1906. At that time the miners will pre- sent new. demands. The convention to formulate these demands meets in De cember. It is already practically set tied that the two chief things to be asked for by the men will be recogni- ton of their union and the eight hour day. The operators are preparing to resist. It is even predicted that the soft coal mine owners will join those of the anthracite fields and thus will precipltate strike extending over the entire territory covered by the United Mine Workers. If so 1t will be the most gigantic labor struggle in his tory. On one side the mine owners will mass with the coal carrying railroads. all under the leadership of Divine Right Baer. On the other will be a half million miners under the capable generalship of John Mitchell. That the operators are preparing for such bat tie is shown by at least two things first, they are quietly getting together and coming to an understanding throughout the country; second, they are storing up coal at every possible point Nor are the men idle In the soft or bItumlnous fields. extending over a large number of states in the central and far west they are already perfectly organized. with a fund of millions in their treasury. In the an AhracIte region the organization Is be- Ing brought up to a point of perfection such as 1t has never Known before.
 President Mitchell himself says he does not want a strike. and he refuses to predict that one will occur. His speeches have been conciliatory. espe- eIally the later ones The coal opera tors refuse to talk But the prepara- tions for the contest go on.
 One of the points of attack by the mine owners is on what is known as sthe certificate law This provides that before a man can secure a cer- ti6cate to mine in the anthracite fields be must have had at least two years' experience as,a helper in those fields. This shuts out soft coal miners from the whole hard coal region and makes 1t impossible for the operators to hll thair mines except if be with men con frulled hy the union A test case to de seruine the eonstitntEo1ality of the act was recently br0ughf- and hearings were had h New York.

remains that there is certain to be a contest, and gigantic one at that. And 1t goes without saying that John Mitchell will be in the middle of this contest.
 The hold this man has on his people approaches the hero worship of the simple, primitive folk in the olden days. At the time of McKinley's as- sassination, when the news had been flashed over the country that the pres ident had been shot, very many of the miners believed it was Mitchell that had been striken down, and threatened trouble until finally convinced of their mistake.
 One Pole, or it may have been a Slav or Italian, in the mining region once tried to qualify for citizenship. ''Who is the president of the United StatesY he was asked. "John Mitch ell" was the reply. Thousands of the men and boys in the anthracite fields who know little other English, yet know enough to say, "Me Johnny Mitchell man."
