ger train on the Sioux City branch
of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis
d Omaha railroad, due to arrive in

STATEMENT FROM MITCHELL.
The President of the Mine Workers'
Union Furnishes the Press
His Views.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 23.-Presi-
dent John Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers of America has issued
an address to the public for publica-
ton in the newspapers. 1t is partly
a reply to the letters of the operators
declining to accede to the demands
of the union, which were published
about ten days ago.
Briefly summarized, the address
says that every possible means was
resorted to in the effort to prevent
the strike; claims that the cost of liv.
ing has increased to the point where
the miner was compelled to ask for
higher wages; denies the allegations
of the operators that the productive
capacity of the mine workers has
fallen off, but, on the other hand,
has increased; quotes official figures
to s~ubstantiate the contention that
the employers can pay higher wages
without increasing the cost of. coal
to the consumer; asserts that the
coal-carrying railroads, which con.
troll about eighty-five per cent. of
the mines, absorb the profits of their
coal companies by charging exorbi-
tant freight rates; claims that a ton
at the mines means anywhere from
2,740 to $3.50 pounds instead of 2,240,
and says that more men are killed
and injured in the anthracite mines
of Pennsylvania annually than were
killed or wounded during the Span
ish-American war. The address also
says that in the event the union is
crushed, which it adds is not likely, a
new organization would rise from it's
ruins. It concludes with another ap-
peal for arbitration Of all questions
in disnute
