PRES. MITCHELL ON STRIKES
STILL MAINTAINS HE rs NO AD-
VOCATE OF THEM.
Believes, However, There Are Times
When They Are Necessary to Cltnch
the Argument of Truth In the In
forests of the Laboring People of the

Country.
Huntington, w. Va, March 24.-Coal
operators, miners, laboring men, pro-
fessional men, bankers, and business
men to the number of more than 1000
crowded in front os a local hotel here
to-day to listen to an open air address
by President John Mitchell, Of the
United Mine Workers on the subject of
strikes. Mr.. MitchelPs remarks bore
directly and almost entirely on the sit
uation in West Virginia at this time.
He said in part: H.. -
1.-THE capital and labor question de-
mands the serious attention and inves-
tigation of the American public. 1t is
the paramount subject of the American
thinking people and all chimeras and
theories must bow before the great
facts pressing for solution and settle
ment. am not an advocate of strikes,
but there are times when they are
necessary to clinch the argument of
truth in the interests of laboring peo-
pie of this country. Strikes are a feat
ure of civilization, and they are merely
a means to an end in the great social
evolution that is now confronting the
American people. Barbarous countries
and states have no strikes; they are
unknown there. Strikes are the sledge
hammers that weld the connecting links
of labor and capital and make the end
less chain Of commercial prosperity
We want better understandings be-
tween employer and employe, and we
come with offerings of peace. The la
Dor unions are trusts, just like your
doctors trust, the ministers trust and
the money trust, only we call these as
sociations and corporations, while we
style ourselves unions. There is no CIV
ilization without labor There can be
no progress without this potent factor.
and why should we not protect and
roster the interests of such an import
ant element in our national progress?
We have an abiding faith in the people
Tor an amicable adjustment of the diff
ferences between capital and labor and
truth, that jewel, for which our great
economic statisticians are searching
Will settle all strikes and adjust all diff
terences. We desire an amicable settle
ment of the pressing questions of the
labor movement in West Virginia. and
every fair means will be employed bv
the United Mine Workers to bring aho,,+
this happy result"

Right here let me remind you that
for the man or woman who would ac-
QUire the graceful, kindly bearing Of
good society. the best friend and best
teacher is the full-length mirror in the
privacy Of a bedroom or dressing
room. 1t was Lord Chesterfield who
wrote something Of that sort to his
son. 1t is as true today as II was
then.
If you are an awkward actress in
this simple and pretty role, and if you
want to inspire your guests with your
welcoming words don't neglect to fol-
low this course. The same mirror
