offenSe they may commit" The reSo-

Mitchell to Speak Twice.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 81
President John Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers, spent the day at Allan
tic City, returning to Ahis city late to-
night. Mr.. Mitchell denied that he
went to the seashore to see Senators
Quay and Penrose, and said he did not
see either of them, or any other person,
on the question of settling the strike.
While he will not admit it, there is a
well founded belief that he saw several
persons on the question of donating
funds for the relief of the strikers.
President Mitchell will be the central
figure in the Labor day celebration
here tomorrow. He will make two ad-
dresses at a picnic. The entire pro-
ceeds of the picnic will be given to the
miners relief fund.
