JOHN MITcHELL's VIEWS.
The President Of the United Mine
Workers Thinks Strikes Will Cease
at the End of This Month.

The President of the United Mine
Workers Thinks Strikes viii Cease
at the End of This Month.
New York, May 2S.-John Mitchell
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America, told a reporter that
he did not think the labor difficulties
a, present disturbing the country from
ocean to ocean would continue after
the end of this month.
"The strikes and differences in gen.
eral between employee and employer
are but temporary in my opinion"
said he. And they are no greater
this year than they have been in form
er times. Through the month of April
and around the first of May, in fact, is
the time for the renewal of contracts
and the adjustment of whatever diff
f~erences have grown up during the
year. 1t is a sort of summer house
cleaning. AS l have said before, the
difficulties presented this year are no
greater than they have been in the
past.
THE reason that labor is attracting
so much attention at present is on ac-
count of the growth of trades union
ism. That organized labor has be-
come a factor in the worlds system of
economy is evident and society must
figure on it in all it's evolutions.
ION the other hand the formation of
trusts, the policy of merging and
forming great combines of capital are
developments of the past two or three
years, and where capital never met
with public attention before its small
est move now is observed. AS labor
organizations affect capital more than
any other thing in the universe, so
they also come into the glare of the
lime light.
"There is no more trouble now be-
tween employer and employe than
there has been in the past, nor are
conditions any more serious, but the
people are up with the times and
that is why they watch every move"
