JOHN MITCHELL DAY,
Will Be Observed Tomorrow by Big
Demonstration of United Mine
Workers.

Tomorrow, Oct 29--John Mitchell day
will be observed by union men in
Carbondale and vicinity with parade
that Will traverse the central streets of
the town. The joyful spirit of the
miners. the happy result of the termn-
alton of the strike. wherein the miners
were recognized as having grievances,
has given an impetus to the prelimn-
aries of the celebration, and it is pre-
dicted that tOmorrow's observance will
eclipse the successful demonstration of
last year. All collieries and workings
Will be shut down to give mine workers
an opportunity to march in the parade.
The mine workers extend hearty in
vita;ions TO all crafts in the city afiili-
ated with the Central Labor uniOn
those represented in the Federal union
and every union man and sympa thiaer
as well in this city and immediate VIC
unity. There has not been ample time
Since the settlement of the strike to
send other Invitations, so it is hoped
that the one through the press will suf
flee. The miners look forward to the
biggest demonstration of union labor
ever attempted in Carbondale. The
circumstances Of the recognition given
mine workers in the settlement of the
coal strike justify the big day that is
being arranged for.
