MINERS GROW RESTLESS.
Many in District IA Are Opposed to
Reduction.

Pittsburg. Kas., March 1s.-Senti-
ment among the miners of this dis
trict is divided as to whether the prop
osition OF the operators of a reduction
of a little over 5 per cent. should be
accepted, as recommended by Presi-
dent Mitchell. The miners of this dis
trict are disappointed because they
were not given an opportunity to vote
on the proposition. It is thought likely
that if the matter had been left to the
miners of district IA to decide the prop
osition would have been rejected. al
though there are many who believe
that President Mitchell's advice was
sound, and that his policy will prove
in the end to be the wise one
However. these are those who take
different view of it. and many of
these are inclined to place a great deal
of blame upon Mitchell. Among these
are many miners of Frontenac, who
are not backward in expressing their
disa pproval of President Mitchell and
their opposition to any reduction being
accepted. 1t is reported that crowd
of the F'rontenac men took a picture
of John Mitchell. which had been
hanging in a saloon there and placed it
in an outbuilding, thus expressing
their disapproval of his policy.
