Philadelphia. Jan. 12.-President
Mitchell, Of the United Mine Workers
of America. tonight issued the follow
ing circular letter to all local unions in
the anthracite district:
philadelphia, Jan. II, 1903.
To the officers and Members of Local
Unions of the L. NJ W. of A in the
Anthracite Region:
Gentlemen-YOu are no doubt aware
that a serious coal famine exists in all
the eastern and seaboard cities, due to
the shortage Of the anthracite coal sup
ply. The situation has reached an acute
stage and has resulted in great suffer-
ing and hardship to the poor of the
cities whose earnings are insufficient to
enable them to pay the excessive prices
now being charged for fuel, and it is
subjecting the, general public to great
inconvenience.
To relieve the situation and alleviate
as far as possible the suffering now be-
ing endured is the duty of every one
connected with the production of coal.
With this end in view We are prompted
to address this communication to all
members of our union and request that
they cooperate with the management
of the mines in an effort to increase the
production of coal The gravity OF the
situation is such as to require that
every mine worker shall exert himself
and use every means at his command
to this end.
Upon reading this communication in
the columns of the daily papers local
unions should hold meetings and devise
means whereby the daily output of the
mines may be increased. These efforts
should be continued until the weather
moderates and the great necessity for
fuel shall have passed.
(Signed)
John Mitchell,
President U. NJ. W. of A;
D. N. Nichols,
Thomas Duffy,

that he was seen at a cattle camp
about thirty-five miles east of Black

his former associates, and that they are
now headed for the Hole in the Wall"
