerable up
pressed excitement the vote vas taken.
The result was received by the con-
vention with applause, which. how
ever, vas not very enthusiastic or pro-
ionged. The men appreciated the seri-
Of their decision, which no
doubt dempenei their ardor.
While the people Of the coal fields are
glad that the suspense and uncertainty
sccasioned by the long delays In reach
Ing a conclusion OF h strike question
are over, the news of the conventions
action has caused considerable depres-
sion. Business has been ~paraiyzed to C
certain extent, and II viii probably

MAY II 1T UP.
Civic Federation Quietly Preparing
to Receive Overtures.


Hazleton, Pa, May 2O.-The visit OF
Ralph NJ. Easley, secretary OF the Ma
tional Civic Federation. to strike head
quarters and his conference with Presi-
dent Mitchell of the United Minework-
ers late Saturday night was the only
the attention yesterday OF the labor
leaders and others around h Valley
hotel. As neither Mr.. Easley nor Mr..
Mitchell would say anything regard
ing their meeting, there was much spec
ulation as to the object of the visit or
the secretary of the Civic Federation.
Mr.. Easley laughed at the stir which
his arrival caused and said there was
rot the slightest significance attached
10 his trip here. He reiterated that he
came here merely to look over the
ground and to keep himself Informed
of the general situation. He denied that
he brought any plan for a settlement
of the strike. Mr.. Easley also said he
Carried No Message
back with him from Mr.. Mitchell. He
would not discuss his visit to the Ohio
senator at Washington on Friday. His
talk with the miners national leader
lasted two hours. He again saw Mr..
Mitchell for a few minutes yesterday
morning and left for New York at 10
a. m. Despite he denials Of the b
leaders, the members of the Civic Fed
Grafton and the coal operators, all or
whom have thus far rigidly adhered to
the policy Of absolutely refusing to an
ticipate any move in connection with
the strike. IL Is believed here that h
| Federation Is quietly preparing to re-
ceiye any proposition that might posi-
bly, be offered by either side. This be-
lief IL strengthened by the fact that
only t~wenty-four hours had elapsed
from the time the conference was held
al washington between Senator Han
ma. President Gompers of the American
Federation Of Labor, and Mr.. Easley,
and the latter's arrival here.
Absolute Quiet Reigns.
Absolute quiet reigned at the head
quarters and throughout the Lehigh
valley. Although 1t was Sunday there
was little rest for President Mitchell
and his two secretaries. Excepting Mr..
Easley he had no visitors. and he gave
his uninterrupted attention TO a large
batch of mail pertaining to h strike
In the anthracite field and to miners
business In bituminous localities. The
strike now enters pom It's second week
The week Just ended was the first, It
Is said, In the history Of the hard Coal
trade, that no coal was mined in n
mart of the region. No disturbances OF
any have been reported
anywhere. President Mitchell said that
he could not yet say when the special
national convention to be called for the
nurpc.e of considering the a~dvisability
ot involving the bituminous miners In
the anthracite strike will be held. He
has not yet received the consent of the
two districts still needed to make up
the ave that are necessary under the
rules to call a special convention.
