RAILROAD MEN ARE DEFIANT,

MitcheIPs Statement Misleading
Says President ELEPHANT of ID. *
H.-Win Be No Arbitration.
New York, June 23.-President "A. M.
Olyphant of the Delaware and Hudson
Company to-day made the following
comment on the statement of President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
of America, issued in reply to that of
the operators in which the correspond
ence leading up to the strike was made
public:
"Mitchelps statement is misleading
and unreliable as to facts and figures
If Mitchell proposes to call out the
btuminous miners and paralyze the
entire industries of the country, he will
find that he has taken upon his Shout
ders a job bigger than he is able to
cope with.
There will be no arbitration. that
is certain. We will operate our mines
again with the men that are on strike
now. They will be only too glad to
come back and no strike leader will
be able to keep them out"
