John Mitchell. president of the United
Mine Workers, returned last night at n'4o
over the Big Four from the East. where
he has been for two weeks in consultation
with the Pennsylvania mine operators.
Mr.. Mitchell said when seen by a Journal
reporter that the object Of his trip had
been accomplished and settled satisfactor-
lily to the union. TIL trouble lay In the
failure of the railroad presidents to rec
ognize the commissioners of the United
Mine Workers on the board Of Cancellation.
An agreement was entered into some
time ago in Pennsylvania whereby a gen.
eral board of Cancellation was created,
which should have executive powers and
jurisdiction in all matters pertaining to
rates, business and disputes among the
mines. The board was composed Of rep
resentatives from the different interests
involved-three from the national organi-
cation of United Mine Workers. three
from the State district and three from rail-
road presidents who own the mines. The
three commissioners, who represented the
national organization. were district pres
idents. The railroad commissioners said
the union had no right to appoint district
presidents and refused to recognize their
representatives in the settlement of the
late strikes. Mr.. Mitchell had a confer
ence with the railroad presidents at Scran-
ton, In which the latter officials were
made to admit the right of the union to
appoint district presidents as their repre-
sentatives, and agreed to recognize here
after their jurisdiction as members Of the
board.
Mr.. Mitchell spent a good part of his time
visiting the different mine operators in the
district and participated in several celebra-
lions Of the miners. When asked about the
$500, 900 suit filed against him by a Bingham
ton lawyer named Weihle, Mr.. Mitchell
said it was true. He said that Weihle
charged them with stealing his idea and
plan for settling the strike. He claims that
he had the settlement of the strike all
worked out and the board usurped II. Ac-
cording to him, he settled the strike. Mr..
Mitchell has engaged his attorney to fight
the suit, but he says he does not anticipate
any difficulty In winning the case. The suit
will be tried at Scranton. Mr.. Mitchell will
spend to-day at his office comforting with
mine representatives in the settlement of
local discords. Tonight he will leave for
Winslow, where the miners of that neigh
borhood will hold a Publication meeting to-
morrow in observance of Mitchell day. Mr..
Mitchell and other union officials will be
present and make addresses.

Views of the Parade.

Grand Marshal Edwin Pugh. at the head
of the parade, rode like an old cavalry Of
fcer. His staff of assistants was well
chosen and presented a fine appearance.
XXX
The squad of police, commanded By Cap
tain Kruger, did a few fancy evolutions
in the parade which the average citizen did
not know were included In the repertoire
of the force. The hollow square and cross
formations were specially well executed.
The Big parade yesterday was one Of the
few that have been given in Indianapolis
which started exactly on time. Moving at
exactly 2 o'clock, the time set, the parade
required one hour and forty-three minutes
10 pass the reviewing stand.
The battalion of Foresters from Toledo.
composed of a number of teams from that
pearance in the parade. The battalion was
the only one entered In the battalion drill
yesterday, the drill being the first of the
kind ever given at a Foresters' encamp-
ment.
The Toledo Drum Corps. uniformed in
maroon and white. and playing snare and
bass drums and bugles. were one of the
star features of the parade. The drum
corps headed the Toledo battalion and was
the finest that has ever been seen in In
dianapolis, both in point Of uniform and
drill. and in the quality of the music they
make.
XXX
Arrangements for handling the crowd
during the parade yesterday were excel
lent. The streets along the line of march
were roped on and policemen, regulars
/ and special men. were stationed at clo.e
intervals to see that no one Crossed the
| street. Not an accident Of any SORT occnr-
